@SarvamAI they're definitely not building population scale AI, and positioning themselves as such, is pissing me off. for all their claim of indian sovereignty and shit, they haven't even released a benchmark for indianness(openai was the first to do)

@SarvamAI without a safety framework, i am deeply skeptical of the path they're choosing. investor pressure, survival pressure, are definitely proving to be difficult. idk, it's all fucking annoying and i am fucking pissed that they're doing so little

@SarvamAI i do not know how to feel about sarvam choosing to claim "population scale ai" via low-impact deployment of ai through goi. true empowerment of ai comes from empowering individuals. integrating ai through goi, where does that end?

@SarvamAI almost a year since the llm announcement, and there's no model release. i would be even more pissed if they do not benchmark against IndQA. i don't even know what the fuck their llm team is doing at this point.

@SarvamAI the inaction is irritating at this point. i was rooting so much for them at the start of the year, defending them from @deedydas but, i have given up. they're genuinely uninspiring. none of them have interesting blogs, their thoughts are unknown, their opinions are unknown.

@SarvamAI they do not update shit on their website, they do not announce shit, they do not market shit, they do not release shit, they don't even write blogs. the company's philosophy is unknown, they expect people to root them just because they're building "natively for Indian culture"

@SarvamAI their idea of population scale ai is to inject via the government. i do not think embedding ai via the government would empower the population in any meaningful way. they do not have a safety framework either.

@SarvamAI positioning themselves as the face of Indian AI, without doing any work, is annoying. they haven't released any product, they haven't released any research, blogs, or showcasing demos using their products. what the fuck is their marketing team doing? wtf

@smallest_AI website is absolutely fire! although feels like it mimics perplexity a bit in font size and feel, takes a while to load, but i don't care! it's stupidly awesome and every ai company should have awesome websites

Maybe it's my stimulant medication, but man all of her replies are infuriating! Exploiting someone who wants to grow is a shitty thing to do. I'm not hating this person, I'm infuriated at the kind of person one's allowed to be in these broken labor economics.

I agree with this. Research internships are much more exciting, less exploitative, and more curiosity driven. The quality of exposure you get at an IIT research lab is unmatched. Not the same for corporate internships where you work like a FTE in the name of learning.
Dr. Manabendra Saharia@m_saharia

Twitter thoughts are always illuminating. Many have accused me of commiting a crime by hiring an unpaid intern. Interns do vastly different things in a company and a research lab in an IIT. Please do read my bio - we are not a for profit company and operate on razor-thin budgets. :) When we hire an intern in our research lab, I'm basically taking an understudy in research, usually in 2nd or 3rd year of undergrad. It's a huge time sink for me and the lab as our effort is primarily directed at Masters and PhD scholars. However, it is also our duty to train the next gen. So we put in time and effort to train very few selected interns in specialized research and sometimes it leads to a research paper or product. There is no other expectation except that they work diligently and get trained to be a more skillful engineer. Please don't compare with industry Internships where many companies are getting regular company work done for free or slavery wages in the name of internships. People even hire graduates as interns in industry these days and the word has lost all meaning. In our world, it just has a selfless meaning of training an inexperienced undergraduate in a specialized skill with no expectation in return. P.S. All my lab interns get paid. However, apples and oranges.

This is the sad state of affairs in indian tech world. The labor economics allow for such blatant exploitation of talent, with minimal remorse. Unpaid internships should be illegal by law.
