No….!! Wtff!!
If Meta, Google & OpenAI follow next, where does the world’s most populous nation go?
This is digital colonialism. Time for Bharat’s 3rd independence — AI sovereignty!
🚨 US bans Claude Fable 5 and Mythos for foreigners, citing national security concerns.
Anthropic said it will abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all users. 🙏
India needs its own AI models.
This is big: all access to Mythos and Fable AI models disabled for everyone outside America.
First thoughts:
1. Technology is the ultimate weapon. National sovereignty, national security, all of it is now about technology.
2. Globalization is dead and Bharat must find her own way ahead.
We must keep these two ideas in mind.
What can our government do right now? Ensure that orgs in India embrace smaller models, both Indian and Chinese open source ones. With a bit of effort, we can make them work. Anyway, why pay money to people who don't even want to sell to you?
We must deepen our R&D. Sarvam has been on it and we have been on it but remember that the latest models cost not only huge GPU budgets to train, the GPUs themselves are restricted. So we can't afford the scale of money (of the order of $100+ billion to even get in the game!) and even if we could come up with the money, we can't get all the GPUs. I would not like to ask the government to fund tens of billions of dollars on this anyway - the money has far better uses.
Zoho has been pursuing alternative R&D approaches that are far, far less expensive but by its nature cutting edge R&D takes time and we are patient. I am confident we will get there.
Any remaining people in India who have delusions about globalization should wake up now.
Some foreigners were smoking Ganja near a pool in Supernova Spira Towers, Noida.
Guard told them to not smoke in public place. They ignored him and continued.
In India, the lecture of civic sense is only limited to brown skin. If you are white, you usually get a free pass to do anything.
Deeply shocking to read this official US statement, which contains absolutely no expression of regret or condolence for the loss of innocent Indian lives. How can a “friend” and strategic partner be so deeply insensitive?
Why couldn’t a non-compliant commercial vessel have been stopped using other, non-lethal means? Is it not possible to disable a ship's propulsion or steering without firing missiles targeted to kill civilian crew members?
Practically every merchant ship navigating these crucial waters has Indian crew on board. Are they all considered fair game for US missiles now?
This approach is unacceptable and I hope @DrSJaishankar had said so to @marcorubio.
Jaskirat went through circumcision just to hide his identity. Hamza and aalam used to talk about their past in an empty tea shop. Meanwhile, Alpha Alia Bhatt gets to know about her mission in a fully packed hotel and they made a permanent tattoo for their secret program so that it doesn't remain a secret 😭🙏
Bollywood really hired a dumb director to compete with Aditya Dhar. Sureshot disaster man
