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.
A 21-year-old student in India’s Madhya Pradesh, popularly known as ‘Bittu Tabahi’, has single-handedly cleaned up a trash-filled river.
Despite ridicule, health risks and limited resources, his efforts have transformed the waterway and prompted government action.
At least 25 murder, rape accused whom Delhi Police software caught at Jantar Mantar were in jail, records show.

'आम जनमत पार्टी' नाम की फर्जी पार्टी को 2024 के लोकसभा चुनाव में 620 करोड़ रुपए का चंदा मिला.
इस पार्टी ने चुनाव में सिर्फ 1 कैंडिडेट उतारा. पार्टी की अध्यक्ष BJP की नेता थीं. पार्टी का ऑफिस गुजरात में है.
���सी तरह 2024 में 6 फर्जी पार्टियों को कुल 1700 करोड़ का चंदा मिला जो कि 5 राष्ट्रीय पार्टियों को मिले चंदे से ज्यादा है. ये 6 फर्जी पार्टियों भी गुजरात की हैं.
आप कुछ समझ पा रहे हैं?
पूरे देश से जो पैसा लूटा जा रहा है, वो इस तरह गुजरात में ठिकाने लगाया जा रहा है.
300 Palestinians have died waiting for medical evacuations since the “ceasefire” went into effect last October, Gaza’s Health Ministry announced, with 20,000 patients desperately waiting for authorization but only around 2,000 being allowed to cross so far by Israel.
#EditorSPeek: The BJP’s new “Dimagi Naxal” campaign has drawn criticism for branding journalists, academics and public figures as “intellectual Naxals”. Critics say the campaign risks labelling dissent and criticism as support for Naxalism without evidence.
This is called aestheticization of politics.
The aestheticization of politics is a concept introduced by Walter Benjamin in his 1935 essay, The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
He argued that fascism responds to the economic demands & problems of the masses by turning politics into a theatrical spectacle.
This gives people a false sense of expression while keeping property and power structures untouched.
The Core Mechanics of Aestheticized Politics Theatrical Spectacle are as under :
(a) Politics becomes a matter of grandiose parades, rallies, and media rituals rather than actual democratic power.Preserving Property: Regimes allow the working class to feel heard and unified, but protect existing class and economic property relations.
(b) Self-Alienation: People are reduced to viewing their own destruction and subjugation as high aesthetic pleasure.

IMPORTANT: A former colleague who has tracked the police for years sent this apt and very well written note on the July 20 violence . Pl read it carefully one and all (especially some of our top cops who still retain a commitment and integrity to the uniform)
Read here:
Full sympathies with families and children of cops as no one should be made to see the suffering of their loved ones. But this isn’t an argument about whether the protesters did this or not. The idea of parading the families of injured Delhi Police officers is a dishonourable attempt to create an emotional counter-narrative and is more aimed at deflecting systemic accountability for use of force by the state and hence shifts the focus from institutional actions to individual suffering.
Comparing state-backed police force's injuries with injured students ends up creating a false moral equivalence, because the police hold state authority and crowd-control tools. Remember, violence is always a state monopoly in legal terms. Their attempts distract everyone from the core issue - of police misconduct and disproportionate use of force. In this battle of my emotion versus your emotion, the larger picture should never be lost in any civilised society.🙏
There is so much misinformation being spread about what’s actually happening in Spain:
1) Migrants are not swimming or taking boats to Spain’s mainland. Ceuta is a Spanish enclave on Morocco’s northern coast.
2) This is a coordinated effort by Morocco’s government, seen in the video below transporting migrants in trucks to Ceuta.
Morocco’s government aligns with Israel and the US, so these efforts most likely aim to punish Spain for supporting Palestine and opposing the US and Israel’s war against Iran.
Modi ji becomes the first PM whose govt sucessfully hounded and coerced a 15-year-old Ruchika Singh into apologising for abusing him.
Same govt honors Riddhima Sharma for abusing Gandhi.
It has No problem when someone called mothers,sisters as Jersey cow, 50 cr girl friend 🤦
Ruchika Singh vs Riddhima Sharma..
One abused PM Modi, There is an FIR against her. She is being discussed on Multiple Television Anchors..
Another, Abused Mahatma Gandhi, She was invited to several programs where Modi was giving speeches, has met several Top BJP leaders despite her abuses to Mahatma Gandhi and to Minorities.
💢 President Donald Trump clarifies that Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s campaign to “bring the International Criminal Court to heel” is intended to protect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and others facing ICC scrutiny.
Speaking at Camp David, Rubio said: “The International Criminal Court has made themselves illegitimate because they claim that even if you’re not a member of that court, we can come after you… They’re very arrogant. So we’ve now begun an effort to really try to bring them to heel.”
Trump interjected to make Rubio’s objective clear: “He’s trying to defend Bibi and various other people.”
The U.S. President said Rubio’s campaign against the ICC has nothing to do with protecting him.
⚡️NEW from @DropSiteNews: Israel Is Paying Millions to Train AI Chatbots How to Talk About Gaza. It's Working.
Former Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale is overseeing an operation posting hundreds of blog posts on behalf of Israel, with the goal of infiltrating artificial intelligence.

"The greatest claim of our soon-to-be-released Ramayana , with its humongous budget, is that the entire crew stayed vegetarian during the shoot. Not the writing. Not the storytelling. Not the creativity to capture the soul of the story. The catering! This is a real civilisational question, achieved without a single sea raider. Marble temples & manicured lawns. But no soul in sight."
