2 posts a day for 10 years. A lot of posts in there are philosophy that came out of thinking exercises. I never really did this to grow my account. Watching how people think online, trying to make sense of all the spectrums, predict the future - it was simply fun. I normally would get more engagement when I post on LinkedIn, but X makes me think more, hence X has always been where I reside.

Is it safe to have expired Whey protein? Anyone with experience?

Registered with a Govt. website and they SMSed me my password 💀 (erased for the screenshot purposes)

@whizkidd are there freshwater dolphins in there?

Most people in India don't understand the true scale of the North American Great Lakes. If they were placed over central India.. -> The western shore of Lake Superior would be at Vadodara, and its eastern point would extend to Chhindwara. -> Lake Michigan would stretch from Amravati to Solapur. -> Lake Huron would stretch from Nagpur to Karimnagar. The entire footprint of the Great Lakes system would stretch from the West Coast to the East Coast.

These folks gonna try bunch of things and then just scrap monetization on basis of impressions altogether. I still feel monetization based on what Grok things to be quality posts is a much better idea. Humans otherwise learn to game everything.

@siddharthb_ Good vision actually - historically we have seen that foreign companies have a learning curve in acquiring Indian market.

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.

agree requires money and time not available with most - but I can't think of any other description that would best define ideal body. Work could have been but most work nowadays is not physical. For instance I can say farmers actively doing physical labour in their fields as having their ideal body.

@pranavdotexe @rohitshinde121 Lol try to talk to men over 40 here to do some sport. Only HNI people do that because they already are in the zone where they can afford to and can do.

1. Not unique to Indian women, happens with men too. 2. Carb slop will do that to you. 3. Pregnant women are told to "eat for two" when in reality you only need about 400-500 extra calories in 3rd trimester. 4. Post-partum diet is carb + fat slop in the name of tradition. 5. No understanding of strength training and muscle building. 6. No cardio. Not even much walking. 7. Understanding of weight loss often doesn't include the concept of calories in, calories out.

I also want to connect with people like @ADPolicyDesign to work on solution - the solutions will be a crucial beanch of this movement. I acknowledge that in many cases regular good willing people have to take bad actions as there are no systems to help solve their problem: 1. We need widespread composting solutions w/o requiring people their valuable time for work, friends, hobbies, and family. 2. In the picture above, a mattress is being burnt - there is not easy way to dispose a mattress currently and we need a solution here Solutions can be policy, engineering, systems, anything - given that it shows results.

Can we all take collective action on all garbage burners? Let's hire a lawyer or any other staff that works full time processing these cases across the city. From identifying the violations and violators, making complaints, seeing them through, and setting up ways to not repeat. (it is a lot of work we individually cannot do without sacrificing life and work) I have been complaining burnings in my society for instance since past 6 months but its really difficult to catch the culprit on camera without people coming together. PMC responds they visit but can't take decisive action without photo or video proof of the culprit. Let's start with Pune. Who is in?

@KshitizCritic I just cannot see Shri Ram in Ranbir.

The Meltdown started by #Dhurandhar2 will not stop anytime soon, The wave of change has arrived in Bollywood. A Full Fledged Accurate #Ramayana will Burn the Ecosystem completely, Director Nitesh Tiwari has Spend 10 Years on research and writing of Ramayana, Pundits and Rishi have been consulted for accuracy and precision. Get Ready to witness the most accurate and Precise Ramayana ever. Never seen before in Indian Cinema is arriving.

@omjain23 @ImMemesupplier I wish Elon gives us the filters for designing our own feed as per OG Twitter, X News App. and IG Twitter

@ImMemesupplier I just saw this on IG. Why is my feed same over different apps

Moment of the day

Already a flyover takes 6 years to build down here and then we get this, a very friendly neighbour with highly intellectual leadership wanting to make us redo the building.

Why don't these guys sort all this fighting by a 1:1 death match? If not this, its always the innocent people dead.

@TenzingLamsang India provides something more crucial and fundamental - human capital

What will India do if Saudi Arabia invokes its defence pact with Pakistan to attack Iran. With the US losing credibility in the Gulf will India accept a Pakistani security and nuclear umbrella over the GCC. GCC countries already banning Indian movies that hurt Pakistani pride.

@InspireeMilions also the cycles, Pune was supposed to be a cycling city

Looking more or less like Pune with Sahyadri backdrop. Pune needs large scale tree plantation initiative to bring back its glory

@ANI F 117 nighthawk was shot down in 1999 when it got captured in radar while opening hatches to deploy missiles

#WATCH | On reports of a US F-35 being hit, Austrian aerial warfare analyst and historian Tom Cooper says, "Stealth doesn’t make aircraft invisible or undetectable. Over the past 10 to 15 years, Iran has developed multispectral air defence systems... Reportedly, several stealth aircraft have been damaged in the past few weeks, though this is the first time it has been recorded with thermal camera footage, which Iran has made public..." He also says, "Iranian UAVs are less effective against Israel due to the multi-layered defence systems surrounding the country, including Jordanian air defences... However, Iran has surprised the US military, particularly by exploiting the US Army’s complacency with its radar systems..."

@Kulfei vadhdivasachya shubhechha

i have been so non challant about my birthday since morning but i just realised i am actually an attention seeker so wish me 👇🏻

Met someone in the bus who is ex-isro and works at a company that is solving in the Quantum Communication space in India. Wild how you just come across people.

Came to Bangalore, romanticised some past memories, and now leaving. Wish I could stay and build from here - but can't at the moment.

@Naina_2728 I use it to make png, icons or such random stuff

okay but fr quick question who is ACTUALLY using manus ai (curious)
