Whatever has and can have structure to it, can and will get automated.

For everything else, there’s humans.

Incredible level of mass discipline in dire situation!

[FL360aero @fl360aero]

Aviation industry and flyers can take lessons from this remarkable passenger discipline and exhibition of professionalism of the JAL crew during the evacuation from JL Flight 516 (A350-900/JA13XJ), that collided with a Coast Guard DHC-8 Dash 8 aircraft (JA772A) on 2nd Jan.

Dropping a new piece where I discuss a few key macro trends I've been seeing play out globally over the last few years that will accelerate. If you are a founder or an investor, this is going to affect how you think about where you spend the next decade. I broadly argue that:

1. We are coming to the end of the first golden age of SaaS. For most companies, the game is over.
2. We are coming out of what is the tail end of an OPEX driven "GTM centric" part of the innovation cycle of the internet and are now re-entering the CAPEX heavy "innovation centric" cycle of the AI era of the internet.
3. This new era will favor a specific type of asset class, and a very specific type of founder archetype.
4. This new asset class is currently in its 'extractive' phase and, as such, the investments that will accrue most value are likely ones that are extractive in nature. Mistiming this investment cycle is like investing in oil in the late 90s and then holding over the last 20yrs.
5. We will hit another AI winter next year but not due to technical roadblocks. The innovation seems to have hit escape velocity but needs more stability at the bottom layers for us to hit the 'distribution' phase of AI (which may take a few years).

@shilpiagrawal55 Looks like auto correct changed bot to boot, hence the search results. :)
Also, you could explore Samsung Corporate program, for some steal deals.

@thetrickytrade @jockaayush Oh very painful, and offline. Not possible online.
It took me a couple of visits to different branches of the legacy broker where I had my account (NSDL) to move to Zerodha (CDSL). And no charges.

What's common between Piña Colada and #IPL? Read on our tech blog post: Scaling up for Tata IPL 2023 https://t.co/1fvWVfyY0b to learn how we scaled our infra to 240 million events ingestion per minute for one of our customers

@rajy3k @HDFC_Bank I'm facing same issue since a few days.

Nobody from the team seems to be concerned about such impact for days together!

@HDFCBank_Cares is it fair to expect a resolution anytime soon, or should I start planning migration of my Infinia card, since #smartbuy is inaccessible?

@GabbbarSingh @shubham_21 There's a good technical comparison here:

If it’s not clear yet, this is what I think will happen soon.

Every major tech company except Apple has announced their own LLM.

Apple have spent years perfecting their on-device neural engine. Capable of some absolute insane operations. Loads of compute in a small and energy efficient form factor.

With M1, M2 & soon M3 the neural engine is even more powerful than their A series mobile chipsets.

While we currently need the cloud to run ChatGPT and it’s clunky, I think Apple is going to blow everyone out of the water here. Both on desktop class hardware and mobile.

I think Apple will be launching their own secure and private LLM that runs on device (edge compute). And when necessary it offloads more heavy workloads to a cloud based LLM that’s optimized for heavier tasks. So we will initially have some hybrid.

Personal, with tight hardware and software integration this AI will be omnipresent. Apple will probably use this to sell a lot of new hardware that they claim is needed to run this. They will make a lot of moneys.

For me the LLM’s will form the new protocol level technology upon which most new software will be built. We will have to re-wire our core understanding about what an application is.

Single-use apps will be a huge thing. If you need to solve a unique problem, and nobody has ever done software for that because not enough market. With an LLM even a problem with only one user, will be doable, enter your ask, and code gets written, problem gets solved. Runtime ends, app dies. Done. Single use apps are born.

It’s hard to predict or try to understand how the world will look just 10 years from today. It will be very different, we have passed the inflection point, the rocket engines have been lit. We’ve taken off.

Add to all the above that every single field, category and market will be disrupted at the same time. And not only with text/coding but with any multi-media we have. Images, video & audio. Anything we can come up with can and will be enhanced or disrupted by AI.

Once we got more people that will have their AI A-ha moment the rate of change and adoption will continue to increase. This will continue until we have global access and coverage.

People will get left behind, and this will be one of the most important things to try to combat. Having a 0% left behind policy. We need to make sure AI benefits all.

We’re living through a paradigm shift, and we’re witness a new protocol level technology. We’re seeing it arrive in real-time and most people have no clue about what’s about to happen.

I’m not an AI alarmist, I’m an AI gardener, and optimist.

We will have time to adapt. Not as long as we had during the Industrial Revolution, but enough time to make sure we have a chance at a positive outcome.

We’re moving away from the Information Age into the Age of Intelligence. With unlimited access to intelligence anywhere, anytime.

Figma acquisition shows how hard it is to turn money into software. You'd think for $20B you could build something as good as Figma yourself, but you can't. Software is art.
