I think the average person doesn't hate AI (for work), they just hate the social contract that comes with it. It's why Sam Altman always talks about Universal Basic Income.

In a democracy, accountability requires a direct line between policy failure and political consequence. That line, in contemporary India, has been severed. It has been cut by weaponising nationalism, writes Vishal R Choradiya. scroll.in/article/1093...

A couple things… The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war. It is a war of choice. It is warfare without conscious. It was unprovoked. And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

This is also a story about caste! Hindutva apologists are far more likely to buy into this kind of MAGA-adjacent eugenicist horseshit if they are also caste supremacists! (Special fuck you to Gavin Newsom for vetoing the bill that would have banned caste discrimination in California.)

I just learned today that Kerala has now started doing Kumbh, a kind of ritualistic festival for the religious majority to show their power by gathering all fanatics at one place, bathing and polluting the rivers, exchanging diseases, and making loud noises. srsly, have we gone completely bonkers?

Hyderabad is often the digital testing ground for dystopian technostate policies. here we have the police department which routinely runs counterinsurgency programs in the city adopting openAI tech
tweet from @digitaldutta that reads 
The Hyderabad Police are now using OpenAI to automatically allocates police duty and issue official letters generated by OpenAI.

He is quoting a tweet from VC Sajjanar the commisioner of police, already under investigation from the supreme court for his role in the extrajudicial murder of three suspects in a sexual assault case that details the scheme

Applying for jobs is a humiliation ritual, no one can change my mind. I refuse to write cover letters. I refuse to give unnecessary information that is not related to the job. Does that put me at a disadvantage? Obviously. But why do companies need PAN detail when they wont share CTC detail?

I was in Hi-tech City, #Hyderabad to attend a conference last month, and stayed in an Airbnb flat in a gated apartment complex. Large, securitised business districts are aplenty, so are gated apartments. Thoughts from the experience of visiting them: aarohini.medium.com/of-business-... #urbanism

A cool study would be finding every paper posted on ArXiv as a "pre-print", and then finding out how many actually end up being published in peer-reviewed papers (particularly the most headline-grabbing ones)

Very few narratives piss me off as much as the whole "let's give marginalised people LLM assistants for inclusion". 

Inclusion does not mean giving marginalised people shittier versions of a thing: Sure you can give kids from poorer backgrounds an LLM to "learn" but what you are saying is that poor people are not worth having trustworthy sources of information. When you say that older or lonely people can talk to chatbots to feel less alone you are saying that some people are not worth a social life. 

This is a deeply inhumane perspective that goes actively against the ideas and ideals of inclusion.
