@whowrites Nice write-ups Praveen. Love your blog.

[Ravi Mandala @rmandala]

@jaasti @IndiaToday I don't like India Today articles. Too clickbait with literally no read-worthy content in most articles.

@elonmusk @grok Can you please give a "for example..."?

Congratulations @LevoIncHQ on this incredible achievement.

[Buchi Reddy B @buchireddy]

@LevoIncHQ just won the @DSCI_Connect (Data Security Council of India's) Innovation Box at #FINSEC2025, India’s most respected cybersecurity stage for the financial sector.

An incredible milestone in itself.

But what made it truly special was where it happened.

We began operations by serving this very sector.

Some of our earliest customers were financial institutions that saw the API explosion coming and wanted to stay ahead of it.

To be now recognized by the Data Security Council of India, a driving force that not only shapes India’s cybersecurity policies but also influences adoption across regulators and enterprises, makes this moment especially meaningful.

We didn’t build Levo to chase headlines or validation.

We built it because the enterprises were struggling to secure APIs, and none of the tools they had were built for that job.

That’s what we set out to fix.

And this win is a reflection of how far that belief has come.

While I was on stage presenting, I could feel the energy in the room.

The kind of excitement and alignment that founders like me live for.

It’s moments like these that power us through months of quiet, heads-down work, because we see the impact it creates.

A big thank you to the entire team at the Data Security Council of India and the National CoE for this recognition, and to every teammate, engineer, and early customer who helped us achieve this milestone.

There’s a lot more coming! 🚀

@jaasti Which one?

[Ravi Mandala @rmandala]

Terrible idea. The general user would be uncomfortable and anxious with every use.

[Sam Altman @sama]

an idea for paid plans: your $20 plus subscription converts to credits you can use across features like deep research, o1, gpt-4.5, sora, etc.

no fixed limits per feature and you choose what you want; if you run out of credits you can buy more.

what do you think? good/bad?

@danielcranney @jaasti Jobs won't be replaced. Each job consists of multiple categories of tasks - which can be augmented or completely automated by AI. As more and more tasks are augmented/automated, employees' productivity will increase multi-fold. That could mean either faster growth or job loss.
