Hello Sir, I beg to differ. You may have heard about how USA used Claude and ChatGPT for defense. You may have also heard about Anthropic Mythos with a capability to bring down almost any system in the world. Out country is not safe. We can't afford not to have our own hardware or our own models. We need to have models that are at par with Anthropic and OpenAI. Soon. Only our government have that kind of money. No one else can do this on their own.

India doesn't need to lead the world in building the most advanced AI models. But it must lead in ensuring benefits of AI are widely shared. @rvenk and I have an op-ed in The @EconomicTimes economictimes.indiatimes.com/opinion/et-com…

I am curious. What happens if @elonmusk wins this case? what is the objective? make everything OpenAI builds to open source? make it free? Raise billion dollars in donations and make sure it keeps happening every year to maintain the infra or build new infra? Can a for profit company acquire not for profit? Whats the idea? I mean if its matter of principles then data itself used to train the models may not be acquired with the proper legal consents. So whats the deal here?

Here's a rough summary of Elon Musk’s 1 hour and 40 minute long testimony today during the OpenAI trial. He will resume his testimony tomorrow. • Argues the case has huge implications: "It is not ok to steal a charity. If the defendants are found not guilty, this case will become caselaw. It’ll give license to looting every charity in America. The consequences of this case go far beyond me or everyone here. The entire foundation of charitable giving in America will be destroyed." • Says OpenAI was founded as a nonprofit, open-source counterweight to Google, focused on AI safety. • Claims the shift to a for-profit structure violated that mission. • Says his AI concerns date back to conversations with Larry Page, who he felt wasn’t taking AI risk seriously. • Elon says he tried to warn Obama about AI, but that Obama felt AI was not good enough (back then) to seem scary smart. "Here we are in 2026, AI is very smart." • Believes AI could surpass human intelligence as soon as next year and poses existential risk in the hands of the wrong people: “If you have someone who’s not very trustworthy in charge of AI, that’s very dangerous for the whole world.” • Elon framed his companies (SpaceX, Neuralink, xAI) as part of a broader mission to protect humanity’s future. • Emphasized OpenAI’s original goal: AI for the good of humanity, not profit-driven control. • Elon's main argument is that OpenAI abandoned its founding principles, and that precedent could reshape both AI governance and charitable trust. • Larry Page refused to speak to Elon Musk again after Elon recruited Ilya Sutskever to join OpenAI. Elon viewed Ilya as the “number one” most valuable member at Google. • Elon thought in the early days, OpenAI's corporate structure would be a nonprofit funded initially with donations, but there could potentially be a parallel for-profit that is owned by the nonprofit and funds the nonprofit: “We (Sam Altman and Elon) were in agreement that OpenAI would be a 501c3 charity. • Elon was not opposed to there being a small for-profit that provided funding to the nonprofit, as long as "the tail didn’t wag the dog." • Elon: “there are very few people who understand venture capital in Silicon Valley like I do."

I can understand that many moved for better life. But ours is a trivial sacrifice compared to those who fought for our country through all adversity. Almost everyone could have have a better life. Every freedom fighter. If not for those early visionaries who loved our country where most of the people didn't even have food, they decided that next generations needs to be better. They invested everything they had for education, Healthcare, industries. Our parents, We ourselves got some education and became capable because some sacrificed their comfortable, ideal life for us. We need to do the same. Now it's more important than ever. If every educated Indian starts to settle abroad in search of better life, I would say all the sacrifices people did for our country to gain freedom, are such waste

Dear Sridhar Sir, I’m writing this from Chicago, and I have deep respect for you, but I also want to share a lived perspective from many NRIs who chose to stay abroad. For most of them, it’s not just about earning more money, not any more. That’s a very small part of the story. The real reasons are the quality of everyday life and systems that work more consistently: - lower day-to-day corruption - less dependency on “connections” for basic services - stronger safety nets during emergencies - better civic discipline - cleaner cities and better infrastructure - roads without constant stress and unpredictability These are not luxury factors, that is just daily living in very fundamental ways. What is their incentive for them to return back ? How long will we just keep pushing the narrative of the homeland? Many of them didn’t “leave India behind.” They simply built a life where the system around them allows more predictability and stability. And to be honest, those of us who stayed back in India like you and I did so by choice too. We can choose to work on improving what’s broken here, instead of framing it as something that can be solved by asking people to return. Both paths matter. Both contributions are valid.

