I was wrong— the story is truly horrible.

Co-founder, CJP 😏

Gurmehar Kaur aur Umar Khalid se pucho risk lena kya hota hai!

Complete deja vu for me — I remember arguing along similar lines with both my well intentioned friends and bigots when they were jumping onto the Anna “movement”

@Undoubtfulnerd There are people who have been tortured, jailed and called terrorists only because they fought for fair pay for workers. There are young people fighting the real, dangerous fight in every corner of this country, but the media wants to platform a frivolous online campaign

NSUI pichle 2 hafton se is dhoop mien NEET Aspirants ke lie laathi kha rahi hai. Workers ko detain kia jaa raha hai. Par logon ka mann CJP type sasti bakchodi mien zyada lagta hai! Aur kehte hai "There is no Alternative"!

@juneymb 100% agree

Joining the CJP is like feeding pigeons. It is performative It is easy Benefits no one. The native bird population suffers.

Noida protests: accused tell Supreme Court that UP police infiltrated labour WhatsApp groups and incited violence. A March 22 event when a centre for underprivileged children in the name of Shaheed Bhagat Singh was inaugurated in Delhi was passed off by police as a meeting where a conspiracy was hatched to intensify labour agitation- Via TOI

Microdosing hell by being aware and literate

Me. I. Me.

@kocharpulkit Underrated tweet

Sibi George when asked about human rights violations in India

Culturally right wing, but with appreciation for Urdu sher-o-shayari and biryani.

Other than the first two lines in this excerpt, the rest feels real though. Almost achingly beautiful. I suppose AI was indiscriminately used to craft this story, but perhaps it won because there are gems hidden in the slop. Makes me want to read it now.

We need to take stand for this YouTuber

@travis_shosa Hah!

There is no upside to these AI witch hunts. Bad writing is bad writing. Good writing is good writing. These tell tale signs everyone points to are well used, time tested tools of writing and story telling. Not X but Y? As I wrote in a piece I published here(link in next tweet), you can find dozens of examples in books by James Baldwin, Margaret Atwood, The Bible, The Hadith. Mentioning things in groups of three? A standard tool in lots of very good writing. Em dashes? Just part of the language. And where does it all come from? From writing that we have put out in the world. From our novels and stories and essays. AI did not invent any of this. I have used all of these quite often over the last 15 years. Unless you want people to actively avoid everything that could be construed to be AI, I don't see the point of this. Especially writing in groups of threes which is a fundamental rhetorical and psychological principle used by human writers for centuries. Why? Rhythm, emphasis, persuasion. That is why the tricolon (listing words or phrases in threes) works. That is also why the three act structure (setup, confrontation, resolution) works. The problem is not in the use, but in moderation and this can happen in any piece of writing, not just AI. I read a lot of weird MFA writing where you can hardly distinguish one writer from another because they all write in that self-important navel gazing way that shows that they are more interested in impressing people (read: their professors and colleagues) with sentences than in telling stories. All of the fancy MFA stories that are about nothing, say nothing, except show that the writer attended a creative writing program, is that the great writing we are protecting? Stories that live and die in literary magazines and speak to no one? There are bigger, more important questions to answer in and with literature. There are stories to be told. Emotions and phenomena to explore. Depths to be reached. None of these will be done by AI. Will (or can) AI help actual professionals and serious thinkers do their job more efficiently? Only time will tell. And trust me by the time this madness is over, you will discover that many more people than you think (or at least many more than admit) are using AI for a wide range of tasks related to story telling, and exploring ideas. I also do not think that the writers who have writing teams and assistants and interns helping to produce their books are any better just because they use humans to produce the work we praise them for. Ideas and stories will live or die based on how well they speak to those who read them, not how they are made.

My problem with platforming this so-called party is that it takes focus away from journalists, activists and others doing the actual work, and allows godi-media to pretend impartiality by showcasing this superficial online group that poses zero threat to the regime.

Yeh hai hamara market

@HelleLyngSvends Love the attitude! 🔥

In case the people making edits of me would like other photos of me than my holiday photos, here is one from the 17th of May last Sunday. Freedom of expression, press freedom and participation in democracy was vital when the Constitution was established. I am wearing my bunad from Åmli.
