Thread: One "anti-AI" dude stopped talking with me because I said accountability shouldn't be primarily directed at disadvantaged individuals with low resources who use LLMs because they have no support from the family, society, employer, or state. Instead, these technologies should be regulated, dismantled, or modified. He said that the use of LLM-powered toolsets by disabled persons was a "red line" for him, even if such use was occasional, limited, and carried "marginal good" for the user.+

I happened to walk past the office of a matrimonial/ matchmaking bureau today. The sign outside read that they are specialists in "divorce" and "delayed marriage." I know what that actually means but it's still hilarious.

The mascot of Indian roads. (The driver cribbed about Uber underpaying them.)

I once rode an auto-rickshaw with a "Yumraj is back" sticker on its front windscreen. (Yumraj is the Hindu God of death.)

It's somewhat challenging to explain to non-Indians that Stalin is the real name of a sitting Chief Minister and we have real persons named Che. (See my previous post for context.) I am acquainted with one Stalinjeet whose name literally means 'Victory of Stalin.'

I just read the Karnataka government's "draft policy for responsible digital use among students" (for minors). The ex-child in me is appalled. So is the adult.

(The deadline for submissions in response to this draft, I believe, is April 18.)

Did the dear leader really hint in Parliament that a lockdown-like situation is coming thanks to the energy crisis and war? I don't know how to cook on a coal or firewood stove. I don't even know where to get coal or firewood from.

Good people of the fediverse, what is a good collaborative task-list app for a neurodivergent team (dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and autism)?

Preferably a free one. Preferably no LLM integration. No Meta products.
