An estimate of how many #AI chips China has, between legal imports, smuggling, remote access, and domestic chips - perhaps 15% of the global base? https://t.co/agB6PQW84r

Early evidence suggests #AI is making workers more productive, not redundant. But history shows technology’s biggest labour impacts emerge only after firms redesign the system around it https://t.co/tHNAgBWpmk

Bengaluru: BSWML has launched 'DClutter' mobile app for doorstep collection of bulky waste such as old furniture, mattresses, cupboards, sanitary fittings & discarded clothes in Bengaluru. Such waste was often dumped on roadsides as it was not covered under regular collection. During a pilot drive, BSWML collected nearly 6,000 tonnes of bulky waste. Citizens can use the Android & iOS app to register, select items & schedule pickups for scientific recycling & disposal @BSWML_GBA

@anandmahindra Sir, why aren’t we building more World City led plug & play industrial Park formats across India, maybe this time with more workers dorms & housing, instead of a permanent residential play.

@janrosenow Industry is the chart’s real story. It’s started nearly level with buildings in 1990, and went nowhere. And to add has no clean solution that scales without making it uncompetitive.

@pravesh Good effort.. Most bureaucrats will opt for No.6, its less messy.

@JigarShahDC Curious who these ‘large new users’ are — most data centers are being directed toward captive power. If they bypass the grid entirely, ordinary customers absorb the $1.4T in capex with no offset.

@akm1410 I can speak for BLR & MUM, Most of them have a particular Japanese SUV or MPV registered under them. A flashy ones are just borrowed from their crony circle of businessmen.

Anybody who can afford to go to Bookworm in Bangalore and buy a book to help them out- please do so. It’s a wonderful store that was ravaged by the hailstorm recently. Good luck, @bookworm_Kris

@Nithin0dha Automated debit, seems to be the consensus in the comments, would be interesting to overlay how many Indians are actually investing abroad ..that number would tell you how much of this is conviction and how much is just a walled garden
