Oh yeah, I have a short story about this very scenario (well, trying to prevent it from happening). The research was both fun and horrifying?? Mostly horrifying actually. Less fun.

Low Earth orbit is filling up. Not just with #satellites, but also with dangerous, tumbling debris. As they collide, they multiply. If we do nothing, satellites will crash, creating chaos on Earth below. Meet the people trying to prevent this disaster. spectrum.ieee.org/kessler-synd...

#AScareADay - Day 11 - A cursed room in a house... a lady scorned by her lover who marries someone else... it's all very dramatic. I enjoyed the galvanism aspect, used here as a form of early defibrillation. Today, I've written a little necromancy piece in response. I might do something with it later.

Honestly, it’s exhausting that people think Gazans should only ask for help to survive to eat, to stay alive but not to dream, to study, or to rebuild their lives. Wanting education, safety, and a future isn’t greed. It’s being human.

If you have insta you can find him there, DM me for his handle if we are mutuals- I don't want to post it and then have some bad faith prick report him so he gets his account suspended.

Caste supremacists are fascists and genAI is an infoweapon/toy for fascists.

RR📷 @roshn.me · 3d

I am not surprised. Majority of Indian content on the internet have caste biases. Majority of Indian GenAI users also display a caste-biased behavior.
www.technologyreview.com/2025/10/01/1...

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

India is OpenAI’s second-largest market, but ChatGPT and Sora reproduce caste stereotypes that harm millions of people.
