Look at this map and you’ll know why. These companies fund each other in a loop. Nvidia funds OpenAI, OpenAI pays Oracle, Oracle buys Nvidia chips, Microsoft funds OpenAI. The money rarely leaves the circle. Google invented the underlying technology in 2017 and still ceded the market because disrupting a $280B search business was a harder sell internally than building the next one.

you become undefeatable when youve mastered the art of of being disliked and be okay with it. most people trade their authenticity for approval; they shrink to fit in, they silence their truth to keep peace, they dim their light so others don't feel dark.
but success requires disappointing people and outgrowing people. learn to be okay with being misunderstood; your freedom depends on not needing everyone to like you.

@caffeinexher Make sense.

[Hardeep @hardeep_gambhir]

i have an idea:

imagine an accelerator but for making your ideas in: film, code and research.

you pick a problem you want to solve. 8 weeks. part-time.

a hard one and then in the accelerator you get access to talks and q/a from the best ppl.

for film, @BenAffleck

for code, the guy who solved his dog’s cancer w GPT

we get 100,000 ppl registered for this. everyone makes their side projects and puts online.

at the end, the best ppl demo their work at The Palace of Versailles in front of top CEOs, ministers, government officials. (we already have a soft hold)

the entire campaign will generate around 1B views. globally.

the biggest marketing campaign of AI but by the young people for the young people.

not a corporate company.

what’s wrong here? how can we make this into a moonshot?

we’re down to put $500k+ into this if needed. prize pool would be $200k for the top 5 people.

i see the entire budget of this inflating to $700k max with potential $3M+ created in sales pipeline of enterprise deals for AI companies.

i really like this idea but want feedback on it. what do you think?

Underrated life advice: Have a life outside of work. Build real friendships. Pursue your interests. Create memories. Drive with the windows down. Go on adventures. Get lost in a good book. A career is important, but it should be part of your life story, not the entire story.

[H’s mom @aiishadahir]

Today, the imam said something I’ll never stop thinking about

Most of us think Eid Al Adha is simply about sacrifice. About Ibrahim

But the most dangerous thing Allah can give you is the exact thing you prayed for and that’s exactly what Eid al-Adha is really about.

“If you’re proud to be Muslim, reply with ‘Alhamdulillah!’”

Eid Mubarak🫶

Underrated life advice: Become a purveyor of encouragement. Notice what's good in people. Tell them when they do something well. Celebrate their progress. Root for them to win. Be inspired by their success. The world already has enough critics. Be different.

Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.

2. Mosaic Wellness (₹750 crore FY25 revenue) -Shouvik Ghosh Roy (CPTO) will demo their in-house agents which run their large performance marketing budget

3. FarMart (₹1970 crore FY25 revenue) - Sukhpreet Sekhon (CPO) will share how his team saved a couple of crores by building AI agents for finance workflows

4. GoKwik (₹4,000 crore valuation) - Vargab & Akshat will present Kwik Ads & Kwik which are helping thousands of D2C brands improve their ROAS

5. Pooja Jauhari (EMoMee) - WPP acquired her prev. co. The Glitch in 2018 for an estimated ₹100 crore
