Also, the comportment of the bench and especially the presiding judge was one of the finest moments for this Court. Handled with calmness a very difficult situation. Also the magnanimity in not punishing the petitioner.
However, for the Petitioner’s sake he should be given some treatment for obvious mental illness.

I am extremely curious to know what the report of the registrar was subsequent to their interaction with Shri. Prabal Pratap. The point of such an interaction is to prevent this exact consequence.
Assuming the Registrar is unable to effectively weed out such miscreants, the Permission to appear in person applications ought to now be listed before the Judge in Chambers before being allowed to come before the Court.
A famous judge when allowing cameras free access to Court streams said ‘Sunlight is the best disinfectant’. However I must again point out that if you don’t use sunscreen, you’re likely to get skin cancer.

PR damage control is done best, by explaining exactly what this was and what guardrails you are putting in place to prevent a repeat.
This isn’t something to laugh and joke about. People may have panicked and made financial decisions on the basis of this. On a larger scale something like this could result in massive market manipulation or be a systemic attack on India’s markets. I hope @SEBI_India investigates this and doesn’t just brush it under the carpet.

@svembu Looking forward to hearing more, since this is frankly the most important issue for the nation. 🙏🏽

So the EO actually got 3 votes. And there is a fourth vote to permit the stripping of birth right citizenship by legislation.
So, if this becomes the new Roe v Wade, we can expect birthright citizenship in the United States to be gone in a decade or so.
Thomas has compared this to Plessy v Ferguson 🤣

[Dhananjay Baijal @DeejayBaj]

Lot of chest beating on my timeline regarding Trump’s Executive Order on ‘birthright citizenship’. It’s however, the most suspect of Trump’s actions and in so far as it applies to H1B visa holders most likely dead on arrival.
Am unclear on how there is even 1 vote on the US Supreme Court to interpret the 14th Amendment ‘and subject to jurisdiction thereof’ clause in this wide manner. In fact, even a more narrowly tailored order that removed birthright citizenship from undocumented immigrants will struggle to get 2-3 votes.

The simulation cannot really deliver so quickly, could it?

JUST IN: Blacklisted Chinese company claims it has developed an AI “cyber nuclear weapon” comparable to Claude Mythos.

[Dhananjay Baijal @DeejayBaj]

AI needs its own Prometheus moment. And it’s unbelievable that as of now, the world is probably looking towards the Chinese for that moment.
A Chinese open source model called Prometheus, may just send shockwaves of the likes never seen before.
Humans should trust their evolutionary capacities. Fire in the hands of ordinary humans was an existential risk, lots of knowledge has been lost to fire. Humans die because of fire to this day. But if anyone says that access to the means to create fire be restricted, they would be laughed out of the room.

[Dhananjay Baijal @DeejayBaj]

Am wondering about how many people in India are even aware that the Indian IT industry has essentially been nuked.
What is the purpose of TCS and Infosys if they don’t even have access to the latest models? What application layer or use case will you build when you don’t even have the models?
The US has gated away frontier AI and I fail to see what is even the point of Indian IT? Who will outsource to a foreign company that doesn’t have access to the best tools?

[Dhananjay Baijal @DeejayBaj]

@markgurman I mean, the Apple TV 4K won’t get rolled back? In my 36 years on this earth, this is the only time that an electronic item, I bought a year back, has appreciated by almost 90%!?
This can’t be the new normal!

[Dhananjay Baijal @DeejayBaj]

@anuraagmuskaan @zomato Yup, these are dark patterns. The refund code, won’t be applicable on tax also. So even if you ordered the exact same items, you would not be able to use the entire amount and the balance would get wasted.

@jagritichandra To be fair, after I tasted a bite of the disgusting patty that they serve on the all economy flight to Udaipur..I would pay a premium for the no-meal fare to avoid accidentally biting into it! 🤮

Sir, if the answer to misinformation is the banning of platforms, then it’s an extremely inelegant and imprecise solution that has massive ramifications for communication and free speech. Also it will be counter productive because, you will just fan the Striesand effect and you will find screenshots of fake Telegram pages and messages flood whatsapp, X, Meta platforms.
And the scammers, will use the ban as an advertisement that they are valid, they will say we are banned because we have the goods.
To fight the misinformation, you need to flood the market with information. A concerted AI augmented information system that refutes new misinformation almost in realtime can be implemented with human in the loop.
Also law enforcement that tracks down and arrests scammers in realtime would be the best deterrent. 🙏🏽

[Dhananjay Baijal @DeejayBaj]

🤣 here is the counter intuitive argument about why India should never get a sovereign proprietary SOTA AI model.
The govt would ban it about 75% of the time.
Also this is a great example of a slippery slope, banning when there is civil unrest or banning internet in Kashmir has now led to banning an end to end messaging app for a medical entrance exam…

If you used Fable 5, you would know that how you did work was going to change massively.
If you used these models and your work output and productivity hasn’t changed that’s a you problem.
On a longer term level, access to these models will be the difference between abundance and slavery. If you can’t see it, that’s scary.

[Dhananjay Baijal @DeejayBaj]

The answer to that question is simple, if a model is so dangerous, it should be pulled. But then that model should have been pulled for everyone. What has happened today is that this technology has been restricted on the basis of nationality.
Today a convicted criminal in the US is legally allowed to access this technology but an Indian is not. Obviously, there is a reason that has been done and it’s a very blunt point that has been made.

[Dhananjay Baijal @DeejayBaj]

Let us accept all your criticisms at face value. And keep the debates around tax policies, ease of business and corruption aside.
We are now here, in 2026 when a powerful technology has been developed and this technology is possibly going to usher in changes of the scale of the Industrial Revolution on a very compressed time scale.
The labs that developed the technologies are primarily in two countries. One country we are openly hostile too.
The other Country has signaled that it will not grant access and/or restrict access to this technology as it deems fit.
So now should the Government of India, say that the technology will change the future of all its citizens should remain in the hands of foreign powers or do something about it?

Is the lesson of our colonial history that it is all the fault of the entrepreneurs in Jehangir’s Court who didn’t start the East British Company?

An elected govt in India’s primary duty is to safeguard India’s independence. If the technology is being treated like a weapon by the powers that wield it, then it has to developed like a weapon by India.

[Dhananjay Baijal @DeejayBaj]

This is like saying the Manhattan project should be run by the private sector. The restriction has come from a sovereign government. The implications are at nation state level.
This technology will alter the world like no order since possibly the splitting of the atom. It’s an all of us problem. And anyways the Indian private sector flubbed the lines spectacularly with the Infosys Sikka Murthy affair.
