THE END.
WHAT A STORY.

[Sanjana @herecomsthesan]

switching jobs is so scary what if they use microsoft teams instead of slack

[Priyanshu Ratnakar @0xratnakar]

the impact ai summit in delhi was a perfect demonstration of why india keeps losing in tech

and i’m tired of pretending it wasn’t a disaster.

let me paint the actual picture:

> cash-only payments at a “digital india” upi ??
> pm visit → main hall cleared for hours, everyone else just stood around doing nothing
> exhibitors locked out of their own stalls
> 3-hour queue just to enter
> a founder’s product got stolen during the summit
> no wifi at an ai event.
> can’t take your keys if you came via car/bike
> no laptop/camera at tech event
> people were asked to sit on the ground
> speaker lineup with consultants/bureaucrats who’ve never shipped a real product
> the registration system crashed multiple times. people who registered weeks in advance couldn’t get in.

vips walked past massive queues while founders and builders stood outside in the heat. 🤡

and 27 countries witnessed all of this live

networking areas? no space to stand.

many demos didn’t work because there was no stable internet. 5g??

this is what happens when optics matter more than execution.
when innovation becomes photo-op

the sad part is india has insane talent.

founders building world class products.
engineers and researchers doing real work.

leave India for a sec, im at network school and the youngest crowd is all Indians.

but we keep shooting ourselves in the foot with performative nonsense.

the west isn’t winning because they’re smarter.
they’re winning because they care about details.

because they respect builders.
because their tech summits actually work.

same story when @sama came to india last time.
boomer uncles asked the dumbest questions.
and when he said it’s hard for india to build foundational models, we took it on our ego.

rn, every founder who attended left embarrassed.

imagine international delegate left with stories about our “infrastructure.”

many friends and young builder lost a little more faith.

this wasn’t just bad planning.
it was a signal of what we value.
and clearly, it’s security theater and photo-ops over builders.

we can do better.
we have the talent.
we have the market.
we have the potential.

what we don’t have is execution and respect for the people building the future.

maybe one day we will do better. till then if you’re a founder, ignore the noise. keep building.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

[Congress @INCIndia]

मोदी सरकार E20 पेट्रोल के नाम पर देश को तगड़ा चूना लगा रही है। E20 पेट्रोल के कारण वाहन मालिक बेहद परेशान हैं।

आलम ये है कि 👇

• गाड़ियों का माइलेज घट गया
• एक्सेलरेटर-कार्बोरेटर सीज हो रहे
• गाड़ियों के इंजन ख़राब हो रहे
• मेंटनेंस का खर्चा बढ़ रहा

लोग अपनी मेहनत की कमाई से गाड़ी खरीदते हैं। फिर उसे चलाने के लिए तमाम तरह के टैक्स भरते हैं, लेकिन मोदी सरकार में मिलने वाला एथेनॉल मिक्स पेट्रोल उनकी गाड़ी को कबाड़ बना देता है।

नरेंद्र मोदी और नितिन गडकरी ने कहा था कि एथेनॉल के चलते तेल सस्ता हो जाएगा- देश के लोगों को फायदा होगा।

लेकिन मोदी सरकार की इस घटिया नीति का फायदा सिर्फ नितिन गडकरी के बेटों को मिला है, जिनकी कंपनियां एथेनॉल बनाती हैं।

आज नितिन गडकरी के बेटे हजारों-करोड़ रुपए छाप रहे हैं और गरीब जनता की जेब कट रही है।

ऐसे में सवाल हैं 👇

• एथेनॉल से देश को कितना फायदा हुआ?
• एथेनॉल मिश्रण के बाद भी महंगा पेट्रोल क्यों मिल रहा है?
• अगर E20 को बढ़ावा देना पब्लिक पॉलिसी है तो इसका फायदा सिर्फ नितिन गडकरी के बेटों को ही क्यों मिला?
• नरेंद्र मोदी करप्शन पर 'जीरो टॉलरेंस' की बात करते हैं, लेकिन क्या वो अपने मंत्री नितिन गडकरी के बेटों पर जांच बैठाएंगे?

[MADRID SPOT @MadridSpot]

Last season, Antony got a red card one match before Betis vs Madrid.
•Big accounts on X, including Fraudizio Romano, screamed that Antony couldn’t play vs Madrid.
•Whole social media turned it into Madrid slander.
•His suspension was revoked by CTA itself and he played against Madrid.

Now Huijsen gets a wrong red.
•CTA admits it was a mistake.
•Suspension not revoked.
•Madrid’s appeal rejected.
•Club has to go to court to lift it. Awaiting verdict.

Anyone who follows La Liga knows anti-Madridismo runs deep. The “Perez owns La Liga” narrative is the dumbest take ever. This is not football, this is negreira league.

[Madrid Zone @theMadridZone]

Hey @LaLiga, try sending 2 players off for no reason next time.

Maybe it will work?

[WolfRMFC @WolfRMFC]

WHY IS THIS MAN STILL ALLOWED TO BE A REFEREE????

[Madrid Zone @theMadridZone]

Real Madrid goal gets disallowed, VAR takes TEN minutes to show the "offside" image.

Dean Huijsen gets sent off despite not being the last man and 40 meters away from goal, VAR doesn't even check.

Weird league. Weird behavior.

[Rishank Verma @verma_rishank]

What a shit league @LaLiga @LaLigaEN
Watch any Real Madrid game from last 1 year and you can clearly see the bias!
