1/11 🚨 Air India 171: Despite Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu saying on May 20 that the crash investigation was in its "final stages" and a report was expected soon, a final report before June 12 now appears increasingly unlikely.
Why?
Because one of the parties to the investigation - UK AAIB - says it has not received a draft copy of the report from India's AAIB. @DGCAIndia @aaibgovuk

2/11 Under @icao Annex 13, draft final reports are normally circulated to participating states before publication so they can review and comment.
The UK AAIB, US @NTSB, Canada's TCCA and Europe's @EASA are all parties to the AI171 investigation.
UK AAIB principal inspector Geraint Hebert told families:
"I recently asked AAIB India if there was an update on when the report might be published but they did not give a date."
He also confirmed that UK AAIB had not received a draft report.

3/11 This is where things took a strange turn.
I asked NTSB the same question.
Not: "Who caused the crash?"
Not: "What are your findings?"
Just: "Have you received a draft copy of the report?"
@NTSB invented new ICAO Annex 13 rules to justify its stonewalling and refusal to answer a simple "Yes" or "No question.
NTSB's Peter Knudson, "You don't seem to understand the restrictions of ICAO Annex 13."
Apparently I had wandered into an international legal minefield by asking whether a PDF existed.

So, I decided to use Gemini today instead of Grok to analyze, stress test and concept build off my theories today and it was quite entertaining overall. I especially enjoyed this 4th wall break at the end when I told the system that I was the original creator of the theories it had been analyzing and profiling.

Annamalai’s move is a significant landmark in modern political entrepreneurship. It reflects how tough and entrenched the Deep State ecosystem has become, and how Dharmic forces are responding with some agility.
Here’s my take on @annamalai_k resignation and what I expect next

It's naive to think this shows a rift between AK and BJP. Nor do I believe the TN BJP is so compromised that it would AK lose hope.
The game is different. AK is challenging the equation created by the DS. See the context below, and I will share my views on how this will unfold.

The signals were there. DS tried everything in their textbook before finally shifting to TVK win.
I wrote in 2024 that the shift of EPS was towards joining hands with DMK to stop Annamalai. I did say EPS was responsible for AK's loss in Coimbatore.

Your laptop takes a screenshot every 60 seconds.
Not a feature you enabled. Not a setting you agreed to.
Microsoft built it. Microsoft turned it on. Microsoft is rolling it out to more laptops every month.
It's called ''Recall'' and it's been quietly capturing everything on millions of Windows screens since 2024. 🧵

Microsoft Recall captures everything on your screen, every 60 seconds.
Not metadata. Not summaries. Full screenshots.
Every email you read. Every banking session. Every password manager autofill. Every private message. Every medical record you reviewed. Every encrypted chat that's only "encrypted" until it appears on your screen.
All of it captured, by default, every minute the device is on.
The screenshots are stored in a local database Microsoft calls "snapshots."
The original implementation stored them in plain, unencrypted form on the laptop's hard drive sitting in a folder any other user account, malware, or person with physical access could read.
This wasn't a bug.
This was the design.

When the world found out, the backlash was historic.
In May 2024, Microsoft announced Recall as the headline feature of its new "Copilot+ PC" line.
Security researchers tested it within hours of launch.
What they found was worse than anyone expected:
1. ''No encryption'' on the snapshot database
2. ''No authentication'' required to access it
3. Plain-text storage of passwords, credit card numbers, and private messages captured from on-screen content
4. ''No filtering'' that actually worked passwords typed into "secure" fields still appeared in screenshots
One researcher, Kevin Beaumont, demonstrated that he could **extract 50,000 screenshots from a Copilot+ PC in under 4 minutes** using a tool he built called "TotalRecall."
The story dominated tech news for weeks. Microsoft delayed the launch. Recall was paused.
Most users assumed that was the end of it.
It wasn't.

Mediocre scientists and engineers are a thorn in the eye, and I'm glad AGI will get rid of these parasites. Maybe it's just me, but I'm truly offended by the Dunning-Kruger types that fill dummy sites like this one with their tacky "insights" and absolutely vacuous pseudoscientific or psedudotechnical "mystical" nonsense from their annoying and juvenile pseudonymous accounts.
Just recently, I realized that a fake mathematician had been stalking me with many fake accounts bringing up his extremely foolish and irrelevant ideas about AI (I think he was from METU math department which only produces nonces). Nothing is more insufferable than an incompetent mathematician or physicist, please do not make it your character to waste our precious time with your silly LLM psychosis and zenodo pubs. This keeps happening on this godsaken site so I thought I'd make a plea. You can probably impress a non-technical person by winging it and speaking techno babble but a scientist will get offended by your performance art about how stupid and ignorant you are.

You can probably impress a non-technical person by winging it and speaking techno babble but a scientist will get offended by your performance art about how stupid and ignorant you are.
If you're a scientist you HAVE to be professional and respectful in your scientific communication. It's not optional. You can't just make dumb claims about subjects you've made 0 contributions to. I noticed this is the case mostly for people outside CS/EE, they seem to seriously believe they understand our subjects better than we do. Well, I don't think so? Is this CS envy? Work on your own field. Too bad you'll never achieve something significant in AI or CS because that's not your field. Go away and do your own thing, or if you decide to work on AI, be a little respectful towards the researchers who take the field forward. We actually do not need uninformed opinions that amount to noise. Likewise for LLMs, listen and learn chatbots. Without us, you wouldn't even exist. 😁
For instance, there is this chemistry PhD student I recently talked about. Cristina Castro or some other commie name. This person apparently thinks she is somehow on par with CS researchers on the task of accomplishing AGI, and she seemed to believe her anonymous "hacker" friends were the real ones achieving AGI. This was just such an extremely delusional claim that I had to block her. It's really upsetting that people will not be able to follow very basic rules of scientific ethics, you can't just casually insult a researcher whose work you understand nothing about like that just because you are envious and irrational, if that were your own subject, you would be so much offended if someone outside your field claimed to know your sub-field of expertise so well, at least better than you, implying your years of studying and contributions amount to nothing. Well, it almost always comes from the least informed, doesn't it? Chatbots, inexperts, outsiders, and the non-technical alike, if you are not well-versed in the technical expertise regarding a specialization, it's really the best to listen patiently and learn as we ourselves did back in the day, if you are foolishly "trolling" or doing some antisocial behavior you learned on godforsaken sites like this *regarding our contributions*, you will get blocked, you should be grateful that we even reserved our time. First, learn to act like a human being, second, learn to act like a professional scientist. We usually welcome the banter but not so much as to interfere in the grand work!
Though the most offensive behavior is, I noticed, a bunch of people using fake accounts to try to get into your network and somehow best you in their minds. I don't know of a more weasel kind of behavior on a social network site. If you're such a coward that you have to use a fake account to talk to someone who doesn't use a fake account and then use several such fake accounts to try to get to someone or to harass him, you deserve some kind of response I think, but the usual response is just blocking.

More thoughts on Obernolte-Trahan / The Great American AI Act…
Will note flaws inherited from state laws, a win on minimum standards, and start on audits, though won’t finish - many moving parts there.
Bracketing preemption / other stuff that’s not my area of expertise🧵

GAAIA follows the copy/paste model taken by the states so far - SB 53 from CA gets copied to NY and extended a bit for RAISE, that gets copied to IL and extended a bit.
Same deal here (to avoid relitigating stuff) but that has some costs we should be aware of.

E.g.: the 10^26 threshold, which was mentioned as an illustrative idea in the paper Frontier AI Regulation and then stuck, also shows up here. Likewise for the revenue trigger stuff.
Two problems with this (not saying they are deal breakers but we should be aware):
