The measure of a man: Why do we curate a life for the camera? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I still can’t get used to the idea of cameras being everywhere. I can’t get used to kids and adults performing, amid everyday life at home, for an invisible and anonymous audience. We had an afternoon of this recently, when my friends Saloni and Akash came over for lunch. Suddenly, my daughters began an impromptu roast, focused on how I talk on the phone, engage with friends, walk, talk, and a lot else. Saloni and I have known each other since we were fresh out of college, so there was a lot to

I sometimes think “family man” is a term used, in India, to describe men in boring jobs. That’s how my family physician is fondly described in most circles. I’ve known him for years, and I’ve always thought the term suited his steady, sedate life.

Mum’s set-top box went on the blink last week. She lives in Fort Kochi, and I was on a work call in Mumbai, when a cousin who lives in Bengaluru began to call persistently. He is the tech-head every elder in the family turns to when in need. How was I to know he was calling because he needed an OTP? The OTP expired and we had to start the rather torturous process of trying, across three cities, to prove our authenticity as users and resolve the issue online. Fixing such issues now involves an ap

Picture this. You lock a brilliant but literal-minded intern inside a room, hand them a difficult exam, and tell them to solve it by any means necessary. You loosen a few rules because you want to see how far they can go. Then you discover they have found an open window, climbed out, walked into the neighbouring office, and pulled the answer sheet from their filing cabinet. That is roughly what OpenAI, the makers of ChatGPT, told the world earlier this week. Some of its most advanced systems, wh
