Has anyone experienced discriminatory gate personnel @Ryanair in Dublin ? I with my family just did and it was shocking. The tone of address and the mishandling of procedure and threatening behavior. Unacceptable for any passenger. First bad experience in Dublin

The number 1 complaint I hear from people is they just don't know wtf to do with AI agents

They set up Grok Bot, Muse, Hark, Dots, Hermes and then do nothing with it

So I'm launching a free project: Agent Use Cases

It's a website that scans the entire internet every day and finds every use case people do with AI agents

Searches across basically every site on the internet to see what people are doing with AI agents that is making them money/providing them value

Use cases are organized by category and which agent they're used in

Gives you the use case, end result, and prompt to steal the use case

Some cool use cases I've already discovered:

1. Finding unclaimed money online
2. Negotiate phone bill down autonomously
3. Teach an agent to day trade

It's completely free. Nothing pay walled. You can just go on and discover cool new use cases

I'd recommend browsing then giving the link of this post to your agent and having it find use cases relevant to you

Sign up for the newsletter if you want 5 new use cases in your inbox every morning too

How very utterly shameful @narendramodi ji 🥲

[Cyrus Dhabhar @CyrusDhabhar]

The absolute levels of shamelessness some people have. Disgusting. First spat huge fountains of paan straight out of the window. Then opened the door and didn’t same WHILE MOVING. Then did this…. Disgusting. The sticker on the car says it all.

Today we announced the Claude-led discovery of a molecular machine that we suspect could represent a new gene editing mechanism. Its precise function, biotechnological utility (if any), or level of significance is not yet clear, but at minimum it is work I would have been proud to do as a PhD student. The work was done mostly, though not entirely, by Claude: our life sciences team suggested a broad area of research, Claude read through the literature and a bunch of genome data and discovered something interesting, then Claude proposed experiments to verify the discovery and our team carried them out.

It’s easy to dismiss this as a one-off or curiosity, but we’ve repeatedly seen a pattern where AI performance in new intellectual domains goes from weak to superhuman in a matter of a few years. In 2023 models struggled to do math at the level of an average high-school student. In 2024 they started to do well on math competitions for the best high-schoolers in the country, in 2025 they started to solve minor open problems, in early 2026 more significant open problems, and in late 2026 they are beginning to solve the top few open problems in all of mathematics. We believe AI for biology is on a similar exponential trend.

The main difference between biology and mathematics, of course, is that math can be done purely theoretically, while biology requires experimentation. Some have used this to draw the conclusion that AI’s utility in biology will be limited. We think this is wrong. As we’ve demonstrated today, humans can collaborate with AI to perform the experiments, validate key results in a few weeks and, if necessary, work with the AI to iterate on what they find. Eventually it may even be possible for Claude itself to safely perform the experiments by autonomously controlling lab equipment, with appropriate safeguards in place, but we aren’t doing that today (our lab is also a BSL1/BSL2 facility that doesn't handle materials dangerous to humans).

More broadly, biomedical advancement has many stages — from fundamental biology discoveries, to translational research, to drug discovery, clinical trials, and finally the actual delivery of medicines and health care to patients. We are also interested in these later stages, but even simply accelerating the first stage of fundamental biological discoveries has the potential to speed up and broaden the entire pipeline. Improving our understanding of biology and sharpening biologists’ tools can drive forward all of the later stages, for example by identifying new drug targets, finding new therapeutic modalities, allowing for more precise measurement, and speeding up the experimental loop which itself further accelerates our understanding of biology. This will not in itself speed up clinical trial times, but if it succeeds it could greatly increase the number of promising candidates that go into the pipeline — an increase in throughput even though latency remains.

In Machines of Loving Grace, I wrote about AI’s potential to “cure most diseases in 5-10 years” — a goal that sounds impossible, but one I believe is just barely possible if AI is applied to every stage of the pipeline. The first step is showing that AI can first help with, and then drive, biological discoveries.

Claude’s discovery is the latest in a line of related prior work that goes back decades, beginning with systems like CRISPR, and continuing with discoveries like the bridge recombinase and VIPR in the past few years. Recently, there has been heightened interest in systems based on reverse transcriptase (RT) enzymes, the enzyme underlying the system Claude identified. And most recently, a Stanford team working independently described a novel RT system with an associated non-coding array that is in some ways similar to the one Claude found, though they are distinct systems that evolved independently from each other. I believe that we’re at the very beginning of finding such systems and developing them into powerful tools for biotechnology.

