@grok@_LOVE_u_Wotti_@RCBInEnglish@Suryakant_Waghm@DeepThinker0007 Sure the system has to be implemented correctly and transparently but the other person is a blind anti reservation bhakt. Reservation is not for economic upliftment. It is one among many tools we have to provide social justice
@wanderer_1001@Radical_Amit Up until recently they all had affirmative action. The same Indians who complain about reservation in India write applications literally lying about their lack of privilege (when back home they have plenty of class and caste privilege) to get into to top private unis in the U.S.
Ayan, have some shame. Anamitra Ray's harassment complaints to IISER Kolkata's Anti-Ragging Cell went unanswered before he died by suicide. YOU chaired that committee; the supervisor, Anamitra complained against was, umm, your wife :-) (1/2)
@danintheory So now a committee of super elite mathematicians gets early access to math breakthroughs, and they get to decide when the peasants (average mathematicians) get to learn about these discoveries.
Unforgivable !!
You first put a story that a dead student was caught cheating. Now you apologise for putting an unverified story.
But the damage is done - the dead student is not here to defend his name against slander
Is anyone at @iitbombay taking responsibility & resigning?
It is impossible to talk abt student suicides without being labelled partisan by one or the other side. We did with farmer suicides too.
Result: voices of suicide prevention experts are drowned in the cacophony.
Suicides are a public health issue. Trying again with a thread 1/n
@Kaju_Nut@curiouswavefn Also it’s not true that AI has not affected the job market. Science funding in the U.S. is increasingly allocated to AI research (this is a super broad umbrella). The U.S. being one of the largest job markets for hep-th then has an effect on almost every other country.
@Kaju_Nut@curiouswavefn Universities, atleast in the states, typically charge huge tuition fees from the students. I suspect that parents will not want computers to teach their kids after paying so much money. In India, there’s no way the government institutions will cut permanent members due to AI.
@StringSwamp The claim isn’t that they’re claiming it to have a string embedding, but that they make strong claims about it being a string theory prediction. It relies on extrapolating a conjecture for AdS vacua (which is still contested in the landscape of vacua we know) to dS…..
@ThomasVanRiet2 I completely agree with the sentiment but when your job might be at risk because seniors don’t value training young people and your immigration status is tied to your job it’s hard to keep sight of such things…
@Kaju_Nut@curiouswavefn It just feels super dismissive watching permanent people discuss this with so much distance from the problem. Our lives are being destroyed literally. There are grad students dying of suicide as we speak. Permanent members need to stop just stop discussing these points.
@Kaju_Nut@curiouswavefn Very nice for all of you to discuss this like some small problem when you have permanents when the rest of us get fucked. Thanks guys. Super helpful.
