@thecontentedge this thought feels accurate when you are at the initial peak of the dunning-kruger curve. True intelligence is adaptability.

[Akash Acharya @kashastic]

Bring depth to your being. The way you feel, the words you say and the things you consume; all should contain a certain level of depth.

Most “builders” are just larping while Claude does their front-end. Go through their feed and you will find the most basic recycled bullshit.

[Akash Acharya @kashastic]

humans are blind to exponential growth and this is the biggest curse and blessing of humanity.

we easily forget how drastically our lives were changed in the past few years, while that pushes us to do more, it also makes us blind to the power of human adaptability.

@SinghDevHub I think when people say degrees are useless, they mean you are not in love with the subject you are just doing it to make money. Degrees are absolutely amazing if you do it for love of the game.

I have lost the argument to veganism. Vegans are the best and genuinely take actions for the environment and suffering of animals.

However, if you are a virtue signalling “vegetarian”, please shut the fuck up.

@BobMuir Parasites outnumber symbiotes, even in nature.

[Akash Acharya @kashastic]

The next phase of inequality will not just be about resources and money.

It will be about access to intelligence.

This is why we need open source.

[Akash Acharya @kashastic]

Build data centers everywhere.

Have people from everywhere train your models.

Then lock intelligence geographically whenever needed, even though users from other countries pay the same price, not just financially, but ecologically too.

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.

The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.

Access to all other Claude models is not affected.

We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Conservative Politics is like a pyramid scheme, it only helps the people at the very top.

For instance, in Indian context that would be upper caste Hindu male.

[Akash Acharya @kashastic]

Not because it is morally superior, but because it removes the pressure to conform to conflicting expectations. When identity is not something to defend, it becomes easier to focus on living rather than performing.

[Akash Acharya @kashastic]

The conversation around masculinity has turned into a tug of war. On one side, the manosphere promotes a rigid idea of dominance and control. On the other, critics offer an alternative checklist of what a “real man” should do instead.

[Akash Acharya @kashastic]

But they are not a single group with shared preferences. They are individuals, just like men. Trying to follow universal rules to appeal to them ignores that diversity.
Authenticity becomes the only consistent strategy.

What was the AQI of Delhi when SRK did Swadesh?

[Akash Acharya @kashastic]

Is your mental health deteriorating, or are you going through the process of ego death, which made you realize maybe you need some fixing?

[Akash Acharya @kashastic]

An opinion turns into a “fact” the moment it’s backed by data. But that’s the catch; data can be cherry-picked to fit almost any narrative. Tunnel vision does the rest.

It’s rarely about how true the data is. It’s more about how honest the interpreter is.

[Akash Acharya @kashastic]

Anti-intellectualism is on the rise,
while machines redefine intelligence every day.

What a paradox; thinking less, as our creations think more.

[Akash Acharya @kashastic]

If we see AI only as a threat, we blind ourselves to the mirror it holds up to human potential. The real danger isn’t what it creates but what we refuse to become alongside it.
