June has been unexpectedly a very grateful month. Third article on AI and geopolitics :)

Happy that I pursued an idea that might have its way: India needs an AI dimension in its Act-East Policy.

Glad to have co-proposed some ideas on this industry policy pivot with @AVIRAL96

If anyone however is arguing using the eMudhra incident to say our foreign policy is bad, then mind you, because being a loose cannon doesn't make you smart.

Our foreign policy is still semi-Nehruvian, still benefiting from and maintaining ways to bring relics of Sino-Soviet split and has become transactional enough to achieve the goals Nehru saar did. So there is no shame in admitting that part.

Just said this because I saw someone making rather funny arguments under the garb of criticising eMudhra.

[Abhivardhan @IndusThink]

@Satvik_Pen Yeah. Scale-based rationalizations sometimes work, but not everytime. Some things are global standards and practices which can be used as an anchor to evaluate things, while some aren't.

[Abhivardhan @IndusThink]

What a eureka moment honestly. How far can someone go to make a classic joke of themselves?

[Scott Helme @Scott_Helme]

"Sorry we didn't get back to you yet, we've been too busy on Twitter and trying to keep our investors happy"

Unbelievable statement from eMudhra!

Okay, I was left with no choice but to analyse an article on legal tech in India. This so-called fascination towards Harvey and Legora alone is so weird.

The most dangerous people are those who are rich, powerful, smart, and intellectually lazy, unwilling to critically evaluate whether or not what they think is true actually is.

@GaryMarcus I might cite this quote for our upcoming book😎😅😭

[Abhivardhan @IndusThink]

On a derivative use of genAI, copyright won’t be a concern. Wasn’t a concern, trade secret / economic rights is the only ground but very hard to be build because if it is not specific, it means nothing. So honestly, people will less often wonder!

I hated copyright maximalism beyond a point honestly.

[Abhivardhan @IndusThink]

@Satvik_Pen It is deceptive, yeah

[Abhivardhan @IndusThink]

@crssroadkill Except 3 - I agree :P

I don't hate Gotchard. I just don't find it meaningful.

[Abhivardhan @IndusThink]

I don't get the context of this opinion by the editor.

India's major legacy companies are pro-United States, but obviously a political journalism editor won't understand industry journalism nor how industries work.

When they already are pro-America, what else do you want? There is remotely any Anti-Americanism. Social media opinions are not taken that seriously by anyone anymore unless the gravity of an issue is highly serious.

Plus, the failure of eMudhra and recent instances have shown people have written endless pieces on government-led protectionist measures, "policies" and instances of lax attitude to things.

American entities make well in India. Eleven Labs is beating Sarvam. What else do you want? Huh?

Observer Research Foundation and others already pitch for deeper India-US and India-Europe partnerships. What else do you want now?

There is genuine scepticism around both Indian and American establishments, both public and private. At least look through and acknowledge the real issues and bring sanity to the discourse.
