The scary part about Anthorpic's Fable nerf is not that it refuses to answer biology or cryptography. It's that it foreshadows what's coming. A world where a couple companies decide what you can and cannot do. They're building a new ruling class and you're not in it...

THE BEST OF HUMANITY

When Spanish triathlete Diego Méntriga noticed the lead runner went the wrong way before the finish line, he waited for him, so he could take his deserved 3rd place.

“He was in front of me the whole time. He deserved it.” —Méntriga

2-states marriage is awesome, but there's a jackfruit named big North - South India divide between dear husband & I. @cyrilsam Ily.

The repeated #NEET paper leaks are deeply disturbing. Millions of students are being pushed into severe mental stress because of the failure of an over-centralised examination system and the nexus of corrupt interests behind it.

The National Testing Agency has completely lost credibility. The Union Government must take responsibility, conduct a time-bound enquiry, ensure strict punishment for the culprits, and decentralise the examination process by restoring greater responsibility to govt agencies.

Students’ futures cannot be sacrificed for administrative failures.

hm.. a week after PARI's report from Lil Rann of Kutch, AFP has the same story.

Would've been nice if they credited @PARInetwork

I've no proof of course, but I do have 25+ yrs in journalism to know how local reporting seamlessly travels to intl desks

Vinesh Phogat publicly named Brij Bhushan as a harasser.
She pays the price.

India loves its sex offenders and loves punishing women who report. Rape culture capital.

For the first time since Independence, voters have to prove they're voters. To beg for their names to be restored.

Once the desired result is achieved, every deleted voter is at the mercy of the system.

How can the media continue celebrating these hollow election "victories"?
