In 1951, Adelbert Ames created the mind-boggling ‘Ames Window’. It’s so effective that even when you know how it works you can’t break the illusion

@rahthakor@hey_yogini@Peerlist@GrowthX_Club Tried to register for Pune event, You asked so many questions on so many pages, while registering, I gave up even after registering.
India is a video-first market. The West grew up on text (Google, blogs, docs). India grew up on YouTube, Reels, and short-form.
For the next billion users, “ChatGPT” won’t look like a chat window. It will be VideoGPT.
Ask a question → get a 60-sec explainer in Hindi/Tamil/Bhojpuri.
Learning = visual, contextual, vernacular.
Low literacy friction + cheap data + AI video infrastructure provide the tailwinds.
Who is building AI-native, query-to-video products for India?
@Rasmic I went through the video, your website and github. But if you can offer a sample https://t.co/NIBKcks5tS file so that we know what exactly to put in there which is useful from Ralph/CC, that would be great help. May be in github, something called https://t.co/SHmbNtHyl5
I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind.
