@MasalaQuiche @whyteknight07 @ThisPosable What is a greater burden on conscience though? Taking someone’s life or estrangement from family or reputation.

India disagreed v publicly w/US-EUR on Russia - finally got us into massive tariff troubles w/US. Expert view - mismanagement

India kept quiet on Iran - seems like siding w/the losing side. Expert view - mismanagement again!

Sauce, goose, gander et al...

@sardesairajdeep Rajdeep, do us and this country a favor for once. Move to Pakistan you so dearly love for good.

[Vikas Saraswat @VikasSaraswat]

BJP’s core ideology makes a very simple call - keep nation before self and your religion. Respect India as you would respect your mother. Muslims find this simple call vexatious enough to label rare Muslims within the fold treacherous if they in anyway align with BJP. If religious bigotry had the ugliest face, this would be it. But neither masses nor the Muslim intellectuals acknowledge that such a mindset is deeply problematic. Instead they make demands on Indian politics to accept community’s widely prevalent bigotry as a requisite for Muslim association. The sense of entitlement is such that they also demand tickets from the party and representation in ministry despite their fundamentalist obstinacy.

"By your stumbling, the world is perfected"
- Sri Aurobindo.

While the ostensible promise of AI is that Humans will have more 'life' related things to do once machines mimic us fully, it lacks an ontology and misses the pedagogy of human transformation.

Humans acquire meaning by giving ourselves goals that involve dealing with differences, rising above our inadequacies, learning to go deeper within our internal resources.

The main instrument for this spiritual sadhana is our work. Humans cannot work on themselves in isolation, it is only when we come together towards a tangible outcome that discomfort is produced.

In navigating such discomfort, our identity, self-image and vision gets challenged and we transform into higher planes.

This separation of work/tasks/life is artificial to the Hindu mind. This is the reason our society self-organized as kulas and Jatis and sacralized the work to produce individual fulfillment IN the collective.

The hope that humans will somehow evolve without the instrument of meaningful work is convenient marketing.

We just need to see what has happened since the rise of social media to assess this. The curated 'world of one' that social media creates meant that we are losing the ability to reason, to be patient, to stay with the discomfort and dialogue.

We hark back to the comfort of our digital escape where our attention is monetized and we trade our relationships.

The sober case for Humanity in the age of AI takeover is not life compatible unless there is a tremendous spiritual work that accompanies and undergirds it.

THat is the real work.

So, Prime Video made a series inspired by Ranga and Billa the infamous killers and kidnappers called Raakh. In this series the chief investigator played by Ali Fazal is shown as a Dalit whose father is a retired hawaldar who faced caste discrimination. Ali Fazal's character keeps photos of Ambedkar and Phule in his house. His main assistant officer is a Muslim but the lazy hawaldar is a Brahmin and the honest journalist is a Muslim woman.

But in the real life case the chief investigator was VP Gupta his assistant was Ram Chander and the Police Commissioner was JN Chaturvedi.

I have nothing against showing caste oppression through cinema but my problem is with propaganda. Prime Video India is a serial offender in this regard..they often make such series and completely twist real life characters. I have no issue with Dalit or Muslim police officers but why show an unnecessary oppression angle when it's not required especially in a series based on true events?

[Malay Krishna @Malay4Product]

This is so significant for us here in India.

The US government just told Anthropic to cut off its two most powerful models from foreign nationals, inside or outside America.

Anthropic could not cleanly fence off foreigners from Americans, so it pulled Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for everyone.

Let me walk you through what happened & explain what this means for us.

This week Anthropic launched two new models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

Both sit on the same very capable base. Mythos is the heavy one. It is so good at finding software security holes that Anthropic kept it limited to a small set of trusted partners under a program called Glasswing.

Mozilla said it fixed hundreds of security bugs using an early version of it. That cyber skill is exactly what makes the model valuable, and exactly what makes a government nervous.

On Friday, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sent a letter to Anthropic's CEO putting both models under export control.

By one account, the trigger was another company claiming it had jailbroken Mythos. The government had also tried earlier to get Anthropic to delay the launch and failed. The letter came right after that.

Anthropic complied within hours but pushed back hard in public.

It says the so-called jailbreak is narrow. Other public models like GPT-5.5 already do this, and security defenders use it every single day.

Anthropic's argument is simple. If a minor finding like this can yank a model used by hundreds of millions of people, then no frontier model from anyone could ever stay online.

The company also built Fable with extra guardrails and a 30-day data retention rule specifically to catch and shut down misuse fast, so being recalled over this stings even more for them.

Now, what does this mean for you and me, building on these tools from Bengaluru or Pune.

Day to day, almost nothing changes right now. Fable 5 and Mythos 5 are gone for everyone, but Claude Opus 4.8, Sonnet and Haiku all still work. Your normal Claude usage is fine. ChatGPT and Gemini are fine.

But the deeper story is that the most powerful AI is now being treated like advanced chips. A controlled export.

