@balajeevamanan @MaxJone66549616 @cvkrishnan Not in our days, but now it is. But, namma college a neeye kammi a edai poda koodathu in terms of quality :)

@krissayswat @indhavaainko Here is the link to the exact timestamp of that segment in the full movie:

@realbalajee On that topic, number / quality of open-source / open-weight LLMs from CN is astounding. What is the business model with that? Isn't the west already lagging behind?

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@realbalajee Both need to happen, but DC-centric AI will not be consumer-friendly in the long run (scenario like Anthropic pulling deployed models). Need edge AI to be powerful / good enough for enterprise to run in their own VPC (on-premise if needed).

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@realbalajee Can it ever work profitably at scale? Tokens are becoming pricier as vendors can't keep subsidizing it any more. Enterprise is one segment that can swallow the cost, but engineers are already being asked to optimize usage. 'Plateau of productivity' may be edge AI rather than DC?

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@shyamk "Threaten corporate houses and mint money" ... Isn't this enough for defamation? I wonder if he is claiming that the minted money, if any, went to him personally or to the BJP.

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@saikrish1985 @rangats @annamalai_k Comparing apple and orange. Is that person holding any post in WTL? Anon 'fanboys' and even planted accounts to discredit will be there on both sides, but what we are seeing is people with posts and history in DJP talking ill of Annamalai

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@Varalaxmi92924 @rangats @annamalai_k The other way round - Annamalai was removed after a single loss in 2024 (where vote share actually went up). What about the current crop of leadership which has BJP vacillating between NOTA and 3% (despite contesting with alliance partners)? When will they be 'rewarded'?

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@KarikadaiBoy Unless one is parambarai panakkaran, getting 20C liquid assets before kids grow up is impossible (startup founder and exit mode is one way, but headaches associated with such high pressure entrepreneurship means no time to devote to kids, pretty much)

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@manivannan40017 @annamalai_k Explained in the video that mindless opposition is not what his movement is going to do. Everything will be issue-based.

In the recent past, he even voiced opposition to BJP's policy change of advancing the 3-language formula for Class 9 from 2030 to 2026.

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@tweetlsn @annamalai_k Explained clearly in the video that even people who are going to contest for local body elections from the movement will have to first undergo a training program before being a candidate.

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@KarikadaiBoy Can adopt wait and watch on Annamalai (but still can't make sense of why get started on a process, improve status, and then go back to square 1), but DPradhan should have been sacked yesterday. Anti-incumbency can easily set in, and India can't afford RG at the helm any time

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

India desperately needs a pro-India opposition party to harvest the inevitable anti-incumbency votes in 2029 resulting from the way NEET and CBSE issues are being handled. Can't afford to let RG-led Congress in and risk the undoing of a decade+ worth of good work on other fronts

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@shyamk Bit unsure. TVK seems to be D2.0, with the same idolizing of EVR - the day someone like Seeman or Annamalai (who can bring out the fact that EVR is not who he has been made out to be) comes to power, that is when the separatist hate-filled ideology that is D gets broken

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@labstamil @realitycheckind On the EVR brazenness topic - is there any book on EVR that is equivalent to Arun Shourie's 'Worshipping False Gods' on BRA? If nothing like that exists, now is probably the time to bring one out and flood TN with it.

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@TheNewsTVIndia @Shehzad_Ind Shehzad-ji, why is there no progress on the FIR filed against Udhay Stalin related to his earlier Sanatan remarks? SC has stayed only new FIRs, what prevents BJP-ruled states with existing FIRs from hauling him over the coals?

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@HRajaBJP @ThamaraiTVTamil @ThanthiTV @PTVNewsOfficial @polimernews Sir, please take the existing FIRs filed in states like Maharashtra to logical conclusion. Looks like there are 6 FIRs in different states against his earlier remarks and SC has only said that new ones can't be filed. At the same time, why no FIR against DK ideologues?

[Practical NRI @practicalnri]

@KasthuriShankar Madam, what is the status of the case that was filed (or supposed to be filed?) on the same remarks that the prince had uttered earlier? Why no case on the DK ideologue who spoke after him and directly equated Sanatana Dharma = Hinduism? Why isn't BJP TN making it a court issue?
