@TechLayoffLover Copy pasting blind threadsssss!!

Rumored Wednesday 4/15 that 50% of $SNAP employees will be laid off. Do what you will with this information.

@AdiviSesh’s streak continues. Glad I watched this in a theatre..worked really well for me. Solid mix of love, drama and action…. Well written with good performances all over with @anuragkashyap72 stands out. #Dacoit

@venkyreviews Lol writing is weak? You haven’t seen the movie then

#Dacoit An average action love story that is technically strong, but the screenplay only works in parts. The film is technically sound. and that is its biggest strength. However, the screenplay and writing are where it falters in places. There are twists and turns to keep things moving, but they aren’t as effective as they should be. A few sequences work well but a lot of portions also remind you of Kshanam/Goodachari, which makes the screenplay feel redundant and predictable. Climax twist is way too over the top. Adivi Sesh performs aptly in his role, but his Rayalaseema dialect should have been better. Mrunal is decent. It ends up being just an alright watchable film with lowered expectations. Rating: 2.5/5

@siddharthb_ FAQ’s scream!

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.

Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan’s first move after the big win? Rolled up to In-N-Out, grabbed a burger & hung out with everyday people! No Hollywood ego. Just pure, real, human energy. This is why he’s DIFFERENT!

@petergyang No job security needed as they must have made enough past 5 years to FIRE

The new reality is if you have a FAANG job you have 0 job security

@travelhacked They may devalue the points like Hyatt just did

@Kenu73 @lakkaraju1 Air India is shambles. Your PR stuff won’t do much here. There is a reason for the hate…and pretty valid.

Air India gets uncessary hate and from People who probably don't even fly AI, I saw the comment section and it feels weird. This downgrade is very common in case of Aircraft change, I have had this on multiple occasions. They email you all the details when they downgrade you. All you have to do is read the email and do this :- Post your travel is complete, you may submit a claim request by clicking Airport Services and selecting 'Upgrade or Downgrade

@sivori Thanks, should have read the article…but too many slops on my timeline all of a sudden…so

@alterindiana I wrote it two years ago, genius.

@thejobchick Jaise karni waise bharni

Google is increasing jobs to India to bypass the 100K H-1B fee as I expected…. it incentivizes offshoring. Pay to play didn’t bring jobs home. Something needs to be done.

@santoshimz @grok Talking without context of what he meant does make your tweet look funny

Thinking AI generated as an insult will look funny when we look back 5 years from now. By the release of Varanasi, AI video Gen will be so advanced that you can create Varanasi glimpse from your laptop using Higgsfield/Kling or directly from @grok Imagine. AI will be another tool for VFX artists and will be the first tool for pre visualization saving hours of manual work, more faster iterations

@UpdatesChennai Opening first quarter of 2050 if any money left after filling up the pockets to get it approved.
