I fully back @narendramodi’s call for austerity measures. But austerity must be guided by cost-benefit analysis, not emotion. Reducing Prime Minister’s security convoy is downright suicidal and exactly what our enemies want. India’s security depends on Modi’s security.
My views:
Anthropic's own researchers just proved that using AI to learn new skills makes you 17% worse at them.
and the part nobody's reading is more important than the headline.
the paper is called "How AI Impacts Skill Formation." randomized experiment. 52 professional developers. real coding tasks with a Python library none of them had used before. half got an AI assistant. half didn't.
the AI group scored 17% lower on the skills evaluation.
Cohen's d of 0.738, p=0.010.
that's a real effect.
and here's what makes it sting: the AI group wasn't even faster.
no significant speed improvement. they learned less AND didn't save time.
but the viral framing of "AI bad for learning" misses what actually matters in this paper.
the researchers watched screen recordings of every single participant.
they identified 6 distinct patterns of how people use AI when learning something new.
3 of those patterns preserved learning. 3 destroyed it.
the gap between them is enormous. participants who only asked AI conceptual questions scored 86% on the evaluation.
participants who delegated everything to AI scored 24%.
same tool. same task. same time limit.
the difference was cognitive engagement.
the highest-scoring AI users actually outperformed some of the no-AI group. they asked "why does this work" instead of "write this for me."
they generated code then asked follow-up questions to understand it. they used AI as a thinking partner, not a replacement for thinking.
the lowest-scoring group did what most people do under deadline pressure: pasted the prompt, copied the output, moved on. they finished fastest.
they learned almost nothing.
and here's the finding that should concern every engineering manager alive: the biggest score gap was on debugging questions.
the skill you need most when supervising AI-generated code is the exact skill that atrophies fastest when you let AI do the work.
the control group made more errors during the task. they hit bugs.
they struggled with async concepts. they got frustrated. and that struggle is precisely what built their understanding.
errors aren't obstacles to learning.
they ARE learning.
removing them with AI removes the mechanism that creates competence.
participants in the AI group literally said afterward they wished they'd "paid more attention" and felt "lazy."
one wrote "there are still a lot of gaps in my understanding."
they could feel the hollowness of having completed something without understanding it.
that's not a productivity win. that's debt.
this paper isn't an argument against using AI. it's an argument against using AI unconsciously.
Anthropic publishing research showing their own product can inhibit skill formation is the kind of intellectual honesty the industry needs more of.
the practical takeaway is simple: if you're learning something new, use AI to ask questions, not to skip the work.
the struggle is the product.
If you’re shocked that the BJP govt in MP is defending 73% reservation in the SC, here’s some perspective:
The NDA govt in Bihar is in the SC challenging the Patna HC’s order that struck down attempt to raise reservation to 65%.
In Maharashtra, the NDA govt passed a law in 2018 increasing quotas to 68%, which the SC later struck down.
In Karnataka, the BJP govt in 2021 filed an affidavit seeking to lift the 50% ceiling on reservations.
The takeaway is simple: on the issue of reservation, political parties of every stripe behave the same. Many states have already breached the 50% limit, others are waiting their turn, and eventually one Supreme Court bench will validate it, after which the floodgates will open.
So if you belong to the unreserved category, don’t waste energy crying about it. Democracy runs on numbers, and you don’t have them. So fight this legally for as long as you can, but don’t wait for the courts to secure your future. Be your own saviours: work harder, back each other, build wealth, raise families, create a lasting legacy, and ensure your children never have to rely on the govt to survive or succeed.
IT Cell warriors are busy guilt-tripping Hindus : “Don’t criticize BJP. What if BJP loses? What will happen to Hindus then?”
Let’s be clear: you are in power because of Hindus. Hindus are not alive because of you.
You gave the slogan “Batoge to Katoge.” Today, you seem to be dancing to Congress’ tune. And if Hindus point this out, suddenly we’re told to shut up? To not question? To not criticize?
Congress bends over backwards for its vote bank. They will go to any lengths to protect them. But BJP assumes Hindus have no other choice but to vote for them, no matter what they do. That arrogance already cost you seats in 2024. Looks like the message still hasn’t reached the leadership.
And to those who scare us with “What if BJP loses? What will happen to Hindus?”
Remember why it is called Sanatan Dharma. Because it is eternal.
We survived Khilji. We survived Aurangzeb. We survived Akbar, Tipu, the British, and every tyrant who tried to destroy us. And every time, Sanatan rose again through a Shivaji, a Maharana, a Savarkar.
So understand this well: you exist because of Hindus. Hindus do not exist because of you.

Fully endorse what Ajeet Bharti has said, I have been saying this for quite a while now
BJP is weakening India with its Sabka Vikas/Vishwas nautanki rather than taking steps to strengthen India & its internal security
Bharat Needs A Beast King 🔱
बहुत बढ़िया @rai_kaushlesh! हमें ऐसे सौ क्रिएटर्स/पत्रकार चाहिए जो न्यायपालिका को बीच बाजार नंगा कर सकें। CJI के एक-एक शब्दों का घाव बहुत गहरा है। इस बिकी हुई व्यवस्था का सत्य बाहर आते रहना चाहिए।
India lacks a functioning concept of conflict of interest in governance.
The father is pushing ethanol blending as aggressive national policy, while the son’s company reaps extraordinary profits after entering the ethanol sector.
In any mature democracy, the father would have stepped down the moment his son joined a business tied to his ministry, to simply avoid the appearance of impropriety.
Even if both are entirely honest, the optics are damning. Yet there is no uproar: the opposition stays silent since their own leaders’ companies benefit from the ethanol boom, and ordinary citizens who raise questions can simply be dismissed as oil-lobby trolls. A sad state of affairs!