@Ashneer_Grover @svembu Please read carefully what @svembu is requesting. We need better future for next generations. And we need more like @svembu who dream for better India than sadistic @Ashneer_Grover who just keep complaining. India has to do better. No matter how horrible government is.

@Ashneer_Grover @svembu @Ashneer_Grover please remind everyone which country made you rich.

Open letter to Indians in America. -- Dear brothers and sisters from Bharat: Like I did 37 years ago, you arrived in America with no money but with a good education and cultural heritage from Bharat. You achieved outstanding success. America was good to us. For that we must remain grateful - gratitude is our Bharatiya way. Yet today, a significant number of Americans, may be not the majority but not too far from it either, believe that Indians "take away" American jobs and our success in America was unfairly earned. You may think the next election will fix this, but your choice would be between people who hate our Bharatiya civilisation and people who hate civilisation itself. That is the "hard right" vs "woke left" battle. You are mere bystanders to that conflict. Meanwhile there is one thing that is true now and will be true in the future: the respect Indians command world-wide will substantially depend on the fortunes of India herself. If India remains poor, the woke left will give us moral lectures with pity and the hard right, different moral lectures with scorn ("hellhole") and we must not confuse either with respect. Respect in today's world, along with prosperity and security, comes from one source: a nation's technological prowess. India produces sufficient brain power to achieve that prowess but alas we exported so much of that talent, particularly to America. As we develop that prowess in India, our civilisational strength will assert itself. As difficult as it is for many of you to contemplate this, please come back home. Bharat Mata needs your talent. Our vast youthful population needs the technology leadership you gained over the years to guide them towards prosperity. Let's do it with a missionary zeal. Respectfully Sridhar Vembu

I am sorry sir but I have disagreement about immigration. At the end of the day, it's not our country. Americans created environment that encouraged people to build technologically advanced country. They offered something that attracted good Indian talent. Now as well, our prestigious IITs and IIMs work towards identifying, training and providing top talent in the world to America. Not to India. How long are we going to use the argument that America is the country of immigrants. We have enough resources and money in India. India is 4th largest economy because of those who stayed here and worked hard to compete with the world. We take pride in cheering those who are successful in other countries as people with Indian roots. But we feel unfortunate to just keep investing in India to provide top talent to America and benefit nothing for our country.

As the son of immigrants from India, I take great pride in both my heritage and in the country that gave my family the opportunity to build a better life. My parents came to the United States legally in search of that opportunity. My mother spent 35 years working as a public school teacher. My father worked as an engineer. They instilled in my brothers and me a deep belief in hard work, public service, and giving back to the country that welcomed them. I am a product of that American story. I attended California’s public schools from kindergarten through medical school, became a doctor, and now have the privilege of serving our nation in Congress. That is what the American Dream looks like. The comments shared by President Trump are offensive, ignorant, and beneath the dignity of the office he holds. They reflect a fundamental misunderstanding of who we are as a nation. America has always been strengthened by generations of immigrants who come here, work hard, and contribute to our country. They do not weaken America — they strengthen it. America was built by people from all over the world who believed in its promise and worked tirelessly to make it better for the next generation. That’s the story of my family, and it’s the story of millions of families across our nation. President Trump, who was born into wealth and privilege, has never had to struggle the way so many immigrant families have. He does not understand the grit, sacrifice, and determination it takes to build a life from the ground up. He does not understand public service, and he does not understand the values that make America the greatest nation in the world. We are a nation of immigrants, and we are stronger because of it.

@CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis We just need to focus on one city this year for traffic discipline. Pune. Please form just one temporary department and force that will discipline Pune traffic. Just one year. We don't want smart city. We don't want water problem or any other problem solved for this one year. Just traffic. Can you please do that?

@elonmusk But without any meaningful engagement , the civilization as we know it will fall into chaos

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
