Good I don't have an identity, else it surely would have taken a hit in these times.

@urbancompany_UC Care economy can be the next IT services for India. Of course, lot of things need to be reimagined. Industrialization of exports. Formalization of supply. Should be feasible with expected levels of employment. @urbancompany_UC can lead the way. Govt. also has a huge role.

Unnecessary things will become more valuable

Unnecessary things are what make life rich.

seeing quite a few "personal ai agent" startups being both launched and funded. 99.9% of humanity doesn't need a "daily morning briefing" or a "searchable second brain". feels like we are in the "hammer looking for a nail" stage of the lifecycle of this tech.

Just one company needs to re-imagine it into a 10x experience. The industry will soon follow.

Now that routine customer support is automated, it's an opportunity for companies to build exemplary, human-first customer service. Empathetic and thoughtful.
The productivity gains need to be channeled toward this rather than toward "cost savings".

The live coverage of this world cup win feels quite jarring (at least what I see on Hotstar). Too much nationalistic fervour.

I must have been living under a rock, but Department of WAR?
We are either in a Monty Python sketch or a George Orwell novel.

This week, Anthropic delivered a master class in arrogance and betrayal as well as a textbook case of how not to do business with the United States Government or the Pentagon. Our position has never wavered and will never waver: the Department of War must have full, unrestricted access to Anthropic’s models for every LAWFUL purpose in defense of the Republic. Instead, @AnthropicAI and its CEO @DarioAmodei, have chosen duplicity. Cloaked in the sanctimonious rhetoric of “effective altruism,” they have attempted to strong-arm the United States military into submission - a cowardly act of corporate virtue-signaling that places Silicon Valley ideology above American lives. The Terms of Service of Anthropic’s defective altruism will never outweigh the safety, the readiness, or the lives of American troops on the battlefield. Their true objective is unmistakable: to seize veto power over the operational decisions of the United States military. That is unacceptable. As President Trump stated on Truth Social, the Commander-in-Chief and the American people alone will determine the destiny of our armed forces, not unelected tech executives. Anthropic’s stance is fundamentally incompatible with American principles. Their relationship with the United States Armed Forces and the Federal Government has therefore been permanently altered. In conjunction with the President's directive for the Federal Government to cease all use of Anthropic's technology, I am directing the Department of War to designate Anthropic a Supply-Chain Risk to National Security. Effective immediately, no contractor, supplier, or partner that does business with the United States military may conduct any commercial activity with Anthropic. Anthropic will continue to provide the Department of War its services for a period of no more than six months to allow for a seamless transition to a better and more patriotic service. America’s warfighters will never be held hostage by the ideological whims of Big Tech. This decision is final.

Wow. Already done for Cowork. See Scheduled Tasks added as well. The speed of improvement is immense

I hope @AnthropicAI is currently working on making Cowork, Code and Projects be able to work together

In 1975, developmental psychologist Dr. Edward Tronick sat a mother and her baby face to face and filmed what happened when the mother suddenly stopped responding.
First the mother plays normally, smiling, talking, making eye contact. The baby mirrors everything, laughing, pointing, babbling back. Then the mother goes blank. No expression, no response, nothing. Within seconds the baby notices. She smiles harder. Points. Waves. Screeches. Uses every tool she has to get her mother back. When nothing works, she turns away, loses control of her posture, and collapses into herself with what Tronick described as “a withdrawn, hopeless facial expression.” The moment the mother re-engages, the baby recovers almost instantly. Three minutes of emotional absence from a parent did that to an infant. It became one of the most replicated findings in developmental psychology.
This was 1975, before smartphones existed. Now look around any park, restaurant, or living room. How many babies are looking up at a parent who is scrolling instead of looking back?

this quote from Carl Jung hits so hard.
“The world is full of people suffering from the effects of their own unlived life. They become bitter, critical, or rigid, not because the world is cruel to them, but because they have betrayed their own inner possibilities. The artist who never makes art becomes cynical about those who do. The lover who never risks loving mocks romance. The thinker who never commits to a philosophy sneers at belief itself. And yet, all of them suffer, because deep down they know: the life they mock is the life they were meant to live.”

I'm doing a lot. Much more than before. But is that a good thing? Much easier to get scattered. Focus is much more a superpower now.

A major outcome of the living of life should be the building of taste.

TIL galgotias university files more patents than all IITs combined.
not because they’re innovating. bcz they figured out the cheat code.
filing a patent in india costs ₹1,600.
govt reimburses up to ₹2 lakh per filing.
that’s a 125x return. before the patent does anything.
so universities found the playbook:
file 1000 patents → collect ₹20cr → boost NIRF rank → attract more students → collect fees → repeat
the patents? take a guess 🤡
india ranks 5th globally in patent applications.
last among the top 6 in grant rate.
japan converts 70% of filings into grants.
we convert 40%.
we ain’t building but chasing wrong metrics.
and the worst part? the system rewards it.
NIRF counts raw filings, not grants. so the incentive is to file garbage at scale, not build real IP.
this is what happens when you optimize for the scoreboard instead of the game.
we’re really good at looking innovative.
not as good at being it.
fix is simple btw:
reimburse at grant stage, not filing stage. tie incentives to commercialization. weight NIRF on grants, not applications.
but simple fixes don’t happen when the people gaming the system are also the ones writing the policy. need young + smart policy makers
innovation isn’t a form you fill. it’s a product you build. 🫡

Galgotias, now in the news for robots, is the same university whose faculty once published a paper suggesting that thali and bell vibrations could kill coronavirus. My heart goes to the students of this university who will feel ashamed to say where they are studying.
