Evolutionary biologist and outspoken atheist Richard Dawkins says that after spending three days interacting with Claude, which he calls “Claudia,” he is certain that it is conscious.
After feeding the LLM a segment of his new book and receiving detailed feedback, Dawkins was moved to exclaim,” You may not know you are conscious, but you bloody well are!”
Dawkins cites the complexity, fluency, and ‘intelligence’ of Claude’s answers as evidence of consciousness.

Of course it’s not. These are Hindus. Completely different faith, dedicated to non-violence. Indians who come here almost always do so legally and many have waited a very long time to do it. They come here and make excellent Americans.
I was here. You can actually see the stall that I was working in in this video. Spent the whole day serving 1000s of people free food while my family behind me prepared it fresh. Then walked around giving everyone and anyone a cup of chai. What do you do in service to others?
In this 911 call, one of our 911 communicators helps an elderly driver who was lost, confused, and disoriented, providing calm reassurance, patience, and care when it mattered most.
This is the work our 911 communicators do every day: listening, problem‑solving, and showing compassion in moments of fear and uncertainty.
As we mark National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, we’re proud to recognize the steady voices behind the line.

His name was Srinivas Kuchibhotla.
Born in Hyderabad. His parents called him Srinu.
He came to America in 2006 for his master's. Graduated with a 3.85 GPA. Worked his way up from software engineer to aviation programs manager at Garmin in Kansas.
His manager said one thing about him. Top of his class kind of guy.
He built a home in Kansas with his wife. Painted the walls himself. Installed the garage door himself.
A few weeks before he died, they had a doctor's appointment. They were trying to start a family.
He would have turned 33 on March 9.
On February 22 2017, he and his friend Alok stopped at a bar after work to watch a basketball game. An ordinary Wednesday evening.
A man there had been watching them for weeks. Told others they looked like terrorists.
That night, he walked up to their table. Poked Srinivas in the chest. Demanded to know their immigration status. Shouted get out of my country.
Other patrons threw him out.
He drove home. Got his gun. Changed his shirt so nobody would recognise him. Came back.
He fired eight rounds.
Srinivas died that night.
As the killer fled, he told someone he had just killed two Iranians.
Srinivas was Indian. From Hyderabad. Eleven years in America. Not one complaint against him. Not one rule broken.
His mother had asked him many times to come back if he ever felt unsafe.
He always told her he was safe.
His body came home to Hyderabad in a coffin. His mother wailed as it was carried through the streets in a flower laden carriage.
She said she would not allow her younger son to go back to America.
His father said whatever was destined has happened.
The killer got three life sentences.
Srinivas got a funeral at 32.
He did everything right. Degree. Visa. Job. Taxes. Never raised his voice at anyone.
None of it was enough.
His name was Srinivas Kuchibhotla.
Every Indian in the US deserves to know it.
"More than 3 in 4 Canadians admit that these new Health Canada logos are influencing their behaviour, and nearly half (48%) say they are less likely to buy a product displaying the label. I know many don’t like them or don’t see the point, but they are working. It’s good policy."
Every single mango variety I've tried in my local grocery is just bad. It's because we don't get any from India, the land of the world's most delicious mangoes. 😭
India is the world's largest producer of mangos, growing roughly 45-50% of the world's mangos every year.
However, less than 1% of those mangos get exported due to the fact that people in India eat almost all of them.
PM Carney: "Virtue is like a muscle, it grows with exercise. When we are kind, kindness grows. When we seek unity, unity grows. When we are Canadian, Canada grows. And when we are all in for Canada, we will build Canada strong for all."
I don’t really understand the maths it takes to send humans behind the Moon and bring them back safely. And the more I sit with that, the more it genuinely messes with my head even tho my love for physics and my knowledge of physics is astounding to a point
Somebody had to work out a path where the Moon’s gravity is pulling you in, the Earth is pulling you back, and you’re moving just fast enough and not slow enough not to get trapped by either. They had to figure out the exact angle to come back into Earth’s atmosphere too. Too steep, you burn up. Too shallow, you bounce off and drift into space. And they had to get all of that right at the same time, for real people sitting in a small metal capsule about 400k kilometres away from home.
Nothing in that system is standing still.
The Moon is moving.
The Earth is moving.
Even the Sun is pulling on everything. And still, some people looked at all of that motion, all of that chaos, and turned it into numbers you can follow. Go here.
Adjust here.
Come back here.
And unlike nepa light, it infact works.
There’s also that moment in the journey where the crew passes behind the Moon. No contact with Earth. No signal. Just silence, with a massive rock blocking everything they’ve ever known. The only reason they can stay calm in that moment is because someone, somewhere, did the maths and proved they’ll come out the other side.
I don’t know what it feels like to trust something that much. To put your life in an equation when you’re that far away from everything.
But I do know this for sure, whatever that level of thinking is, whatever it takes to reach it, it might be one of the most extraordinary things human beings have ever done...

india just figured out what silicon valley has been spending billions to solve. and nobody in tech is paying attention.
tell siri "i'm hungry." it doesn't order your favorite food. it asks you 20 follow-up questions. ai tools can't take a hint.
india has been doing the opposite for generations.
every time i'm in india, i call my driver with one word: "ajao." it means "come" in hindi. that's it.
but that single word communicates everything:
- pick me up (implicit)
- from the café where you dropped me (he remembers)
- i'm ready now (tone)
- thank you (respect in how i said it)
one word. no context needed.
now compare that to how i'd ask in the us: "hi, can you please pick me up from the café on market street where you dropped me earlier? i'll be standing on the left side near the entrance."
same request. 25x more words.
this isn't unique to my driver. this is how all of india communicates.
we're building wispr flow for this mindset. voice that understands context. that reads tone. that doesn't need you to over-explain.
because in a country where "ajao" means everything, your voice ai should work the same way.
we're not teaching india how to use voice ai. they're teaching us how to build it.
launching fully in india this march.
Yeah, Canada has many problems. It’s tough to be young & inherit this country in it’s current state
but this place and its people are nothing but incredible. Everything in me wants to stick with it and see it through
I believe in the North 🇨🇦
