We don't need writers or even video editors or even anchors anymore but the point is simple. If all these roles are eliminated, who will consume? Who will buy stuff that manufactures build/make. The whole economy is built around consumption. Total economic collapse will be the result of pushing real people out. Factory jobs can be automated, self-driving cars can eliminate drivers, AI can act better than actors and present better than anchors. Why, we already have AI content creators having more fans than real content creators. Coders? AI can code better it seems. And plumbers, AC servicemen and electricians? Well, even they'll eventually become jobless as the people made redundant by AI will learn to do these things on their own. They will have too much free time anyway.

I'll remember her most for Khalaas. What a song. I'm just listening to this again after hearing this.

Rest in Peace Asha Ji! 🙏🏻🌸😭

@brahma_4u If the product is poor, no amount of vertical integration will help. It's a house of cards.

Vertical integration always wins in the long run.

@vijayshekhar Ohm's law: Vegetarian equals Iyer.

I want to see such indian content creators being celebrated, way more than we do. What an awesome way to remember formulas: Bam Bam Bhole , Sona Chandi Tole 🤩

Straight roads are for fast cars, turns are for fast drivers: Colin McRae. Talking soul, yes, you're absolutely right. That's exactly why Porsche 911 sales are growing steadily while Taycan sales have massively dropped by nearly two thirds. The romance of an petrol or diesel engine is the sensation it produces, which for EV lovers is unnecessary vibration/noise/harshness. Each time a turbo kicks in, the dollop of torque accompanying it builds anticipation. It makes one look forward to that sensation. And this is exactly what happens with pops and bangs during downshifts. A lot of people who really love cars for what they are and what they make one feel like these feelings/sensations. The rest can buy EVs. PS: A digital watch tells time way more accurately than a mechanical watch, and costs literally nothing. But it's the mechanical watch everyone aspires for. 😀

EVs have straight-line speed, sure, but they miss the entire soul of driving. We are devotees of power, performance, and noise! EVs areust a ton and a half, two tons of wires, glass, metal, and rubber. An ICE vehicle feels like a 'living entity' you actually develop a

@Xroaders_001 @MenonNinad @SahibKhandpur @shreemallatheru @volklub No, not an aberration. There are just too many EV fanatics on X. Day in and day out they keep abusing ICE for no reason. They're just fanatics. They don't love cars.

There can be aberrations humans are like that but I am a firm believer that powertrain choices are individual ones need to be respected to core. Certainly I am personally against targeting any powertrain & individuals Everyone deserves respects and everyone’s choices as well. Kya he le jana hae life se daily take debates mae loop karke nothing is achieved

🚘 One poor DEF experience doesn’t undermine Diesel Powertrain 🚘 One poor CNG filling experience doesn’t undermine CNG Powertrain 🚘 One poor EPC issue doesn’t undermine Turbo petrol engines 🚘 One poor DCT /DSG failure doesn’t undermine the powertrain 🚙 One poor EV charging experience and the whole “EVs are doomed” What a logic !! Grow up ⬆️

@NaibAbhijeet There was a Fitch report recently that talked about overcapacity: cartoq.com/car-news/india…

@JayPrashanth Where is the excess ethanol ? we are importing raw materials for that as well

Mr. Gadkari wants to take on the 'crude import lobby' it seems. Since ethanol didn't work well in diesels, the next step is making IsoButanol from ethanol and adding it to diesel. ARAI has begun testing 10 % IsoButanol diesel blends. And this is probably what will work for ethanol makers and the Govt, way more than E20 as India's transport sector runs on diesel. So, pushing all that excess ethanol capacity will be easier! As for diesel car and SUV owners, let's see what happens! @CarToq cartoq.com/car-news/india…

@sandeep9925 @Gs_Wanderer @CarToq You're entitled to your opinion. I've made my case. Cheers.

@JayPrashanth @Gs_Wanderer @CarToq You’ve all the time to type all nonsense with fancy words. It’s anyways @CarToq mistake of not doing anything here. Waste of everything.

@CarToq Listen up, auto advice platforms: As Editor, you don’t hijack a creator’s personal Hyundai Kona EV motor repair thread and turn it into your article without asking permission even once. 1. I’m happy the ₹780 bearing fix story is getting shared - but not this way. 2. I first posted without blurring the TN plate, deleted it, and reposted with blur for privacy reasons. You still used the fully visible version. 3. Zero outreach, zero credit, zero basic courtesy from the top. Care to explain this, @JayPrashanth? Article: cartoq.com/car-life/hyund… Demand: Take down the full article immediately and issue a public acknowledgment of the unauthorized use. TIA.

@SahibKhandpur @shreemallatheru @volklub @Xroaders_001 I'm simply responding to the vile, vituperative behavior of EV fanatics. I give as good as I get.

@JayPrashanth @shreemallatheru @volklub @Xroaders_001 See it this way. People who are ice fanatics are called petrol heads and most are not abused but you are using the whole dictionary adjectives to abuse them. It seems you are the being impolite and more.

