@lreyzin They will improve at everything, but I do think that communicating results clearly to our peers should be one of the last skills to fall to machines. Communication is very much about theory of mind, and we have an advantage being minds of the same sort.

@KanwalSibal Are you abandoning basic structural logic to farm engagement? or this reflects your reasoning capacity?

[Nikhil George @nikilgeorge]

Many Indians and Pakistanis you meet abroad are thankfully better behaved than this.

Im at the Frankfurt Airport for a 10 hr layover.
I have been traveling around for years but now it feels different.
The hate for India and Indians is at peak and we subconsciously feel every one is hating on us.
It's been 3 hrs now, I noticed a fellow brown colored human being who took a flight with me from Dublin. Humble clothing, unkempt face, a ragged backpack and a faded jacket. Something told me this man was poor. Most ppl were either looking at him with a judgmental look that I hate or avoiding him completely.
I saw him looking at the food menu at different outlets, the cheapest I guess.
My heart ached for him, he could be a hard working brother who hasn't come to terms with spending Euros yet.

I have brought extra food with me. I walked up to him with my parcel of food, I asked, "Aap Dublin se aaye hain?"
He smiled and answered- "Ji."
Then I asked, "Kahan ja rahe hain?"
"Karachi, Paxtaan!' He said, beaming.

I turned around and walked back to my chair.
Jaa mar!!

School education should prepare people to reason about this with little outside help.

[Umed Pratap Singh @umedpratapsingh]

Is 43°C in Europe different than 43°C in India ?

What's so rona dhona about ? Here, temperature even touches 48°C.

@EmergingRoy @AmexIndia Is there a serious quality deficit in Indian managers?

Wow the ensemble star cast at Anthropic gets bigger.

[Chad Jones @ChadJonesEcon]

Some news: As of June 30, I'll be on leave from Stanford at Anthropic. I'm joining the Anthropic Institute, where I'll continue my research on AI and our economic future and give seminars and talks as always. 1/3

@vdsatheesan It would be wise to not weaponise CAG reports; it has an accounting perspective and if often incompetent. A congress leader should know better.

[Nikhil George @nikilgeorge]

Comments made in public events moderated by professional anchors posing low res. questions is not be a criteria to assess expertise.

[Sunit Arora @sunitarora]

Nandan Nilekani's suggested focus on India building AI applications over its own LLM Models should alone disqualify him from a key role in AI...

Many takeaways from this top class piece on AI sovereignty by @nixxin

@ShivaK99221339 @atullondhe Modern day Marie Antoinettes would do well to learn from history.

[Nikhil George @nikilgeorge]

@ARUNTHEMIND Dude, come up with an example of what is confidential data involved in preparing this?

[Nikhil George @nikilgeorge]

@munshi00007 @RishiJoeSanu @americakaran Nah; Thrissur elite has moved out to do big things rather than doing complex things from there. It is the elite who bring ideas and coordination.

[Nikhil George @nikilgeorge]

nice try after a rank stupid tweet

[vikram @yammvik]

Want to make this clear.

I'm not playing down IITs, but every great mathematician/scientist of note in the last century were NOT from IITs

IITs serve as talent ID,its not a hub for technological or pure science innovations

Maybe IITans burn out? Maybe they choose $$$? I donno

[Nikhil George @nikilgeorge]

@americakaran do you know Kerala state has had full time staffers on high speed rail projects for at least 13-14 years and this has never got off the drawing board?

[Nikhil George @nikilgeorge]

don't preach stupidity

[Prateekaaryan 𝕏 @AaryanPrateekX]

After studying for 3 years on Indian taxpayers’ money, he would leave this country.

Introduce a mandatory 3-year bond in IITs, requiring graduates to work for the Indian government in research and technology organizations such as DRDO and ISRO before leaving India. Too many talented IIT-ians move to the USA and Europe to work for hedge funds, quant firms, and private corporations instead of contributing to India’s technological and scientific development.

@wolfghostninja @samzsays @ShashiTharoor this is like telling people you lack gravitas

How to make a bad situation worse

[Chirag @chirag]

Whoever is running this handle.

Please. Just buy a 200 USD Claude account and point it at the servers and ask it do an audit.

And then ask it to fix it.

Most of your issues will be resolved in this pass.

[Nikhil George @nikilgeorge]

@RishiJoeSanu the whole HSR talk is waste of time; till spelling out ways to find resources

[Nikhil George @nikilgeorge]

@RishiJoeSanu Other than getting some out of turn money from the union kitty there is no great benefit of an AIIMS in Kerala. An imaginative GoK should negotiate to fund centers of excellence in existing hospitals.

[Nikhil George @nikilgeorge]

@RishiJoeSanu A large share of benefit from high ed is signalling; but progress is intertwined with ideas. Not just ideas in science and technology but also about institutions. Higher ed is a lossy preparatory phase to engage with creative ideas.

[Nikhil George @nikilgeorge]

@americakaran There should be a difference between ideas and wishful thinking; many champions of Silverline could not distinguish between the two.
