If we don't tell AI how to do something, it just defaults to "I will try to do it anyhow"

[Souvik Pan @SouvikPan12]

@arpit_bhayani til we scale renewables for power gen and chips, of course. The real bottleneck is silicon and clean, abundant energy to feed it

[Souvik Pan @SouvikPan12]

The world is hungry for more energy than ever

AI & data are driving compute demand through the roof

Population keeps rising → energy needs explode

ESG mandates are forcing a clean transition

Only one energy source can truly scale with us: Renewables

Many of us have already moved from "Google it" to "GPT it"

Everyone saying AI is going to replace people clearly don’t work with great people enough

[Souvik Pan @SouvikPan12]

@MohapatraHemant Anthropic is leading in the code reasoning and generation segment, while OpenAI dominates overall with significantly higher annualized revenue growth. Perplexity still trails because it hasn't reached a larger user base or launched new products at the scale of its competitors.

[Souvik Pan @SouvikPan12]

At early-stage startups, building just for today’s problem is overrated
A bit of foresight into what’s coming next can save mountains of tech debt
It’s the extra mile that compounds

[Souvik Pan @SouvikPan12]

It is hard to go back to @JavaScript once you get comfortable with @typescript

[Souvik Pan @SouvikPan12]

Everyone says "UX > UI", but few companies can deliver on it.
When I am in an underground metro with weak internet, Spotify doesn't freeze.

It adapts.

Great UX isn't flashy... It's smooth, invisible and quietly delightful.

If you need a large dataset of images to train your models, a smart approach is to create a filter that people enjoy using to transform themselves. Snapchat pioneered this strategy, and now OpenAI is following suit.

Value never gets destroyed, it just migrates from one place to another

With Physics Wallah filing for an IPO, if it does well it could open the door for other edtech companies to go public too

Being part of a pre-seed startup will always offer invaluable learning experiences simply due to the incredible speed at which everything evolves.
