This is what I received after ordering True Elements Oats from Swiggy Instamart.
The packet was FULL OF INSECTS when I opened it. This isn't a minor delivery complaint — it's a food-safety issue.
@Swiggy@SwiggyInstamart@trueelements What makes this even more frustrating is that I've been unable to get proper assistance through the Swiggy app. There is no appropriate support process, and there doesn't appear to be an accessible customer-care number either.
800,000 human brain cells, floating in a dish, have never had a body. Never seen light. Never felt anything. And they just learned to play a video game.
That's not a metaphor. That's literally what happened.
These neurons are alive. They fire. They adapt. They get better at DOOM over time, which means something inside that petri dish is changing in response to failure. Scientists call it "goal-directed learning." There is no cleaner definition of that phrase than "it kept trying until it got better." The cells have no survival instinct, no reward system, no reason to improve. They just do.
The part nobody's talking about: researchers have to convert the game's visuals into electrical pulses the neurons can interpret. Which means those cells are perceiving something. Not seeing it the way you do. But processing a version of a world that doesn't exist, inside a container that was never meant to think.
The Turing Test was about machines fooling humans. Nobody wrote the test for this.
Life once was simple—hunt, gather, breathe. Now it's all debt, disease, dying. On the net we fight for pennies. And I wonder, how did we let it come to this? Can we even walk back?
We talk about polarization like it's a social issue. It's actually a symptom of emotional laziness - people want to belong more than they want to think.
Dr. @dr_sivaranjani painstakingly fought for 8 years to convince the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) to heed the harms of fake ORS drinks targeting children, flooding the market from greedy corporate companies.
She won. FSSAI ordered the ban on the use of “ORS” in product names except for WHO-approved formulations - which meant that these companies fake mislabelled products could not be sold.
But then, she lost.
In a new twist of events, the Delhi High Court and FSSAI has now ordered that fake ORS products, especially the worst and the most stocked one - ORSL Drink by JNTL Consumer Health (the name for the Indian consumer health subsidiary of Johnson & Johnson, which is now known as Kenvue) can continue to be sold temporarily under the High Court’s interim protection.
The Court and FSSAI has essentially allowed the sale of fake mislabelled products worth 180 crore Indian Rupees to protect the interest of the greedy corporations without any concern for the children's health.
As a citizen of this country, you can help the good doctor and her great deed by BOYCOTTING THESE SUBSTANDARD PRODUCTS - LET THESE PRODUCTS ROT ON THE SHELVES. The public is the most powerful entity of a Nation. Let us be one and take care of ourselves and our children.
Do not buy these SUGARY products with zero health benefits and do not follow WHO Standards- and spread the word please! Share maximum!
ORSL by JTNL (Johnson and Johnson, Kenvue)
REBALANCE VIT ORS (ReddyLabs)
GLUCON - D ORS (Zydus)
The Courts allowed it. FSSAI consented to it.
But as the public of this country who value our childrens health, let us not. Make sure these greedy corporations suffer for their deceptions.
Happy birthday #DavidGilmour!
Here he is at the Albert Hall with his mate Dave, singing Comfortably Numb.
Grab a biscuit and a cup of tea, this is nice.
