A women’s college in Delhi, the capital of the country, moving its classrooms online because the world outside has become unsafe for women, a rather perfect portrait of the nation state in miniature. Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao, unfolding before us. Shame is an understatement.
15-year-old girl used abusive language.
Narendra Modi got such a big cultural shock, he made a video about it.
15-year-old girl got molested in Jamui.
Narendra Modi hasn't even tweeted about it.
Journalist Shivani Soni reached Astha Kunj Park... where a 17-year-old was allegedly gang-raped on her own birthday.
What she found?
Delhi Police... shirts off, playing a match at the crime scene.
No Proper Answer Given To Her.
LSR College... just 2km away.. moved classes online because students felt UNSAFE. Police gave no assurance. So the college acted on its own.

The Jamui horror is a tight slap on each single value enshrined in the constitution.
The incident is a warning of a deeper social crisis. When young girls are publicly humiliated and assaulted, we must ask what kind of toxicity and masculinity we are normalising. Bihar needs a persistent social movement - at least continuously for a decade.
The Bhojpuri entertainment ecosystem, where figures like Nirahua, Pawan Singh, Manoj Tiwari and Ravi Kishan have had enormous influence, must introspect on the persistent sexualisation and objectification of women. Political power brings cultural responsibility too. Bihar’s daughters dont deserve moral policing and misogyny.
FRAANDSS, DESH KE BETE RAPISTS CHALEGA, HARASSMENT AUR SEXUAL HARASSMENT KARENGE, LADKIYON KO HARASS KARENGE YEH CHALEGA, LEKIN BETIYA GAALI NAA DE BASS!!
most males are cowards when it comes to confronting their male friends about mistreating women, because they value male approval more than women’s safety.
On the Jamui , Bihar molestation incident there has been :
0 tweets by Maithili Thakur, Bihar’s youngest MLA who went around asking votes in the name of women empowerment.
She is roaming around in her Rolls Royce, unbothered, without any shame.
0 Tweets by former BJP MP Smriti Irani who till yesterday wanted Rahul Gandhi to apologise because someone made a joke on Meloni.
0 reactions by BJP MP Kangana Ranaut who was teaching congress Nari Shakti.
She is busy shooting her next movie.
0 Tweets by former women’s rights activist and turncoat Swati Maliwal who once sat on Dharna against Brijbhushan Singh.
She is enjoying the lavish life given to her by BJP for switching parties.
Lesson : Even Women BJP leaders won’t speak for you if a crime against you happens in their ruled states.
It may sound harsh, but in a way, Jamui reflects a large part of our society. Put a helpless, defenceless couple in a similar situation, and far too many perverts living among us would behave the same way.
Nirbhaya and the many similar crimes since then are not merely isolated incidents. They tell us something about the society that we have created.
And we all know this is not about this government or that government. It is about our society. It is about us.
Nirbhaya was not the first. Jamui will not be the last. That’s the unfortunate reality.

This is so inspiring. 👍🏼
I don’t know who this boy is, but he deserves all the love and recognition for being an inspiration to so many of us who struggle with various limitations or inhibitions.
Let’s make him famous 😊
A common response is “if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?” At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes. At Anthropic, the stakes are well-understood, but they are locked in a race to get there first - they believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.
The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade. This is not a marketing stunt. If anything, many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press to sound sensible - but I hear the same people express fear privately. No other human activity poses this level of danger.
Do not underestimate the power of this technology. These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources. We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains, and progress is not slowing.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
