I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again:

Using LLMs-written content professionally will spoil your career, especially if you’re in early stages. Everyone worth their salt that I know is hugely aversive to reading slop and despite your smart attempts, they can sense signatures of AI writing (even if they can’t articulate what gave it away).

When you delegate writing, you delegate thinking and that delegation takes away from you the very thing you need for your future career advancement: careful thinking.

I often hear.. “but my writing is bad”. Well, if you keep on delegating, how will it get better? It’s like complaining that you don’t go to gym because you’re unfit.

Write the first damn draft yourself and then take feedback from AI. Do not ask it to rewrite, but rather ask it point errors and suggestions for improvement.

Writing using LLMs is analogous to binge watching short videos, or eating junk food. Pleasurable dopamine hits in the short term, but complete dependence in the long term.

Will the Education Minister's resignation fix NEET? No

Do the protesters or CJP have good solutions? Barely (the problem is deeper, in centralisation & under-supply)

Yet, the protests and resignation demand are important. We normalised this environment of fear for far too long!

I am sorry sir. It is just another promise with no commitments nor time lines. Earlier, you enacted a new law. Now a fast track court. Your own NTA said there were no paper leaks at all. This is what you said on paper leaks just in the last 3 years.

“The paper-leak mafia will be held accountable and punished. Those who have played with the future of young people will not be spared.”

November 9, 2023
“Issues such as paper leaks, which worried the country’s youth, have been dealt with very strictly…..”

April 21, 2024
“The government has now begun taking action against the paper-leak mafia.”

“The government is extremely serious about stopping paper leaks and action is being taken on a war footing…..those who endanger students’ futures will not be spared.”

Wavelength app is finally live.

In December, we built an app-less experience. Chat based, completely scrappy. Whatsapp blocked 80% of our messages, emails went to spam. We were literally texting people manually to tell them they had a match.

And it still worked. We matched about 250 couples and people went on real dates.

Then we rebuilt everything voice first. You talk to Wave, she listens, questions, and matches you based on what she actually hears. Efficacy and satisfaction went up by 6x.

Now our app can actually ping you when your match is ready and ask how your date went.

Love is coming to Bangalore.

Bought 30kg Petha from Agra, just to remove it from the supply chain. That disgusting"sweet" deserves to be in dumpyards, not consumed by people

Beyond the irreverence, The Ba***ds of Bollywood can also be read as an ode to the angst that shaped Shah Rukh Khan’s journey and the nobility that continues to define him.

For @thecaravanindia’s August issue, I reported on disability and data.

The story looks at how gaps in data, across the Census, UDID/disability certification, and NFHS, continue to impact the lives, rights, and visibility of persons with disabilities in India.

Read here.

Merit sustains as an idea because it's never judged like Reservations are.

A blunder or corrupt practice or inefficiency or crime by a person from majority religion/caste/race/gender is seen in isolation but a similar act by someone in minority (even a cricket match loss) is touted as a failure of affirmative action if not a failure of that person's entire religion/caste/race/gender.

The existing idea and definition of merit is a majoritarian tool of oppression - used in what stories get sensationalised (crimes done by women or minorities), and what failures get covered-up (bridge collapse to stampedes).

Live-tweeting @karthik_econ's presentation on state capacity at NEUDC.

Simple story of India's economy:
- Top 10% drives demand and growth
- Next 30-40% in service sector jobs supporting the top 10%
- remaining 50% left out, supported by welfare programs

Seems suboptimal 1/n

Thrilled and privileged to make my debut for @IndianExpress by writing about a film I dearly dearly love and consider one of the best we’ve ever made — Khosla Ka Ghosla, which completed 18 years this weekend.