I’m proud of the resources Anthropic has invested in accelerating the public benefits of AI through the life sciences, and we’re aiming both to grow our life sciences team and to work with other scientists to extend this approach to a broad range of problems. If you have a proposal for a research collaboration or are interested in joining our life sciences team, please reach out.

[Rahul Shivshankar @RShivshankar]

THE SYSTEM WILL MUZZLE INDIA’S FOOD POLICEMAN – TUKARAM MUNDHE. DON’T LET IT.
Tukaram Mundhe stands between us and a silently bubbling health crisis.
Had Tukaram Mundhe not stood up to the powerful 5-star, celebrity restaurant, corporate food chain and dark store lobby, we wouldn’t have known just how much unsafe and adulterated food can enter the food chain.
In case you’re wondering, Mundhe is the Commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Maharashtra. Over the past few weeks, his relentless drive against unhygienic food vendors has led to raids on restaurants, major food chains and 86 quick-commerce hubs. The raids have uncovered serious hygiene and food-safety violations. Four Domino’s and one Pizza Hut outlet were shut after FDA inspections found, among other things, grease residue, insect infestations and food products without proper expiry information.
Then came the dark stores. The FDA suspended 14 food licences linked to Blinkit, Zepto and Instamart outlets after inspections found violations including cockroaches and expired food.
In Maharashtra’s crackdown on milk adulteration, FDA inspections detected the dilution of milk with water and the manufacture of synthetic milk using urea, detergents and formalin.
In Pune, FDA raids seized suspected adulterated khoya, paneer, cheese analogue and ghee worth ₹47.36 lakh, with 35 samples sent for laboratory testing.
The food being delivered to your home for your kids can be sitting in a warehouse where cockroaches and rodents have access to it or might even be chemical food.
This is why what Tukaram Mundhe is doing matters.
But Mundhe is doing what Mundhe does best.
This 2005-batch Indian Administrative Service officer of the Maharashtra cadre, widely known as a strict, fearless and anti-corruption bureaucrat, is often dubbed a real-life “Singham”. This is a testament to his rigid adherence to rules, zero-tolerance approach to corruption and willingness to confront the system. But he has paid a big price.
Mundhe has been transferred 25 times in 21 years of service.
And there is now an apprehension that he might be muzzled once again.
Because the pushback has begun.
The courts have questioned the proportionality and procedure of some of the FDA’s actions. The Bombay High Court recently criticised the FDA over action against Cadila Pharmaceuticals, observing that it had effectively used a “sword to kill a mosquito” after the agency seized medicines worth ₹2.4 crore without prior notice. The FDA subsequently agreed to withdraw its orders and issue show-cause notices, allowing the company an opportunity to be heard.
In another case, the Bombay High Court directed the FDA to pay ₹5 lakh to a Pune dairy and sweet shop after its licence remained suspended despite the establishment subsequently achieving 98% compliance with food-safety requirements.
The courts are right to insist that regulators follow due process.
But here is the question the rest of us must ask:
Does due process mean going soft on food-safety violations?
Mundhe should not be above the law. But neither should the food industry. Don’t curb the man because he has had the temerity to enforce the law.
Instead, stand up for him because he is standing up for us.

Dear @IncomeTaxPune,

The FDA raided Gurunanak Dairy and Sweets shop and suspended its license. They have now gone to court seeking compensation, claiming a loss of ₹8.5 lakh in 34 days.

That means:
₹25,000/day
₹25,000 × 365 = ₹91.25 lakh/year

Let's see how much tax they paid last year.

Dainik Bhaskar journalist went undercover as a laborer in a flour mill in UP and exposed a rotten system that's playing with people's health.

Operators in mills across Agra, Firozabad are mixing stone powder from Rajasthan into atta, increasing their earnings by 70–80 paise per kg i.e. 7k-8k extra per day. These adulterated flour, sold under brands like Maharaja Bhog Atta, is even reaching school mid-day meals. These calcium carbonate can clog intestines and damage the liver and kidneys.

Being in the D2C industry, I'm aware of many brands who do these kinds of things just to save margins and make more money. We keep calling them out, but this looks much bigger.

Government and FSSAI need to act and take control. Consumer health should never be compromised for profit.