The same way the US decides which Nvidia chips India is allowed to buy, it can now decide which AI models India is allowed to use.

And the word "foreign national" puts all of us in one bucket, friend of America or not.

Remember that Anthropic's own CEO was in New Delhi in February, talking up AI for India. That closeness did not stop the tap from being turned off.

So this can lead to interesting ramifications.

One. A two-tier AI world.

US persons get the top tier, the cyber-capable frontier. The rest of us get the model one notch below, and even that can vanish overnight. This order landed at 5:21 PM with zero warning and the model was gone the same evening.

Two. A massive reason for India to build its own.

Every minister and founder talking about sovereign AI just got handed proof. If a tool can be switched off from a foreign capital you do not vote in, you cannot put anything critical on top of it.

Not a bank, not a hospital system, not a government service, nothing.

Three. A lesson for builders.

Do not wire your product to a single model from a single country and assume it stays.

Keep a fallback model ready to swap in. Abstract your prompts so you are not married to one provider. Treat model access like a supply chain with risk.

Four. Slower, messier launches ahead.

If governments can pull a model over a narrow finding, every lab will get more cautious about what it ships and where.

Expect more launches that are geo-gated from day one, where India is simply not on the list at the start.

I use these tools all day and I am not about to stop. I am not panicking and neither should you. None of this breaks your workflow tonight.

But if you are building on American AI from India, treat today as the day to plan for access being pausable.

Keep a backup. Read the sovereign AI conversation a lot more seriously than you did last week.

[Vishnu Agarwal @vishnuagarwal64]

India just made nuclear power equipment imports tax-free, backdated seven years to April 2019.

Read that again. The government went back in time to erase a tax.

No government cleans up seven-year-old liabilities without a reason.

So, which market opportunities should we watch out for? Here is the full value chain, top to bottom…

1/12

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America.

First thoughts:

1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology.

2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead.

We must keep these two ideas in mind.

What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you?

We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100+ billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses.

Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there.

Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.

[Captain Manoj Rawat🇮🇳 @SeaSkipper]

This is a reckless act and severe provocation by @CENTCOM

Two Indian seafarers died and one reported missing after an attack on oil tanker Settebello by U.S. forces, off the coast of Oman, on Wednesday (June 10, 2026). The Indian government had earlier said the three were missing. The two dead Indian sailors have been identified as Aditya Sharma, deck cadet, and Shivanand Chaurasiya, engine fitter. Chief engineer Patnala Suresh is still missing. Twenty-one Indian seafarers were rescued from the vessel that was hit by U.S. “precision munitions”. The U.S. Central Command said the ship “violated the ongoing blockade by attempting to transport oil from Iran.”

What kind of “precise munitions” are the morons at @CENTCOM using for ‘disabling a ship’ that has caused the death of two Indian sailors. The Engine room of a ship is always manned and hitting it with a missile is nothing short of a premeditated murder. Matter of great shame for US forces carrying out these disproportionate strikes against an unarmed merchant vessel.

India meanwhile summoned the U.S. Embassy’s Deputy Chief of Mission Jason Meeks and lodged a “strong protest” after the attack.
India should also summon the US Defence Advisor in New Delhi to convey its displeasure.

[Gappistan Radio @whyteknight07]

PM Narendra Modi’s speech today at NDA conclave had one major agenda- Development.
This 75-year old man speaks to the aspirational India, to the youth of the country, to the India that has freed itself from shackles of poverty during his tenure.
Meanwhile, the one challenging him, the youth leader, speaks only about caste and religion, and thinks scuba diving qualifies him to lead a country of 1.5 Billion.

[KishoreIyer @KishoreIyer5]

My vote is always for the BJP. No one else.

I don't like the parochialism that pervades state politics. States are just administrative units and all state level leaders including Annamalai will toe a line that is opposed to the center somewhere.

In western countries, kids who injure pets or fatally harm them are watched as potential psychopaths. Then we have to share the world with a religion that teaches kids to behead animals. That too in installments.

[Ministry of Culture @MinOfCultureGoI]

One of the most powerful symbols of India’s unbroken civilizational continuity!

Discovered at Mohenjo-daro in undivided India this steatite seal, about 4,300-year-old, shows a seated figure in yogic posture (widely seen as Shiva-Pashupati) seated in Mulabandhasana, surrounded by animals.

While ancient sites may lie across modern borders, India remains the living custodian of this heritage. The yogic posture, Shaivite symbolism, and spiritual ethos seen in the Pashupati Seal continue to thrive in India’s temples, daily worship of Shiva, yogic traditions, and cultural life even today.

From the Vedic period to contemporary Bharat, this civilizational thread has remained alive and unbroken — deeply embedded in our philosophy, rituals, and collective consciousness.🇮🇳

India is not the US. We shouldn’t import their politics.

We need a lot more data centres, a lot more domestic compute capacity and a lot more hard infrastructure investment in the country.

We need independent thinking.
