@Panther7112 Dude I have seen things on twitter. This has to be the top one lol
English

@abandopa But didn't GOI announce prior to this US statement that we will continue to buy more?
English

@Aspireachievee Ok this is the most absurd post I have seen lol
English

@abhijit_MLab It's the problem with mindset and ethics. The deepest problem at the system level is the quantitative output being praised over qualitative output. If these two change, we might have a better world.

@0xratnakar The policy makers are clowns themselves. What do you expect?
English

TIL galgotias university files more patents than all IITs combined.
not because they’re innovating. bcz they figured out the cheat code.
filing a patent in india costs ₹1,600.
govt reimburses up to ₹2 lakh per filing.
that’s a 125x return. before the patent does anything.
so universities found the playbook:
file 1000 patents → collect ₹20cr → boost NIRF rank → attract more students → collect fees → repeat
the patents? take a guess 🤡
india ranks 5th globally in patent applications.
last among the top 6 in grant rate.
japan converts 70% of filings into grants.
we convert 40%.
we ain’t building but chasing wrong metrics.
and the worst part? the system rewards it.
NIRF counts raw filings, not grants. so the incentive is to file garbage at scale, not build real IP.
this is what happens when you optimize for the scoreboard instead of the game.
we’re really good at looking innovative.
not as good at being it.
fix is simple btw:
reimburse at grant stage, not filing stage. tie incentives to commercialization. weight NIRF on grants, not applications.
but simple fixes don’t happen when the people gaming the system are also the ones writing the policy. need young + smart policy makers
innovation isn’t a form you fill. it’s a product you build. 🫡

Galgotias, now in the news for robots, is the same university whose faculty once published a paper suggesting that thali and bell vibrations could kill coronavirus. My heart goes to the students of this university who will feel ashamed to say where they are studying.

@brknanda @Sunburn_Suraj I specifically spoke about the state universities and have clearly mentioned that I don't know abt the central institutes. Moreover everyone knows bribes work everywhere but most of them are unaware.
English

Just checked the Faculty profile in IITJodhpur, dept of bio and chemistry.
Found that most of the faculty have done their PhDs from India. Despite, 25k students went to USA, 50k students in Europe for PhD, end up no faculty positions.
Biasness ruined Academia.

@odiadadan525 @Sunburn_Suraj Might be but not in many places across the country.
English

@AmodRBhat @Sunburn_Suraj Fake not in odisha it is highly transparent
English

@vangoghwentgone @Sunburn_Suraj I know most of them don't believe this but yeah I have seen this.
English

@AmodRBhat @Sunburn_Suraj Nah I don't think that's true. People are paying 40-60lakhs just to become assistant professors in a state uni????
English

@Sunburn_Suraj There is nothing we can do. No matter how good your science is, either a person who has network or who pays a bribe or who gives FAVOURS gets recruited. I can literally cite examples but not the right platform.
English

@Sunburn_Suraj And yeah I l tell you the harsh truth. People here expect you to pay bribes to get tenured positions and to recover that amount, people start corruption. How do you think Indian academia has losers who don't know shit about real science? Bcoz they pay and become clowns lol
English

@Sunburn_Suraj You wanna know the price? It's 40-60 lakhs per position in a state university. I don't know about central institutes. Some morons don't even know how many standard amino acids there are and have become professors paying bribes. This is the harsh truth.
English

@AmodRBhat Omg , I was not informed about this.
English

@Sunburn_Suraj Ok I have seen many bengali faculties, and tamilian faculties hire Bengalis or south indians mostly. Dont you think that's prejudice too? And everyone in the country knows that nepotism is really there in academia and most faculties who are tenured play ignorant. It sucks
English

@FrosTvsYou @noxdafuq Don't worry Indian fans are crazy. They l hate your father too if team performance is poor 😂😂😂😂
English

@noxdafuq Still facts. Even though we choked 3x we still got a ton of love. I expect it to be hate if it continues.

@ATinyGreenCell @BWalkerTTAGGG @JosephJacks_ You cannot include consciousness into a cell no matter what... The recipe is unknown. The more we interfere with the laws of nature the more we are doomed.
English

@AmodRBhat @BWalkerTTAGGG @JosephJacks_ Ai output:
98% ecoli with a dash of dataset genomics contaminants
English

@BWalkerTTAGGG @ATinyGreenCell @JosephJacks_ Bruhhhhh... Forget cloning a human, try to make a artificial single cell that can replicate exactly like a living cell with your AI. Then speak
English

"Most complex arrangement"... your DNA is mostly old lentivirus. Of course AI can improve it.
Hell, YOU can improve it. But there are so many bureaucratic barriers, you aren't even allowed to take the basic step of cloning a few smart people so that Will Hendrick will quit complaining about how dumb students are (we could also stop intentionally dumbing the US students down in public schools, there are multiple factors here).
Cloning works for polo teams, and it will work for labs. Let's see a whole lab full of Von Neumanns. washingtonpost.com/world/2023/12/…

@GlobalEsportsIn @FrosTvsYou Make sure that they stay disciplined inside the server. No dry peeks and always play together. They will beat the shit out. Good luck and may all your hardwork pay
