India is mostly a very stark contrast of brilliant, in some cases world class private spaces and very bad public spaces / infrastructure. This dichotomy / transition from one space to another, is too much to handle at times.

walking 2.4 km of Bengaluru footpaths showed me: - tunnel juice - barbed wire - desire paths - bushwhacking - pavement pudding - a stairwell into a drain - something I can't type here don't watch this if you have a weak stomach

Noticing a lot more - "Celebration of funding & IPO, whilst also a laser sharp focus on life post funding" in the celebrations lately. #AlwaysDayOne

If you live in Bengaluru and your Kids love reading books, would highly recommend visiting Neev Literature Fest this weekend - More details at neevliteraturefestival.org

There are hours, where a week's worth of work happens and then there are weeks, where you are undoing an hour's worth of work 💆‍♂️ ..

TIL

This is neat. We need a strong evals framework to really identify how much productivity and competency lift you can get from AI. Would argue that this should be an evals core followed by industry specific evals frameworks ( e.g. can AI optimize spends across advertising channels

Tempted to mash something up with this library and dash cams from cars in Bengaluru :-)

Damn, I don't think I have ever fantasized about an Idli, like this. The written word can change how you feel about things.

Step by step, new business models are going to emerge. It's going to be a very gradual change since the inhibitor to this change is human ability to assess and trade off the value of time vs the money it costs and do so, hundreds of times, per day.

In the day and age of people going crazy about better AI models, is it okay to be giddy that Logitech launched the #MXMaster4 ?

Bengaluru IG feed, is a fascinating bundle of contradictions. A post about the world's largest brewery being opened in Whitefield (it looked awesome) is followed by a post about School bus getting stuck in muck and kids evacuated through windows 🤕.

Do yourself a favor and read this report in its entirety. Take notes, ask your favourite chat model clarifying questions, make notes of terms you don't know and go down the rabbit hole. Don't read hot takes / summaries / twitter threads.

Sensei Andrej Karpathy is really gifted in the written word. Find his pragmatism with regards to AI, the closest to the most likely scenario with AI. Yes, the advances and experiences possible with AI will change how he work, but the larger, "human purpose" changing future, is a few

Hands down the best AI book i have come across on the topic, for the PM's and Designers wanting to understand intuition behind RL. Brilliantly written, the right abstraction - drive.google.com/file/d/1Xtq-9P…. Between this document and State of AI 2025 report, you can catch up on enough

Just reviewing the Mercor job boards and identifying which Tagging / Annotation jobs are being opened, is a brilliant proxy into AI models tuning / applications that people are working on and more importantly, not working on :-)

Call me a romantic, but we need more such content. World class animation + Rooted in Indian ethos. We always had the stories. We need, new age ready, story telling. Thanks Shobu Yarlagadda

Very neat. Suggested improvements to Agentic flows was a very neat abstraction on how to improve customer support flows using AI.

Some of the best content going forward, might be Chat conversation / audio conversation, export links. Highly recommended read for product leadership.
