It’s easy to dunk on Geoffrey Hinton for his 2016 declaration that it was “completely obvious” that radiologists would have no jobs within 5 years, while in fact, the number of radiologists has grown. But this prediction was more than a simple mistake. It’s a synedoche for the entire discourse of AI timelines and doom.

This is How Natural Fortress look like Iran Ground invasion is not easy



BOMBSHELL: Iran officially declares it has broken the "false image of American invincibility" and announces readiness to form a massive new Middle East military alliance COMPLETELY EXCLUDING the United States and Israel. The geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting.


This is how cycle tracks should be in India, where everyone, including kids, can ride safely. Is this a possibility ever? At least in the next 50 years!!

I’m currently in Dubai, and here’s what I’m seeing on the ground. I flew from Mumbai via Emirates, and to my surprise, the flight was completely full. Some people argue that this could be due to fewer flights operating, but the reality is clear—people are still traveling to Dubai. It’s far from empty, contrary to what many social media narratives suggest. The contrast becomes visible after landing. The city definitely feels lighter—traffic is down significantly, and tourist presence is visibly lower. I would estimate traffic levels to be down by ~50%. Over the past two days, I’ve been out extensively—malls, restaurants, and meeting friends. Life, quite simply, is normal. We’ve been stepping out late in the evenings, and there is no visible fear among residents. People are going about their routines without hesitation. I visited Mall of the Emirates on Saturday evening, and it was bustling. Not overcrowded like peak tourist season, but certainly not a “ghost town” as often portrayed. Shops were active, some restaurants were full, and people were out enjoying themselves. Yes, expensive brands had less number of shoppers. But, daily coffee shops, Carrefour, Spinney's were super active. Yes, there are fewer people, and shorter wait times—but nothing close to the panic narrative circulating online. Areas closer to the airport, like Mirdif, have experienced more disruption. Residents there reported frequent drone sightings in the initial days, which understandably caused concern. However, even that seems to have normalized over time. In other areas—Downtown Dubai, Sheikh Zayed Road—the impact appears minimal. Occasional sirens or alerts do come through on phones as precautionary measures, but normalcy resumes within minutes. I also checked in on the real estate situation. At the higher end—villas above AED 20 million—there are signs of correction, roughly in the 10–20% range. But, deals are not getting closed in this segment as well. However, the mid-market segment (AED 2–5 million) remains relatively stable. Buyers are cautious, but sellers are equally unwilling to cut prices aggressively. It’s a classic wait-and-watch phase. So if someone claims Dubai real estate has crashed 50–60%, I’d say—take that deal immediately. General belief is that tourism will take time to recover, and those dependent on commissions—especially in sectors like real estate—will feel the pressure. Construction activity has almost come to a stand still. Smaller firms with stretched balance sheets and high leverage may struggle. In contrast, larger players with strong financial positions are likely to consolidate further and emerge stronger. Yes, Dubai feels different today—less crowded, less chaotic, and quieter due to fewer tourists. But it is far from being a ghost town. The city is functioning, people are working, and daily life continues. The overall sentiment is simple: cautious, but calm. No panic. Just a collective hope that the situation stabilizes soon. @DXBMediaOffice @DXB
