The Atomic Energy Act of 1962: How a 60-Year-Old Law Left India Defenseless in the Global Tech Race

India's ambition to become a global tech and manufacturing titan is up against a formidable challenge. It is neither a rival nation nor a market competitor, but something much deeper—its own legal framework. The crisis surrounding rare earth elements (REEs) —minerals essential to everything from iPhones to fighter jets—can be traced back to a single piece of legislation written when the geopolitical landscape was entirely different. India possesses significant geological pot

Wrappedification: Turning Your Shame Into a Share Button

On December 13, Saturday Night Live ran a fake ad for “Uber Eats Wrapped.” It started like the familiar end-of-year dopamine hit, then swerved into humiliation: chicken nuggets “more than 99% of users,” an “Uber Eats age” that was “Dead,” and the real gut-punch, a character discovering he’d spent $24,000 on delivery. The joke wasn’t that the numbers were wrong. The joke was that the numbers were true —and that truth feels different when a company reads it back to you in neo

Memes: The New Currency of Belief

A few decades ago, a joke could ruin your life. In some places, it could even get you killed. Today, a joke can become a financial product. It can raise millions for charity. It can mint a cryptocurrency. It can turn a cartoon cat into a half-million-dollar sale. The big change is not that people suddenly became funnier. The change is that the internet learned how to turn humor into coordination, and coordination into money. When humor was treated like a weapon Power has alwa

Brainrot isn’t just a meme; it’s a business model

The first time you see “Italian brainrot,” it looks like the internet broke: an AI-smeared creature, a fake-Italian name, a voiceover that sounds like it was generated by a microwave. The second time, you start recognizing the “characters.” The third time, you realize this isn’t random at all. It’s a format. And formats are how the internet prints money. Oxford picked “brain rot” as its Word of the Year in 2024, describing it as both the content and the effect : the suppose

How the Music Biz Learned to Stop Worrying and Love AI Hits

The generative-music alarm bell rang in 2023, when the deep-faked duet “Heart on My Sleeve” by “Drake” and “The Weeknd” sped past millions of streams before anyone could trace its source. The stunt made one thing brutally clear: labels could no longer police every upload, much less every model, in real time. Two years on, the industry’s strategy has flipped from whack-a-mole enforcement to supply-chain surveillance. Detection code is now being baked into every layer of the p
