@dzsay @Plinz @francoisfleuret Of course not, and that's my point. A couple lines of Monte Carlo code isn't intelligent or a minor god. Intelligence lies in the writer of the algorithm, the conscious being who created it. Consciousness is fundamental that's what I'm getting at

@sailsahil @Plinz @francoisfleuret Random walk algorithms can solve complicated-looking problems. Google Monte Carlo methods. Does that mean that a simple algorithm that you can write in a couple of lines is intelligent and thus is like a minor god?

What is the most sophisticated statement about consciousness that is [reasonably] true for sure? @Plinz

@Plinz @francoisfleuret "Discovered by evolution"!!! 🤔 That implies evolution has intelligence, meaning intelligence is outside consciousness. So a higher intelligence discovered/created conscious beings through evolution. Basically Mr. God in disguise.

@francoisfleuret Consciousness is the simplest mechanism discovered by evolution that makes a mind like our's coherent

@sabeer Mughal unification by sword might be a fact, not truth. Same 'fact' today: Trump on Greenland/Venezuela, Russia in Ukraine, China on Taiwan, Israel on Palestine, Gaza But facts of conquest are not truth. Harmony > hatred. Ownership ≠ unity.

Uncomfortable historical fact: India was divided into dozens of kingdoms before the Mughals. Political unification didn’t happen by magic - it happened under them.

Hamza fakes desperate revival of Rahman's dead son in hospital. Frantic raw emotion to win trust. Later, after orchestrating attack on Rahman repeats the exact act in similar setup. same lie that built trust now hides its destruction. Poetic irony! #writing #Cinema #Dhurandar

@aravind Well said. However though we're increasingly driven by evidence, processes, and data, drifting from our natural instincts and human intelligence. We risk becoming more like intellectual machines and less like living beings. The West prefers evidence over intuition.

Whenever I call out the west's appropriation of yoga, ayurveda, or pranayama practices, I inevitably get this comment from many fellow Indians: "But we're not even researching or doing the science behind it." That's flat-out wrong. I have said this before many times and let me say it again - whether it's the healing powers of turmeric or the latest pranayama technique that's suddenly a fad branded as some western guy's "method," the foundational benefits are always uncovered first by Indian scientists. They do the research, test their hypotheses based on traditional knowledge, publish the studies, get them peer-reviewed too, and lay the groundwork. Only then does the appropriation kick in systematically, almost like clockwork. Either with a repliction of the research and publishing in their journals to make it popular or with just a review of the Indian research by some scientist or the doctor. After that in public discourse, it starts with a nod of attribution, then slides into rebranding the whole thing as their own. Next comes the justification: "Sure, it's inspired by the East (not even naming India), but we've modernized it." Give another decade, they deny any link - "This isn't the same as the original." And finally, the coup de grace: claiming it was independently discovered, with zero ties to the source. Brown Sepoys at this stage automatically start fighting on their behalf too. It's a playbook they've perfected from Greek fables with clearly animals endemic to India in it, to European mathematics with clearly Hindu numerals and logic, to Modern phlilosophy with everything from Samkhya and Nyaya to Vedanta in it. It's high time we recognize it for what it is. A sophisticated operation of cultural appropriation going on for centuries. No millenias.

@aravind One can certainly independently arrive at this truth. And that's the authenticity of the profound wisdom embedded in these ancient texts from thousands of years ago. It requires genuine intelligence to recognize this truth, the Western and/or influenced mind grasps it slowly.

They will restate what Upanishads and Buddhist texts said 2500+ years ago. If you point it, will claim this is something they arrived at independently. And won't even credit it in passing, unless it had been said by a Greek or Roman name - who probably borrowed it too from 🇮🇳

@elonmusk If not yet then do dive into the Upanishads (or at least Vedanta) it reveal profound truths about reality, consciousness and existence. Poins to the unity of self and ultimate reality) , they tackle life's deepest questions like illusion (Maya) or the matrix! #Vedanta #Upanishads

We cannot understand the true nature of the Universe, unless we question deeply. I want to know what is real, even if the answer is total obliteration of my consciousness.

