Amazon is holding a mandatory meeting about AI breaking its systems. The official framing is "part of normal business." The briefing note describes a trend of incidents with "high blast radius" caused by "Gen-AI assisted changes" for which "best practices and safeguards are not yet fully established." Translation to human language: we gave AI to engineers and things keep breaking? The response for now? Junior and mid-level engineers can no longer push AI-assisted code without a senior signing off. AWS spent 13 hours recovering after its own AI coding tool, asked to make some changes, decided instead to delete and recreate the environment (the software equivalent of fixing a leaky tap by knocking down the wall). Amazon called that an "extremely limited event" (the affected tool served customers in mainland China).


Wow. Just used Grok 4.20 beta to brainstorm space program ideas. Note: I've been developing similar programs for many years and have deep intel into this world, but Grok blew me away with fresh, actionable concepts. When ppl say AI can't create new ideas, they're wrong. 1/2



India’s AI Summit or Modi PR Show Chinese Robot Passed Off as Indian Innovation


We are proud to announce our first successful supply and deployment of indigenous Survey Grade Drones by @MapmyIndia to the Indian Army. These state-of-the-art, Made-in-India drones, equipped with advanced aerial survey and mapping technology, will be used for hands-on training at the Faculty of Geospatial Sciences (FGS), College of Military Engineering (CME) — the Centre of Expertise for Geospatial Sciences and Geo-Informatics for the Armed Forces. Designed for high-precision surveying, terrain mapping, and aerial reconnaissance, the drones will support the Corps of Engineers with faster, safer, and more accurate data acquisition for operational and engineering applications. The training and evaluation sessions at FGS saw active participation and valuable technical feedback, contributing to the continuous refinement of indigenous drone technologies for defence use. We express our sincere gratitude to the Col SK Sarkar, Commander, Faculty of Geospatial Sciences, for his visionary leadership, guidance, and critical technical inputs during the training and demonstration sessions. His insights and feedback are invaluable for refining technology aligned with Army requirements. We also extend our sincere gratitude to the entire Faculty of Geospatial Sciences, as well as the leadership of CME and the Corps of Engineers, for their guidance, support, and trust. Together, we advance towards strengthening national capabilities through indigenous geospatial and drone technologies — aligned with the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat. @rakeshverma1950 | @MapmyindiaVerma | @_rohanverma #AtmanirbharBharat #IndianArmy #DefenceInnovation #Geospatial #DroneSurvey #CorpsOfEngineers #CMEPune #IndigenousTechnology #MapmyIndia



A 4-lane flyover in Mira-Bhayandar suddenly narrows into just 2 lanes. This double-decker flyover is a part of the Metro Line 9 project by JKumar and is set to be inaugurated in February. Is this how @MMRDAOfficial designs “infrastructure”? How did this design get approved? 🤷🏻
