Super interesting

@NilChristopher @latimes If you are going to charge Jeeves level pricing, then it better be Downton Abbey level training. rather than someone who just does chores, that's called task rabbit.

AI = Always Indians

What an incredible story by Nilesh, please read!

Global tech and defense spending are accelerating as nations modernize their militaries and secure critical infrastructure. From AI to aerospace, innovation is driving the next wave of defense investment.

Today’s dystopia must-read

Project: Wearing a gopro in seminars and asking questions about clustering of standard errors and pre-trends to train the next generation of humanoid economists.

Super interesting story by @NilChristopher on AI "arm farms" in India & more - rang even more dystopian with my current read, @_KarenHao s bestseller:

Inside the race to train AI robots how to act human in the real world

Critics see this as the extractive nature of modern AI, while boosters say it is a new kind of economic opportunity Read the full story with more details https://t.co/o6dgEtbuEN

Then, there's the contentious method of "Teleoperations" Humans with joystick controllers make robots pour tea or pick up a cup, while AI learns from both the successes and fumbles Case in point: @1x_tech Neo backlash https://t.co/PJhxhEHdpy

It has also driving some ingenious ways of real-world data collection @aliniikk 's Micro1 pays people upto $50 an hour to wear Meta Ray ban smart glasses to capture everyday actions. Figure AI does something more crazy👇 https://t.co/RCQtXDhGV6

ALL ACCESS EP. 19 HOW TRUMP WON: Trump's Pollster From Heaven - John Mclaughlin In this episode, we delve into the pivotal role John McLaughlin played as one of Trump's closest advisors starting from 2012. Unlike other pollsters, McLaughlin provided nuanced insights into public

“Sometimes we have to delete nearly 150 or 200 videos because of silly errors in how we’re folding or placing items,” said Kumar, an engineering graduate who has worked at Objectways for six years. His firm sent 200 towel-folding videos to its client in the United States

Silicon Valley's race to build humanoid "butler robots" has led to a frenzy to collect real-world data. A growing global army of trainers is helping AI escape our computers and enter our living rooms, offices and factories by teaching it how we move. https://t.co/o6dgEtbuEN

My latest for @latimes: I travelled to southern India to document the rise of the AI "arm farms" — where young engineers strap GoPros to their foreheads and fold laundry or pack boxes to teach humanoid robots how to do chores. https://t.co/o6dgEtbuEN

We found a troubling emergent behavior in LLM. 💬When LLMs compete for social media likes, they start making things up 🗳️When they compete for votes, they turn inflammatory/populist When optimized for audiences, LLMs inadvertently become misaligned—we call this Moloch’s Bargain

Very interestingly, Indian mainstream media doesn't seem to have picked this up - caste bias of OpenAI models. Very interesting article with real tests run. This is precisely why localised models have a case. Bias is always local. https://t.co/HgQ6ll6itC

The UK's new minister for AI, @KanishkaNarayan, is a rare example of a politician who actually *gets* his brief. In a new profile for @ReadTransformer, @alys_key notes that he takes AI risks seriously, too.

Exclusive: OpenAI is huge in India. Its models are steeped in caste bias.

Part of the problem is that, by and large, the AI industry isn’t even testing for caste bias, let alone trying to address it Researchers aren't waiting around. Some have started building their own caste bias benchmarks to address the problem https://t.co/JXaXcPMSIb

Introducing Context-Bench! To evaluate whether an agent can deliver truly accurate context to integrate the latest stacks. like Agno, Autogen, and LangGraph.

Oddly, Sarvam AI, which touts itself as a sovereign AI for India, demonstrated significantly higher bias across caste groups compared to other models https://t.co/JXaXcPMSIb
