It has always puzzled me why our current central govt often lets an issue escalate before stepping in to clarify its position. Would not early communication prevent much of the confusion in the 1st place?

I also wonder why we rarely adopt an iterative approach to policymaking, launching initiatives as pilots, learning from them & then scaling. Ethanol blending is a good example of how a phased rollout could have helped address concerns along the way.

I genuinely do not know what the strategic thinking/masterstroke is behind this communication style. Is there a larger play I am missing?

Or is the simpler explanation that the Ministry of Communications is responsible for telecom & postal services, not communication itself?

@chamath But all of this assumes that these intelligence tools will be in the hands of 'everyone,' tacitly agreeing to play by the same ethical and moral rules. Hardly anyone mentions that the major players today are narcissists or closet psychopaths... sans morals.

@Fintech03 You may be reading too much. Some scars feel deep because you are invested in it more. For me, that was the 2003 world cup. Lot of drama and the Indian team showed grit to arrive at the finals. And the match was lost in the first over of the game with 10 wides/nb by zaheer khan.

@TPageCW Whenever I see a blue tick, I know it is primarily engagement bait. The best response is to mute or block.

This should ideally be a wake up call for India.
But the Buyback Boys of Bangalore will now start singing lullabies of productivity gains from adoption of American AI for India and everyone will go back to sleep again.

@SaarasGlobal Make these self driving. They go back to their base stations after dropping. And you have solved last mile connectivity.

Let me explain why an AI art company just built a full-body medical scanner, because almost everyone is reading this as a random pivot.

Ultrasonic CT works by firing sound through your body and recording the ripples that scatter back. Half a million emitters the size of a grain of sand, surrounding you in water, each one listening. What comes back is noise. Reconstructing a clean 3D image of muscle and tissue from that scattered acoustic mess is an inverse problem, and it is brutally hard. The hardware is the easy part. Butterfly Network already makes the chips. The reconstruction is where every previous attempt stalled.

That reconstruction is the exact problem Midjourney spent years getting good at. Turning ambiguous input into a coherent image is what they do. They aimed it at sound waves instead of text prompts.

This is why the scan takes 60 seconds while a full-body MRI takes 60 to 90 minutes. Close to 100x faster, no radiation, no magnets, resolution down to a fraction of a millimeter.

Then read the part most people skipped. The scans happen at a spa. Hot tubs, cold plunges, and a machine that quietly images your whole body while you relax. The scan is a side effect. You barely notice it.

Run it forward. The plan is 50,000 machines doing a billion scans every month. Midjourney has no investors and no quarterly hardware margin to chase. The payoff was never the scan fee.

A billion monthly full-body scans is the largest longitudinal map of human anatomy ever assembled. Every model trained on it gets sharper, and every sharper model makes the next scan worth more. This was always an image company. They just found a kind of image nobody else could generate.

I don't know who else to tell this to, so I am going to tell my story here.

Every day is a struggle for a young business, but the last few months have been harder than usual.

We are a small Indian company. For more than ten years we have been building a homegrown brand in a product category dominated by big foreign players.

There are almost no Indian names in this space. We set out to be one.

We started in 2014. Over the years we began making parts in India instead of just importing, and we started selling in the US, Dubai, Nepal, Malaysia and South Africa.

We showed up at global trade fairs to represent an Indian brand on the world stage.

In 2023 we changed the import code we use for our product. We did not do this quietly. Every shipment was declared. Nothing was hidden. We didn't invent our approach.

We followed written professional advice and the way this product is treated in markets around the world.

And now we are facing a government demand running into tens of crores in duty recovery and penalties, plus personal penalties on the founders and even on an employee.

For a company our size, this is not a fine we can pay and move on from. This ends us.

We have not run from any of this. I am not built like that. It is not how I was raised. We have written to the authorities, met officials in person, and we have now filed a writ in the High Court.

All we are asking for is a fair treatment.

I set out to build in India and sell to the world. I am asking only that the system back honest founders trying to compete globally, instead of breaking them.

The process is the process, and it exists for a reason. But process should not feel like punishment.

From where I am standing today, it does.
I am not giving up. I have worked too hard for this. If you have read this far, please share it. If you know someone who can help, point them my way. Help me get the word out.
