Hey @Airbnb @AirbnbHelp I have a simple question. I’m a host and I have a decor item that costed me 1000/- that the guest broke. Now to buy the same it only cost 500/- should I claim 1000 or 500.

Day 1 of the AI Impact Summit turned to be a pain for us.

I came genuinely excited, it was the first time the summit was being hosted in India, and I wanted to show up personally to support the ecosystem and the government’s push.

But what happened next was shocking.

At 12 noon, security personnel arrived to sanitise and cordon off the area ahead of the visit by PM Modi visit at 2pm.

I explained that we’re building India’s first patented AI wearable at NeoSapien and requested a chance to showcase it.

One officer told others to let me stay, and they left.

Then another group came and ordered us to leave immediately. Seemed like there was lack of co-ordination between the security itself.

I asked: “Should we take our wearables?”

They said, others are leaving even laptops behind, security will take care.

Trusting them, I left. Hoping that the wearables will be safe, and If I am lucky, it might catch the eye of PM Modi.

Gates were closed from 12–6pm. Much much longer than expected.

Later we found out that our wearables were stolen.

Think about this: We paid for flights, accommodation, logistics and even the booth. Only to see our wearables disappear inside a high-security zone.

If only security and official entourage had access, how did this happen?

This is extremely disappointing.

Well, here is a checklist

A plane crashes in India, and Americans are like, “How did a brick building in India survive when our steel towers didn’t?” It’s been 24 years. Worse tragedies have happened since. @realDonaldTrump became your president twice. Maybe take a break from the main character syndrome.

With the general population trying to be more politically correct and mindful of what to say and behave, The outliers like @Ashneer_Grover and @ReheSamay are becoming a household name because now people are living vicariously through them.

@elonmusk Put a graphic of top CEO from different industries and their political views. M betting that would be skewed as well in on side.

Indian startup Dotpe, that raised ~$100M to build point of sale systems for restaurants left their entire API fully public.

A clever hacker found out the most ordered thing at every Social in India.

And did a prank to order what he wanted for a person next to him!

Zero auth.

I have lived in times when I used to call a restaurant to place an order and tell them my address and have the food delivered to the door without an issue to now getting a call from Swiggy delivery men calling me stating they reached the location but can’t find the house.

So basically now everyone would use rewrite to write long beautiful emails and also use summarize on iPhone to get the point and respond to email. #apple #appleintelligence

Out shopping and I overheard this dad and his son (probably 4 years old) having a conversation:

Son - why do we have money, everything should be free. Everyone can take what they need, we would not even need parents then.

Dad - 😶
