Google down 8% bc Safari search queries are down, more people use AI.
Real innovators dilemma: What do you do if you’re Sundar?
Search is a $200B cash cow. AI generated answers are 10x+ expensive, hard to monetize.

@codeanand My mom would disown me for saying this but I no longer crave Idly and Dosa. I don’t miss it like I miss rice sometimes.

Took Meta AI app for a spin. Its interesting. Wonder if people showing off their AI prompts / creations (vs hand curated content) becomes the new social media. Meta has been relentless in integrating AI since the last 18+ months.

When me and my friend were losing our shirt with our investment in Meta, I tried consoling us by saying let’s stay invested bcos Mark is a rare entrepreneur and will figure it out. Here is Meta integrating AI in WhatsApp to make it an every day habit for the masses. 🫡

I never got around to a "16 hours in Trichy" photo essay – along the lines of @nytimes' 36 Hours series – last fall.
Since done is better than perfect, as with my previous post late last night, here are some pics for my Delhi 2025 time capsule.
A photo essay may yet follow.

@puneetiitm My question is coming from a point of seeking to understand - why don’t VCs know about this in the companies they invested in. Don’t startups have boards and audit committees?

Please don't commit fraud in the startup ecosystem. It hurts the ecosystem. We all want our ecosystem to thrive and not be seen as an ecosystem where folks look at each company with suspicion.

There’s something so bloody stupid about an exhausted body not falling asleep. Like the sheer idiocy of it is amazing.
Here is a bed. It is warm and safe. No predators. The air is cool. You are tired. This is the perfect time to sleep. Why the hell can you NOT!!!

@Austen Totally. While at the Emirates lounge in Dubai this weekend, I was thinking it has everything a 5-star hotel would have except a gym.
Subbu Palaniappan@subbupl
Don't know why more international airports / airport lounges don't have a gym. I would pay to use one.

If you opened a gym in an airport you could charge $50/hour
