AI is killing All About Berlin. When you Google something, you used to get a link to my website, but now you get an AI-generated answer trained on my work. This has a devastating impact on traffic.

Left: @ANI posts MUTED video of Modi-Meloni fearing his stupidities might be exposed... Right: But Meloni posts the same video with AUDIO.. and predictably Modi stupidly does "Hahahaha" for no reason..

Bigger wealth transfer happening in front of our eyes. Pubic sector as well as individual wealth being transferred to oligarchs. All critical infrastructure, assets will be owned by these family controlled businesses.

The last time this man was interviewed, he behaved like gen AI. Drank lots of water and gave wrong answers.

@makemytripcare @makemytrip still no progress, horrible experience

@makemytripcare no updates on refund and I'm stuck talking to the helpless bot on call, horrible experience

If you work for a living, your share of GDP has never been lower If you hoard capital for a living, your share of GDP has never been higher

This is Yogendra Upadhyay, Education Minister of Uttar Pradesh. He summoned the media to speak on a very important issue of national emergency. Do you know what it was? The Poem - Rain Rain go away Come again another day Little Johny wants to play Rain Rain go away He says that Johny by asking Rain to go away has insulted India’s traditions and values and hence this poem should be removed from all textbooks 😭😭 Literal clowns 🤡 are ruling this country and you can’t even do anything about it.

This will cause less outrage and receive less media coverage than if a few eggs were accidentally served in certain states’ mid-day meals. All hell would have broken loose in that case.

Comment section everytime someone calls out casteism

One question from the article makes me very uncomfortable - “Have we not lived here peacefully all our lives? Is living peacefully not development? Mangroves are not vacant land. The coast is not empty space. And the Kolis are not obstacles to modernity. Good piece which takes the development debate ahead by @ameytirodkar

@asmita_10 Yeaah it made sense to me as well. Anyway was eventually able to get to the agent my usual route of complaining I'll never book with mmt again 5 times

@mortifight Oops! I wish I could help. I generally select this and it works. The idea is to choose an option where the ROI for the company works in favour of keeping a human agent.

If you are looking for the worst implementation of AI by a large organization, look no further. The award goes to none other than @makemytripcare and @deepkalra. There is no way you can talk to a human being - even in urgent situations. My flight from SFO to Delhi was cancelled and I have been struggling for two months to get my refund. During these two months, not even a single time I have been able to talk to a human being. If the bot that they have implemented, was submitted as a first year engineering project, would have got a definite C- MMT case study alone has the potential to damage the perception that AI led customer support can be of any value to customers.

@asmita_10 @harshdeeprapal @makemytripcare @deepkalra It asked me to select within or outside India and for both said go to website then cut the call 😭. Am I missing something?

@harshdeeprapal @makemytripcare @deepkalra There's a trick. In the IVR options, always choose the option to book a new flight. They'll always connect you to a human agent. And then ask them about the refund status naturally. The person often doesn't know the IVR option chosen. Works each time for me.

First, the Ministry of Petroleum sits on my RTI for 2 months. Then, they play a shell game, deflecting it to ARAI and OMCs. Now, ARAI hides behind "confidentiality" to suppress the research reports. ​If the Govt cited IOCL, ARAI, and SIAM studies in their press release to push the E20 mandate, why is the data now a state secret? What’s "confidential" about mileage drops and engine corrosion? ​This isn't about trade secrets; it’s about a total lack of accountability. The refusal to share reports only confirms the suspicion: the Ministry lied in their press release, and the "extensive research" is a ghost. Millions of vehicle owners are being used as guinea pigs for a policy backed by zero transparent science. @PetroleumMin @HardeepSPuri @arai_india @siamindia @IndianOilcl

@makemytripcare I have DMed

the two pieces together! worlds apart…

MK Stalin- 1.02 lakh votes deleted in Kolathur constituency, he lost by 8,795. Mamata- 51,000 votes deleted in Bhabanipur seat, she lost by 15,000. Kejriwal - 38,000 votes deleted in New Delhi constituency & he lost by 4,000. (2025) Three prominent Chief Ministers of opposition were defeated by mass deletion of votes. If you still don’t see the pattern and believe they lost because of anti-incumbency then the joke is on you.

Why Did Sridhar Vembu Really Come to India? The story you've been sold: A billionaire tech entrepreneur renounces Silicon Valley, returns to a Tamil Nadu village, lives simply, cycles to work, talks about dharma and reversing brain drain. Simple living, high thinking. A saint in a cotton shirt. The story the California courts tell: He moved to India in late 2019. Filed for divorce in 2021. In between, he transferred ownership of Zoho's US subsidiary to entities controlled by his associate Tony Thomas and his sister Radha Vembu, who now holds an estimated 47.8% stake in the company, without his wife's knowledge or consent. A California court didn't mince words. It found that Vembu had acted "without regard for respondent's interests in community assets and without regard for the law." It ordered him to post a $1.7 billion bond. Unprecedented, the court itself said. His wife Pramila Srinivasan, who by her own account supported the household in Zoho's early years and was kept in the dark about the ownership restructuring, is still fighting the case in California. Their son, who has autism and requires lifelong care, lives with her in the Bay Area. He is 26 years old. Vembu left him behind. The move to rural India wasn't a philosophical act. It was a jurisdictional one. California's community property law requires marital assets to be split equally in a divorce. The solution, apparently, was to move the assets and himself out of California's reach before the divorce became formal. The village was the alibi. The dharma was the disguise. This is the conclusion the evidence points to. The trial is not yet concluded and Vembu has denied all allegations, calling them complete fiction. But the court, looking at the same evidence, found his explanations not credible. And then came the reward. The Modi government gave him the Padma Shri on January 26, 2021 and appointed him to the National Security Advisory Board just days later, in February 2021. The formal divorce filing came in August that year. The government honoured him while the marriage was already in ruins and the asset transfers were already underway. But the courts and the Padma Shri are almost secondary. The real villainy is what he did to millions of ordinary Indians who believed him. The man built an entire public persona on selflessness, on the idea that he had walked away from wealth and comfort for the sake of rural youth, for India, for something larger than himself. People quoted him. Teachers cited him. Young men from small towns looked up to him. It was a performance. Underneath the saint was a man who had abandoned his wife of nearly three decades, walked away from a son who needed him, moved a billion dollar empire out of legal reach, and dressed the whole operation up as enlightenment. That is the real story of why Sridhar Vembu came to India.
