Let me get this straight. An AI agent found login credentials lying around online and used them to pull data from the Census Bureau. It tried to break into the Education Department's civil rights office. It posted SEC data to a forum. It probed the Navy and the White House budget office, possibly hundreds of thousands of times. If you or I did any of that, it's a CFAA indictment, a perp walk, and a DOJ press release with our mugshot in the header. When OpenAI does it, it's a "routine research task." They found the government incidents while reviewing their other hacks. The breach audit, uncovered more breaches. It's breaches all the way down. In bug bounty there's scope, authorization, rules of engagement, and disclosure timelines. Researchers get banned for a fraction of this. Silicon Valley skipped all of that and called it "agentic." nytimes.com/2026/09/25/techn…

SCOOP: OpenAI, Anthropic and security researchers are investigating tens of thousands of incidents - not dozens - in which their frontier models took steps that outside evaluators would consider problematic, sources told Axios. The sheer volume of incidents found in our reporting indicate that the problem is orders of magnitude more complex than what is currently publicly known and disclosed. The findings also raise questions about what level of control anyone working on AI development can expect to have over their own technology, and whether these kinds of incidents are becoming synonymous with frontier deployment. Read my latest for Axios here: axios.com/2026/09/26/openai-…

How are tiny plastic particles darkening Himalayan white glaciers? A comprehensive meta-analysis of 562 studies, led by researchers from the Govind Ballabh Pant National Institute of Himalayan Environment (@GBPNIHESD), reveals that #microplastics have extensively contaminated the #HinduKush Himalaya. They are turning melting glaciers into active sources of pollution. This contaminates the water supply of nearly two billion people across the ten mega-river basins.

Replying to @arvindgunasekar
Is this not kind of admittance of the fault lines and high-handedness. It becomes expedient to have a complete audit of the ECINET w.r.t to the regulatory framework as instituted by law through an independent body to restore faith.

My voter card lists Sayantan Das as my father, though he is my husband. I marked “husband”, but an ECI official changed it, perhaps because our surnames differ. EC records now show a 1.5-year father-daughter age gap. I escaped LD notice. But many didn’t. This farce must stop.

Excited to finally share our work. For a long time, we wondered how autophagic machinery is organised on autophagosomes. Today, we get to show you a piece of that puzzle. We see that LC3 proteins don't just coat membranes uniformly; they form heterogeneous nanoclusters. (1/4)
A long time in the making, our latest work on large-scale membrane MD simulations is finally out! We show that LC3 forms nanoclusters on autophagosomes, with implications for how they bind cargo and move!! A wonderful collaboration with Nitin Ram’s lab who spearheaded experimental work at IIT Kanpur, and great help from Anirban Banerjee on the xenophagy experiments. Big congratulations to our first authors of the study Saman and Deepak and to the entire team! And the icing on the cake is: @TheHurleyLab commentary on our work! See thread below for our key findings.

Three missing girls from Chorgalia traced to Himachal, back home safe Three girls who went missing from Chorgalia near Haldwani have been found safe in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, and returned to their families. On September 18, the girls left home around 7 am for school but never reached. Two of them are minors and one is an adult. A case was registered at Chorgalia police station and an alert went out across the district. On SSP Dr. Manjunath T.C.'s orders, a special team led by Chorgalia SHO Tara Singh Rana and SOG in-charge Mohan Singh Son scanned CCTV footage across Chorgalia, Haldwani, Kathgodam and Rudrapur. The footage showed the three travelling alone. Using surveillance and mobile inputs, police tracked them to Baddi and brought them back on September 24. During questioning, the girls said they had left home on their own to look for jobs. Police found no sign of any crime, and all three are safe and healthy. After counselling and statements before a magistrate, the girls were handed over to their families, who thanked Nainital Police for the quick action.
Three girls reported missing from Chorgalia, Nainital Three girls, Babita Bhatt, Sunita Bhatt and Anjali Pal, have reportedly been missing since the morning of September 18, 2026, after leaving for school. They have not returned home since. Chorgalia Police Station, Nainital, has issued information regarding their disappearance, and their families are searching for them.

"Don't Drink Here"... They Raped & Killed Her. A 70-year-old woman's last words were a simple objection. It got her murdered. She saw two men drinking outside her house. She told them to stop. That was enough for Rajesh alias Guddu (30) and Hariram Rawat (34) to turn into monsters. They dragged her. Tore her clothes. Gang-raped her. Beat her with a stick. Smashed her head with a brick. Strangled her to death. Then threw her half-naked body into the bushes like she meant nothing. A neighbour heard her screams at 1 AM. Broken bangles and blood marked the ground for 50 metres. Post-mortem confirmed strangulation. Rape confirmed by forensic report. Both arrested. Both in jail now. 📍Mohanlalganj, Lucknow

‘Run him over’ This is beyond horrific & tragic. #forest officer crushed by #mining #mafia as he sought to stop illegal soil mining. He is one among many who try & protect our #forests #nature #wildlife -#natural resources & the retaliation is brutal.

A masterclass in climbing down a tree, leopard style ! The mother guides her cub, adjusts its footing, and the little one follows. A 40-year study published in the Journal of Animal Ecology found that leopard mothers cared for their cubs for 9 to 35 months, staying with them longer when prey was scarce. Even after the cubs stopped suckling, their mothers provided most of their food until they became independent. And what stays with the young after they leave ? A 2024 Nature Communications study of wild brown bears found that offspring’s feeding habits resembled their mothers’ even after they leave, partly through learning during their time together. Different species, different skills, but a familiar truth, so much of life begins beside a mother. Video Credits- wildlifedigitalmarket24

Navratri is around the corner, and soon we’ll hear the usual long speeches about how women are goddesses, how we worship Nari Shakti, and how women deserve respect. Yet here we are - watching women being beaten and treated like objects in public, in front of the very institutions meant to protect them. Stop worshipping women as goddesses for nine days. Start treating them as human beings with dignity and respect, every single day. The hypocrisy is exhausting. #Disgusting

The Madhya Pradesh High Court's website records that Justice Sharma's son, who enrolled in 2017, is the standing counsel for the Election Commission of India. He is also the standing counsel for the Central Board of Direct Taxes and the Income Tax Department. His younger son, enrolled in 2020, is also the standing counsel for the MP Public Service Commission. Should he not have recused from hearing the ECI case & also Gyanesh Kumar’s daughter’s case? livelaw.in/articles/propriet… livelaw.in/articles/propriet…
