@jasonfried Salespeople hate Salesforce Doctors hate Epic Developers hate JIRA Common theme is that all these systems are made for recording to please higher ups and provide zero benefit to the person recording.

@rodriscoll As a founder who makes digital voice assistant with several hundred car dealerships live, I cant count a single case where a dealership laid off an assistant due to DVA.

AI has become the justification for every layoff. It's the perfect excuse card, but there is a lot of spin involved. Every layoff is some combo of the following five very different AI stories. 1. Nothing changed, we just realized we have too many people. We are going to blame AI, but we are bullshitting. This is the AI as an excuse; it was really sloppy hiring, and we are just blaming AI. (See Block) 2. Growth has gone away so now we have too many people. This may be because of AI if you are a SaaS company. All the customer love is now going to AI. But it's less AI as a productivity lift, and more about you just building a less ambitious growth company. (See Salesforce and most every SaaS company) 3. We spent our money on capex to build AI so now we can’t afford as many people. Management may say it’s about AI making us productive (4 below) but my gut is a lot of it is about Nvidia getting our money so now there is none for you. (See Meta and Oracle) 4 We are really using AI the way god intended us to. We don't need as many people. This is the ONLY version of the story that is actually about a productivity increase. It's real, it's happening, but I wonder if it is even the majority of the layoffs. (See some software engineering departments right now) @jasonlk raised a fifth reason that doesn't get talked about enough: we just have the wrong people. Maybe we don't need 20 engineers who all know C++, but rather eight who have strong AI skills. This I think should be happening everywhere. Every time a layoff announcement comes out, I try and mentally categorize per the above.

Yeah. Maharana Pratap said that unless I get clean water, clean air, good hospital, and decent roads, I am not going to eat घास की रोटी Laxmi Bi did give up because she did not have clean water, clean air, good hospital, and decent roads, after initially vowing मैं अपनी झांसी नहीं दूंगी। किसी भी कीमत पर नहीं दूंगी!
Reshma Alam@reshma_alam7

If Patriotism for you means only watching Cricket and Bollywood but never raising voice for clean water, clean air, good hospitals, or decent roads. You’re cooked !

A fundamental mistake normies make is put faith in a predictive model. They don't understand diff between model and reality. Good example of why models fail is McKinsey claiming that cell phone market wd tap out at a million units.

Any sensible defense attorney wd tell him that the post below is fodder for an investor fraud prosecutor. My prediction is Bhatia will either delete this or wd get arrested at some point of time in a Western country.

Clarifying a few things, starting with the MoU. Are you taking taxpayer money? No. The MoU signed with the UP Government is structured as a public-private partnership. It does not involve any cost to the taxpayers of Uttar Pradesh. On the contrary, it brings investment into the state. The project will be executed in phases, with support from external investment partners. We have not taken any money, any GPUs, or any other form of support from the Government. The only part of this MoU that involves citizens is that they'll receive free access to AI, in their own language and through familiar interfaces, via AI Commons. Is your revenue ₹42.9 lakh? No. This is a bug in Google’s AI, which has confused Puch AI with another company called Pucho AI. The ₹42.9 lakh revenue figure belongs to Pucho AI, not Puch AI. Puch AI’s revenue is not public. What’s your valuation/annual revenue? Are you bootstrapped? We’ll share those details when the time is right. For now, as a private company, we’re not required to make our valuation or revenue public. But, if you’re curious, we're not bootstrapped. We’re a well-funded startup. Do you have a foundational model of your own? No, and we do not believe it is necessary for our mission to build one at this stage. What is your mission? We want to bring AI to everyone in India. Today, many people already use tools like ChatGPT and Gemini, but millions still cannot. Your parents, shopkeepers, drivers, and many others are being left out because AI, in its current form, is not built for them. What exactly is Puch AI doing? Puch AI is building the domestic consumer AI offering for the masses. We're bringing AI to people through simple, familiar interfaces like WhatsApp and voice calls, so that it is easy to use even for those who cannot type and prefer to interact through voice. Why don’t you have your own app? We understand the frustration people feel about this, and at times it is frustrating for us as well (currently fighting Meta on the WhatsApp policy). But so far, this has been a conscious choice. A new app becomes one more thing to learn and one more barrier for the millions of people who are currently not using AI. Try teaching your parents a new app! So are you asking me to not use ChatGPT or other AIs in the name of nationalism? No, not at all. People should use whatever AI works best for them. Our effort is simply to expand access to AI by bringing it to millions who, today, are unable to use the existing tools. Is Puch AI just a wrapper? Wrappers are generally defined as making API calls to AI providers like OpenAI and Anthropic. So no, Puch AI is not a wrapper. We do not use any APIs. We have built our entire infrastructure in-house on top of open-source models, and engineered it for the Indian context. However, if you define a wrapper as any company that does not have a foundational model pretrained from scratch, then yes, Puch AI is a wrapper. What is the point of Puch AI if you haven’t even built a model? The problem is data. Today, ChatGPT and Gemini are the default go-to AI apps for almost everyone in India who uses AI. As more people use them, these companies keep getting more and more data to improve their models. That data will never help Sarvam, BharatGen, or any other domestic AI model builder. More importantly, the bulk of India will end up accessing information through OpenAI or Google: their systems and their narratives that may ultimately be shaped by foreign actors. With Puch AI, we are trying to build sovereign distribution, so that India has at least one alternative, no matter how hopeless it may seem to compete with OpenAI or Google’s marketing. Puch AI seems relatively simple. I can build it in a weekend. Are you even doing anything? The choice of a simple interface is deliberate, but the underlying infrastructure is far from simple. Happy to give ₹50 lakh to anyone who can build it in a weekend, match our performance in Indian languages, and offer it for free at our consumer scale. How was your experience building for India? It is a very interesting situation, where the Government understands the importance and wants to do good, but it becomes difficult to do any good when so many bad actors are rooting for you to fail. Thousands of paid accounts are ready to try to shape narratives to fit their own political agenda. Everything from Community Notes to actual news articles and journalism gets weaponized against you, because your failure gets more views. Will you keep fighting? Not sure. Quite exhausted. Maybe this is the time to sign off.

