AI + Tech+ HealthCare and Wellness. Building stuff for India

My son asked why a detergent brand was advertising to him. Then he explained surrogate advertising back to me. He had learned it from Google's AI Mode, not from me.

So I went looking for the parental controls. There are two. On and off. Neither one was the thing I actually needed.

A short note on what has changed in my house, and why it was never about access.

I promised my eight year old he could try Claude Fable 5 this morning. Overnight the US government blocked it. Wrote about what that actually means: access as a quiet weapon, where India stands, and why the gate never holds.

Why do most organisations fail?
Bad intent? Bad people?

In most cases, they fail because things quietly become more complex than anyone can hold in their head.

In the early days, people know why something exists, not just what it does. That shared context does a lot of invisible work. Decisions are taken by a small group and usually travel as conversations.

As things scale, that context thins out. So we add process. Reviews. Tools. Tracking.

It feels like control. It isn’t.
There’s a point where effort stops helping. From then on, judgment has to be carried by design, not by memory.

Most problems show up much later. They’re created long before anyone notices.

Most addictions are escapes from reality ….

alcohol , drugs , sex , porn , over socialising , etc is what we get addicted to ..

addiction is basically an escape from a reality we don’t wanna face … understanding root causes is always the start to healing …

[Luke Coutinho @LukeCoutinho17]

So many people have reached out since the crash- pilots, cabin crew, families, passengers, and even those who weren’t directly involved.
Fear. Anxiety. Sleeplessness. Sadness. Guilt.

When a tragedy like this strikes, it doesn’t just affect the people on board- it ripples through all of us.
We’re all human. We all feel.

So we’re holding a free masterclass tomorrow.
A safe, guided space to talk about what we’re feeling, understand it, and begin the process of healing.

Where we’ll discuss:
– Why has this tragedy shaken us so deeply?
– What can we do with all that we’re feeling?
– And more.

If this speaks to you, or someone you know, join in.

Interviewed a project manager yesterday. Great on acronyms. Smooth on process talk. But the moment we got into real life problems, the depth vanished. How many are still the paper pushers? Will AI kill this job?

There are no words that can truly capture the weight of what our brave soldiers endure in the line of duty.

Every member of #TeamLuke bows in honour and gratitude to the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives, to the officers and comrades who stood by them with support and strength, and to their grieving families whose silent sacrifices are no less heroic.

These heroes were not just soldiers, they were our sons, our fathers, our brothers, and our friends. They carried with them dreams, hopes, and an unwavering commitment to the safety of every single one of us.

They gave their lives for the peace we often take for granted, standing guard in the face of danger, knowing that each moment could be their last. And yet, they did it without hesitation, with unmatched courage, strength, and selflessness. Their sacrifices are beyond measure, and their bravery is a light that will forever guide us.

As we remember them today, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and sorrow. Gratitude for their immense sacrifice, and sorrow for the lives they could have lived but didn’t.

Rest in peace, heroes. Your legacy is not just in the stories we tell, but in the freedom we live. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. You are forever etched in our hearts and minds, and we will continue to carry your spirit with us in every step we take, every victory we achieve, and every peaceful moment we get to experience.

We owe it all to you. 🙏🇮🇳💔

Jai Hind, Jai Bharat. 🇮🇳

One Choice, One Moment, YOUR Power!

A high-calorie, sugary meal? It might take an hour on the treadmill to burn it off.

But in just 5 seconds of mindful intention, and a mindful decision, you can choose vibrant, nourishing food that fuels your body and soul. 💪✨

Every bite is a vote and action towards the life you want.
You are not a victim—you are the creator of your health.

Choose wisely, choose YOU!

After playing around with #FirebaseStudio. I feel it is a very dumb.
1. Poor UI generation, We have good tools like @boltdotnew and Loveable which generates eye pleasing UI. Firebase does poor job at it. I had to iterate multiple time to get to a place
2. It does not understand or breaks down tasks well
3. What works well is gemini integration. Adding key and building an AI driven project was very easy
4. Overall UI of both prototype mode and code mode is good.

Chatgpt now can refer to all the chats you have done and goes beyond the stored memory. This probably will make the experience much better..

[Nikhil Deshpande @nikhdesh]

ChatGPT is better than Gemini 2.5, Grok, Cluade Sonet 3.7 etc!!
No this is not a fancy title to catch attention but my own view on results I get.

Over the past few months I have used all the AI Chat tools in the market for variety of tasks such as 1. Searching 2. Brainstorming 3. Coding 4. Communications etc. Invariably I get best output on chatGPT. I have been thinking about why this has been happening and only reason I can think of is context memory.

ChatGPT has nailed the memory section very well, At the moment it knows me too well, It understand context of my query like a pro. I dont use projects or folders but It is able to differentiate between my work, hobby projects and personal queries.

I have added to memory certain restrictions to put if it feels questions are asked by my 7 YO Son and it does fantastic job at it!!

Bottomline is average consumer does not care about certain benchmark you crack. They prefer use of access and context over others. ChatGPT's moat is memory and building it early. In turn, there moat is understanding consumer this again we have seen with entire frenzy around Ghibli Studio Style.

We still are a long way from getting good marathi language support.

Gudhi Padwa wishes generated by gpt4o. What if we have an image model of this type inside whatsapp? It can read chat history and generate personalized wishes.

I think this could be a monetizable feature @AIatMeta make it happen
