If the leaders of the major AI companies admit that they are losing control of their extremely dangerous technology, it is time for an immediate PAUSE on advanced AI development and a permanent BAN on superintelligence.
In May 2023, I had tweeted CRITICISING #ShahRukhKhan for saying he sleeps only 4 to 5 hours a day, and questioned the idea that success requires sacrificing sleep, food and personal comfort, as mentioned by him in an Aaj Tak interview.
Today, I’m deleting that tweet, taking my words back and offering a public apology for writing it.
Over the last 2 years and especially in the past 6 to 7 months, I’ve been deeply involved in multiple projects across consulting, marketing, Hindi and Marathi film work, along with some personal choices/priorities and responsibilities. In that phase, I realised that I often couldn’t afford more than 5 hours of sleep.
And I realised that Shah Rukh Khan was never asking people to give up sleep recklessly. He was speaking about the reality of pushing beyond comfort, of going the extra mile, especially when you come from a middle class background and are trying to build something meaningful. Some may agree, some may disagree. But I have felt this truth personally.
When you are trying to create something big or do something worthwhile, compromises do happen. At least in my case, sleep was one of them.
My sister was crying over a guy and my dad just looked at her and said “you gotta be tough if you’re gonna be stupid” and I’ve never heard more true words😂
beating children is an indication of low emotional intelligence. if u feel the need to beat ur child, it's bc u don't have the tools to guide them in more effective ways that don't involve violence. i think beating a child is a panic response bc u don't know what else to do
