Hundreds of workers, including machine operators, technicians and stitching workers, at a textile factory in Nagpur have been asked to wear a small recording device throughout their shift. The exercise reflects a growing global push by artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics companies to gather what’s being called “egocentric data” — first-person recordings of human activity that can teach machines how people perform physical tasks. According to a report by investment firm Stellaris Venture Partners, released in April, robotics labs have a need for 100 million to 1 billion hours of this data over the next 2-3 years. One of the workers, sharing the development with The Indian Express, says: “It feels like working in your own grave, while you make your own casket.” With that, let’s move on to the top stories from today’s edition: Chemistry question paper in NEET leak Bihar’s powerplay in IPL Cow markets in Bengal emptied out 🚨 Big Story An overall match of Chemistry questions in the ‘guess paper’ with the actual NEET paper led the National Testing Agency (NTA) …

In an interview with Russia Today-India ahead of his visit to New Delhi this week, Mr. Lavrov also praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he is one of the most energetic leaders the world has ever seen. “I can guarantee that India’s interests as they apply to Russian supplies will not suffer.

P Chidambaram writes: It is too early to tell

Published by Parlour News

My favourite anecdote about Mao Tse Tung is his answer when asked what will be the impact of the French Revolution on human history. Mao, reportedly, thought for a while and said, “It is too early to tell.” China waits. China is patient. China does not boast that it is the second largest economy in the world or set a date for becoming the largest. These qualities are rare in an emerging powerhouse. On the flip side, China is not a democracy and its people do not enjoy the freedoms that democracies cherish. By contrast, India is, by and large, democratic, as well as noisy and quarrelsome. India also celebrates prematurely. For example, the medals table in the Paris Olympics 2024 read: There were more celebrations in India than in the United States or China. Contrasting announcements The contrast was visible when the agreement between the two countries on ‘patrolling arrangements’ along the Line of Actual Control was announced a few days ago. It is the first breakthrough after the clashes in May 2020. On …
