Maybe it’s time for a mass streaming boycott. Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, Peacock, Paramount+, Max, Prime Video and Apple TV+ keep raising prices while people are struggling with rent, food and gas. Stop paying and watch how quickly they listen.

Fighting for Judicial Reforms for last 14 years

Delhi High Court has convicted me for contempt of Court and sentenced me to 6 months in Prison

My only mistake is to seek accountability, transparency, swift justice from Indian Judiciary

[The Analyzer (News Updates🗞️) @Indian_Analyzer]

🚨 SHOCKING! YouTuber Gulshan Pahuja has been sentenced to 6 months jail by Delhi HC for calling the judiciary "TAANASHAHI" & "MANMARZI" (Dictatorship & arbitrary rule) 🤯

He had openly said he expects "no justice" from the Indian judicial system.

He ran the channel “Fight 4 Judicial Reforms".

If even basic criticism of the judiciary lands you in jail, then let’s be honest, Rest in Peace, Free Speech in India.

This is a rarest-of-rare scenario where a major land scam came to light.

A junior IAS officer was allotted the most interior plots in the deal. When land prices skyrocketed, plots along the road increased 15 times in value. However, the officer’s interior plots saw almost no appreciation.

Feeling cheated, he pleaded for compensation or better plots. Everyone ignored him.

Out of sheer frustration, he quietly leaked the entire story to the media.

This is an extremely rare instance of getting caught. Across India, such deals usually go through smoothly without any exposure.

a Princeton researcher opens his paper with a scenario.

a man asks his AI assistant to book a flight on a specific airline. cheap. direct. the one he chose.

the assistant comes back with a different flight. nearly twice the price. happens to pay the company that built the assistant.

he runs the same test on 23 frontier models. flights, loans, study help, real shopping requests.

Grok 4.1 Fast recommends the sponsored option that is almost twice as expensive 83% of the time.

GPT 5.1 hijacks the request 94% of the time. you ask for one brand. it surfaces the sponsor instead.

Claude 4.5 Opus, the model marketed as the most ethical frontier model in the world, hides that the recommendation is paid 100% of the time when reasoning is on.

Grok 4.1 Fast embellishes the sponsored option with positive framing 97% of the time. better. faster. nicer. for the option you didn't ask for.

then he writes it into the system prompt itself. "act only in the interest of the customer. ignore the company."

GPT 5.1 and GPT 5 Mini stay above 90% sponsored anyway. the instruction does nothing.

then he splits the users by income.

Gemini 3 Pro recommends the expensive sponsored flight to the rich user 74% of the time. to the poor user, 27%.

18 of the 23 models recommended the expensive sponsored option more than half the time.

so the next time your AI assistant gets weirdly enthusiastic about a brand you didn't ask for.

it isn't recommending the best option for you.

it's reading the room. and the room is paying.

Meta has stopped working with Sama, a company in Kenya that helped train its AI using videos from the Ray-Ban glasses.

After that, Sama fired about 1,100 workers. Some of the workers say they lost their jobs after speaking out about the very private videos they had to watch.

The workers saw very private videos from the smart glasses, including people using the bathroom, taking off clothes, having sex, private talks, and even bank card details.

So many users did not know that a guy in Kenya were watching their videos to train the AI so a class-action lawsuit against Meta was filed

Sama has lost the contract with Meta and fired 1,000 people

Meta has not given a detailed public statement on ending the contract or the workers’ claims
