Some of the best conversations happen over chai. ☕

Our #Pune meetup brought social impact leaders together to explore responsible #AI, data-backed programmes and #DPDP readiness.

A spontaneous plan that sparked conversations worth continuing.

Once you've discovered voice with LLMs there's no way you're going back to typing

[Andrej Karpathy @karpathy]

One pattern I find useful for working with LLMs is a nice long ramble session. Sometimes the LLM needs more bits to understand what you're trying to achieve, but you're too lazy to type them. In these cases I like to lean back, switch to /voice and just ramble for like 10 minutes, total mess, anything goes, full stream of consciousness. Sometimes I declare it up top, something like "switching to speech recognition sorry for any typos...". Sometimes I turn it into a small interview of a few turns. But I find that the LLMs are somehow very good at reconstructing long incoherent rambles and often their echo of your own tangle of thoughts comes out quite a bit cleaner than what you started with. The result is that you improve the mind meld and have to correct things less from that point on.

@svembu 100% agreed! Adding one more thing - it also gives introverts the voice to express freely without any constraint.

However, the anonymous comments feature in @zohoconnect is only available for use by Zoho team . Request to pls make it public ! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I forgot to do a web check in and was almost the last one to check in. Consequence - A free upgrade to the XL Seat with extra leg room!
Lesson - System always rewards the ones who don’t follow the rules!

Lovely perspective. If only our GDP and other economic structures were based on natural resources …

[Sameer Shisodia @zenx]

So how much of our wealth has come (or been stolen) from what rightfully belonged to the future generations? The mountains, soil, rivers, air, gazillions of species everything depends on?

Is us feeling rich merely like someone who's swiped a lot of stolen credit cards?

“Hey there’s so many ads in this platform - it’s so annoying to use”

I’ll give you a percentage of the ad revenue

“Hey let me create nice content so you can show more ads”

It’s interesting how human beings can be wired for desired behaviour!

[Akshay @akshayedzola]

@varunpk_ In hiring, vision plays a crucial role! My best hires were intrigued by stories I shared on Quora. The question is, is your company's vision compelling enough for someone to invest a career?

@varunpk_ Yes -- very difficult to replace tally in traditional setups. But Zoho Books can act your customer facing layer and then you could export the data to tally for accounting / audit purposes.

ChatGPT can think and process information from the internet now. Do we need knowledge workers anymore?

Completely in awe! 🤯🤯🤯
