Open AI/Anthropic have raised 130 B in the last week. Far too much money for building LLMs only. Obvious pivot is to build the application layer on top. Founders building applications over these LLMs need to rethink their time and effort. Go AI native instead of wrappers. 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Chennai holds virtually zero appeal for even for non-resident Tamils who grew up in major metros like Mumbai, Bangalore, Kolkata, or overseas.
Having spent my formative years on the West Coast across Mumbai, Daman, Goa, and Gujarat which sensitised me to an urban, highly cosmopolitan lifestyle mindset. But transitioning to Chennai for university feels like hitting a cultural brick wall; the city comes across as incredibly homogeneous, insular, and flat-out boring.
The city completely lacks a distinct, independent youth culture.
Instead, the social fabric is entirely dominated by an older demographic, conservative boomers and culture kangers who fiercely enforce traditional norms. Tamils outside TN don't do such antics themselves.
Because the lifestyle is dictated by elder-approved routines, there is a massive deficit of casual public activities, vibrant nightlife, or engaging weekend avenues to build a high-quality, modern social life.
The economic landscape also mirrors this rigid, old-school mentality.
Chennai is highly rewarding if you are in the manufacturing or blue-collar sectors, but it is an incredibly difficult terrain for white-collar career growth.
The tech ecosystem is overwhelmingly dominated by massive, process-driven IT service companies with strict hierarchies.
Outside of a highly concentrated SaaS pocket, there is a severe deficit of aggressively funded, product-based tech companies or global R&D hubs, creating a definitive growth ceiling for ambitious professionals.
Over the time, the emigration of highly skilled educated graduates and professionals in TN to overseas or to other cities in India is only going to intensity. It already has started BTW.
And people in TN will still continue to remain the same and vote for people in TVK, DMK etc. Even the BJP in TN is the same as the other parties.
Funding ok, businesses wise meh...It's kind of easier to build a good business outside Bangalore, than in Blore. Capital will find great companies, not the other way around...
Accurate - I say this as someone who was born here, grew up here & continues to live here. The scene is terrible if you’re not in finance/law/manufacturing. The tech “ecosystem” is basically Freshworks & Zoho. And if you’re in marketing, better pack your bags for Bengaluru :)

Opinion Poll
Total Seats: 58
AIADMK+: 27 to 35
DMK+: 23 to 31
TVK: 0
NTK: 0
This has been a traditionally strong Region for 🌱. But OPS screwed it in 2021 which led to DMK coming to power.
Now it is Battle Royale & OPS is adding 0️⃣ value to 🌅.
Vote transfer between Congress & DMK is a major hurdle.
TVK is not doing enough damage to DMK for NDA to win big in Deep South.
#TrichyEast A definite 3-corner clash.
No cakewalk for Vijay or anyone.
A CM candidate in Trichy after 15 years (Jaya @ Srirangam in 2011 was the last)
*#DMK's Inigo Irudayaraj has good name and connect in almost all streets of 24 wards in the constituency with 16 churches.
*Vijay cuts into minority, youth, and women votes, and anti-incumbency votes as well.
*DMK and #TVK are eyeing minority votes but the majority Hindus shall decide the fate this election unlike the last, #ADMK has a Hindu candidate is a point to note.

Explicit consent in a work place does not exist in vaccum. You chose a public life and PPL who are part of your public life are your coworkers. Exploiting coworkers in the name of consent is the foundation of the metoo movement...🙄🙄🙄🙄
Someone should inform Bramin Genes that any new state will still have to follow the same constitution. Does she mean a new nation with their own constitution..🫡🫡🫡.
The government is leaving us no option but to demand a 'Separate State for General Category', where we can make our own policies.
No Descrimination. No Reservation. No Freebies.
100% Merit State.

I just took down posts about the @TIME Gaza cover as a photo showing the apparent hunger of the participants clearly looked staged, that is, a separate angled shot of the cameraman who took the photo made clear that the subjects were posing for the photographer and not, as it appeared on the Time cover, waiting desperately for food.
A subsequent video of the scene that was shared seemed to suggest that while that photo was staged, the subjects in the video seemed desperate for food.
A @GAZAWOOD1 rebuttal credibly called into the question that video as also being staged.
As a result of the above, I took down all posts on the scene as I cannot definitely determine what the truth is on the ground in that scene.
While I think it is likely that access to food is challenging in Gaza, I hold Hamas entirely responsible due to their theft of aid and unwillingness to release the hostages to end the war.
அஜித்குமாரின் மரணம் அதிகார ஆணவ கொலை , ஒரு புகார் கூட சரியா பதிய படாமல் அதிகாரம் இருக்கும் திமிரில் நடந்த கொலை .
அது லாக்கப் மரணமே இல்லை முதலில் .
கொலையில் ஏதுடா பெரிது சிறிது ? யாருக்கு மாட்டு மூளை ? உனக்கா இல்லை எனக்கா ?
