Wonderful to hear him articulate so fluently his satisfaction and appreciation for Keralites’ enjoyment of Punjabi food! Born and brought up in Kerala, so his fluency is no surprise— but great to hear amid the incongruity of his appearance! A striking affirmation of our fabled #UnityInDiversity!

Everyone is discussing AI in the same way..

Jobs will go. New jobs will come. People who use AI will lead. Those who don’t will fall behind.

Maybe all of that is true. But I think the bigger story is somewhere else. I have been thinking this for sometime.. Let us think one layer deeper..

First order impact is obvious: Productivity improves.

Second order impact is more interesting: when effort drops, expectations rise.

Earlier, if something took a week, people accepted it. With AI, the same work may take a day. Very soon, nobody will value speed because speed becomes default. The value shifts elsewhere… to judgement, originality, trust and decision quality.

Third order impact: abundance creates noise.

When everyone can generate content, code, designs or analysis quickly, the world doesn’t become smarter automatically. It becomes louder. The real scarcity may not be intelligence anymore, but credibility. People and brands that are trusted may become far more valuable than people who are simply efficient.

Another angle most people miss: AI may reduce entry barriers, but increase survival pressure.

Starting something will become easier. Finishing it, sustaining it and standing out may become harder. If every small company can operate like a large company, competition intensifies everywhere.

There is also a human behaviour shift coming.

When thinking becomes outsourced, will curiosity reduce? Or will humans actually think more because basic execution is automated? We might see two very different groups emerge. One that becomes passive users of AI, and another that uses AI to think deeper than ever before.

Economically, AI could create strange outcomes..

Lower cost of work may increase supply so much that prices fall. Good for consumers. Tough for average producers. Margins may move from execution businesses towards distribution, trust networks and ownership of data.

Even in fraud, regulation and compliance, the game changes.

AI will help people hide complexity better. But it will also help others detect patterns faster. It becomes an arms race of intelligence rather than manpower.

And maybe the biggest shift of all…

For decades, knowledge itself was power. In an AI world, knowledge becomes cheap. The premium moves to wisdom, taste, ethics and the ability to ask the right questions.

It could be a filter that separates humans who think from humans who simply execute.

The real disruption may not be job loss.
It may be a complete redefinition of what society values as “human contribution..

I asked Claude to track what happens to public markets every time Anthropic drops a new model or capability update. It started calling it the Hit List.

Feb 4. Anthropic releases Cowork. TEAM drops 35%. Intuit drops 34%. $285 billion wiped from SaaS in a single week.

Feb 5. Agent Teams goes live. Software sells off broadly. The IGV, which is the software ETF most funds track, falls 30%. Worst quarter since 2008.

Feb 20. Code Security update. CrowdStrike, Cloudflare, and Okta each drop 8 to 9% in a day. AI just demonstrated it could scan an entire codebase, find vulnerabilities, and suggest patches. Hundreds of bugs missed for decades, caught overnight.

Feb 24. COBOL modernization tool drops. IBM has its worst single day since the year 2000. Down 13% in a day. Down 27% in February alone.

Claude sees what is coming next. Legal research. Financial analysis. Accounting and tax prep. IT consulting. Contact centers. Healthcare admin.

Not financial advice. Just pattern recognition.

A mother’s tears are not weakness. They are a storm of memories no one else can feel. 💔

When Sahil Dhaneshwar’s mother said, “We are in India. We need to stand outside,” it wasn’t just a sentence — it was a cry for unity. 🇮🇳
Stand with her. Stand for justice.

Massive Respect ✊ for Dr Shantanu sir

TMC removes Dr Shantanu Sen as spokesperson because he has spoken out against anti-social activity at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.

He had said, “There is a racket that runs in the college and if you don’t oil them then you get targeted and if you oil them, you can do whatever you want. I don’t want to name any particular professors but if you are in their good books then you can even cheat in the examination but if you are targeted no matter how good you are your Hons Will get cancelled.

A day before Saraswati puja my daughter was going to college for pre-puja celebrations. But just because my daughter didn’t get into the racket that’s why she was not allowed to participate. No one talks to her or studies with her.”_

His wife Kakali had also joined the doctors of the healthcare institution in protests. Shantanu Sen’s daughter also studies at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital

Manipur and Haryana give the highest number of Olympic medals to India.

But guess which state gets the most amount of funds in the name of Sports development? Gujarat

A state that has nothing to do with Sports or Indian armed forces. But gets most of the budget allotments.

When our ‘new’ parliament building is water-logged, what chance do we the citizens have? Frankly, the haste with which the new building was constructed, singularly unaesthetic and with no character , while the wonderfully distinctive and charming old parliament building and iconic central hall lies mostly unused, is saddening. Tax payer monies going literally down the drain.
