I didn’t sleep well so I wrote this. The use case of Gen AI in the space of information manipulation and propaganda is reinforcing stereotypes. It’s a quick blog. Issue #6: Reinforcing stereotypes themonolith.medium.com/issue-6-rein...

I talk about an idea that has been brewing in my mind for several years. I believe that the film certification board has infantilised our idea of cinema by creating these artificial barriers made of convention and norms. Issue #5: An unlikely savior themonolith.medium.com/issue-4-an-u...

If you’re based in the EU and you’re mutual, please drop a “Hi”. Need some quick help.

It seems The Verge team is not active here

Shouldn’t his name be pronounced as Nee-Lay Patel and not Nee-Lie Patel? If I’m getting this wrong, I blame it on the fact that I’m from the Northeast

I have a blog in case anyone is interested 🙏🏽

Here's the third entry of my blog. I write that Big Tech is killing independent research through its decisions. Just take into account what Meta has done to CrowdTangle or what Twitter did with its API. Read here themonolith.medium.com/issue-3-big-...

Respectfully, Ayo comes across as a total Bhojpuri babe.

Ayo Edebiri and Quinta Brunson are so Uttar Pradesh-coded [they’re naturally funny]

1/n: On Eid, I spoke with Mid Day about Community Notes [CN] and the challenges it might face in India. In the following posts, I will elaborate on some of the points:

Really enjoyed the latest episode of Hard Fork. I appreciate the fact that @caseynewton.bsky.social and Kevin spoke to the kids like adults and didn’t dismiss anything that they had to say.

City officials across the globe are discussing whether they want pedestrian-first city or car-centric cities. But in India, it’s neither. Sometimes the municipality will dig up the road and if they get bored, they will dig up the footpath. We are anti mobile.

Opinion: I write, "Engaging in fear-driven dialogue, particularly regarding AI-assisted disinformation, is fruitless without addressing the structural issues in our communication infrastructure."

Is generative AI truly making disinformation worse?www.euronews.com Without tackling existing flaws within our current ecosystem, we are creating a fertile ground where disinformation and other harmful phenomena will continue to flourish, Kalim Ahmed writes.

I delivered my very first in-person OSINT workshop this week. Very proud of the module that I created, it was a cumulation of years of my own work and struggles when I was navigating this space and community.

This government attempts to block everything by default unless proven otherwise. Proton does store some metadata within the company that can help with the investigation, you just have to use the proper legal means to get that information. It's not rocket science.

IT ministry looks to block Proton Mail on request of Tamil Nadu policewww.hindustantimes.com The IT ministry decided to issue an order blocking the end-to-end encrypted email service at the request of TN police over a hoax bomb threat sent to 13 schools

IndiaSky users please amplify

A thread of all the prominent Twitter/X accounts that have been withheld in India as the farmers’ protest resumed this week. 1/n

Journalist Sandeep Singh's account has been withheld in India. Joining long list of voices that are covering the farmers' protest from the ground.

Just found out that the Indian legacy publication, The Hindu is now active on BlueSky. Please give them a follow. @thehindu.com

The farmers' protests in India have resumed. This would be a true test to judge whether BlueSky is actually a viable replacement.

Muslims and Christians facing continuous attacks by mobs in India does not even make it to global news. It’s so depressing.

We still need videos and DMs to make it viable for journalists

I have two dumb questions related to Apple Vision Pro: 1. What happens if you have oily skin or you have to moisturize heavily cause of dry skin? Wouldn't it leave a lot of prints/smudges and long-time scars on the rims of the device? 2. Does it have a weather app?

I have attachment issues, I often forget to attach files in my emails

Hello Dr Joan (@bostonjoan.bsky.social) what is the best way to reach out to you? Thank you.

Wish the Bluesky team would announce a road map for 2024, there is not much to look forward to in this app for now

Can someone put me in touch with an editor at Wired? I have some story that would definitely be of their interest and would require several months of work. I’m not sure how many folks still work at the organisation after the recent layoffs
