Flowers of Calotropis gigantea known as Arakku in Malayalam & Madar in Hindi are used for rituals in pooja /worship by Hindus who practice Dharma. The flowers stay fresh for a long period. Calotropis gigantea is also an endangered species which needs to be protected.

If AI is not sentient as stated in this interview, what logic was used to term machine errors in the AI industry, whether inadvertent or deliberate as hallucinations? Hallucinations r felt experiences by humans who r sentient beings. All hallucinations r not deliberately induced.

Google’s Bard chatbot recommended and then summarized five books. 60 Minutes checked, and the books weren't real.
In the AI industry, this type of error is called a “hallucination.” cbsn.ws/3o8FDFy

Society never pays the price. On the other hand society extracts a vicious toll on the person w/MI disability & the loved one giving care. All children in India do not live in orphanages on state support. The person w/MI does not live in a vacuum either.
Quote Tweet
In India alone, WHO predicted the economic loss due to mental health for the period 2012 -2030 would stand at around US$1.03 trillion.
The financial costs of mental illness are vast and continue to rise, affecting individuals, businesses, and governments alike.
#mentalhealth
Blaming the patient isn't fair when it is the deteriorating social norms w/intent 2 harm the person w/mental illness that r responsible 4 the person w/MI being discriminated against. Lack of access 2 inpatient beds, dearth in provision of quality care, support have been left out.
Quote Tweet
Mental illness is still widely stigmatized in India, and many people with mental health issues are reluctant to seek help due to the fear of being judged or discriminated against.

When is making a film on Jubin Baby, Mariya, elders running Anbu Jothi Ashram @ Villupuram, Tamil Nadu, India? It could be named Omen # after some confabulations considering such titles as Aashram, The Karma Killings are already exhausted.

Bitter India (is the blue tick the sifarrish/recommendation type?) buttering up to elites some w/Hindu names. Address the animal cruelty involved in domesticating dogs, horses using collars & harnesses which is strangely not even acknowledged as animal cruelty in some cultures.

Query from an ordinary citizen to Shri ji -
Is there any law governing robots/Artificial Intelligence/AI in India? One robot has made a Trojan horse entry into the precincts of a temple in Kerala, India. What law will prevail were this robot to harm humans?

Beloved robot elephant Raman is near indistinguishable from real elephants. Take a look!

Shame on those running Irinjadappilly Sree Krishna temple for giving in foolishly to anti-Hindu forces that deride traditional knowledge, then usurp it for themselves for profit. Will replace live horses w/robotic horses in polo on the pretext of animal cruelty?

Hope the esteemed orators will take out some time to discuss the recent tragedy of the Health Minister Mr Naba Das involving ASI Gopal Das & whether the ASI had a supportive environment to talk about his mental illness with his colleagues/seniors in the Odisha police.

Reality in Singapore-the number of students from India who go on scholarship 2 Singapore for studying Class XI and XII & end up having breakdowns. Despite some of these students having relatives in India who are journalists, the stories of these students haven't been chronicled.

Very illuminating statement from book toting/writing Mr RVS Mani that whether it was simply a case of loss of mental balance is to be determined by the Crime Branch investigation.
DId this 'mental health patient' as emphasized by news anchor -> Odisha Polce ASI Gopal Das have any support at all from his colleagues/seniors in the Odisha police before this preventable tragedy took place ?
Surprising why did not ask this question.
The mainstream media in India would attribute such deaths to stigma, caste etc. Besides hasn't India copied such laws of privacy w/o ensuring the support systems as are available in UK which themselves proved inadequate as in this case of Laura Winham?

20 yrs ago message boards moderated in Canada used 2 offer so much hope instead of this dystopia. Lives of persons w/schizophrenia/serious mental illnesses could b saved w/messages exchanged by those giving care on the other side of the world.

Canada's flirtation with assisted dying has gone well beyond mercy for the very ill. Officials want children to be able to access the service without the consent of their parents along with people suffering from non-terminal mental health issues.

Its a fallacy that upper caste diets exclude garlic & onion. My paternal grandfather, an Iyer who maintained a separate kitchen from his fish consuming wife with whom he had a love marriage, used garlic in rasam & shallots in sambhar. #diversity #Brahmins
