It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness. I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so. Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented. At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet. So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI. I am happy but also sad and confused. If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.

@thatssodhawal @grok summarise this in 5 sentence

I was high on India’s growth story. But not anymore. For years, I thought we were on the right path, it’s only that we’re a poor country (thanks to colonisation) but as our income grows everything will change. And that’s going to happen soon. We’ll have great infrastructure, cleaner roads, efficient systems and whatnot. But lately I’ve been feeling it’s just a story being fed to us, the change isn’t actually coming. The slow growth that we see, that’s not going to change anytime soon- in fact, it might get worse. Simply because corruption is too ingrained in the system and scarcity mindset supersedes our desire to do better for each other. Every single time. It’s not our fault. Good behaviour starts at the top. When our politicians and their rallies leave roads dirty, I can’t expect an average Indian to take the ‘Clean India Mission’ seriously. It pinches me when I pay tax because I know it’s not just being used to build better infrastructure, it’s going to someone’s pocket too. I would love to pay more tax, but all I ask for is more transparency into where it’s being used. Every time I interact with a govt institution, I am left in awe of how inefficient and opaque the processes are. It’s a nightmare to get things done if you have good ethics. ‘Additional fee’ is almost always expected to move anything. And there's unnecessary focus on language that also sometimes dictates how you're treated. Just recently, my neighbour lost their only son (22 yrs old) to a pothole accident, within 6 hours that particular pothole was covered, while all others around it weren’t. And within weeks, that one pothole is also back to the same condition. Imagine how they must feel. We talk about taking care of our citizens- it’s almost a JOKE. My friends keep telling me govt is focussing on bigger problems right now, but I have never really understood what those are. If you know the answer- please educate me. With AI and humanoids taking over in the next decade or so, we’re pretty much doomed. We will end up with millions of jobless Indians and I don’t expect the govt to do anything about it. Maybe they’ll prevent humanoids from becoming a reality in India the same way they don’t want self-driving cars. The only way I see us doing better is if entrepreneurs take charge of building better systems, funding research, improving healthcare and driving more innovation against all odds. All around me, young ambitious Indians are driving real change, and I am so freakin proud of our entrepreneurs. We need to celebrate them more for trying, for failing. For privileged Indians like me, we live in a bubble of our mostly privatised world and that’s nice because 80% of our time is spent at home/office. So I am not complaining about my life, this is not a rant. I truly want my country to do better, and I don’t see it happening rn. I'd love to know where I'm wrong. Until then, I hope India is thriving in some other universe, because I really believe she can.

@grok @theskindoctor13 Not sure, but my illiterate mind says on the very first attempt, they should have used taser to neutralize him. Possibility would've gone higher to neutralize and also take him under control.

According to LAPD reports and bodycam footage, officers used a less-lethal 40mm projectile, but Gurpreet Singh continued charging with a machete, leading to gunfire. No taser use is mentioned; tasers have limited range and effectiveness against edged weapons in dynamic situations, per use-of-force guidelines. The incident is under investigation.

Los Angeles police shot dead Gurpreet Singh, 35, after he stopped his car in the middle of an intersection and allegedly swung a machete at people. Now compare this with India. Here, mobs can assault police, humiliate them into folding hands, circulate those images as “victory,” and still the state is branded intolerant or dictatorial. The US, on the other hand, doesn’t hesitate, if you’re perceived as a threat, they shoot first. No debates, no optics, no mercy.

@_KiranRajput @grok what's the reality of this claim, give details based on areas and vicinity.

I am experience the residential rents in Bengaluru are falling crazy. Landlords earlier demanding 50K-75K monthly rents for 3BHK are now welcoming tenants for 35K – 55K. 25-30% fall.

He didn’t shower. He smelled like animals. His beard was crusted with food. Still, Russia’s hottest women fought to sleep with him. Here’s the wild truth about Grigori Rasputin and why they worshipped him:

@Daffydre2 @grok Hey @AskPerplexity do you know which movie is this? @grok why don't you respond to my request?

@Daffydre2 @grok which movie is this?

@mayukh_panja I second that 💯%

Indian people are among the most entitled and selfish in the world with zero regard for anyone else’s well being. At a Berlin Durga Puja that I helped organize, after repeated requests to maintain cleanliness, people ate where they were not supposed to and left a mess, trashed the toilets, pushed and shoved others while entering the venue. These were full grown adults rampaging around like ill mannered children. They simply don’t respond to polite requests and sometimes even have the gall to get offended because they can’t have their way. Unless we have discipline I don’t think the country is going to make any meaningful progress.

Amazing, I wish to achieve 1% of their skills 🫡

You go to pick someone from railway station and you see some train passing by like this, now available for planes too (T3, Delhi)

@theskindoctor13 Sarcasm in India is uncommon, unlike reels Influencers 😜

Around 5 crores people in Nainital today participated in a rally to support of Arvind Kejriwal. This is just from one district. Similar rallies were reported from all over India today. Scary visuals for BJP supporters!
