@findingnische China first chooses by market forces first and then blesses for the growth
We did not have a market discovery in the first place and we want to leapfrog to choosing
the dangerous precedent we set here in anointing a national champion early on in this race is it completely kills competition and competition pushes the frontier
If ant was born out of OAI then India needs at least 10 Sarvams..
Who is willing to be the Dario there?
if it is indeed defcon5 - Sarvam should be completely taken over by GoI since it’s a national security issue
AI engineers there will then be paid according to the 8th pay commission

@pHequals7 this is now a little past commercial competition scope and is now entering a national imperative situation (just like what the US is doing with Anth) . the competition point is valid but something to solve down the road ... right now this feels like a defcon5 energency sitch.
anyone over the age of 40 or has made money by labour arbitrage should automatically be disqualified from influencing AI policy in India
if you have not spent >5% of your revenue for R&D in any organisation that you’ve headed once again you are disqualified
PM @narendramodi Sir we need an India AI Mission under you with @NandanNilekani as vice chair and others from the private sector and govt. to Help India tackle the AI Revolution. We are way behind and need a national mission to get going quickly. Existing govt programs are too slow, way too small to make any large impact. We need an annual 50000 cr fund for deep tech and AI, a 200,000 cr ELGS Guarantee Fund to build Hyper cloud, hardware and chips. @AshwiniVaishnaw@nsitharaman@PiyushGoyal@FinMinIndia@RBI We need a Very Large National Mission. @AmitShah@amitmalviya
unfort. all this talk of sovereignity will lead GoI in the wrong direction.
far more important problem is how one establishes conditions for innovation. how one gets one's own Musk over time.
after all we had sovereign tech even in 70s - 'Ambassador' cars for example.
somewhere deep in my blog drafts there is one unfinished essay on how california is probably the most impactful place on earth in recent history (so-cal for soft power hollywood and nor-cal for hard power tech)
and how south india could replicate this combo..
