India's 2027 Census To Be All Digital: Pros And Cons

India's Census 2027 will represent a landmark transition to a completely digital exercise. The Census was postponed from 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ministry of Home Affairs confirmed on Tuesday that enumerators will collect data primarily through a mobile app installed on their own smartphones (both Android and iOS), and citizens will also have the option of self-enumeration via a dedicated web portal. The entire operation will be coordinated in real time through the Census Management and Monitoring System (CMMS) portal. Junior Home Minister Nityanand Rai, in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha, said, "It has been decided to conduct Census 2027 through digital means. It is planned to collect data through mobile apps. Respondents may also self-enumerate through a web portal. "The Census process is to be managed and monitored through a dedicated portal. In Census, information of every individual is collected at the place where they are found...

Elon Musk's AI Chatbot Calls Him "Overrated", Billionaire Says "Accurate"

Elon Musk recently unveiled his own artificial intelligence chatbot called Grok. It is the first product of Mr Musk's xAI company and it is trained using real-time data from the X platform. Recently, a user asked the chatbot to roast the billionaire with one word. To their amusement, the AI bot described Mr Musk as "overrated". This caught the attention of the Tesla Chief and he responded to the post saying that Grok is "accurate".

Tesla Owners Silicon Valley took to X, formerly Twitter, and shared a screenshot of their chat with the bot. "Grok roasts Elon Musk in one word : Overrated," reads the caption of the post. The account also added a laughing emoji with it. 

Since being shared, the post has amassed 80,000 views and 943 likes.

"Love Elon's humor," said a user.

"Grok is good," added a person.

A third person remarked, "Grok can be cruel sometimes."

"Interesting perspective! It's always fascinating to see different opinions on someone as prominent as Elon Musk," added a user.

Another added, "And this was the last thing Grok said, before being formatted."

A few days ago, a post by an X user about using the AI chatbot to understand a tweet shared by Elon Musk also caught the attention of the billionaire. In the post, the user, Kris Kashtanova, explained about using Grok to decode a tweet that Mr Musk posted a few days ago. 

"Thanks to Grok we'll understand Elon Musk's post better," Kashtanova wrote while sharing a screenshot of the interaction between her and Grok. The X user used a tweet by Mr Musk about corporate culture as a prompt for the AI chatbot. In response, Grok then came up with a detailed explanation of what the tweet meant. Mr Musk reshared the entire post along with a bullseye emoji. 

Meanwhile, Grok is currently available for a limited audience. Earlier this month, Mr Musk, the tycoon behind SpaceX, revealed details about the AI tool. He said the link-up with X is "a massive advantage over other models" of generative AI. Grok "loves sarcasm. I have no idea who could have guided it this way," the billionaire quipped, adding a laughing emoji to his post.

"Grok" comes from "Stranger in a Strange Land," a 1961 science fiction novel by Robert Heinlein, and means to understand something thoroughly and intuitively.

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...
