Ratan Lal, a DU professor who was arrested over the Gyanvapi Mosque post, was granted bail

On Saturday, a Delhi court granted bail to Delhi University professor Ratan Lal, who was arrested on Friday over a social media post allegedly intended to offend religious beliefs following the alleged discovery of a ‘Shivling’ inside the Gyanvapi Mosque complex in Varanasi, on the condition that he post a bond of 50,000 rupees and provide surety in the same amount. Lal was taken to the Tis Hazari Court, where he was granted bail.

On the basis of a complaint filed by a Delhi-based lawyer, a FIR was filed against Lal, a Hindu College associate professor, on Tuesday night. Advocate Vineet Jindal filed a complaint alleging that the professor had recently shared a “derogatory, inciting, and provocative tweet on the Shivling.”

He was charged under Indian Penal Code Sections 153A (promoting enmity between different groups on the basis of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language, etc., and doing acts prejudicial to maintaining harmony) and 295A (promoting enmity between different groups on the basis of religion, race, place of birth, residence, language (deliberate act to outrage religious feelings of any class by insulting its religion).

Left-wing activists from the All India Students Association (AISA) protested outside Delhi University’s Arts Faculty on Saturday against the arrest of a Hindu College associate professor.

“Stop attacking our teachers,” “Stop stifling democratic voices,” and “Release professor Ratan Lal” were among the placards held by the student activists.

During the protest, there was a large police presence. In addition to the district police, four companies from an outside force, including women, have been deployed, according to police.

Lal had previously stated that he had simply asked a question as a history student. “Anything can cause harm to people.” Academic debate cannot be ignored because of perceived harm. I had simply inquired as to whether the so-called shivling was broken or cut. Mullahs and Pandits don’t have to say anything about it. “This question should be answered by an art historian,” Lal said.

OpenAI buys new domain chat.com for over million, it redirects to ChatGPT

The previous owner of the domain turned out to be Dharmesh Shah, founder and CTO of software company HubSpot

OpenAI has bought the domain chat.com. Clicking on it automatically routes you to the ChatGPT website.The AI giant’s CEO Sam Altman announced this on Thursday, November 7, 2024, by simply posting the URL on X (Formerly Twitter) without any description or reasoning.

Altman’s post has already gotten over 3 million views and nearly 15k likes. The domain purchase is likely part of a rebranding effort.

The domain’s previous owner turned out to be Dharmesh Shah, founder and CTO of software company HubSpot. Shah announced this in posts on X and LinkedIn.

In his post, he detailed how he had purchased the domain for $15.5 million earlier this year and sold it later to an undisclosed (at that time) buyer.

“Well, in an 8 character tweet (talk about brevity), Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI revealed that they were the buyer,” he wrote. ”If you visit the website now, it goes to ChatGPT.” Shah wrote he was not at liberty at that time to share who the acquirer was as he was “going to leave that to them, when they were ready.”

He then went on to share GPT o1 prompt which reasoned the entire episode. “When he does sell a domain, it’s almost never at a loss,” and “Dharmesh doesn’t like profiting off of people he considers friends,” the prompt read, which could mean he did sell it for more than the $15.5 million he bought it for, since it also says he doesn’t like referring to himself in the third person.

However, its also indicated he got compensated in OpenAI shares since the prompt reads that he “always wanted to own OpenAI shares,” that “he doesn’t need the cash from a domain sale,” and that “he made a non-humble brag earlier this year that he’s now an investor in OpenAI.”

OpenAI has made headlines by acquiring the premium domain chat.com for a staggering sum reportedly exceeding $15 million. The move marks a strategic step by the AI giant, further solidifying its brand presence and making its flagship product, ChatGPT, even more accessible to users. The newly acquired domain now redirects to ChatGPT, streamlining access for millions of users worldwide.

Chat.com is one of the most coveted domain names, thanks to its simplicity and universal appeal. By securing this domain, OpenAI demonstrates its commitment to enhancing user experience and expanding its reach. The investment is seen as a bold move, indicating OpenAI’s confidence in the future of conversational AI.

The acquisition of such a high-value domain reflects the increasing demand and competition in the AI-driven household name, redirecting from a memorable domain like chat.com is expected to boost traffic, improve brand recognition, and make the service more approachable to new users.
