Strong attack on frontier AI labs from silicon valley insider and Palantir CEO Alex Karp.
He explicitly mentions that enterprises must own the "means of production" in the video interview. I have long talked about why no large enterprise or nation that wants to be wealthy should ever outsource the critical capital goods needed for production - it would end up transferring "alpha" (all value creation) to its capital goods providers.
In a different context, this issue is already causing pain in the textile spinning industry. High tech robotic spinning machines are so expensive, it now takes over 7 years to recover the cost of machines by selling the finished product (yarn). So some of the mills are rethinking the foreign capital goods vs domestic labor spending.
Software companies that do "tokenmaxxing" also transfer all value to frontier labs.
Here is the crux of the matter: the entire business case behind the multi-trillion dollar capex by AI providers hinges on extracting all value from the rest of the economy and concentrating that in a few companies.
The rest of the economy has started to rebel, even the rest of the _silicon valley_ economy!
I bet we can build it in 1B $ (I am talking about one if the best frontier models). But we can start with just 250M $ as well. We also have talent. We just need opportunity.
I think you did not get it. Foundational models cost between 50/60 b $ to build along with hyper cloud. They are getting commoditized . There are multiple models. What we need are vertical LLM’s, hyper cloud, multiple large AI apps etc. we need LLMs for cyber security, defence. All this needs an AI mission. AI is not LLM alone.
Spine always grows in the back that is against the wall. America denied us crucial LOX/LH₂ cryogenic engine technology. We developed it indigenously and using it we now send American satellites into space.
India can remain sovereign only if it has a sovereign AI. @narendramodi

Have no Shame in saying this.....
PROUD OF PM MODI! 🇮🇳
He didn’t bend under pressure.
Taking on the USA is never easy, but he showed what he’s made of.
India’s interests came first — always.
Leadership isn’t about convenience; it’s about courage.
Sunetra Pawar has high regards for and is follower of Samartha Ramdas Swami. Those who know MH-politics, this is a big deal. It was not publicized until now because - well it was irrelevant since she was not in politics. That also showed the "slight" difference in dharma related temperament of Ajit Pawar as opposed to that of Sharad Pawar (who once said he is father of the gods - although in context of a progressive poem/poet).
I have a hunch that she will play good and constructive role in mending the V1-V2-V3 relations in MH sociopolity. As all the Gods know, the intra-community social relations of MH-Hindus urgently need mending.
An old photo of hers from my collection that I saved from my browsing on SM all these years. She was speaking (as a visitor and NOT a member) at sangh shakha event.
Only three types of RWers are defending UGC regulations: those who aren’t affected by it, those who are on party malai/payroll and those who are useful idiots.
This policy is the worst kind of leftist identitarianism unleashed by any govt, even worse than Sachar Committee report (which this govt is also implementing as faithfully as UPA).
Opposing this should be the easiest and most obvious thing for a Hindutvawadi or a nationalist. Those supporting it or playing it down for any reason are neither.
