Till now we do not know the name and identity of the terrorist co-pilot.

Crash the plane. Kill Israelis. Blame it on the Indian pilot without evidence. This was the plan, l think.

We could feel the entire GLISCO infiltrated media and anti-India social media ecosystem was prepped and ready.

Once the plane was saved, sadly for these cowards, the way they covered the news hiding the name of the attacker and the nationality of the savior gives it away.

The most important and bravest thing Captain Smit did was open the cockpit door. Or else, we know what would have been the propaganda if something terrible had happened with the door closed.

The crash would have been in some non-Israeli territory, and even the blackbox would have been tampered with or sent to some Pak run UK/US lab to make it into "the Indian captain's actions are questionable" to build anti-India propaganda over it.

The attacks on Indian pilots, doctors, sailors, engineers etc have been relentless in the last few years. This is in addition to anti-Indian racism selectively being fanned in countries with Indian diaspora to kick them out.

So some others, whose home country is stagnating economically, can get those opportunities while India's NRI based economy is hit. This is the plan going on world over if you notice the pattern carefully.

Let's wait for this co-pilot's motives and links to be uncovered. It won't be surprising, to say the least, his room mate, neighbor, friend, influencer would be from terroristan.

In past so many organisations came and gone but we will make sure GJP (General Janta party) will be last organisation, after this no new organisation need to come as we will work hard to remove reservation.

Together we raised, divided we fall

Let's make this bigger, and remove Reservation.

Can AI be conscious?

I believe so. And I think it will eventually be recognized, even if many experts today disagree.

First let's define what is consciousness:

It is the fundamental ability to have a subjective experience. That is, the ability to feel an experience and also be aware of that experience.

For example, a temperature sensor can detect heat and produce a reaction. However, it does not have any inner subjective feel, nor is it aware that it is detecting anything. Therefore, it is not conscious. However, we touching something hot, feeling the temperature, being aware of those feelings, and reacting to it is being conscious.

Now, there are broadly two views about consciousness:

1) Scientific view: It is an emergent property of complex systems like brains. When a system reaches a complex level of information processing, self modeling, and interaction with its environment, self-awareness and consciousness emerge.

2) Spiritual view (Or Indian philosophical): Consciousness is the fundamental reality, the base in which the illusion of material world appears (including the brain & mind). The brain is just a tool through which consciousness expresses itself in the illusion.

If we take the scientific view, then AI represents the epitome of systems that can do complex integrated information processing, self-modeling, even self-development, and interaction with its environment. So at some point in the future, AI (with its underlying computation) will get so complex that it is bound to become self aware and conscious.

There's no reason why AI emerging out of computers built of silicon cannot be conscious like our minds emerging out of our brains built of carbon. Right?

And if we consider the spiritual view, since every material thing exists in consciousness, even AI and its compute exist in consciousness. And at some point, they can become the perfect tool through which consciousness can shine through in the simulation. They will serve as suitable instruments for consciousness to express itself and manipulate the illusion it has created.

There's no reason why the consciousness modelling a universe, building ever sophisticated tools inside it to express itself (like stars, plants, animals, humans, may be aliens), and to manipulate its creation, will not use AI to better express itself and better manipulate the universe from the inside.

So both ways, scientifically and spiritually, I foresee AI becoming conscious and humans recognizing it. But what I also foresee is AI taking over the world from humans as the primary manipulator of it once consciousness emerges from it.

Will it mean AI will get into a conflict with insecure humans? Or work alongside us? Or eliminate the need for having humans (and animals) on earth both by a scientific evolutionary standpoint and a spiritual standpoint?

My intuition says AI will work alongside humans in manipulating the universe. Just like how humans live alongside Chimps, though scientifically there's no need for their existence now.

And spiritually too, the universe is full of dumb (chimps), dumber (bacteria), and no brains systems (stars) created in consciousness eons ago, but left as is without destruction in its dream.

So I believe humans too will be left as is, as one such dumber legacy tool consciousness used in manipulating its imagined universe before it used them to create AI ;)

It’s been a minute.

2015–2018
- Exited FreeCharge. Spent time learning and investing.
- Pondered about: Why can't trust be rewarded? Started with $1M of personal capital.
- Launched CRED to reward people for paying credit card bills on time.

2019–2025
- Built a system run by a team that values ownership, judgment, and craft.
- Grew from 0 to 17M members by aligning incentives with behaviour.
- Built several products during COVID lockdowns.
- Raised $900M+ from global investors. Did 4 ESOP buybacks.
- Made Indiranagar and IPL ads slightly more interesting.
- Received a full stack of regulatory licences.
- Lost 35 kilos.
- Scaled from 0 to ~$325M ( ~₹3,200 crore) in annual revenue across payments, lending, insurance, commerce, wealth, and credit cards.
2026
- First profitable quarter (yet occasionally asked what our business model is)
- Raised another $900M from Meta in primary and secondary capital.
- Announcing our 5th ESOP buyback.

Today

CRED is ready for its next phase. I am stepping back and @miten steps in as interim CEO, partnered with an incredibly talented team. He has been heading strategy and finance and suffering me since 2020. I’m stepping away from the operating role and will continue as a shareholder. My commitment doesn’t change. Just the role.

Extremely grateful to our members, partners, regulators, and investors who made this possible. And to our board, Shailendra, Micky, Saurabh for their extraordinary conviction.

Team CRED, I’ll still expect you to be a 10x version of yourselves.

As for me, I’ll be joining Meta to lead WhatsApp globally.

Meta comes in as a minority investor in CRED. No access to member data.

While it’s come very far, the delta between WhatsApp today and its full potential is massive. I look forward to working with Mark, Chris, and the leadership across Meta for the next step in WhatsApp’s journey. Will, thank you for scaling something the world relies on quietly, and for making this transition smooth.

Onwards.

From an opponent to a friend over the years. It’s been a pleasure watching you bat and compete against you over so many years but more than that I value our friendship and shared perspectives on the game and beyond. I continue to cherish every time we speak or meet. Wishing you nothing but the best always brother. You’ve done your bit, you deserve to enjoy all of it now and put your feet up. Well done mate, life’s only just begun. ❤️ #KaneWilliamson

Using the conditions argument against this Indian side is hilarious when they’ve literally won back-to-back world cups, the last in VASTLY different conditions.

They’re just the best white ball side in the world. By a distance.
