Look..this situation was and is not what it seems.

Unfortunately a lot of these guys have strongly fascistic instincts and bending to those never works. It may not work to not bend to them. But after all this, I am not caving.

But I am not actually a loose cannon or a ventriloquist’s puppet. I am on the left, but I do not like stupidity…genuine stupidity, lack of self awareness and lack of context awareness.

I am fortunate in not having met many male creeps and so I brush off as annoying and lame and internet bullshit a lot of stuff.

Once you are in the real world it is different and

Oh dammit. Alright fine.

I am cautious in my dealings with groups, especially as they get large. That is not my scene.

What I was trying to communicate is that, the reason I don’t join groups and find this imperious autocrat type like this billionaire I dislike the most of all billionaires is that except my academic groups or doctors (all people with some actual connection to my life as a person who is never ever going to get an income stream or be genuinely associated..this thing aside and okay an outlying amount of marijuana..with anything but my field even if I end up having to leave it).


You need to think. My family has owned these three pieces pf property for 150-200 years. There is no way I am just handing them over to some tech creeps. This is a race to the bottom and I refuse all connection with that stuff. Because it is not actually about undocumented immigrants and Christians etc. It would not be this shitty if it was. Thats a corporate fig leaf pf fake solidarity not actual prison reform.

Secondly, I am not a fool. I am well to the left in ways I consider sane. And I don’t expect any smearing anymore.

But I am not pacific. I am not going to get baited by the kinds of bullshit pseudoconflicts on or offline that fuel the web.

But to genuinely be this clueless but sign up for all these things is mindboggling stupid. It shows a profound lack of understanding of humans and that is not coming from doctors or scientists or cybersecurity.
It is coming from this gaming and ai type and no. Settle down “bro”. I never accuse people of being misogynistic in dealings with me. I start out accusing people of stupidity in not having enough self awareness about how people come off to genuinely neutral outsiders.

So you can go around declaring this and that, but I should go and mechanically stand in a queue or wait as a sitting duck.
That’s not gonna happen.

I will honestly and overtly use every real resource I have and people tend to find me credible in person.

Throughout this period, it is people basically indicating that I am too difficult and yeah I suppose. But I am not difficult in ways that actually drag other people down with me and I am not so rigid and 😤. But it isn’t arbitrary and it is non negotiable when it is about ol’ jfz9580m’s rights!

My mom and I didn’t preserve this as a green space so you can sell some bullshit birdsong for depression app or angry birds real world. Those are terrible ideas.

If it is on my property a set of reasonably strict constraints and concessions that don’t screw me over (IT IS MY DAMN HOME!)

Most people have no understanding of science at even a gut level. These LLMs are garbage.

I get more out of “gift of fear” type scanning the web to see where this collective insane zeitgeist most relevant to me is headed..


If you are an honest, non creepy conservative contractor -WHO IS ACTUALLY GOOD AT SCIENCE- I may cooperate some.

My dad was a military vet here in India and I will to the Indian Navy- the guys competent ans modern enough to get the security risks ans to have an updated concept of human behavior.

But it is not all game theory. I am a wild card!
If what happened Madhav Gadgil’s Western Ghat report, then I am taking it to court. Unless you have scientists like Henrik Mouritsen, Peter Thore and WITHOUT ANY SEXUAL HARASSMENT ALLEGATIONS or CREEPY TENDENCIES etc. Again, it is my home.
One person who was improving is dead. And I lost years to this and all I can get back as the person I am is that it MUST be good honest science in my book.
Religion is a private thing. Games etc are.

The earth sciences are not bullshit. You are not growing or developing a damn thing using me or my property. Do not shill this trash as prison reform. Because that is bullshit.

If I am not convinced that it is good science ans honest governance (it is not honest to pretend that I have a mental illness or am stupid or an addict etc) then I will go to all ny family who will believe me and The Indian Navy etc.

But you are not getting away with any imperious bs and I don’t claim to be sympathetic and oppressed etc.

I am sorry. I often cannot guage the precise level of human dishonesty and stupidity I am dealing with.

But if you are dealing with me, I suggest you pull your bs together.


;-/. Sorry everyone else. These guys tend to be pretty fascistic though thankfully the creepiness was less than fascistic stupidity
and this is on the net, but it is real life.

Not a cartoon conflict and I suggest you shape up on your ends. Whoever the fascists were and are. Maybe there are none! There totally are..

But i may not “win”, but I will not cave to this bullshit. I have to go work. I should take my journal down at somepoint. But not right now..I have a headache..

