@soodsneha95 every day is baddie padwa

The existence of Gudi Padwa implies the existence of Baddie Padwa.

@amarifields_ yes

would anyone be interested in a group chat for founders trying to fundraise to share tips, resources, and what is actually working comment below if you would join

@amrith this is so awesome! is the music ai generated? what models are you using?

Been homesick lately so I vibe coded this over the weekend. Meet Dhuni – a 24/7 radio that plays Indian classical & instrumental music 🎶 Each station has its own season, raga, and mood.

having moved from the US to India since then, I can now see that the numbers really do add up. the average Indian is 10x more optimistic about AI than the average American

Know your customers and build the right products. Learn more about how AI will change the future of business as modelsandmetrics.com

the transitions aren't perfect but I won't be surprised if we're able to one-shot smooth, dynamic camera-panning angles within the next couple months if not week. what a time to be alive!

it's a short film about the impermanence of time, showing the contrast between war and pace, grandiosity & resilience, conquest and innocence

video generation has gotten so insanely good recently. I (with 0 creative skills) was able to create this short video in <2 hours at a hackathon by @cinic_ai using @morphic

@cortisoul_ @rajatpiplewar have you seen this before?

user wants to give you the best rating but for them ek number (1 star) is the best while play/ app store will read it as the worst how do indian startups solve for this ?

@tylvuong17 @scale_AI @southpkcommons noice

Life update for my 0 followers: I left @scale_AI to be unemployed and explore Voice AI at @southpkcommons in NYC. Still figuring out what I’m building at SPC and let’s chat especially if you have a billion-dollar Voice AI idea.

Who’s in Delhi for the AI summit next week? If you work in hardware/robotics and are visiting, happy to host you at our offices!

@NisarHogaya I'm looking for events too!

Any nerdy/grounded side events around AI happening around the AI summit week in Delhi? I feel like more value will be on the sidelines.

never expected gemini to give up like this

@deedydas Takes balls to publicly accept your mistake. Respect.

I was wrong about Sarvam. When I wrote about them a year ago, I felt like the direction to train small "indic" language models was wrong. But boy, have they turned it around. They have the best text-to-speech, speech-to text, and OCR models for Indic languages, and that's actually really valuable. The pricing is very reasonable. And the website is not only beautifully designed but dirt easy to use. They're filling a well needed gap in the ecosystem and doing things big labs will probably never focus on to the fullest extent (at least in the short term). I don't know anything about the business, but there's a lot to appreciate about what they've build technologically and I can't remember the last time I felt that way about software products coming out of India. Well done.

Another great talk at @southpkcommons bangalore with @lkeshre from Groww. Almost convinced me that investing is more than BTC

10 years ago, there were 10 people around my kitchen table. No structure, no brand, no certainty. Just a handful of builders showing up for something that yet didn’t exist. Since then @southpkcommons has grown to over a 1000 members. Today, 25,000 people apply to SPC every year. We have offices in SF, NYC, and Bangalore. But SPC isn’t about the numbers, it’s about the people and what emerges when they choose to show up for each other. It looks like @anuraggoel, already successful and credible, showing up with generosity, helping others, sharing work, iterating in public. Patterns sharpened and @render was born. It looks like @thejamescad and @dbabbs, who met at SPC to become cofounders building @tryprofound. One of the superpowers of SPC is the collision rate—not the shallow kind, but the kind that only happens when people keep showing up long enough to build trust. It looks like @MaximilianMona, who moved out to California in an RV to be at SPC and eventually build Ironsite. That’s someone saying, with their whole life: this matters. And it looks like @AshtonJEaton, an Olympic gold medalist, walking into SPC not for a career pivot, but for a deeper reinvention. To trade mastery for learning. Not for optics. For truth. SPC has been designed by the community and for the community, with one goal that hasn’t changed: pay it forward. We’ve helped normalize taking time to find truly meaningful work, whatever shape that might take. So on this ten-year anniversary, I want to thank the people who made SPC what it is. The ones who showed up when they didn’t have a narrative. The ones who lived in the question — and lingered in uncertainty for long enough to find out. The ones who came back, again and again, for the work and for each other. Happy ten years, SPC. Thank you for showing up!

So the Alienkind spaceship burger does live up to the hype.
