I fact-checked India's 2014 vs 2026 infrastructure numbers, added some more important parameters that were missed and an extremely important data point, the target.

Because some of this growth would have happened anyway. The question is whether India beat, met, or missed its own or global benchmarks.

So, I have compiled 48 parameters in total and every number is from PIB, IBEF, the Economic Survey and ministry dashboards.

Wherever the government did not set explicit targets, I benchmarked it against China.

Some targets beaten. Some missed. Every data point is verified.

Full data below.

@Noahpinion It's around 4-10% a year :/

Mira Murati says the outcome of frontier AI is not predestined:

"Predicting a dystopia or a utopia, to me, feels very simplified because the truth is we actually have a lot of agency in how we build this technology, in the tools that we're building, how we're deploying it."

"There are certainly those risks. We all understand the potential for greatness that comes with building frontier AI systems, and that's why we're working on them."

"Where I might disagree or take a different path is that I think we have a lot of agency. This period of time where both humans and AI systems have their hands on the wheel, and we can collaborate, it's a very important time to get right."

Society collapses because of AI market manipulation, called it.

i will say i was pretty surprised at how little hesitation anyone had before immediately jumping to build RSI the moment it seemed possible

i'm not a foomer, but hey, i thought this was what everyone was really worried about? right?

it's truly the yudkowsky 'torment nexus' era

@Rahul_J_Mathur I disagree it's an oversimplification. Superapps don't exist because our users are not as sophisticated from a UI perspective to handle the level of complexity that superapps require.

@blader Well then shouldn't we dedicate most of himanotys effort to AI safety immediately

BREAKING NEWS: according to CloudFlare Radar Data, Agentic traffic has SURPASSED human traffic across the worldwide internet for HTML webpages.

OpenAI just wrote: "We also see early signs of recursive self-improvement (RSI) in today’s systems: where AI development is itself accelerated by AI.

We expect this to increase competitive pressures among developers and nations, and create governance challenges that existing institutions are not equipped to address.

As RSI emerges, societies will need ways to shape the trajectory of AI development and ensure that it serves human interests."

The vibe has changed, something is happening.

Reve 2.0 has landed #2 in the Text-to-Image Arena!

Scoring 1280, this puts the latest model above Nano Banana 2, MAI-Image-2.5, and GPT-Image-1.5-High Fidelity. This is a +125pt improvement over Reve v1.5.

Congratulations to the @reve team on this major milestone!

@signulll Yeah but it's intuitive to pick between voice and GUI when needed. Both will exist. People will naturally pick which is faster, depending on the use case.

Anthropic has confidentially submitted a draft S-1 registration statement to the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Pending completion of SEC review, this gives us the option to pursue an initial public offering.

Hard to believe I’m even writing this.

Meteorological summer hasn’t even begun, yet Paris, France has already logged more days above 32°C (89.6°F) than its annual average.