It is not EarlG’s fault-I was …I had a disease..or 20…
I have to go work..I am not taking my journal down, though I totally support EarlG if he has to ban me. I would not affect DU negatively and I totally back this community getting support because they are cool. You will look like assholes and fools. Don’t do that.

This about corporations versus human life and earth as more and more junk no one wants or needs proliferates.
I do have to go finish this paper..but this phase is over. But accountability for the ai etc typez not me, is on the cards.

I fully support my labs..I saw not one data or other scientist who does not take their job seriously enough fit for this.
But some opaque thing filled with the types these scoundrels (hey..if the shoe fits) hire..ABSOLUTELY NOT.
It would be all creeps and hucksters


I don’t trust anyone with stuff this ott without a clear governmental and other contract that is viable constitutionally in a democracy. That may take a little longer but those are the rules. And nothing involving people like Vinod Khosla or Elon Musk or Ambani orAdani will go unchecked.
And I may file complaints if I find it unconstitutional and unconvincing. Because those are not jokes. Lina Khan was a really good person re tech regulation. Nothing sourced to a person like Vinod Khosla would be permitted anywhere near me. I have genuine disdain only for that type of imperious nouveau riche sleazebag. As an example of what will be locked out with every type of liability on the table from my side.

I don’t get this sycophancy to crass wealthy people who shout everyone down. This Khosla person would have zero status in my home. A contemptible man I would dismiss as the worst of even the generally sleazy business and entrepreneur community these days.

I am not entirely unreasonable - a lot of my thought processes are about looking for some kind of balance. If ai is with oversight by Yan LeCun/Timnit Gebru/DAIR/Emily Bender it is one thing.
But there is no way that can be scaled up. They are rare.

I think like a middleclass, white collar scientist not a lunatic. And No Kings applies above all to this collection of sleazebags: Vinod Khosla (a person I have infinite contempt for..It is a common name-I meant the sleazy billionaire ); Mark Cuban,

I have populist instincts which is why I break DU’s TOS by accidentally seemingly supporting Hawley..But even that is sourced to balance.
I am not American, but if I was I would be voting democratic (holding my nose or not). But since I am not American, I should not ..it would be wrong both actually and legally to influence things so I have hedged by bets legal risk for EarlG wise by …That kind of cancels out. You have a crazy two party system and Hawley looks like the best bet of that GOP type and ..well I don’t want to break TOS.
But I would never vote for a GOP candidate if I was American and have no comments on the Democratic party. But Hawley is a Republican who has some …you have to give it to him that with the electricity prices/pbm he has some populist instincts, but I am not backing Hawley..
Were I American, I would be democrat. That seems to legally cancel out. Though it totally looks like I am risk assessing by backing Hawley. Thats not about racism. It is about populism.

I cannot possibly use this bullshit to go and shmooze etc. And I more worried about creeps like Vincent Palathingal (Hawley’s far creepier and stupider fellow traveller..if you are a white christian male, I have no idea how such people think. But I am from Kerala and I know exactly what Palathingal is and I would go to the police if he ever had access to anything of mine).

So this was hard on me. I saw a piece on Harjinder Singh - rant don’t repair. I cannot do that. I do have to go work. I don’t feel very good when I don’t work.
But I am leaving this here, because I am Not caving.
I am not even calling for socialism etc.

It is true that almost all the people I respect and like are like Yasha/Bernie etc.
But in the real world one makes many sane compromises.
But i wasn’t thrown into this by callous or careless humans.
You have to respect an organism’s nature to get what you want with ease. Manipulation etc are bs. You may seem to control peoppe whose free will you clampdown openly or covertly.

I would suggest that fights are not picked with me. Not because I can defeat you in chess or hand to hand combat. But I do understand humans since I am not an asshole.

It grated on me to play the fool or crazy and it wasn’t funny (except when it was ;-/..but that is with people I like and I even have a low bar for average stuff-dont be creep/sleazebag/asshole or bully and I have even off and on tried to relax the asshole thing since the other three are non negotiable, which means in these slim pickings …)
I am not a communist etc. I am not sure what I am: well..an Environmentalist/Scientist/Animal Rights supporter and generally on the Left/left/whatever Matt Stoller is.

But you cannot break the web of life using my property. Organisms exist for their own sake..not to help build obscene dragonfly weapons or early warning systems with Intelligent Design. It would not even work.
So don’t pull this shit anymore and I will use every kind of muscle I have if you anger me.

