Generative artificial intelligence (AI) feels like a forced technology, it's not organically being adopted but shoved down everyone's throat by corporations pumping huge sums of money into marketing and hype. This is not a technology that is naturally growing.

Now that's real talk. Exactly my point since this madness started: you cannot train a model from a creator's works to then generate copies that put the creator out of business. If you are saying it's alright and you must not stand in the way of progress, fuck your progress and

this obsession of savarna uncle/aunties to keep repeating that "even NASA has said sanskrit is great for computers", needs to be studied 🙏 indianexpress.com/article/cities…

Today, we are open-sourcing nanoVLM, a pure pytorch library to train a Vision-Language Model from scratch in 750 lines of code. Training on one H100 for 6h, we get 35.3% on MMStar, matching SmolVLM-256M which was trained with 100x more GPU hours. 👀 Even in a FREE Google Colab,

There should be a serious concern among Indian Left when a reactionary like Raj Thackeray has a better point to make than the mainstream Indian Left. Leaving the Left ‘critique’ in favour of Congress-imitated politics has made parties like CPIM a sorry parody of the Left.

Amid a key military exercise by the Indian armed forces, media outlets shared unverified videos, amplifying misinformation. ABP, Aaj Tak, News18 & Zee, among others, used footage of Gaza airstrikes in 2023 as visuals of Operation Sindoor. | @Shinjineemjmdr altnews.in/aaj-tak-abp-ze…

Horseshit. Every business in the world has discovered in the last several months that GenAI is not in fact smart enough replace most of their employees. Whatever you are reading from these (often gamed, sometimes contaminated) benchmarks does not reflect real-world reality.

Grief is a market, patriotism is a brand, and trauma? Just another slot in prime time. Everything is political. Everything is for sale.

Qari Iqbal Mohammad's family demands action against 'Godi media' for falsely labelling him a Pakistani terrorist. Fact: He was killed in Pakistani shelling in Poonch.

Wow, it all suddenly has become clear to me at this very moment. It's not that language models become capable of an intelligent conversation after they reach a certain size, it's human brain stops recognizing hallucinations and starts believing it's an intelligent conversation,

Thanks for sharing this, Drew. Chat GPT has hallucinated books I’ve never written. At the moment these AIs are getting worse with 48% hallucinations. Investors have been lied to and don’t know how bad this tech is.

These people have a hard time to understand that exams traditionally were toy problems that show that a human person understands basic principles of their future profession. You cannot test real-world scenarios in exams. And it wasn't needed so far because if a human person

have no idea about meta specifically, but the same thing is happening at ALL tech companies they’re running out of ideas to improve the models, can’t 10x the amount of text written by humans, can’t afford to 10x training compute again this next year is gonna be interesting

In 2022, Cloudwalker and I designed a new form of AI based on wavelets for images, that is still SOTA on some benchmarks- thanks to IIT Bombay and Ministry of Education compute grants. But a lot more compute is needed to make such innovations globally usable. paperswithcode.com/paper/wavemix-…

🧵 1/8 The Illusion of Thinking: Are reasoning models like o1/o3, DeepSeek-R1, and Claude 3.7 Sonnet really "thinking"? 🤔 Or are they just throwing more compute towards pattern matching? The new Large Reasoning Models (LRMs) show promising gains on math and coding benchmarks,

it's unfortunate that I have to go public with a harasser because i tried handling it privately, I had hoped that appropriate action would be taken against this man but clearly none of that has happened, because he still has a platform and all of his connections (1/n)

India is not the 4th most equal country in the world. We re-did correct & comparable calculations: India ranks 176 (& not 4) out of 216 on income inequality. On calorie consumption inequality, it ranks 102 out of 185. I explain this in The Wire m.thewire.in/article/econom…
