Final Fantasy 13 is a necessary game to play for alignment researchers. No, I will not elaborate.

Staying on the ball with my work as a software engineer/architect (in spite of having my own business) requires yes: talking about AI. Talking about The Good and The Bad. Being rational about it. But marketing my work means inviting in the culture war commentary layer over AI...

The underlying point: from bridges to defence pacts to ceasefires the word of the United States government counts for nothing. You cannot bargain with these people except through corruption

Left wing and progressive notions of solidarity doesn’t actually include Indians. We are too complicated as a people. No easy narrative of oppressor <> oppressed categories to filter through.

I have engaged in running defense for all sorts of groups who needed defending, but I hear the silence loud and clear when it’s Indians on the chopping block.

You expect anti-Indian racism from the right. It’s in their nature to be racist. What’s funny is how the left actually doesn’t care about it. They’re just silent. Do a search on BlueSky about Indians or South Asian and it’s only Desis speaking up about it. We have no “allies”

emet-selch 🍁 @chaimagicks.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
What I find fascinating about racism against Indians is how it persists all sorts of colonial humiliation rituals left or right. The right will say we worship demons, but the left will consistently bring up “caste system“, for example, while ignoring the role of the British in ossifying it.

emet-selch 🍁 @chaimagicks.bsky.social · 20/04/2026
Crazy how given the uptick in anti-Indian racism, there isn’t an army of progressives lining up to defend us and give their lip service about how racism is bad (it’s still bad, fyi). Their silence is deafening.

Indian urbanism solved walkability (must drive at Toronto residential zone speeds because the roads are filled with people, scooters, and cyclists). Sidewalks are a psyop by General Motors. They are the shadow of vehicular imperialism over public space.
