@Olacabs Hi olacabs team. I had no alternative to reach out to your support so had to tag here. I booked an airport taxi today using olacabs. When I reached airport the cab driver showed a different bill than what Ola cabs app was showing. I argued with him that I will pay what
I didn't foresee these crazy layoffs / uncertainty scenarios 8 years back when I was pressurised to buy a flat.
All I thought was that it's a stretch to commit to 20 year loans when I don't know where my next job will be. And most importantly I don't plan to settle in Bangalore.
Hence I preferred to stay on rent. 8 years after, I'm thankful to my past self for not yielding to peer & family pressure.
Though I often think about a few flats I ignored which is looking like an attractive price when I look back now, but I have no regrets.
I rather build a simple home in my native in my 50s than living with serious anxiety in my 40s..
With Ola safe. I would just want to highlight this to everyone that please avoid using Ola particularly in night since there is no way you can complain or get hold of driver if they do anything wrong to you. There is no channel to complain or get details.
Hi @bhash you want to build for India but in your company you dont have a proper channel to address grievances of the customers. One of the driver related to your company looted me and there is no way I can complain or get the issue addressed. How are the females travelling,
My app is showing but he started getting angry and also my flight was getting delayed so I paid him 1367 what was showing in his app and decided to take it to you guys. What kind of people are these employed with your organisation.
@ixigo What a joke this is. The team connected and told me that they are not able to reach the driver and hence refunding me and find alternate way to reach airport. A cab I booked 2 days in advance and you guys declined at the last moment. Honestly I don’t find a reason to use this
What does a customer do in such a case. Miss my flight? Better you just stop selling your services if this is how your services are. Highly disappointing.
RaGa (1970 born) appears around 10 years old and they receive a phone call about Rajiv Gandhi leading in an election. It has to be 1981 Amethi bye-election that Rajiv fought because Sanjay Gandhi died a year earlier.
Menaka Gandhi, Sanjay's widow, can be seen in the video. The following year she walked out of Indira's house, and in the subsequent election in 1984, she fought against Rajiv Gandhi from Amethi but lost due to sympathy vote in wake of Indira's assassination.
The begging of that distance among the family members can also be seen in the video, apart from the privilege.
In 2015, I built an AI that detects early cancer.
It’s still running across hundreds of hospitals in the US today.
It was the most fulfilling work of my life, and I was building in AI years before everyone called it “AI”.
Building in AI then was a dream.
Now It feels like we’ve taken a turn for the worse.
It started when i was in undergrad.
I built my first company: AI models that made the political data transparent to voters.
At 21, I was offered six figures for it, but the buyers wanted to use it for reasons I couldn't ethically support.
So we turned down the offer and shut down the company instead.
In 2014, I moved into deep learning research on language models, for the Intelligence Community and Goldman Sachs.
Then HCA Healthcare came to us.
They put me in a competition against 10 people from IBM Watson. It was just me and the tools I’d built.
Our job was to build an AI model that can catch the cancer that slips through the cracks in hospitals.
It was the most intense 30 days of my life. Multiple all nighters.
My models won. That turned into a $5M deal, and later its own company, Azra AI.
Then the world caught on.
ChatGPT and Claude arrived, and AI costs exploded.
Building in AI in 2015 felt novel.
We were using it to find cancer tumours and save lives.
Now the biggest tech companies have turned AI into a money extraction machine.
That’s when I decided to make a change.
We raised $8.5M to build a better future for AI.
On Wednesday, we’re launching Rayline.
AI shouldn’t be locked inside a few labs’ models, prices and clouds. It should be open, transparent and decentralized.
More on Wednesday.
A home video from 1980. Very incisive.
Imagine while having a mango with a fork & a knife, a kid is discussing the margins of their election victory with such assurance. I can empathise with Rahul, he has grown up with a people’s mandate being a piece of cutlery on their dinner table. It’s there to be picked anytime. They were entitled to it. A victory didn’t evoke euphoria, it was status quo. So when they lose now, they don’t know how to react. It’s not performative nonchalance to boost the morale of their workers, it’s their real self.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang sends apology letter to employees admitting that he had an affair with a Chinese spy.
Jensen has just proved that AI can replace everything but can't replace men falling for women outside marriage and losing their empire and aura.
