I seriously don't understand why schools don't use this yet.
I would've mastered AI Engineering in college if they had thought this way.

Many scientists in US pursue varied interests . Have many white scientists/technologists learning sanskrit, Upanishads,BG in the past & even now. Oppenheimer & many great scientists come to mind. Yet 2 Hindus discussing it for fun causes rage amongst LeLis.

An OpenAI employee snuck a listening device in the office. He’s been caught, fired and is facing charges.
A storyline from “Silicon Valley” strikes again.
We discovered a sophisticated recording device that was hidden inside one of our offices. We used our models to understand the device and where it had come from, identifying that a specific employee had planted it a few days earlier. We referred the matter to the FBI, and we’re grateful to the agents and prosecutors who moved quickly to make an arrest. The FBI’s investigation is ongoing and we will continue to support their work.
At this time, we have no indications of this individual inappropriately accessing or exfiltrating model weights, source code, or customer data. The employee was terminated.
We take protecting our technology, data, and people seriously, and as a matter of national importance. Our security program is designed to protect against a wide range of threat actors, from insider risks to cybercriminals to nation states, and this case is an example of how AI can help address these sophisticated security threats.

Watching Elon Musk this week has been a fascinating character study in the saviour complex of Western tech billionaires.
They arrive in your country selling you the future. Welcome them, and you’re a country that wants progress. Make them wait, and suddenly your people are victims who need rescuing from their own institutions by the chosen one.
It’s a pattern. When Thai rescuers didn’t use the mini-submarine Musk sent for the trapped boys, and diver Vernon Unsworth called the idea impractical, Musk attacked him as the “pedo guy.”
When Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered X to comply with its rulings, Musk called the judge a “dictator.”
The script rarely changes. Only the country does.
The colonial mindset isn’t always about wanting to rule a country. Sometimes it’s the assumption that you arrive as its saviour, and if the country doesn’t immediately recognise you as one, something must be wrong with the country.

What?!?!?! The US punishes India for importing fuel from Russia and threatens 100% tariffs on other countries that do so. And then Trump blithely announces the US is doing the same?

Tell me again why the U.S. keeps threatening penalties on India? The whole reason the U.S. had NOT discouraged India's Russia purchases in the first place was because of supply and stability in the global market, i.e., the exact justification for THIS diesel-related general license that the United States is now giving to itself. But ever since the first threat to layer an additional 25% on top of the initial 25% base tariff, and now with the Graham bill enshrined into law, that "global supply" rationale dropped away as the U.S. has threatened India over Russia-related purchases. So how is this supposed to look to folks in Delhi?

Win-win for both countries ? American workers must get first priority on American jobs. But remember America is a free market system. We operate on principles of demand and supply. We must never let our companies suffer if our local domestic supply cannot meet the demand at this critical juncture when AI is bringing about a revolution greater than the industrial revolution. On the other side this American initiative is a blessing in disguise for India. If top Indian workers don’t have the option of working for an American company, they will be forced to work for an Indian company. -)
This will be a boon for India as it morphs into an AI driven enterprise architecture. A win-win for both countries. 🇺🇸🇮🇳🇺🇸🇮🇳.

Hard to understand Musk’s angle in this clash with India and Ambani. He’s too uncontrollable to be part of any deep-state. Revenues from India will be too small in his overall giant game. My guess: This is just a brief outburst from an angry man who doesn’t fear anyone.

I hope the Indian government immediately takes steps to further ease the switch to more and larger Global Capability Centers for these firms in India. No worries, India and Indians will absorb all this work that American workers cannot perform.
Vice President JD Vance announces the suspension of the PERM Program for Microsoft:
"Thanks to an ongoing investigation, we have decided to suspend the PERM program for Microsoft, which means they will no longer be able to take those H-1Bs and apply for permanent resident status within the United States of America. Now our message to Microsoft and to any other foreign or domestic corporation is quite simple. We obviously want you to thrive in the United States of America. We want people to invest in the United States of America, particularly the American technology sector. We’re the biggest boosters of your industry. We want you to continue to grow and to employ a lot of people, but we want you to employ American workers. And so our message to Microsoft is, you’re great American company, but you’ve got to hire great American workers. You cannot lay off American workers and then replace them with foreign indentured servants."
