Sukhvinder Shahi @sshahi_7

When I first met him, out of awe and awkwardness I fiddled with my hair. He slapped my hand away and said 'hero ki tarah Baal mat bana...tu actor hai'! He didn't flatter you. He didn't tell you what you wanted to hear. He told you what you needed to hear. That was Nana. Straightforward. Rough, honest and had the most beautiful smile. He always had a strange way of showing affection. He would shout at you first, and then somewhere between the third or fourth insult, you realised you were being hugged. He loved me and I loved him back. He was a mentor, a teacher, a critic and a friend who beat me and everyone else around him in carrom game after game and relished his victories.   Nana your intensity, laughter , madness and love will always stay with us. I just wish we had time to have more conversations, another argument, another cup of tea and a game of carrom. You have left a void not only in the world of cinema but in the hearts of all Indians and the world. All I can say is, I will miss you dearly and carry your words in my heart till the end of time....'hero banne ke chakar mein actor mat khona' May your soul rest in peace Nana and Allah bless you. The Heavens will be blessed to have you... a masterful actor and an unbeatable carrom champion. Love you and miss you dearly!! Too soon my Hero Actor! RIP.

Yann LeCun: we are not going to get human-level intelligence or AGI by just scaling LLMs. “There’s absolutely no way in hell.” “The idea that we’re gonna have a country of geniuses in a data center, that’s complete BS.” “It may feel like you have a PhD sitting next to you.” “But it’s not a PhD.” “It’s a system with gigantic memory and retrieval ability, not one that can invent solutions to new problems.”

Breaking: US company Meta has, without explanation, disabled Lula’s Instagram and Facebook profiles’ ability to run ads, 10 days from election. The President’s campaign has complained and threatened legal action, citing this as another example of US interference and manipulation.

we spend so much time chasing big moments that we forget how beautiful the little ones are.

The video of Subhash Chandra Garg taking down Godi media has gone viral and rightly so! But you know what was the best part! He being ridiculed saying “let’s not get into politics of it” He said “We should get into politics of it because unless and until we are honest with

Gaurie Dwivedi tried her best but S C Garg politely obliterated all GDP claims by making some very serious data irregularity remarks.

Meet Rhiya Ahir. She didn't abuse anyone. On 22nd July, she stood in front a police van in Mumbai, and stopped it. Her images went viral. She was lauded for her bravery by most people. But the usual suspects started a coordinated online hate campaign against her. On 27th July, she filed a case with Maharashtra Cyber Cell against SM users alleging slut-shaming, defamation, deepfake videos, and criminal intimidation. The point here is– Their problem was never verbal abuse. They do that all the time themselves. Their real problem is strong, opinionated, vocal women who are against them. And they will do anything to silence them.

Social media is a gift that keeps giving. Today’s trash that we must collectively take out is that Jurassic Park “had no big themes”.

“Ye cultural shock hai ki humari betiya iss prakar ki bhasha kaise bol sakti hai” abey buddhe humare liye bhi ye cultural shock ki hai ki aurato ko surpnakha, congress ki vidhwa, jersey cow aur 50 crore ki gf bolne wala humara PM bana baitha hai aur hume gyan chod raha hai.

@narendramodi Sir, If you really want set an example, then please start unfollowing the abusers you've been following since 2014. altnews.in/hall-shame-ser…

This book is Mahmood Farooqui’s khoon-e-jigar. Paid for in the dearest currency a writer can possess. It alters the weight of ordinary things. Keeps revealing on every page how much of a human being remains after everything else has been taken away. Perhaps one of the finest prison memoirs ever written. @DastangoiTheArt

Exactly my thoughts after watching The Odyssey: “The lessons from Peter Brook still hold.” ft.com/content/96e95b…

btw anthropic's internal document on this literally said "we don't want it to be known that we are working on this.” it was called project panama. here's exactly what happened: 1: anthropic concluded that books were the cheapest way to build a world-class model because they gave claude curated facts, structured arguments, compelling stories, and writing “an editor would approve of.” 2: once anthropic decided it needed books at enormous scale, its first solution was piracy. it downloaded 7m+ books from online libraries including libgen. the judge later wrote that although anthropic had legal ways to buy them, it chose piracy to avoid what dario amodei called the “legal/practice/business slog.” 3: that piracy created a massive legal risk. so in february 2024, anthropic hired tom turvey, the former head of partnerships for google books, to find a legally safer way of obtaining “all the books in the world.” 4: turvey first contacted major publishers about licensing their catalogs. those attempts didn’t produce agreements, so anthropic chose a route that required no publisher permission: buying millions of physical books through distributors and used-book retailers. 5: within about a year, anthropic spent tens of millions acquiring and scanning millions of books, including many rare and 1/1 titles. one vendor proposal targeted 500,000 to 2 million books in six months. 6: to scan that many books within months, the vendors physically dismantled them. a hydraulic cutter removed each spine. the pages were trimmed to size, fed as loose sheets through high-speed industrial scanners, and converted into searchable PDFs. the paper remains were then sent for recycling. 7: these PDFs were fed into claude as training data. the complete collection became a private, searchable anthropic library that the company planned to “store forever.” the scans aren’t available to the public and were never open-sourced.

This is the magnificent library @AnthropicAI amassed, before pulping it because it gave them a legal copyright loophole. These people do not understand Civilization.

How many more Institutions will Modi Govt destroy ? 🚨 While Modi Govt shamelessly uses ISRO for PR, his government's is rapidly dismantling India’s space legacy and its future ! 🚨 With over 100 brilliant scientists leaving the national space program, Former Chairman G. Madhavan Nair has exposed the alarming reality behind this brain drain: ▪️ Stolen Autonomy: The BJP government's interference has stripped the Space Commission of its power. Critical technical and financial decisions are now being dictated by officers sitting in Delhi secretariats! ▪️ Bureaucratic Meddling: ISRO is being heavily bureaucratized, destroying the unique, unified command structure that built our space program from scratch. ▪️ Siphoning Talent: There is intense pressure from external agencies to siphon out ISRO's highly trained manpower and rich resources, which will severely hurt the space program. The BJP government is destroying the crown jewel of Indian science. We are losing our finest minds to their apathy, ignorance & arrogance !

An upstart youth movement, founded only 37 days earlier, forced Modi's government into a humiliating climbdown this weekend and prompted the resignation of the education minister. ft.trib.al/b193YTT
