@davidsenra Isn’t the Zuck refusing to sell to Yahoo story false? He actually accepted a $1B all stock offer which later didn’t go through because Yahoo stock crashed. So Yahoo quite literally did buy him.
@mehulmpt Depends what “AI for India” means. Many labs have read it as “better at Indian languages / norms”, which is dumb & anti bitter lesson — SOTA is much better at all these use cases. The real strategic India angle is an e2e Indian AI ecosystem. Users/GTM can still be global.
@willdepue Labor is already not necessary but something society actively chooses to have. Why do thousands of people need to work at a company whose job it is to get overpriced restaurant food delivered to your doorstep?
