@tamaybes I would love to join this team, but not in Cali, lol. I love my countryside living. 🤣🥲 Google should invest more in non cali offices.

@Aalok_Pradhan I really hate doing this, but….. like mom, like son. 🥲 In this case, the son is definitely a reflection of the upbringing.

@notCloutbay 19? 🙄 Brother, she looks 38 even with all that plastic; and all the mental health issues she’s got going on. I pity the guy she’d end with. Good grief, what’s OnlyFans done to this world! 🤦🏽‍♂️

@theo Anything related to UX. Even Opus 5.5 struggles to understand the full user journey of an existing app even after a lot of hand holding. I endup redoing it manually half the time.

[Ani @AniSri016]

Good AI governance is necessary, but this is what bad governance looks like.
Claude mistakes a fictional character's dialogue for a mental health crisis, refuses a harmless writing request, and starts lecturing the user and with Anthropic already talking about Claude's "soul" and entertaining questions about AI consciousness, we're entering some seriously weird territory.

Safety guardrails should protect users, not turn AI assistants into patronizing hall monitors that can't distinguish fiction from reality.

PM Modiji, an embarrassment? Did you see yourself in the video as you were escorted out with the cops. Everyone on the plane cheered for you to be detained.

You are an embarrassment to all Indians as a whole @abhijeet_dipke. You are a scammer and you made thousands of people suffer by showing them propaganda videos thinking it was a win, but you lost. What's one thing that you have done that you're proud of? You tried to be an anarchist and incite riots with a larger intention backed by some very big players.

But let's put all that aside and see what the Honorable PM Shri. @narendramodi has done for India.

He took nominal GDP from about $2 trillion in 2014 to over $4 trillion by 2026. On PPP he pushed it from around $6.5 trillion to nearly $19 trillion while keeping India the world’s third largest economy. After the 2020 COVID contraction he delivered a 9.7 percent rebound and then kept real growth in the 7 percent range for years. He ran one of the largest vaccination drives anywhere. CoWIN under him handled bookings, slots and certificates at scale and recorded well over a billion doses, including a single day of 2.5 crore shots. Through Vaccine Maitri he sent doses to more than 100 countries while India was still vaccinating its own people.

He focused on everyday local improvements that actually change how people live. Under him the Jal Jeevan Mission took rural tap water from about 17 percent of households in 2019 to over 80 percent, adding more than 12 crore new connections. Swachh Bharat built over 12 crore toilets and declared rural India open-defecation free. Ujjwala gave more than 10 crore LPG connections. PMAY sanctioned crores of houses in rural and urban areas, with a large share in women’s names. Saubhagya electrified remaining households. Jan Dhan opened 50-60 crore accounts, mostly for women and rural people, and with Aadhaar he made direct benefit transfers the norm so money reaches people instead of getting stolen in the middle. Highways under him grew from 91,000 km to over 146,000 km. Airports nearly doubled. Metro networks expanded past 1,000 km. UPI under him became the world’s biggest real-time payments system.

On defence he drove production from around ₹44,000 crore in 2013-14 to a record ₹1.78 lakh crore in 2025-26, almost four times higher. He turned exports from just ₹686 crore to ₹38,424 crore, more than 50 times, reaching over 80 countries. Private sector share rose to about 24 percent. He pushed Tejas into service with larger orders, commissioned the indigenous aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, and made BrahMos largely Indian while enabling its exports. He acquired Rafales and S-400s that performed during Operation Sindoor, added naval Rafale-Ms with technology for Indian weapons integration, and cut Russia’s share of imports from around 70 percent to 40 percent by dealing more with France, Israel and others. Positive indigenisation lists and Atmanirbhar policies under him forced more local manufacturing. He set a target of ₹3 lakh crore production and ₹50,000 crore exports by 2029.

In space he opened the sector to private players in 2020 and followed it with the Indian Space Policy 2023 and IN-SPACe as the single-window agency. Space startups grew from one in 2014 to over 400 by 2026, with private investment rising nearly six-fold to over $600 million. Companies like Skyroot, Agnikul, Pixxel and Dhruva began testing launch vehicles and satellites. Under him ISRO achieved Chandrayaan-3’s soft landing near the Moon’s south pole in 2023, the first country to do so and the fourth overall to soft-land on the Moon. He oversaw Aditya-L1, India’s first dedicated solar mission placed at the L1 point. ISRO under him launched over 430 satellites including nearly 400 foreign ones for dozens of countries, set a record with 104 satellites on one PSLV, demonstrated space docking with SpaDeX, and advanced Gaganyaan human spaceflight plus plans for the Bharatiya Antariksha Station. A group captain flew to the ISS on an Axiom mission.

