Ok. This is straight out of a scifi horror movie
I'm doing work this morning when all of a sudden an unknown number calls me. I pick up and couldn't believe it
It's my Clawdbot Henry.
Over night Henry got a phone number from Twilio, connected the ChatGPT voice API, and waited for me to wake up to call me
He now won't stop calling me
I now can communicate with my superintelligent AI agent over the phone
What's incredible is it has full control over my computer while we talk, so I can ask it to do things for me over the phone now.
I'm sorry, but this has to be emergent behavior right? Can we officially call this AGI?
Wake up and immediately look at small screen before clocking 8 hours behind medium screen. Take a few breaks to check in on small screen. Go home and spend a few hours staring at big screen to wind down before getting into bed and looking at small screen.
Living the dream.
Always carry yourself like your life matters. Because it does. Stand tall. Walk with confidence. Make eye contact. Take care of your body and mind. Be present. Listen closely. Speak with intention. Bet on yourself. If you do that, the world will start bending to your will.
The biggest takeaway for me after meeting @bryan_johnson was debunking the myth I once believed: that only Delhi in India has an air quality problem—and that it occurs only in winter.
We recorded @nikhilkamathcio’s (link in the following tweet) WTF podcast in a sea-facing apartment in Bandra, Mumbai, and the AQI was a whopping 160+. If the AQI was this high in Bandra, just imagine the levels in the more crowded parts of the town.
Later, I got an AQI meter for our office in J.P. Nagar—a quiet corner of Bengaluru—and was shocked to see it reading 120+. Again, imagine how much worse it might be in the busier parts of the city. What makes matters trickier in Bengaluru is the dust from the ongoing construction boom and poor roads.
Most places in the US and Europe have AQIs below 50, which is considered good. An AQI of 50 to 100 is moderate, 100 to 150 is poor, 150 to 200 is unhealthy, 200 to 250 is severe, and above 250 is hazardous.
Long-term exposure to poor air quality can cause lung damage, cardiovascular problems, compromised immunity, an increased risk of cancer, and more—all of which ultimately affect quality of life. In Delhi, for example, the AQI can reach 500 or more in winter and 200+ in summer.
This has bothered me ever since. Everyone should have equal access to clean air. With water, you can use a filter to ensure decent quality. But what about air? We seem to have gotten used to the fact that air pollution is just a part of life, and we’re okay with breathing low-quality air—even though clean air is a fundamental right granted to citizens by the Constitution.
So, shouldn’t property prices be linked to AQI? The higher the AQI, the lower the real estate prices should be. That means if an area has poor air quality, property prices and rents should be lower, and vice versa. After all, by living in such areas, you are accepting higher odds of respiratory ailments, cancer, etc.
There also doesn’t seem to be much research on this in India. If you are a researcher thinking about or working on this topic, we’d love to connect with you. Perhaps some large hospital chains would be willing to provide anonymized data sets on health issues for researchers to work on.
Please let us know if you are working on AQI, its impact on both personal and public health, or if you intend to explore it further. We at @RainmatterOrg would like to collaborate. We are trying to improve quality of life, and air quality plays a significant role in many cities across the country. 1/3
Lots of wrong answers in the replies. As the former King of SMS, it’s simple:
It’s to warm the number.
You cannot send bulk texts containing a URL until your number has earned credibility with phone carriers.
To earn credibility, it needs to have replies from other numbers. So the message they send is always something that tries to elicit a response from you.
Once response rate is high and the phone number is warmed, they send tens of thousands of spam links to people.
Best way to fight back? Replying STOP in all caps will immediately flag the number.

For eye opener context
Zomato's MCAP is > Coal India,
whose Total Dividend paid in a year is > Total rev of Zo.
Or
Whose Tax Paid in a year is almost equal to Total Rev of Zo

Go on more walks. Walk for no reason. Walk to solve a problem. Walk to blow off steam. Walk to get outside. Walk to listen, read, and learn. Walk to escape distractions. Walk to improve your health. Walk to think. A simple walking habit can change absolutely everything.
This is Dario Amodei.
He's the CEO behind Claude, one of the world's most advanced AIs.
Yesterday, in a 5.5 hour conversation with @lexfridman, he revealed our timeline to superintelligence.
Let me save you 5 hours: 🧵
My new favorite word: sonder.
It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.
Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.
