India’s Largest Paramilitary Hires US Lobbyists to Influence Congress US firm Squire Patton Boggs lobbied lawmakers on behalf of a Hindu nationalist group linked to violence against Muslims.

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, India’s largest Hindu far-right organization, initiated a well-funded lobbying effort in the U.S. earlier this year. Its followers have been accused of targeting Muslims and other minorities with discrimination, harassment, and violence.

Screenshot of text messages with a spammy credit card company in India. I replied STOP to the first message and got an automated response saying "sorry to see you leave, we respect your privacy..." blah blah blah and then I get the exact same credit card message two days later

So much respect for my privacy...

How are we close to "artificial general intelligence" when we haven't even solved the spam/scam problems that came with the internet for "digital marketing".

Let me guess, this is not a problem but a desired feature and AGI will only innovate on it.

Oh no there is a "conflict" happening..

I know that many don't want to hear this but we've been moving towards this current state of affairs over the past 65 years. And it's really been a bipartisan project. The expansion of the carceral state is the fuel for fascism. Folks have been trying to make this case for a long time.

#Thread India launched an attack on several sites in Pakistan as retaliation for the killings of 26 civilians in Kashmir last month, Pakistan claims to be responding to these attacks. However, #misinformation is being shared on SM with old content

India is bombing Pakistan. UAE is bombing Sudan...and that's just the beginning. The whole world has watched Israel get away with pissing on the Geneva Convention for 18 months straight, only a fool would assume this won't inspire other genocidal nations.

What's the evidence exactly?? Do you have photos of militants, weoponry, ammunitions? Are the militants who killed civilians on 22nd there??

How are we always okay with this bullshit every time a nation wants a war??

What the hell are we supposed to do with this information?? Will it help deescalate the two nuclear armed militaries?

Mainstream media, even the so called non Godi media, has no moral compass whatsoever. We need to stop the war not analyze weapons of mass destruction.

Two years ago, a friend passed away. It's a kind of grief I have not known.

Nate said its app’s users could buy from any e-commerce site with a single click, thanks to AI. In reality, however, Nate relied heavily on hundreds of human contractors in a call center in the Philippines to manually complete those purchases, the DOJ’s Southern District of New York alleges. Saniger raised millions in venture funding by claiming that Nate was able to transact online “without human intervention,” except for edge cases where the AI failed to complete a transaction. But despite Nate acquiring some AI technology and hiring data scientists, its app’s actual automation rate was effectively 0%, the DOJ claims.

tbh, the AI industry is full of fraud, and fraudsters like this

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history.

They aren't even bothering to hide it.

True, and it seems like a bubble. They fund and make these products themselves, talk about it in a certain way, applaud people who talk about it the same way, call each other smart... And of course make a lot of money out of it

I really can't understand how even the smartest people around me are just going along with this..

* Many upper caste Indians love this book. Probably a majority of literate people in India have read it

It's time for another exciting round of "CEO said a thing!" journalism, where a tech CEO says a thing, then the press trips over itself to repeat that thing largely devoid of critical thinking or historical context