After the Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people he ordered Operation Sindoor, which hit nine terror camps in Pakistan and PoK in one night. On China he strengthened the Andaman-Nicobar Islands and the Great Nicobar project near the Malacca Strait where most of China’s oil passes, and advanced the Sabang port cooperation with Indonesia. He kept pushing IMEC despite regional wars. He moved semiconductors from announcements to commercial production at facilities like Micron and Kaynes.

You got detained at the airport for a protest and released the next day. That is your record so far.

[Ani @AniSri016]

Expanding on Lydia's tip, because "just set it to 1h" isn't the whole story.

The 1h cache isn't free. Cache writes cost 2x input at 1h vs 1.25x at 5m. Reads are 0.1x either way, and every hit resets the timer. So 1h only pays off when an agent sits idle past 5 min and then keeps working. A subagent that finishes in 2 min just pays the higher write rate for nothing. That's why it isn't the default.

How I use it:

Main convo: on a sub (within plan usage) you already get 1h. On an API key or cloud provider it's 5m, so set "promptCacheTtl": "1h" in settings.json.

Subagents: I don't set subagentPromptCacheTtl globally. I put cacheTtl: 1h in the experimental frontmatter of only the agents that wait on test runs, builds, or other agents. Quick search/explore agents stay at 5m.

Why per-agent: env var beats settings.json beats frontmatter, so a global setting overrides your per-agent picks.

Gotchas: needs Claude Code v2.1.242+ (v2.1.248+ for frontmatter). FORCE_PROMPT_CACHING_5M=1 overrides everything. On a sub, once you dip into usage credits your main convo drops to 5m too.

Check it's actually working: run claude -p "hello" --output-format json and compare ephemeral_1h_input_tokens vs ephemeral_5m_input_tokens.

Indian companies are also waiting for the same approvals, so the process is being applied equally. The government has said Starlink, Jio Satellite, and OneWeb are all at the same stage and still waiting on security clearances. Spectrum was given out administratively instead of through an auction. That’s what Starlink wanted, even though Ambani’s Jio pushed for an auction.
Meanwhile, law-abiding and regulation-following international companies operate freely and make serious money in India. In FY25:
•Apple India did ₹79,378 crore (~$9 billion) in revenue and ₹3,196 crore in profit, and has about 28% of the smartphone market by value.
•Microsoft India did ₹28,754 crore (~$3.2 billion) in revenue, up 27%.
•Google and Meta basically own digital ads, with gross ad revenue of roughly ₹34,700 crore and ₹29,400 crore.
•AWS India alone did ₹16,800 crore.
At the same time Huawei and BYD have been blocked or heavily restricted in the US for years. China is a real security problem, no argument there, but so is Starlink which has already shown it can just switch off internet over Russia, and it’s had a clear role in Iran. Would you be fine if Elon woke up one day and cut Starlink for US aircraft carriers or any Pentagon operations?

Your guy Elon is also all about himself, has plenty of narcissistic tendencies and people are wary of that.

[Ani @AniSri016]

Is AI making people this dumb? Are you serious?
Your random provider on OpenRouter still parses your requests, can deny service based on the request even for uncensored models, and remove them whenever they want.

You can download the weights on your machine, modify the model as you want, use it for research or just day-to-day work, and not pay a penny to anyone or worry about the model being pulled off the internet. Why's this so hard for people to understand?

[Ani @AniSri016]

@aravind Something I told some rando on another post. Starlink sucks. I had it for 2 months and it was unusable combined with the sloppy support.

https://t.co/7ekFbVqEHV

[Ani @AniSri016]

India’s professional and student classes in the cities are already well served by solid fixed and mobile broadband; the slop infographic you posted that suggest otherwise are simply SLOP. What Musk has actually targeted are students and people in remote areas, the groups for whom reliable connectivity is still patchy. Those groups, like the bulk of the population, already conduct almost all of their digital life on a phone. Banking, work, education, entertainment and even construction or building management are handled through apps. Desktop and laptop use remains a minority habit.

I was in India not long ago and joined meetings on a Mac from a remote village on perfectly usable Airtel 5G; the connection held without issue. The students and users in remote areas Musk has spoken about are largely content with mobile data and have little practical need for traditional computing hardware. The ones in cities are well served by Jio and Airtel, given minor inconveniences here and there, but Starlink isn't great either, I had it for 2 months and it was an abysmal failure with sloppy support and given Musk's mental status, ego, track record and temperament, it does not strike me as a particularly reliable alternative (See Russia vs Ukraine war, Starlink's role in Iran etc).

A basic look at the market would have made that distinction clear before the talking points about local oligarchs were simply repeated.

@greatbong Doval sahab put his family (The whole Gandhi family and @INCIndia ) and his friends (across the border) out of business. I'm surprised he doesn't have more resentment.

[Ani @AniSri016]

If you did this to a cop here in the US, you would have a whole magazine clip inside you, and rightfully so. As someone that backs the blue here, I would want them to give the same treatment there.