I can, with attribution (in this case embedding). His timeline is not 'private' because 1. His tweets are public 2. He's allowed embedding. If he doesn't want anyone to embed his tweets, he must protect them (make them private/inaccessible to non followers/public). It's like I'm walking past an accident on a public road, and take pictures and put it up in my newspaper. Now the guy in involved in the accident cannot come along and say, why did you take pictures? I did because you were on a public road (X is a publicly accessible platform owned privately). It's like a privately owned amusement park. If I had come into your house and taken pictures of you and posted it on my newspaper, I'm liable for trespass/Breach of privacy etc. In the former case, I'm not. I'm not stealing IP. I'm simply amplifying. If you don't want amplification/resharing, restrict viewership or explicitly say that none of your tweets can be re-tweeted/quote-tweeted or embedded. And in this case, Selva objected (over 2 weeks later) and said that he didn't want his tweets embedded. I complied, almost immediately. To turn around and say I didn't ask for permission, I didn't because 1. I'm legally not obligated to for fair use 2. I embedded his content, whose legal liability (opinion/facts) rested with him rather than me. To turn around and call this plagiarism is just puerile.

@JayPrashanth @Gs_Wanderer @CarToq Seriously are you making any sense here. He posted on his timeline and without his permission you cannot share like wise you think.

@VinodJason TAAQ. Antaragni. Galeej Gurus. I think you're also from that vintage.

#OldBangalore: Bangalore-based India's first heavy metal band #Millennium posing for a pic at #AirlinesHotel in 1996. One of the greatest & memorable band that ever existed in the country. The last I saw them live was in March 2008, when the opened for #Megadeth in #Bangalore

@VinodJason Aa dinagalu.

#OldBangalore: Orion Mall Road (Dr. Rajkumar Road) in the year 2000. On the left, the large compound wall of Kirloskar Factory is seen. The factory was demolished in early 2000s to make way for the Orion Mall, Brigade Gateway Apartments, and the World Trade Centre. During the 90s, every evening we could hear the Kirloskar Factory siren (loud and long) at around 4 PM or 5 PM, a logout time for all workers. #OldBengaluru #OrionMall #Bangalore #Bengaluru

Yes that's what. Right from that Ayyappa temple to Brigade, the railway parallel road feels relatively cool. That's because of the vegetation and lack of concrete on one side. So the idea must be to increase green cover rather than cut down on it. If they want a convention center, put it somewhere in the outskirts. What's the point adding to congestion? Already the yeshwantpur to metro junction sees big traffic. Imagine a big choultry in between. 🫣

@JayPrashanth A park would be best!! Both this and Sankey Tank will be so nearby. This entire stretch of 90 route road has so many trees dating over a century or so. And then if Orion Mall and WTC weren’t enough, out of nowhere the Kessaku and Prestige One sprung up.

The 22-acre factory 'Mysore Lamps' at the end of Malleshwaram in Bangalore could soon end up being demolished to make way for a Convention Center as per the governments new plan. Citizens are already against the move urging to create a park, green space instead. The factory had been non-functional for over 2-3 decades now and remained closed. #MysoreLamps #Kannada #Malleshwaram

@vinayaravind @SauravDassss Absolutely. It's just pattern recognition. What Mr Das has is a spine. That can't be grown through exams.

Indian obsession with entrance exam results is hilarious. As if a single exam someone wrote when they were 17 counts for anything. I can tell you that the entrance ranks of my law school class had zero correlation with intellect, capability, grades, career path, or "success".

@akhilkv @Gs_Wanderer @CarToq 😀 that's all there is to it.

I understand your PoV Jay, and as in the past, have always agreed to disagree on divergent opinions. I think the divergence here is that you feel Cartoq did enough attribution whereas Selvakumar doesn't think so. Rest all is just e-lafda on a Friday evening, due respects to both parties.

@TanmoyGhosh2002 Sorry dude. Will call soon.

Weekend in Dubai 😌

@volklub Chalake dekho Paaji. Mazaa aayega. I may gift my dad this. His first pair of motorized wheels was a MoFa.

@JayPrashanth Hasyaspad motorcycle hai tbh

Royal Enfield has just launched a brand new electric mobility brand. It's called Flying Flea. And the first product from Flying Flea is the C6 electric motorcycle, which was launched yesterday at 2.79 lakh rupees. For this much money, you get a nearly 4 kWh battery, 20 Bhp-60 Nm motor, girder fork suspension, a battery case made of magnesium, five riding modes and dual channel switchable ABS. Earlier today, the first Flying Flea showroom opened at Bangalore's Jayanagar. CarToq was at ground zero. Here's what happened at the launch. PS: We even managed to get a short test ride of the 124 kg (light by electric motorcycle standards) Flying Flea C6, and came away mightly impressed. If you're in Bangalore, go test ride one. You're likely to be very impressed by Royal Enfield first electric. And if you're elsewhere, the wait won't be long. A Flying Flea showroom will soon come to a place near you. @CarToq @royalenfield
