“How much power is enough power,
particularly now when data is power!
What's the point of power and data,
if they just empower criminal behavior!”

“Technology is inevitable, AI is inevitable - first it's basic algorithm, now it's Generative AI, later it's AI agents, afterwards, physical AI. And we can do nothing about it, what we can do is, make sure that the step-up for AI is not a step-down for humans - we gotta make sure that as machines are upgraded from lifeless devices to automatons with pretend-sentience, human mind isn't downgraded to obsolescence.”

“I waited in the kitchen and watched as a bright morning sun swept through the rooms. It would briefly catch on the part of the window that was not filthy, or a patch of carpet near the trim that had not been trampled by decades of stomping feet, and these things were transformed as if in some Cinderella story; dust particles shone like shooting stars caught in an upstream. I wanted to catch that light, to be purified in it and become a better version of myself.”

“Naskar Constitution of GenAI (Sonnet)
At times I'm hard on AI,
at times I'm lenient,
I have just one law on AI,
keep the human at the center,
and be transparent.
Use AI to empower life,
don't abuse AI to ruin life.
AI must orbit humanity,
not turn humanity into a lie.
Don't make the same mistake
with AI as organized religion did,
by destroying human agency.
Once out, AI is here to stay,
but there are meaningful ways
to use AI instead of cheap forgery.
AI may assist, when the human awakens;
machine may speak, what the mind has written.
After I'm gone, you're welcome to clone
my image and voice, but never put words
in my mouth that I've never written.”
