What other business ideas in Kerala other than bakeries or medical labs?

@refsrc True, QC was pretty stupid idea until you experience it. Then we question how it can scale, and they did scale.

One more I forgot until just reminded:

3. Khosla Ventures wanted to invest in our Series C. Vinod took me, Michelle, and Lee out to dinner after he’d given us a term sheet. Near the end, Michelle and Lee got up to use the restroom. Vinod leaned over and said: “I’m impressed with you, not so much with them, what if you fire them and I’ll give you all their stock?” I think the charitable read was it was a test of my character. But I was so offended that we never spoke again. Literally blocked his number.

Ultimately, progress or a sense of progress was missing. Narratives are based on this sense.

[Samuel @samuelap1_]

For me, Arne Slot was ultimately unlucky. As the saying goes, history is written by the victors. There have been piles and piles of critique which have made their way to the forefront of discourse. The comparisons to Ten Hag, his training regime, OOP intent, attacking style and player management.

Not for one second am I going to tell
you that there is not truth to be found in some of these claims, OOP intent is a well discussed theme, player management is also something that Slot struggled with (Salah, Jones, etc). But yet, these claims began to be uttered as absolute truths and as far as Slot is concerned, nothing positive or contrary is to be discussed.

Here’s the email to employees:

Team,

Hope everyone’s doing well and enjoying the productivity enhancements from our AI tooling initiative.

Unfortunately, Finance has asked me to clarify a small issue.

It appears someone, and by “someone” I mean apparently all of you simultaneously, managed to spend $500,000,000 on @claudeai usage in a single month.

For context:
•NASA landed on the moon for less.
•We are now the proud owner of approximately 14% of Anthropic.
•Claude personally sent us a thank-you fruit basket.
•Our CFO has entered a fugue state and only communicates through Slack emojis.
•The electricity usage from your prompts briefly dimmed parts of Northern Virginia.
While we appreciate innovation, there are concerns that:
•“Can you make this email sound slightly warmer?” did not require 11,400 generations.
•Asking Claude to “rewrite this in the style of Succession, Hemingway, and Tony Soprano combined” may have been excessive.
•One employee appears to have used Claude to generate “a quick list of lunch options” that somehow consumed the GDP of a small island nation.

Going forward, please observe the following guidelines:
1Do not upload the entire internet into Claude “for context.”
2If your prompt begins with “simulate every possible outcome,” reconsider.
3Claude should not be used to:
◦settle fantasy football disputes,
◦write your wedding vows 97 times,
◦generate revenge edits of your ex’s LinkedIn bio,
◦or ask “what if Rome had WiFi?”

Most importantly:

If you see the message:

“This request may require additional datacenter construction”

…please stop immediately and contact IT.

Thank you all for your cooperation during this challenging yet technologically groundbreaking time.

Warm regards,
Management

P.S. Whoever prompted:
“Generate every possible PR angle for every company founded since 1983”
…we just want to talk.

AI sales pitches are basically how it can help orgs avoid solving their people / culture probelms, and not their technical problems.

This is how newspapers beat AI, digital media and everything else thrown at it. By sheer talent and art. By using institutional memory. You can spot AK Antony, K Karunakaran and Oommen Chandy in this. Any guess on who's the fourth person hiding? Hint: he's also a former CM.