@chinmay @SarvamAI @grok You are comparing a company that spent billions of dollars on computing with a company that was even struggling to raise money.

While Indians are mad at Puch AI, they should also compare @SarvamAI with Deepseek. Both founded around the same time. Public data shows that Deepseek filed 8 patents out of which 3 granted. Sarvam has not filed any patents. @grok can you fact check?

@chinmay @SarvamAI Both founded mid-2023 (Sarvam Aug, DeepSeek Jul). Public patent data: DeepSeek ~14 apps filed (3-7 granted, mostly China-focused on infra/training). Sarvam: zero patents in public records (Google Patents, CNIPA, USPTO searches). Your comparison checks out.

In the US where X is headquartered, freedom of speech is the max. According to US laws, satire need to pass a key test: The key test is often whether a reasonable audience would understand it as exaggeration or commentary rather than a literal statement of fact. So is Zubair saying that those accounts were exaggerating? No. In Hustler Magazine v. Falwell (1988), the Supreme Court unanimously protected a parody ad in Hustler magazine that depicted Reverend Jerry Falwell in an outlandish, incestuous scenario. Chief Justice Rehnquist wrote that it was “obvious parody” not intended as fact, so it could not support a defamation or intentional infliction of emotional distress claim against a public figure. Upholding liability “would put all political satire at risk.” So again I ask, are these account exaggerations?
Mohammed Zubair@zoo_bear

Several X handles known for sharp political satire and criticism of the government are now withheld in India. No clear reasons. No transparency. If anything, the move only underscores satire’s power to challenge authority. @OishaniB_ altnews.in/democracy-with…

@pizzapurist Trump will make sure I am safe from you by not giving you a visa. Also I could not have started two companies without my wife's support. This included she cooking for me while working full time.

I hope that entire Indian LEFT will boycott the LPG supplied by the US. This is necessary as it shows solidarity with Iran. Right @INCKerala ?

I did study in both high school and intermediate (UP Board). I did not like at that time. But I now understand how it helped me: 1. Language helped me explain things I want to build better to my engineering team. We are a startup (and previous startup. We dont have a Product Manager and much of the product is being explained by me using some block diagram at best. Like screenshot below from today. My engineering team is in India and calls are in Hindi as I only employ engineers working from their 2 cities of villages (Deoria, Patna, Basti, Agra for example) 2. English helped me get to the US and build a foundation. 3. Sanskrit helps me understand ancient knowledge and apply that knowledge to business. For example: कृते प्रतिकृतिं कुर्याद्विंसिते प्रतिहिंसितम्। तत्र दोषं न पश्यामि शठे शाठ्यं समाचरेत्॥ Though, Sadhvi Ritambhra said perfectly to me in 1990s जो तुझे काँटे बोए, उसे बोएँ तू भाला वो भी साला याद करेगा, पड़ा था किससे पाला

BTW, your story either has a factual error. Urgent care are not required to provide care without ability to pay. Emergency care in the other hand is another thing.
