A People's Guide to AI

  Systems that use artificial intelligence are quietly becoming present in more and more parts of our lives. But what does this technology really mean for people, both right now and in the future?

Orijit Sen says it all.

Might is right.
Tbvh there is no rational response but shame ad to what the legal edifice of India was for a long time and is going to become. More useful to focus on mass politics which even in the deepest fascism may be recovered than focus on these institutions. People save institutions, not the other way round

@Spectatorkhan A: How many versions of the Ramayana exist?

A: Countless, and there are more all the time. It is a story always being retold. Even what we call Valmiki's Ramayana was a fluid text that existed in multiple versions.

AK Ramanujan began a famous essay on the Ramayana thus: "How many Ramayanas? Three hundred? Three thousand? At the end of some Ramayanas, a question is sometimes asked: How many Ramayans have there been? And there are stories that answer the question. Here is one."

It's a horrible travesty of justice that the courts are discussing a land dispute case instead of trying to ensure that the terrorists are punished. The successful deviation from the real majoritarian violence to the imaginary communal conflict is the biggest fiasco in all of this, and it's not just the right wing that's to be blamed.
