Your cognition is limited by the bio-economy. So unless you really really get exposed to uncomfortable situations, your brain just refuses to learn. Explore more, or at least simulate survival pressure on yourself sometimes to boost learning.

The Stoics were right.

@hackersway I feel it might happen within a year.

You know a startup has irrevocably become a corporation when a majority of its employees stop viewing their main job as winning in the market and start viewing it as meeting the expectations of their manager — and a majority of these managers are doing the exact same thing.

@MohapatraHemant If you have right level of abstraction, nature compute really doesn’t matter. Intelligence can emerge from simplest of system. The term ‘purpose’ is heavily overloaded and kind of vague for a true AGI.

Congratulations @prashantsachan. Very inspiring to see your commitment towards building for Bharat. Keep rocking as always \m/

[Prashant Sachan @prashantsachan]

Super excited to share that @AppsForBharat has raised an $18M Series B round. This one is special, I will tell you why!

In 2011, during my undergraduate studies, I received my first job offer from Infosys. Fast forward to 2013-14, during the second year of the Master's program at IIT Bombay, I lived in Hostel 14—also known as The Silicon Ship. That hostel was donated by Nandan Nilekani.

Today, I am excited to announce that our startup, @AppsForBharat, has raised our Series B round, led by Fundamentum. We are thrilled to also welcome @SusquehannaVC as new investors. I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support of our existing investors, @ElevCap, @peakxvpartners, and @miraeasset VC.

The Indian startup ecosystem truly embodies 'The Indian Dream'. Coming from a rural background, I am getting the privilege of building a category-creating startup that is being built by an extraordinary team and is backed by incredible believers.

The journey ahead will be long, but we're committed. We’ll continue to scale @SriMandir_App worldwide, onboard new temples, introduce new services, and build a comprehensive tech stack for the devotional ecosystem. Our mission is to create a trusted go-to platform for millions of devotees, giving them the access they've always wanted. I am nothing, but grateful for this opportunity to create a large-scale impact!

While discussing our vision and our work with Nandan, someone every founder looking to create large-scale impact admires, I shared with him our Infosys and Bombay connection. He laughed and said, "Let’s deepen our partnership and create access for everyone!"

Thanks to @ashishkumar, @SaiAraveti for backing us. Thanks to @KhandujaM, @RajanAnandan, @ashishdave, @DeepakG606 for their continued support.

A discussion with @ashu_trv is always an intellectual marathon.

Instead of doing all the scientific research top down, teach a machine to learn without supervision and give it large amount of data, you are now closer to a statistical world model, and it seems to work!

A thread... 🧵

@nobrokercom is a big scam. Have been looking for a rental property and out of almost 20 properties we shortlisted, not a single owner has given his contact. Quite the opposite of what their name says.

And then the agents sell a package to buy owner's contact details. Pathetic!!

@Rghv_Bali I suspect the same. Also the needle which out of context is not a good validation mechanism either.

[Sumit Singh Chauhan @sumitsync]

In my opinion, in the near future, consciousness might be limited to biological systems (At least the way we define it) and might be harder or even useless to replicate on silicon.

[Sumit Singh Chauhan @sumitsync]

Often when I talk to folks about humans' mission of building AI and AGI, there are immediate discussions about consciousness, empathy, and feelings in AI systems. It's important to understand that such pursuits are yet to go beyond academic interests and sci-fi.

A Thread.

[Sumit Singh Chauhan @sumitsync]

Most of the economic problems can be solved by an intelligent AGI which is par or sub-par human intelligence. In fact, many narrow AI applications can solve critical problems in the economy. Generalization and explainability are more important problems to chase.

Booted using a free CD I got in a computer magazine more than a decade back. Life was not the same after that.
