Always wondered why no state/national party project modern technocrats like APJ Kalam as their ideology leader (and only seem to care about historic figures)…looks like Annamalai might be different in this case.
TN politics just got more younger🔥

@dwarkesh_sp Bio AI models…like guys who work on modelling biology using deep learning techniques…it’s a vast topic in itself ranging from single cell perturbs to virtual cells…make it happen @dwarkesh_sp 🙏🏼

[Ashwin_A @error404_22]

@dwarkesh_sp can we add a bit of animations or breakdowns for dummies?

@VishalBhargava5 @actorvijay TN has taken a big risk given it’s size of economy and development at all fronts. It’s like what The Joker says in the batman: “social experiment”…if it works it will have ripple effects across India…if it doesn’t, it’s a free fall 🙃

[Ashwin_A @error404_22]

@karthik2k2 yes. that is ONE part of it. But taking that message and conveying to ppl up North is evn more important right? Do you think all ppl watch News all the time? Most make their opinions based on what we see on social media...an IT wing to counter an IT wing...sad

[Ashwin_A @error404_22]

@karthik2k2 I personally know many people in construction industry who were affected for short term becuz of this. The migrant workers were getting calls from their families up North asking them to leave their job and come back. TN had to act switely, both on ground and also in social media.

[Ashwin_A @error404_22]

@karthik2k2 sir, again i get your point. it is the most "reasonable". BUT, we r talking about social media and internet,where speed and large scale reachout matters. Ppl make opinions in a second and u have to act fast. what do you think shd be the modern approach to this "cyber" politics?

[Ashwin_A @error404_22]

@karthik2k2 and I am completly apolitical in this...I am of the opinion that IT wings of our political parties have started playing with harmony of our country...by spewing hatred...until we have checks and balances in place, fact checker from individual governements are any day better

[Ashwin_A @error404_22]

@karthik2k2 agreed. not saying he was neutral. but do you think the late court verdict would have spread social media in North and shown the truth to the ppl?? u needed instant verification & assurance to families in North that their guys were fine and working safetly, to stop worker exodus

[Ashwin_A @error404_22]

@karthik2k2 are you saying it was simple problem? they clearly built a narrative against harmony of entire state and its business environment saying these migrants were getting beaten up. so u r okay with it? that fact checke thing came after it

[Ashwin_A @error404_22]

@UpdatesChennai @saikirankannan These guys already know. But they go over board to just win elections. How many times this has happened…they promise too much freebies and implement only few after forming govt…
Just that I expected vj to be more realistic in manifesto given the overwhelming support he has

[Ashwin_A @error404_22]

@dharanisalem @PranoyRoy @DeKoderAI good one sir. really appreciate the balanced take

[Ashwin_A @error404_22]

The Artemis II crew captured beautiful, high-resolution images of our home planet during their journey to the Moon. As @Astro_Christina put it: "You guys look great."

You’re looking at one of the most magical landscapes on earth and chances are most people have never heard of it. These are the Shola “sky islands” of the Nilgiris. At first glance, it looks like a painting, but this landscape is alive in ways most people never realize. These 'cloud forests' locally known as "Cauliflower Shola", are living water systems. They capture drifting clouds, store rain deep within their soil, and release it slowly into rivers that sustain millions of lives. They are ancient, incredibly rare, and home to species found nowhere else on Earth 🌍 like Eriochrysis rangacharii (grass endemic to Nilgiris), Horsfield"s spiny lizard etc. Photo by Meenakshi Sundaram #SholaSkyIsland #CloudForests

@venkatatweets @SaranT6 Bro is talking as if he is the only commentator in the entire panel. The magic is to find the right balance between technical/non-techincal stuff in the commentary…much like gully cricket vibe…so if you have problem with insights you should question the ex-cricketers in panel

[Ashwin_A @error404_22]

@venkatatweets @internetumpire Nahh. During the Covid years when there was no crowd, it his commentary that gave much needed energy to matches. He only speaks 8 overs per innings. Others shd improve. And he is box office. Adds raw energy like what you see football. Others rarely give that ( except Morrison )
