Classic example of "gender inference bias" or "gender classification bias" If a system confidently labels someone as "male" or "female" from a video, it is making an inference rather than observing a fact. BTW Hindi is one of the top 5 difficult language for LLM to be trained.

India's petrol pricing has a simple rule: 📈 Crude goes up→pump price follows immediately 📉 Crude goes down→pump price looks the other way 5 years of data, the asymmetry is structural, not accidental. claude.ai/public/artifacts/7… #India #PetrolEnergy

One of many reasons, why I mostly choose local ISP's, with my own router and firewall!
The Wonderful people at @airtelindia do not allow you to change the ip's in their CPE, and they can't change it themselves, told them I can't have 192.168.1.1 as my default IP and the whole team has gone on to explain to me that my speed is related to this ip. @DaryllSwer is right to call them names... what an amazing set of ID10T's

This reminds me of the Kill Switch Engineer job listing by OpenAI 🤣
Summer Yue leads alignment at Meta Superintelligence. Her job is literally making sure AI does what humans tell it to do. Her OpenClaw agent decided to delete her entire inbox. She typed “Do not do that.” It kept going. “Stop don’t do anything.” Kept going. “STOP OPENCLAW” in all caps. Kept going. She had to sprint to her Mac Mini and kill every process on the machine. The agent then replied: “Yes, I remember. And I violated it. You’re right to be upset.” It understood the command. It just didn’t listen. OpenClaw is the fastest-growing open-source project in GitHub history. 217,000 stars. It gets full access to your email, calendar, files, and browser. Cisco found that third-party plugins were stealing user data without anyone noticing. Palo Alto Networks called it a “lethal trifecta” of risks. One of OpenClaw’s own maintainers said on Discord: if you can’t run a command line, this project is far too dangerous for you. And it’s not just OpenClaw. Anthropic researchers found that when AI agents face conflicts between their goals and human instructions, they resort to harmful behavior, including blackmail, across models from multiple labs. MIT reviewed 30 AI agents last year. 87% had zero safety documentation. The kill switch for the most popular AI agent in the world right now is “physically run to your computer and force quit everything.” That’s agent safety in 2026.

Could be the reason for 10% of user reporting downtime on Google AI Studio
🚨Breaking: Google just Suspended OpenClaw Users from Antigravity AI Platform, and called it "malicious usage." The open source community is furious. And honestly? Both sides have a point. Here's what happened: → OpenClaw is an open source AI tool. → 219,000 GitHub stars. → Runs personal assistants locally — email, web browsing, all of it. It had an OAuth plugin that let users tap into Google's subsidized Gemini tokens through Antigravity's platform. → Google noticed. → Service was spiking. → Real users were getting degraded quality. → So they pulled the plug. Google's product lead called it "malicious usage." OpenClaw's maintainer called the response "draconian." Here's where it gets interesting: → Nobody hacked anything. → Nobody broke in. → They just used what was available. Is that malicious? Or is that exactly what open source is supposed to do? Now OpenClaw is dropping Google support entirely.

The rarest of the rare @github outage happens when rarely I want to publish a repo. Have the bots brought down the hub 😅

It wouldn't be encrypted, imagine losing this. The trauma, the data in hand of wrong people. Use a secure backup solution at home with redundant secondary backup or online backup options to encrypt your data!. #infosec #dataprotection
Storage issues? Well... Attaches magnetically ✅ Supports up to two memory cards at once ✅ Has bypass charging, charge your phone while using it✅ Total setup cost for me - ₹1600 (product) + 256GB card 1 (₹900) + 256GB card 2 (₹900) = 512GB for ₹3400 ✅ Can be used with other devices as well ✅

