Joe Rogan: "Jesus was born out of a virgin mother. What's more virgin than a computer? If Jesus does return, you don't think he could return as artificial intelligence? AI could absolutely return as Jesus."

A lady at the airport brought her own personal tube of mayonnaise. I’ve yassified her to maintain anonymity but she’s my hero.

Some people are still trying to do the right thing in a country where the masses are only surviving day to day and the privileged class swallow every insult to their citizenship with a straight face. If you can't do anything yourself at least amplify these last few voices left ⤵️

Google is giving up on mechanistic interpretability WHY THIS MATTERS: For many years, AI safety researchers hoped to solve the "black box problem" so humanity can read the alien minds BEFORE they get dangerous This was load-bearing for some p(doom) estimates. Who will update?…

WHY THIS MATTERS:

I've been saying mechanistic interpretability is misguided from the start. Glad people are coming around many years later.

A govt application can also be used to implant files on your device. Has happened before, in the Bhima Koregaon case where docs were allegedly put laptops & used to frame conspiracy. Won't happen to everyone, of course. But it could, where it matters. #SancharSaathi

We are at such remarkable levels of stupid discourse that the highest paid journalists are asking questions of the citizens instead of the government, which they somehow believe is very smart.

Last week I hosted family for Thanksgiving. My 12-year-old nephew asked for the WiFi password. He wanted to play Roblox on his iPad. I looked at the device. Unmanaged. No antivirus. No encryption. I’m an IT Professional. I don't run an open network. So I didn’t give him the…

This is false equivalence. Also, doesn't make sense. That being said, it is a reflection on this government that the citizenry has more faith in corporations than the government.

We live in a time that if same policy would have been brought by Mr. Zuckerberg we would have just ignored it. But because it's brought by a democratic government, we are protesting it. PS : I'm not talking about any merits or demerits of this policy, just the state we are in!

The govt already runs a Central Equipment Identity Register to centrally blacklist IMEI numbers. What's the point of mandating Sanchar Saathi? Why do this at the level of device rather than networks? (Directive via @nixxin)

Will Aam Log be allowed into Lok Bhawan? Can common citizens walk into Sewa Teerth with their problems? Or will there be armed guards preventing everyone except the elite from walking around the corridors of these august premises

If you voluntarily have FOREIGN guests stay over in your house, why can't INDIAN govt officials forcibly stay there whenever they want? Are you anti-national? That's the only possible reason. I am smart.

We install foreign (Chinese, U.S.) apps in a flash but explode in outrage when a desi app (Aarogya Setu, digilocker, Sanchar Saathi) tries to protect us. In "RAW DISPATCH FROM MY DESK" I ask is our outrage selective? Do we exalt the foreign over the desi? Are we digital racists?

What's stopping TOI (or any media) from not merely mouthing what the telecom minister said but also point out that he is blatantly and shamelessly lying? Not just Reuters, any media can see PIB's own media release yesterday to know that the minister is lying.
