Embarrassed with our CEOs

First of all that event with sam altman was embarrassing. The aftermath was even more embarassing, leading the embarrassment squad was https://twitter.com/C_P_Gurnani/status/1667140990413537284?t=dei0Qm2UKg8SZNb4fHEAmA&s=19 Dude accepted the challenge while paying his engineers 2.5LPA, running a service based company. After this he wants to compete with a proper product. His following tweets are just BS inspirational quotes and generic tweet about ramping investment in R&D. But how are you going to compete with open ai? Nothing has been said. As Indians we have a very big ego, instead of accepting something as feedback why do we always go all out and try to match the other person by words and not action. Then these leaders will go and say action matters a lot more than words. Admittedly, Sam didn't even mean that indian companies are hopeless. It's just that with 10M he said it's hopeless to compete on foundational models of open ai. We don't have a tech leader or an ecosystem where we can say that we can take on open ai. We don't even have a global product that competes with big tech. So why are we full of anger if somebody points out a fact. In comments, can we discuss a solution to the tech ecosystem being shit so we build the foundation on which we can eventually compete on a global level?

That ceo fellow is what you call hot air balloon. Literally zero knowledge of how things work but have to say something / anything that makes him ‘sound’ smart.

For me, the solution to this is to have more open source projects on different things. Doesn't have to be innovative, it just has to exists and be run so that we'll get into optimisation problems. These things will lead to creating even more OSS having learnt the problems and generalising stuff. Eventually we'll get to a point where we first compete with the likes of next/remix. The project will then have people who branch out because of common interests and build something better on top of this or something completely new. For me innovation is nothing but iterations and starts with something very simple. But right now we have to sow the seeds for that simple thing and get people into and make it work for a long period before we get to open ai.

Hot Take: Google will not exist in next 30 years

Atleast not in the form it is now. Found a rare good post on LinkedIn via Twitter which lists the reason why i think so. Also, I was reading psychology of money and one of the chapters discussed how GE used to be the most valued company in 2000s and how within 20 years, everything went to manhole. Google is seriously going through a leadership crisis. I hate Pichai from the gut. We Indians like him coz he's brown munda, but I have never seen such narrow minded CEO since Balmer.

ET Sam Altman Talk

The most cringe Q&A i have ever seen! Top tier investors and founders asking such dumb non relevant questions. We can defend as much as we want, but we Indians do have an inferiority complex when we interact with foreigners - in the end he called you hopeless, right?

Koo is shutting down

Another startup that could have been something had it not been for the bull market and Tiger investing unnecessarily. Over $66Mn raised, and now it's over.

Arrogant OpenAI engineer

The whole saga of Sam Altman revealed one thing that some folks in openai have God complex. This is similar to what I've read about their culture on Blind. Agreed that they are the biggest hotshot in tech industry currently but such arrogance is extremely distasteful.

Startup are brutal

1. Fancy talks from founders such as ownership, independence, building for next generation, speed etc 2. Learn new tech 3. Glofiying working at odd hours 4. Don't talk about stress and anxiety Start ups are not for weak heart and normal humans who have life after work. It's only for people who will give up their life to build somone else dream. Prove me wrong. An ex ola person cried infront of me for the workplace stress and unrealistic push

Why don't we have deep tech ?

Hi all, I graduated from IIT Delhi and have been working at well established startup since. So for a while I have been wondering why we don't have any deep tech startups doing innovation. Don't get me wrong, there are startups doing innovations but not the kind of innovation which we would call industry shattering or taking the level up a notch. Most of these innovations are just integrating what others are doing in an aggregated platform. I again wondered this today when I saw cognition launching Devin the AI software engineer. They have a pretty small yet highly talented team. We in India too have highly intelligent folks educating themselves in CS, why don't we have this mindset (even I don't have this mindset). Is it about the difference in culture or a sense of security that folks in the US have that helps them be free from an economic point of view and try innovative things ?
