South Delhi has Singapore food and housing prices but Mogadishu quality of life.
Singapore in the sheets, Mogadishu in the streets.
I see Delhi has Ayurvedic clinics for autism, ADHD, Down's syndrome. As if neurodivergent brain chemistry isn't problematic enough...
You know you are in Delhi when your food delivery app offers free tickets for a Yo Yo Honey Singh concert. 🤢
I want to visit Mughal Gardens (now known as Amrit Vatika) in the Presidential residence in New Delhi. But one needs to schedule a visit and provide a phone number verified by an OTP. Sigh.
Flew premium economy on Air India after almost a decade. My seat was dusty. My suitcase came back with lots of dirt on it. Meh experience. Meh food. Meh everything. The only pluses were that I got a charging point for my phone and I chatted with one cute DILF seated near me.
Free ambulance service on a grocery delivery app in #Delhi. Because quick-commerce deliveries really happen faster than emergency medical services.
Loved this gesture from the Hilton in Bangalore today.
Absolutely loved the exhibits called Ragi.net and Atantraru. I couldn't photograph the former because of its elevation and the ambient lighting. The latter (rightmost photo) is from #Mysore.
Science Gallery in #Bengaluru. The current theme named "Calorie" is about food. My photos won't do justice to the place. Go visit. It's an amazing place.

I watched a monodrama yesterday. The performance and writing left me speechless. I'm still trying to return to terra firma. Good art and writing elevates the audience.
More from Jagriti Theatre, #Bengaluru. I shall post all these on the Wikimedia Commons too.
Know thy station. #Bengaluru
Jagriti Theatre in #Whitefield has art work by an autistic artist. #Bengaluru
Go to hell

We should never ever forget why they did it

AI has become like table salt in food. Put it wherever or claim that you have put it. 🤦🏽♀️

A new lawsuit alleges Google’s chatbot sent a Florida man on missions to find an android body it could inhabit. When that failed, it set a suicide countdown clock for him. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/gemi...

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.
This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.
Please spread the word.

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

In the argot of Bombay, where I was raised, the word 'vasool'* means 'to recover.' It is used with reference to expenditure. These are my recommendations for how to vasool time, money, effort, and participation in an AI Summit.
*Not to be confused with 'vasooli,' which is slang for 'extortion.' 😱
While searching for Airbnbs, I found one named "Zamindaar's abode". Zamindaars were a feudal, exploitative, land-owning class of yore. India legally abolished the zamindaari system after the colonial British left. But here we are.
I vaguely remember seeing a "Burra Sahib's bungalow" somewhere.
In today's episode of AI-enabled sh*tf**kery: A text from my AirBnB host.
The listing shows there are two beds although there is only one. So, I ended up assuming the place is bigger than it is. And invited friends over. Then, I had to backtrack because there was not enough room for everyone.
Generative AI, automated abusive Mechanical Turk edition - the ongoing exploitation of low waged disadvantaged workers in the global south for data classification and moderation gives the lie to generative AI being of any ethical use at all
my other takeaway is that EdTech and technology in general has been a boon for non-traditional students. And runaway AI, left unchecked, could dilute the tech they use to succeed and learn
"The public discourse around #Manipur has swayed unpredictably. Neither mode ever managed to capture the true scale, complexity, or human cost of what was unfolding on the ground."
