    Indians Being Deported from USA are treated so inhumanely.

    Glad someone burst the bubble. I am hoping the Chinese parade a 20 year old intern as the inventor. Markov chain on steroids is still a Markov chain. Calling it AI and selling it as a solution to every problem in the world is FTX level stuff. Silicon valley scammers losing money is a good thing.

    Reward for 80 years of subservience. Thanks but no thanks. I would rather pick up some Taliban culture. Someone is finally giving the west punjabis the treatment they deserve.
