Apply critical thinking and continue to learn the fundamentals so we don’t turn into token munching maniacs.

Maybe it’s just me feeling romantic about Test cricket but so wonderful to see @nassercricket & @StuartBroad8 spend nearly 3-4 deliveries of an over without saying anything & letting the sounds of Test cricket do the talking on @SkyCricket

Ok, so here is my take on the Fable ban, sovereign AI, Sarvam, etc.

The event is interesting as it has implications from many perspectives.

For AI users, it is clear that you should not confuse access with ownership, or adoption itself as advantage. And if the most significant tech differentiator you are leveraging has external control loops, then you have to accept you are vulnerable.

For AI talent, it is now a precedent that you would be *seen* aligning to national interests more than company interests. And even if its just a whim for now, this trend will be hard to reverse as the world gets more automated…

For AI labs, their offerings will be stratified - general purpose AI would be available as utility, but frontier AI would be gated. This is a fantastic business model for labs - *democratized* AI sucks in all the data liquidity of the world which is locked in higher margin frontier offerings.

I think for the world to be a better place, all three of the above are bad vectors. We need to have more countries and companies owning their own destinies. And in the post AI world, that means being able to use and improve AI systems within their own perimeters - what one may call Sovereign AI.

At Sarvam, Sovereign AI in India was the founding thesis a couple of years back, and continues to remain the core operating principle. From our vantage point, it is super clear that India will build, leverage, and create massive business value and societal impact with sovereign AI. The following is precisely how we at Sarvam are contributing to make that happen.

Builders should focus on building, and not in playing showoff games like 100 days of code, 800 leetcode and what not.

No faltu drama! Just skills and builds.

Great read. We’ve shifted to agentic building.

But a surprising number of companies are still debating whether engineers should even use AI.

Meanwhile, more than 50% of developers haven’t shipped a single line of AI-assisted code.

Displaced? Retrained? Left behind?

Irrelevant question.

Industries don’t care about fairness... they care about output. (read Shareholder Value)

The only thing that matters:
Are you building faster, better, and more intelligently than before?
If not, you’re already behind.

Get into rooms where people are building tools... not debating them.

If you have the Monday blues, listen to this for 4 minutes and am sure you’ll smile and feel better! Enjoy the genius of RD and Asha! Pure magic!😃⭐️👍

Looking to connect with folks who actively work in 'legacy-ish' / niche stacks like COBOL, modern Fortran, Ada, Verilog, Erlang/Elixir, Perl.

If you’ve shipped real systems in any of these (or know someone who has), my DMs are open – want to route you to some interesting opportunities.

If you haven't, please 🔁 for good karma.

[Arnav Gupta @championswimmer]

Conspiracy theory: They leaked it so that real humans can finally review the code. Since they do not read or review the code themselves at all. Now they ask us to do it for them for free.

This video is full of knowledge, and this is running 10/10 on YouTube.

Some weeks back I created a video building LLM tokenizer from scratch in typescript. Same performance - 10/10

Tells you all about that most people don’t want to learn.

It’s easy to win (as a learner).

At the medal ceremony last night, the great Harsha Bhogle had a line each on every player - Indian and Kiwi - every line editorially nuanced and optimum! He could’ve easily just called out their names without adding anything but great broadcasters do the little things well! Coz they care enough…. So much to learn from the great man!

I didn't just enjoy doing this conversation with @MichaelVaughan, I felt honoured to be invited on @StickToCricket.

I hope you like it. It was a lot of fun.

[Pankaj @the2ndfloorguy]

something i've been wanting to say for a while. if you built something fun, weird, or interesting - tag me. dm me. share it with me.

when i started out, i would ship things and nobody would notice. it's a lonely feeling. and honestly it stops a lot of good builders from continuing.

i got lucky. slowly things started getting noticed. somehow ended up with a decent following. now, if i can give someone's work a little push, why not. that's the least i can do.

share it with me. i'll reshare, shout it out, try to get more eyes on it.

just trying to be the person i wish i had back then. you deserve to be seen 🍻

[Mark Valorian @markvalorian]

I have been a loyal @OpenAI guy from day 1. I’ve had an account since they first released and used it daily since I think GPT 3.5.

Based on @sama’s move tonight to accept the DoD terms that Anthropic would not, I am removing all traces of Codex and OpenAI software from all devices.

I absolutely hate to do this and it’s going to really compromise my ability to be productive in the short term, but every possible alarm bell is going off at full blast in my head right now. This has the potential to be the most egregious incursion on privacy the world may have ever seen.

I think Sam just saw too many dollar signs and didn’t realize how obvious this move would make the optics but it’s clear to me now OpenAI is compromised. Not sure what the next step will be from here, but the trust is totally gone. Very disappointing.

Mike Atherton and Harsha Bhogle are among those who have criticised what India vs Pakistan has become.

“Choreographed, hyper-jingoistic theatre designed to showcase noxious superiority and stoke nationalist sentiment," wrote Atherton, quoting Sushant Singh's piece for Cricket Et Al.

"It's become an arrow to be fired for political gamesmanship. I don't think we enjoy the game anymore, I think we exploit it" said Bhogle.

सार्वजनिक जीवन की हर मर्यादा तार-तार है। हाथ न मिलाकर कौन सा तीर मार रहे हैं। ट्रंप के दावों का जवाब तो दिया नहीं जाता कि युद्ध उन्होंने रुकवा दिया लेकिन हाथ नहीं मिला कर ड्रामा हो रहा है। हर्षा का दर्द सही है। क्रिकेट का हाल भी फ़ाइल्स फ़िल्मों की तरह हो गया है।

[Ajay Kamath @ajay43]

Kind of sums up what many cricket fans are feeling

I am not excited about this #INDvPAK match for the first time, it has been hijacked by money and politics - Harsha Bhogle

Finally, someone had the courage to speak up. 🔥

[Roshan Rai @RoshanKrRaii]

10 minutes of the best political satire you will ever see.

This is brutal, hard hitting and fits so brilliantly on the current regime.

This guy Purav Jha has become a sensation within hours.