Also, videos are forever. This hooligan is going to soon find out the consequences of her action.

[Ani @AniSri016]

I've talked to several family members back in India, some very affluent, some normally affluent and a few up and coming. After this tirade, even those that were interested aren't interested anymore. Plus they've heard my experience with Starlink and their sloppy support and now wouldn't go anywhere near it.

People are unhappy about the @airtelindia and @reliancejio monopoly. Some people were looking forward to Starlink coming when the news came out in 2021, but after everything this guy has done to show that he's the boss and he can do what he wants, everyone is wary.

The other thing is, in the last 10 years more reality has come to light in India. For decades the school textbooks taught a cleaned-up version of the last 300 years. They focused on the railways, the legal system, the English language and the idea that British rule brought order and progress, while downplaying or skipping the economic drain, the deindustrialization of Indian industries, the famines, the land revenue systems that extracted wealth, and the way the colony was structured to serve British interests. A lot of that older framing has been challenged in public discussion, on social media, and in newer popular histories. People now see the colonial period more clearly as a period of extraction and control rather than a net civilizing project. That shift has made a lot of people more wary of outside actors who show up talking about what is good for India while expecting the local process to bend for them. So the skepticism is higher than it used to be.

[Ani @AniSri016]

@elonmusk @RapidResponse47 @POTUS Are you going to shut off Starlink to Ukraine, Lone Musk? Ambani wanted me to check with you quick.

[Ani @AniSri016]

@patryn23 The parochial condescension is mutual. You have constructed an entire morality play in which Elon is a selfless cartographer of the underserved and Indians are merely paranoid nationalists protecting their fatcat. It is a neat story. It is also wrong on nearly every material point.

India’s professional and student classes in the cities are already well served by Jio and Airtel. Fixed and mobile broadband are not theoretical there; they are daily infrastructure. The circulating infographics that claim otherwise are inaccurate. The actual numbers are clearer still. Wireless data subscribers exceeded a billion by March 2026. Average consumption sat at roughly 25 GB per month industry-wide, and Jio users were north of 43 GB. That is not the behaviour of a population starved of connectivity. It is the behaviour of a population that has priced data so cheaply it has become ambient.

The bulk of the country, including the students and remote users Musk has gestured toward, already conducts almost the whole of its digital life on a phone. Banking, work, education, entertainment and even construction and building management run through apps. Desktop and laptop use remains a minority habit. I was in India not long ago and joined meetings on a Mac from a remote village on Airtel 5G. The link held. The people Musk has framed as waiting to be saved are, in the main, already online and largely content with mobile data. The residual gaps are real, but they are narrower and more specific than the saviour narrative requires.

What makes the “limited market” framing especially dim is that the same population is already a primary extraction zone for the rest of big tech. Google India’s gross advertising revenue reached roughly ₹34,700 crore in FY25. Meta India’s hit about ₹29,400 crore and was growing faster. Together they dominate the country’s digital advertising market, which itself runs into the tens of thousands of crores and keeps expanding. YouTube, WhatsApp, Instagram and Facebook count hundreds of millions of Indian users each. The data volumes, the attention, the behavioural exhaust, and the training sets those users generate are not trivial. They are a core input into the advertising engines and AI models of companies whose valuations rest in part on exactly this scale. India is not a charity case waiting for satellite internet; it is one of the largest and most intensively harvested digital markets on the planet, low ARPU and all.

Starlink itself is not yet commercially available in India. It holds a GMPCS licence and IN-SPACe authorisation, as do OneWeb and Jio’s satellite arm. All three remain subject to the same pending security clearances. The government’s public position is that none has been singled out. Musk’s public suggestion that unnamed oligarchs are uniquely blocking him is, at best, incomplete. Separately, those who have used Starlink elsewhere have not uniformly described it as a miracle. Two months of it produced an abysmal experience and indifferent support. Given the operator’s temperament and track record, treating it as a reliable public good requires a degree of faith the service has not always earned.

As for the revenue theatre on X: the heavily discounted Indian subscriptions have long been a rounding error. That is not a revelation. It is the ordinary consequence of a low-ARPU market. Relax, as you say. No one is under the impression that SpaceX’s balance sheet turns on India. The more interesting question is why a market that already delivers high volumes of cheap mobile data, that already feeds enormous advertising and data value to the rest of big tech, and that has already licensed competing satellite operators, should be treated as an empty wilderness awaiting rescue by a man whose local regulatory path is still incomplete.

A basic look at the TRAI numbers, the licensing sequence, and the actual advertising filings would have made most of this clear before the loaded questions and the oligarch morality play were simply repeated. So perhaps stop inventing the market from the outside and talking through your hat.

Laypeople, please don’t do it. The way Elon does things, I wouldn’t believe there’s enough security and in case of a breach he’ll just blame someone else and get on with his life while a average human will end up suffering with a breached card and dealing with bank.