I have tried to be nice. Do not push it..
It is politically useless if you are right wing to try to use force. I dont go to protests etc.
I hate Vinod Khosla because he understands that Lina Khan is the real threat to a fascist like him.
These coalitions of people who hate each other are a bad idea. Look at me and my dearest friend Shyam Sankar. I sympathize Shyam..not easy to be a nonwhite conservative in America and if you are inclined that way, no amount of hectoring can change people ;-/. But you need to tell your friends Shyam who not to fuck with and that is broadly what I have to say.

I am not a girlboss or a pill. But I don’t like to be swindled or dealt with fascistically and save your rot. I can give up. But I do what I want to do trying not to be a huge nuisance. But going along with whatever everyone else is doing without any idea why,how etc. That is how these guys are configuring things and that won’t work.

In my house, everyone from people who are indigent or workers are treated with respect. If Vinod Khosla was on the premises, I would order him off disdainfully..and I am not even rude to telemarketers. I don’t send food back 50 times. But you don’t get to implement some kind of new and equally idiotuc aristocracy.


You can make this work or it is a really unpleasant fight. Your call…


Do not fuck with me ;-/…

That is my last post because clearly I have now thanks to balance self-neutralised wrt politics that do not directly concern me.

But I am leaving this up and emailing EarlG and going offline.
Good show;-/.
I will always be a DU member, but its all pretty heated and I shall focus on ensuring this doesnt get forced through here in Kerala.

I need to see some specifics and ID. No yimbies. I see not one thing I would allow my home to be used for except well whetted earth sciences first (earth first babe! It is my bloody house) and ai only when at scale it wouldn’t suck.
This data should go to Yan Lecun/Timnit Gebru/DAIR/Emily Bender/Ryan Williams and Rollo Carpenter if they want it. But this cannot carry on at scale like this.


This is not an entrepreneur friendly zone. My parents were honest govt servants and I was a publicly funded scientist and now a citizen scientist but I have no patience with histrionics or fools. Damn Idiocracy and you made a mistake in taking me for a fool. Dont do that again. I especially disliked everything I saw in 2014 except for Surface Evolver. I don’t want this type of immigration near me.
I support a few small businesses-Meethi Kahani, Whole Truth Foods and the Indian marijuana or psychedelics industries MINUS ai/gaming/data mining etc. And
That Indian entrepreneur crowd I can’t stand and don’t want anywhere near my home/street or life or the Indian government has a real problem on it’s hands.

And I do not live in Lala Land. Don’t bs to me that it is just a small thing. It is widespread and go to hell..who do you creeps think you fool?

I am filing some complaints with facts which I will need once I am out in the real world again. Don’t expect to get away with anything.

I can organize. I just need to finish this damn paper.
Again don’t go by this market or election cycle. Life goes on and on and it is about the long game..What is good science and medicine? What is democracy?

Not “I have a bunch of money and this is trending and I fart into gold toilets because I am Vinod Khosla, one of the dumbest assholes anywhere, and democracy is irrelevant to me or my creepy sleazy Indian fellow travellers like Indira Nooyi (gender parity ;-/)/Ambani/Adani/Shalab Kumar/Vincent Palathingal/Suhail Doshi/Mitesh Bohra/Vivek Ramaswamy etc”.

That’s it ..I have to go offline to work.

Don’t start more fights with me or use my stuff without permission ever again. And don’t leak my name etc because that would be very annoying and I will find you and mock you in front of a crowd if you do. And I don’t want to be in a gladiator arena with a moron…

It is kinda ingenious that I am far from the centres of the worst turmoil. I have paid my goddamn dues to anything sane and suffered more incredible stupidity than any one human should alone..It wasn’t a big deal. I am not easily traumatized. But I did learn from it.

I will be offline..don’t build or make anything using my property or me that I will take to criminal court and don’t try to bully me into submission and don’t go around my back.

Also, I am really nice…well I dislike girl bosses and cracking the whip etc too. Not my style. But I don’t come and take advantage of you. Don’t dare try to take advantage of me. These debates are all so dishonest and such bullshit that I too used to be confused about how to cut through the bs (it only clicked properly yesterday…it is that stupid 100 years of ai thing..and what I have seen in india so far warrants nothing but complaints from my side whether it is PRS Hospital when my mom died there or anything I saw in 2014). I have no issues up to Dec 2011. The Stanford Hospital sucks and should be avoided imo.

The Woods Institute is the sole part of Stanford I truly like. That is all..
