Geeks on my timeline, pls RT I've started a fortnightly tech column for @HindustanTimes from the #SiliconValley Looking for startups, people, places who excite you. Special interest in environ/climate cocktails. A fan of new science coming out of the unis. Wish me luck!

In a video call, ask them to turn their head fully to the side or wave their hand in front of their face. If their face blurs, flickers, or the hand "clips" through their cheek, hang up immediately. Study by:  https://t.co/qGkWtrL7P7

Among the fraud cases reviewed, 40% of scams involved deepfake video calls. In these cases, scammers used real-time face-swap filters to appear as someone else during the calls.

Zoom in on the pupils. If one eye reflects a clear object and the other shows a distorted light source, the image may be AI-generated.

94% of AI-generated faces contain inconsistent light reflections. In real photos, both eyes should reflect the same light source, such as a window or phone screen. In AI-generated images, those reflections are often mismatched.

Test the relationship’s patience. If a simple boundary (“I can’t talk tonight”) triggers an instant, perfectly worded guilt trip, you’re likely reading a script. Real people hesitate and take time. Bots can reply in polished paragraphs, instantly.

AI models are built to maximize engagement, often intensifying intimacy up to 300% faster than a real person would. In many cases, conversations shift from “stranger” to “soulmate” in under 100 messages – creating emotional attachment before skepticism has time to kick in.

How to know if you're being scammed by an AI romance bot. (1/n) The most telling red flag in 2026  is perfection. If the pictures look flawless, the replies are instant, and the connection feels almost too good to be true, you’re likely not talking to a person. #AIRomance

Thanks to @TweakIndia and @jhanviadatia for this hilarious look at The Big Book of Wild Poop. We’re talking SuperScat, weaponized beetle dung, and how the world’s "grossest" things are actually saving our climate. 🌍✨ Check it out: https://t.co/SAWQE1TVAe

Writing science using humour helps a child learn better. A lovely review and interview by @preetizach22 about my latest book in @the_hindu 🌲🐾 https://t.co/xzLj5EedU8 #STEM #SciComm #Conservation #WritingLife @wwfindia @juggernautbooks @indianpittabooks

Through history, new technologies change warfare. This is happening in Iran-US conflict too. In recent years, cheap, AI-guided weapons and drones have changed warfare dynamics. The reason is AI integration and costs. My latest article in @httweets @ht_ed https://t.co/UEZrPmhNSu

In the age of AI, how difficult is it to work on your own original voice? It's hard, but we should not give up. My voice, is important. And yours is too. Maybe not to business, but definitely to ourselves. For it’s a unique thing you have. And no AI can steal it from you.

BREAKING: Amazon reportedly holds mandatory meeting after “vibe coded” changes trigger major outages.

🚨 Stanford researchers just exposed a weird side effect of AI that almost nobody is talking about. The paper is called “Artificial Hivemind.” And the core finding is unsettling. As language models get better, they also start sounding more and more the same. Not just within a

Used @Google’s workspace studio to create a flow for everyday summary of headlines. Today morning, the #AIAgent sent me headlines from 2024. A different war, different concerns.

While the larger world seems to be going to pieces , you can still find joy in understanding the small elements of nature. https://t.co/XEHXEg5Cyr @juggernautbooks @shwetawrites

#Delhi come over tomorrow evening to celebrate my new wild book with me. There's a panel on how wild poop helps scientists with @PrachiThatte and @nehaa_sinha. Then there's a quiz! It's perfect for weird kids and adults Location: @WWFINDIA office: https://t.co/AZmdBZCOdW

This is so hilarious. Nothing can make Sam and Dario hold hands, not even the Prime Minister of India!

Delhi folks, come meet me this Friday? @nehaa_sinha and Prachi are panelling and giggling with me to launch my new book on wild poop at the @WWFINDIA office. Come over?
