When kafka wrote "there are times,when I am convinced I am unfit for any human relationship" And When Mohsin Naqvi said, "meray hathon ki lakeero mein ye aib chupa hai mohsin, mein jis shaks ko choo loun wo mera nhe rehta" I felt that.

@researchUSAI Dear, Thanks for quoting my article. But I carry identity of a researcher, and do not use social media for comments/analysis. Thanks!

🤖 In an alarming delegation of moral authority to machines, Social media user @saadiqbal_10 has issued a stark warning that the most critical decisions... determining who dies, why they die, and the evidence justifying such outcomes... are increasingly being handed over to artificial intelligence systems This pronouncement highlights growing concerns over AI's expanding role in high-stakes domains, such as autonomous weapons, predictive policing, or medical triage, where algorithms could supplant human judgment in life-or-death scenarios The caution may spur debates on ethical oversight, regulatory frameworks, and accountability measures to prevent unchecked AI from wielding unchecked power over human fates

The most critical choices about who dies, why they die, and what evidence justifies their death are now delegated to AI systems, warns @saadiqbal_10 responsiblestatecraft.org/ai-weapons/

My latest analysis piece for @RStatecraft arguing, "For the first time in the history of codified warfare, the entity that determines who dies can neither be summoned before a court nor articulate its reasoning."

NEW @saadiqbal_1 : "The deepest problem with algorithmic warfare is not that it makes killing more efficient. It profoundly undermines the laws of war" responsiblestatecraft.org/who-is-respons…

@FaizWrites25 Been to NDU for my BS. On a normal day, like today, I would recommend QAU. However, NDU may offer better administrative support, less political hassle around your studies, and obviously lower tuition fees.

NDU or QAU for strategic and defence studies ? Suggestion will be appreciated.

@void_3278 @MichaelKugelman @AtlanticCouncil @ethrelkeld @KamranBokhari @AlexVatanka not exactly a secret, brother. i hear your point

@MichaelKugelman @AtlanticCouncil @ethrelkeld @KamranBokhari @AlexVatanka PAKISTAN-USA IS BASED ON TRANSACTIONAL SECURITY FOUNDATION.THIS SECURITY FOUNDATION ENSURE MEDIATION ROLE.ITS PLAIN AND SIMPLE.ALWAYS HAVE BEEN.WHILE INDIA-USA HAS ECONOMIC AND STRATEGIC CONVERGENCE,NOT SECURITY...

Tomorrow I’ll be hosting a virtual @AtlanticCouncil discussion on Pakistan’s Iran war mediation efforts and their implications with @ethrelkeld @kamranbokhari and @alexvatanka. RSVP and other info below. atlanticcouncil.org/event/how-paki…

The upcoming US-Iran talks in #Islamabad this weekend occur amid a fragile regional context. Any agreement could influence the current ceasefire dynamics and long-term strategic positioning. Success will depend on whether the parties can bridge gaps on core issues without undermining broader alliances. Observers note that such #talks often represent incremental steps rather than definitive resolutions. Irrespective of the outcome of the talks, the positions taken by the parties involved are likely to set a precedent for future conflicts and dialogues in the region. #IslamabadTalks

@brief_pk How come you concluded that it was a medical facility? I would like to know more about it, please.

What is Pakistan’s endgame here by targeting a rehab center in Kabul? We are waiting for additional confirmations before reporting on this strike.

@cirnosad @threadreaderapp unroll

leaving things unsaid because saying them won't change a thing.

Reports suggest talks are going on for #Turkey to join #SaudiArabia and #Pakistan #DefencePact. It seems quite unlikely that Saudi Arabia would be comfortable letting #Turkey join the Pact due to diverse long term regional interests

@sarahadams wavellroom.com/2026/01/23/smu… An interesting read relevant to what you shared.

Whatever happens happens

@ScholarshipfPhd hi

We are a strange country with a great imagination to stretch laws and the constitution Resignations don’t mean resignation. Elections don’t mean elections Appointments are at will. Expertise doesn’t mean expertise Ministers rotate ministries as do secretaries. Statistics are manipulated. Easy money is preferable to money earned through enterprise. Representation has no meaning. No parliamentarian is interested in Legislation only power PSDP is a political animal Public funds are private property of the powerful. We can’t even debate issues.
