A rape accusation can end in two different ways: either the allegation cannot be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, or it is proven that the accuser deliberately lied, fabricated details, or intentionally hid material facts. In the latter case, the accuser should face prison time.

In the end, every political tribe eventually trades truth for applause from its own crowd. Then the same people turn around and mock MAGA like they’ve somehow escaped the exact same disease.

Isn’t it amazing? How far decent people will go when they’re sure they’re right?

So many times I write a tweet and delete it before posting, especially about international politics. Not because I don’t believe it, but because I wonder who might see it and what it could cost me. The freedom to say what you think without fear is seriously underrated.

A man got drunk and high and decided he was going to give away $100 to any woman that wanted some cash. When he sobered up, he decided to report a robbery.

I find it so disrespectful when people whisper to each other in a meeting while someone is presenting. I would find it so awkward if I were presenting & some people were constantly talking in each other’s ears. We should all learn some basic meeting etiquette.

I want to tell you about a number that broke my brain yesterday. 899 runs in 11 ODI innings. That is what Virat Kohli has done recently. Sounds impossible, right? Wait! He once made almost 1000 runs in just 10 innings(995 runs to be precise) . That is a man rewriting what human beings are allowed to do with a cricket bat. But here is the thing that actually made me sit down and stare at the wall. Take any stretch of innings. Any! From 10 to 50 to 100 to 200 to 375. Pick one at random. Kohli has more runs in that stretch than anyone else who has ever played this game. He has not even played 375 ODIs. He might never play 375 ODIs. The record exists in a future that has not hapkened yet and he already owns it. But numbers are not why I am writing this random post. He said something after West Indies game. He said he got a challenge to unlock a new version. To up the ante. To play a gear higher. His ODI blueprint was already perfect. Everyone said so. You cannot improve on perfection. But he did. He is hitting aerial shots now, straight away, as soon as he walks in. No settling period. No getting stuck against spin. No weakness for any software to find. If you fed his batting into most advanced analysis program on earth and asked for one flaw, one tiny crack, the machine would probably overheat and shut down. He made 139* off 88 balls. His 3rd fastest century. 15000 runs ticked off like it was nothing. Like it was just another Sunday. What gets me is not the numbers. It is the refusal. refusal to be finished. refusal to let age decide when his story ends. He could have walked away years ago, rich and famous and untouchable. Instead he chose to keep evolving, keep working, keep finding that extra gear when everyone assumed all the gears were already used up. Because we have watched the other Virat too. The angry one, the one carrying the whole country on his back, the one who never let himself breathe. Somewhere in these 20 years he learnt to put that weight down. And the runs only got louder when he did. He plays with a free mind now. That is what he says. And you can see it. The joy is back. violence is controlled. hunger is still there, burning quidtly under everything. Some players retire and become memories. Kohli is becoming something else. Something we do not have a word for yet. He is not playing cricket anymore. He is composing a love letter to the game and we are lucky enough to read it as he writes.

Zamil is a villain for girls, and rightly so. But Abu Bakar is a villain for us men because apparently, he’s such a cuck that he’s willing to marry a woman who was ready to leave him right before their nikkah to go back to her ex who cheated on her.

Europe is better for personal growth than career growth. You're literally and metaphorically taxed for being ambitious.

My controversial opinion is that people who see their friends’ posts, go through all the pictures & still don’t leave a like are inherently jealous, insecure or just unhappy people. Why wouldn’t you? If I see a post from my friend, why the fuck would I not be happy & like?

Finally Sialkot is in news for a good reason ❤️🙌

Hate it when an app makes you sign up and answer 30 questions before telling you that you need to pay to use it. It comes across as such a scam that I’ll uninstall it even if I would’ve paid. You don’t need my contact details before telling me your app isn’t free.

Sometimes therapy feels like a mechanism through which every asshole in the world gets some sort of justification for their asshole behaviour instead of simply being told that they are an asshole.

Petrol is almost €2.75/litre in the NL, gas reserves are at record lows, & winter is coming. This is what happens when you are a hollow power with nothing to back it up. It is going to be a long and painful winter for Europeans. #netherlands #europe

The Dutch royal family’s budget for this year is almost €62 million. The king & queen will receive €1.5 million in salary in 2027. This is one aspect of Western democracy I can never grasp. Like, what the fuck is this? Why are taxpayers paying for a monarchy in 2026?

Weird that OpenAI only allows 5 scheduled tasks for the plus subscription. Is there a significant amount of extra compute or infra overhead required for running these tasks? I think this limit can be more relaxed. 5 is just too low. #openai #chatgpt

Dario has written that we need to “pace the frontier,” and Sam has agreed. People may be surprised by my response: go ahead. You guys are the frontier. By any reasonable metric — market share, revenue growth, model capability — the two of you have a duopoly on frontier intelligence. You’ve also claimed the lead is widening because of recursive self-improvement. I don’t see what you see in the lab. If the unreleased models are scary enough that you think you should slow down, I support your decision to be responsible. But stop pretending you need anyone else’s permission. Stop pretending antitrust law has to be suspended so you can form a cartel. Stop pretending you need a regulatory approval process that supersedes product liability. Stop pretending METR is independent when it is intertwined with Anthropic’s investors and staff. Stop pretending you need those same evaluators to police competitors who aren’t even at the frontier. Most of all, stop pretending the motivation to slow down is purely altruistic. You face massive product-liability exposure if your products enable a truly damaging cyberattack. The market already punishes models that behave in unpredictable or unauthorized ways. After the Hugging Face episode, it is simply good business for OpenAI and Anthropic to trade some raw power for reliability and predictability. Call it alignment if you want. It is also just giving customers what they want. Pacing the frontier would also create breathing room for a more intelligent conversation about regulation than Bernie Sanders’ “shut it all down.” China is very unlikely to join a global agreement, as you know, and that has to be taken into account as well. So go ahead and pace the frontier. You are the ones setting it. The easiest way not to build superintelligence is for you to agree not to build it. Demanding your preferred regulatory framework as the price of that will look like blackmail of the public and the political system. So just do it. If you do, you’ll buy goodwill for the next conversation. If you don’t, we’ll know this was just another bid for regulatory capture — or an election-season psyop.

The biggest learning for me from this OpenAI maths fiasco is that these companies use our data, anonymised maybe, to train their models even when we’re on a paid plan. Wasn’t the whole point of paying them money to avoid having our data used for training? #openai

I hate how so many Pakistanis, especially women, villainise relatives like Phuppo, Dada and Dadi to their kids while romanticising Mamu, Nani and Khala. It creates lifelong divisions. You think you are doing your kids a service? Absolutely fucking hate this mindset.

"Wasting a single byte per entry costs more than 250 gigabytes of memory across our fleet." A nice reminder that at scale, the basics matter more than ever. Small improvements, correct types, merged fields, and the right data structures can lead to massive gains. Loved the blog.
