Decided to try out Perplexity Labs to evaluate a stock pick - and seems like I stumbled upon some massive undervaluation!

Expected better when there's so much talk about trying to take on the Bloomberg Terminal floating around

@vig_xyz Is zoom down ?

@_eseidel @GooglePlay I just did this and passed verification. “Your name” is actually your name, not the organizations. I believe “the document” refers to the document upload below of your ID, and not the Organization verification doc.
UX is hard.

@artman This feels like something that should resonate at Linear https://t.co/23paBfkRRy

Now very apologetic for being condescending to non-technical friends’ theories of their phones listening to them.

This is shocking.

Facebook gave Netflix all your private messages on Messenger in exchange for all your watch history, while Netflix paid them $100M+ for ads.

Meta will sell your data at a heartbeat for profit.

Since @arta_finance opened up  to accredited investors in the US a couple of days back,  I've gotten a few pings from friends and ex-colleagues. Their questions were along the lines of - What happened? After so many years of working to empower the next billion users and democratizing access (from Chromebooks to NBU to Google Pay), how come you guys are building something exclusive and premium for people who are much better off? 

This made me realize that we haven't really spoken externally about our long-term plan. This is something we talk about quite openly within the company and this was also what we shared with our angels and investors when we started Arta. We’re only at the start of step 1 but we’re clear about where we are heading - and that is to democratize access to finance so everyone can build the financial future they want for themselves and their families, independent of how much money they have or where they are.

So here's the plan.

Step 1: Help professionals i.e. people like us in the US & Singapore (🤞soon) - get access to the Financial superpowers of the ultra rich by bringing together the best of finance +  tech/AI

Step 2: Partner with great companies around the world to enable them to bring state of the art wealth management services to professionals in their countries (essentially a Private Bank as a service)

Step 3: Win the trust and confidence of regulators around the world to safely and responsibly expand access to these products and services to everyone, everywhere.

There’s no reason why someone with $1000 or Rs 1000 should not be able to get access to the best of finance and tech to grow, protect and enjoy their hard earned money. Google search works the same for them, Amazon works the same for them, why should the financial system be different? It is going to take us a while to get there, perhaps a decade or maybe more, but that is our ultimate goal.

@GergelyOrosz Meanwhile in Singapore, the bank CEO apologised and the regulator imposed a 1.6 billion dollar capital requirement for a 45 minute disruption

Such a privilege to be on this very cool team!

chatGPT seems to prove that "prompt engineering" doesn't need to be a thing for standard usage of LLMs

@Saurya You need to add a bit of overwork and sleep deprivation into the mix

[Jishnu Mohan @JishnuM]

@Naman_Bhalla Verdict after 1 day: significantly more productive. Remains to be seen if this is sustained 😀

Best work environment ever

[Caesar Sengupta @caesars]

At @arboworks we aim to ensure all #arbonauts have their ideal work environment. @JishnuM said that he felt that total darkness would help him get into the zone faster, so @edchiang and I built him a darkroom. ✅

And yes we are hiring :) https://t.co/vJfosTRyvQ

@rishdotblog @zerodha Came across this writeup by the same author https://t.co/3Zb1AYoOP0 which adds some nuance to their position
