#MeitY ban on #Telegram in #India is an egregious & asinine attempt by the #GovernmentofIndia to hide the utter #incompetence & #irresponsibility of #NTA in conducting critical #exams. Telegram is only a convenient channel for the leakers, not the most resilient.

AI Bans Are Here. I Told You So. Now Let’s Talk About Why This Is Bad.
I said it before. I said it on this very blog, on Interfaith Intrepid, back when folks were still treating artificial intelligence like it was some kind of science fiction novelty that only tech bros in San Francisco cared about.

“Over the past 20 years… the raw number of criminal incidents involving foreigners has dropped by approximately 40 percent. Over the same period, the total foreign population in Japan nearly doubled, from 2.01 million to 3.95 million. This means that the current crime rate among foreigners is a quarter of its 20-year peak.”