@haider1 What's the key to validating AGI? A non-biological system solving an unidentified problem. Claims of AGI by 2035 must pass this test otherwise, no matter how intelligent, it’s not AGI. #AI #AGI

the majority of AI researchers place AGI between 2027 and 2035 the only time i've heard predictions of 100 years was before ChatGPT i believe it doesn't matter because AI has become more intelligent since 2022 we're close to AI automating AI research one breakthrough could shrink the timelines dramatically

@DVATW Colonizer mindset shines. Calling Bhagat Singh a terrorist distorts history. His resistance targeted colonial oppression, not civilians. True terrorism lies in the colonizer's actions invading nations and killing innocents while Bhagat Singh fought for India’s freedom.

He is holding an AK47 rifle in front of a portrait of a terrorist called Bhagat Singh, who assassinated a British police officer named John Saunders in 1928, and then bombed the Central Assembly in Delhi in 1929. Singh was executed in 1931.

@elonmusk Why do you assume consciousness is restricted to Earth? Perhaps you are conflating consciousness with human intelligence, or with what we currently understand to be life.

Making consciousness multiplanetary is essential for its long-term survival

एक प्रश्न पूछ रहा हूँ। यहाँ के सभी मित्रों से आग्रह है कि जवाब दें कृपया। कुछ समझने की कोशिश कर रहा हूँ। सिर्फ़ उत्तर दें। कारण न बतायें। Rhetoric भी नहीं। जितने ज़्यादा लोग उत्तर देंगे उतने ज़्यादा लोगों को उत्तर से कुछ समझने का मौक़ा मिलेगा। सिर्फ़ एक माह बताना है और वर्ष। और कुछ नहीं। प्रश्न- आपने आख़िरी बार थिएटर में जा के फ़िल्म कब देखी थी? सिर्फ़ महीना और साल बतायें।

@TOEwithCurt Psychedelic, Buddhism, Hinduism or for that matter any "ism" are just paths not the reality, why to care about watered down as long as you know how to travel. Journey is important not the path

Psychedelics = watered down Buddhism. Buddhism = watered down Vedism. Vedism = ...?

@thevirdas Vir you can take this incident in such a "comedic" way, may be the reason behind the trophy. Congratulations for Emmy 🎉

Bengaluru airport security. Officer: bag me murti hai? Me: sir Puruskar hai Officer: acha. Is me ke sharp Point hai? Me: sir sharp nahi hai. Uska pankh hai. Officer: acha acha. Dikhaiye. I open the bag. He looks at the award. Lifts it up. It’s not sharp. Officer: accha hai. Badhai ho. Kya karte ho? Me: Comedian sir. Joke sunata hoon. Him: joke ke liye puruskar milte hain? Me: mujhko bhi ajeeb laga sir. We both laugh. I put it back in the bag. I head to my flight.

@ikpsgill1 You find humor in this!!?? there are countless humans enduring unspeakable hardship in war-stricken nations. Heard about empathy? human emotion that connects us all. It would be a much more meaningful use of your influence/creativity than this distasteful flaunting of privilege.

@TheCineprism How can one compare these masterpieces. Godfather is about family, mafia syndicate, crime. Goodfellas is more focused towards the life of gangsters and criminal activities. Can we compare Satya and Gangs of wasseypur and rate one of them higher than other?

🎬 Goodfellas x The Godfather The Godfather is right up there as one of the greatest mob stories ever told but imo what makes Goodfellas stands out is its realistic and raw depiction of individuals from our neighborhood in their most vicious yet vulnerable portrait. Thoughts?

@aviralbhat It's foolishness and not something to be proud of. @Uber @Uber_Support @UberINSupport this is against low and highly unsafe.

New India: - Uber driver - Watching IPL live - Flawless streaming - Tuned into Jio Cinema - TV added in a low-priced car We don't appreciate how incredible this in a "developing" country India tech is transforming employment, entertainment and comfort

#Chalteraho from #PachuvumAthbuthaVilakkum is Cinema. Music, lyrics, vocals are at it's peak but cinematography by Sharan Velayudhan Nair is a point of view of Mumbai that #Bollywood has forgotten. What a fresh way to see Mumbai, it's like exploring a known city with new eyes.

Saare ke saare akele is something else. That transition from melancholy to hopefulness is magical. ख्वाबों के ये सिलसिले बस यूं ही आबाद रहे #Jubilee @ItsAmitTrivedi #Kausarmunir #vikramadityamotwane

@paulg @KuldipPatel This directly implies that Indian Americans (Including yet to be American) are the highest tax payers. Yet most of these Indian (yet to be American) have been waiting for their GC for years and years, thanks to per country based quota and out of date immigration processing system
