i was tired of stupid people on road so i hacked my helmet into a traffic police device 🚨

while i ride, ai agent runs in near real time, flags violations, and proof with location & no plate goes straight to police.

blr people - so now ride safe… or regret it.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

@manas_muduli Sad thing is no one will accept the political negligence. Lowest hanging thing is transferring the IAS/IPS. And make newbies take the charge who would be clueless of all the plans made over the last 2 months. Sad state of affairs. Give Army the task of Rath Yatra management. 2/2

Yesterday I went to Puri for Ratha Jatra and Lord oh Lord THE WAIT!
We had arranged for seating arrangements beforehand on top of a building near Petrol Pump on the Bada Danda and reached there at 6AM.
We waited, we waited and we waited. No sign of the Rathas. We finally gave up and left at night after waiting for 15 hours!
It was devastating! I felt so defeated, demotivated and broken.  Lakhs and lakhs of devotees who were waiting to catch a glimpse of the Lord on Chariots I am sure also echoed my feelings. We also had another Non Odia family with us and it was their first time visiting.  They were also frustrated by the end of everything. Who wouldn't be? You wait for 15 hours for the grand arrival of the Trinity but there's no end to your waiting because some humans with inflated Egoes think they can have their way with everything and even consider God beneath them! Yes! That's what yesterday's atmosphere at Banda Danda proved. Why delay the arrival of the Lord? First mismanage and then say oh it was the Lord's wish. Lord cannot wish for His devotees to have a Hard Time! If waiting for us individuals seated comfortably on top of buildings was so excruciating imagine the condition of young volunteers working on the ground, managing the crowd and lakhs and lakhs of devotees walking on the Bada Danda!
Infact the whole crowd management was done completely by students yesterday! And they did such a phenomenal job! It was because of them that crowd management was smooth. They worked tirelessly for more than 12 hours!
And our Odia Broadcast media (slow claps) there was hardly any TV News at night yesterday talking about this delay and mismanagement. Media is supposed to question, not remain silent. What have the times come to?
A thorough Investigation must be done into this mismanagement so that it is not repeated again.
Ratha Jatra is world famous and such gross neglect of the rituals and practices at Puri will backfire in the future. Big time everyone understands this.

Can you believe this isn’t a fraud text!Yes, it’s an official message from SBI! The audacity to send something like this is unbelievable.

Upon checking, I found that I had a small credit card due of 2-3k, and the representative verified all my details—she was indeed from SBI.

This kind of behavior is unacceptable, and the bank owes me an apology.

If they don’t address this, I’ll be filing a complaint against them for the language they used.

This is absolutely pathetic. And yes, I’m closing all my SBI accounts today itself!

@MPandey40122 @MEAIndia @PM_nepal_ @DrSJaishankar @PMOIndia @MofaNepal @IndiaInNepal @EONIndia I am sure she would be one who will be involved in destroying the evidence intentionally. And also have heard from the pass out batches of KIIT, how she tries to cover up all such incidences and deceive the students. People like you are a menace for an educational institution.
