@TheJaggi @VishnuNDTV Boss. Your govt. cant even conduct exams. And you now want to transform education and learning?! As they say in Tamil "kundi kazhuva thanni Illa. Kulikadarku kutralam kekutha?"

5/ the dominant life forms will still torture you to extract every little advantage they can. So for allya aliens out there. Earth is only Mostly harmless, so make sure you land your craft in the right hemisphere. At this point may I ask a qn. "How ducked up is the world?"

1/ Ok. So I watched @disclosureday . The premise of the movie is that for the last 75 years or so there have been a bunch of non-humans who have been killed, captured, tortured and generally faced gross barbarism from the US govt and its allies. Even though the

4/ Emily blunt exhorts us all to listen. Any parallels to what's going on in the world is purely, absolutely coincidental. And ofc if you are an alien please know that there are shady parts of this world where it doesn't matter if you crossed interstellar space

Bills Are Named to Deceive You:

“Kids Act” is a trojan horse for internet censorship, mass surveillance & Digital IDs.

“Cares Act” had little care for people & lots of care for billionaires.

“Affordable Care Act” is unaffordable & a giveaway to for-profit insurance companies.

Why indeed?

the entire world has seen a sudden influx of Indians in the last 10 years

really remarkable. i don't think i've yet read a good explainer. everybody focuses on receiving-country dynamics.

why did south asia's emigration rate suddenly go BOOM after 2015?

@nutanc Heh! All of this started with AI labs positioning their frontier models as a replacement of the human species, pan galactic intelligence and bs like that. They talked up their features to inflate their market cap and walked right into a trap of their own.

Game theory from here is super interesting:

Original Mags (Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta) now have a serious non-zero opportunity to tank the frontier labs.

Go to the government, kneecap the labs’ motion of putting the latest models out in the wild, become the trusted gatekeeper between the labs and the public at large (including internationally) by having the labs go through their clouds (AWS, GCP, Azure) and implement strict KYC to seal the deal.

The frontier labs should have seen this coming years ago and implemented a robust KYC for just this moment. The fact they didn’t is kind of concerning.

Why did they not do it?

Best guess is because it would have changed the run-rate revenues (downward) which would have then changed funding dynamics - lower valuations, more dilution, less secondary.

A valuation reset may happen now anyways, except the labs may end up with less control and more restrictions at the end of it. At the same time, everyone is already clamoring about token prices of the old models from the labs anyways…

This couldn’t be a better setup for open source and neoclouds. Big question is can they meet the moment?

There are too few of them and their progress seems sporadic at best.

Nitin Gadkari ji says "A new AI-driven toll system will capture photos of number plates & deduct toll amount directly from bank accounts".

So why can’t we use same technology to capture photos of potholes & deduct salaries of govt employees?

Accountability can't be one sided!

[ram @rameshananth]

@kirukukiruku This was true 8 years back too. Why the detour towards RFID in the middle? Why not standardize plates in the 1st place? All the arguments made for RFID are now no longer valid?

[ram @rameshananth]

@vinayaravind @Aakar__Patel There are those today, too, who speak of the "protection" of the country. Of "survival". The answer to that is: *survival as what*? A country isn't a rock. And it isn't an extension of one's self. *It's what it stands for, when standing for something is the most difficult!*