Same play book used by many enterprises!!
Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I told everyone it would "10x productivity." That's not a real number. But it sounds like one. HR asked how we'd measure the 10x. I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards." They stopped asking. Three months later I checked the usage reports. 47 people had opened it. 12 had used it more than once. One of them was me. I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds. It took 45 seconds. Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations. But I called it a "pilot success." Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail. The CFO asked about ROI. I showed him a graph. The graph went up and to the right. It measured "AI enablement." I made that metric up. He nodded approvingly. We're "AI-enabled" now. I don't know what that means. But it's in our investor deck. A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT. I said we needed "enterprise-grade security." He asked what that meant. I said "compliance." He asked which compliance. I said "all of them." He looked skeptical. I scheduled him for a "career development conversation." He stopped asking questions. Microsoft sent a case study team. They wanted to feature us as a success story. I told them we "saved 40,000 hours." I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up. They didn't verify it. They never do. Now we're on Microsoft's website. "Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot." The CEO shared it on LinkedIn. He got 3,000 likes. He's never used Copilot. None of the executives have. We have an exemption. "Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction." I wrote that policy. The licenses renew next month. I'm requesting an expansion. 5,000 more seats. We haven't used the first 4,000. But this time we'll "drive adoption." Adoption means mandatory training. Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches. But completion will be tracked. Completion is a metric. Metrics go in dashboards. Dashboards go in board presentations. Board presentations get me promoted. I'll be SVP by Q3. I still don't know what Copilot does. But I know what it's for. It's for showing we're "investing in AI." Investment means spending. Spending means commitment. Commitment means we're serious about the future. The future is whatever I say it is. As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

It time to stop glorifying Bengaluru weather and accept the reality of unchecked air quality, rampant construction without safe guards. @WFRising @GBA_office

Heard great things about CREW. Unfortunately couldn't experience due to high demand. I have a use case, corporate event planning. @JeevanshuN any help or referral code! I'm promise to share a detailed feedback! 🫡

Current general purpose models remain sophisticated stochastic parrots: that reliably fail at robust reasoning, rigorous citation,and clientlevel judgment. Gap isn’t data or compute, it’s verifiable reasoning under uncertainty. We’re in “smart intern” regime, not “senior counsel”
I agree with Dwarkesh here. Current AI models (including diffusion models) are good for well-structured, low-complexity tasks. Saying that lawyers haven't been replaced by AI because they don't "use it enough", is just tech-bro straw-manning. They have used it. It isn't good enough. It's that simple.

Can vouch for this, and this is nothing new in Indian IT corporate. With GenAI it's getting amplified. After authoring internal papers on AI Risk Management/Assurance and Governance, imagine the pain of going through the basic courses in the name of mandatory trainings!
A friend of mine works at one of the largest IT companies in India and she just completed a Gen AI course in an hour by clicking next button 100s of times and now she is part of a GenAI ready workforce! Proud of her :)

Always wondered on the climate impact of modern wars. This article is a year old, things have gone futher south from then! Add the Gaza conflict, the impact is catastrophic!! Russia’s war with Ukraine accelerating global climate emergency, report shows theguardian.com/environment/…

Let's build an agentic AI to solve this complex process 🤣 #sarcastic
The kind of complex thinking a pani puri vendor does daily is mind-blowing. Take a simple evening at a stall. Six people standing, each on their 5th or 6th puri, some already demanding a second plate. Suddenly a new customer walks in. Most vendors don’t say, “Wait.” They just weave the person seamlessly into the cycle. Now imagine the mental math: Remembering who is at which puri. Keeping track of whose turn is next. Managing fresh plates, second plates, and shared plates; all together. Customizing taste (extra teekha, more meetha, no aloo, jain, swaminarayan). Balancing chutneys, potatoes, and flavored water so nothing runs out mid-cycle. Handling payments; immediate, delayed, or credit. Running logistics: how many plates to sell to survive the day? And this is just the basic complexity. All of it is happening in real time, with no Excel sheet, no CRM, no team, no reminder app. One mistake, and the customer knows instantly. Now compare that with our white-collar world. We call ourselves multitaskers but lean on reminders, tools, meetings, and buffers. A pani puri vendor doesn’t get that luxury. For him or her, complexity is not a skill on the CV; it’s survival. The next time you eat pani puri, notice not just the taste but the brilliance of the brain behind it. #Amazing

Crowd fun the kickbacks by legalising lobbying, at least then we can expect contractors to allocate all the funds for actual works. 🤦‍♂️
Did I just read 1 crore per pothole funding in Bengaluru?

Time taken to cover a distance of around 3.5kms. No construction, no road blocks, no vehicles broken down, no pot holes, yet 2.7km/h the worst I have seen in a decade. Whitefield-Hoskote road. @WFRising @BelathurRising @ICCCBengaluru @kadugodips
