The biggest opportunities right now:

1. build for solving loneliness (the more AI floods everything, the more people crave real human connection, IRL and small social)

2. build for agents that need to spend money (they're getting virtual cards and budgets, someone builds the spend controls, fraud protection, receipts)

3. build for people drowning in AI output (everyone generates infinite drafts now, the bottleneck moved to reviewing and choosing, build the judgment layer)

4. build for the burnout economy (everyone is expected to always be on and always optimizing, and the backlash toward rest, slowness, and enough is building)

5. build for verifying humans (deepfakes broke trust, every dating app, marketplace, and video call needs proof-of-human within 2 years)

6. build for the physical world (the trades, hardware, robots that AI is finally reaching)

7. build for the agent that answers the phone (every local business misses calls after 5pm, a voice agent that books the job is worth thousands a month)

8. build for the aging (70M+ boomers who want to stay healthy, sharp, and connected)

9. build for the LLM-search land grab (being the cited answer is the new SEO)

10. build for the newly automated (the paralegal, the analyst, the marketer whose job just changed and needs to reskill fast)

11. build for the seat-pricing collapse (software repricing from $50/seat to per-outcome, whoever nails outcome billing wins a category)

12. build for AI enablement (95% of businesses use nothing beyond ChatGPT, someone has to onboard the other 95%)

13. build for the agency everyone resents (businesses pay $1k/mo to agencies they hate, an agent that does 80% of it undercuts the model)

14. build for verticals on 2011 software (dentists, HOAs, contractors, all overdue for an AI-native rebuild)

15. build for reviving dead software (thousands of abandoned apps with real users, agents can maintain what a team couldn't, buy and revive)

16. build for markets too small to matter before (500 lobster fishermen was never worth a team, now it's a weekend and a real business)

17. build for agents hiring agents (a shadow economy is forming, it needs escrow, reputation, and dispute resolution for machines)

18. build for the anti-AI premium (as everything gets generated, human-made and analog become status symbols people pay up for)

19. build for distribution-first (anyone can build the product now, so the audience is the moat, media company first, product second)

20. build for the reinvention of college (what does an MBA even mean anymore)

21. build for a world with more free time than it knows what to do with (if AI takes the busywork, the question becomes what people do with the hours, and that's a civilization sized market)

note: more trends/ideas @ideabrowser (free to sign up)

22. build for the return to the physical (screens fill with slop, people crave the real world, the hands-on, the local, the analog)

23. build for the caregiving wave. The population is aging fast, tens of millions are caring for parents, and the whole burden is landing on families with no support.

24. build for the longevity shift (people want to live to 100 healthy, and a whole industry is forming around actively managing your own biology)

25. build for the housing and rootlessness problem (people can't afford to settle down, and the whole idea of a stable home base is up for grabs)

26. build for spiritual hunger (as institutions hollow out, the need for meaning, ritual, and belonging is exploding into new forms)

KEEP BUILDING

Dear @mansukhmandviya ji,

This is my PF. This is my money. I should decide when to use it and how to use it, not some random babu sitting in an EPFO office.

This department has become a harassment hub for the salaried class.

We need transparency, accountability, and efficiency from @officialepfo.

[Sarthak Singhal @justaVictimepfo]

I am giving up on our government. @narendramodi @LabourMinistry thank you for all you hard work. @officialepfo you won I lost . My form 31 was delayed by 25 days and I have lost my family member who needed that money. Thank you for all the hard work epfo.

[Ram Gopal Varma @RGVzoomin]

The unique quality of Elon musk I observed is that he is the one and only one , I ever saw in any interview , where most of the time he looks like he started thinking about the question after it was asked .. he also looks like he’s thinking while talking , trying to find words for his thoughts to express while still thinking ..This is in sharp contrast to all in his kind of position who blurt out their answers even before the question is finished

In a large percentage of his interviews and long form conversations, there is a noticeable lag between the question landing and the beginning of a coherent answer. That lag is not emptiness. It is the visible onset of actual reasoning. He appears to treat many questions as live problems rather than conversational cues. You can watch him assembling the thought in real time: evaluating assumptions, discarding weaker framings, searching for the most precise formulation, and only then converting the internal thoughts into language.
Even while speaking, he often continues refining. Sentences restart, and he will sometimes correct or sharpen a point he made only seconds earlier. The thinking does not stop when the talking begins.
This is in sharp contrast to Politicians, most CEOs, media figures, and even many scientists in the public eye who always sound decisive ..
Speed of response often is thought as mastery. Elon’s slower, more visibly constructive process rejects that theory . It suggests that he is often doing the work of thinking in front of the audience rather than merely expressing the results of prior thinking.
Also while talking about the effects of A I on humanity his face has a strange mixture of hoping for the best , but accepting the inevitability . He appears fearless because he has already run the probabilities further than most people ever can .. The expression is not the practiced optimism of a CEO selling a future, nor the performative dread of a public intellectual signalling concern. It is the face of someone who has internally modelled both the upside and the downside at a depth that makes ordinary emotional reactions feel inadequate.
Hope remains, but it is no longer naïve because it coexists with a clear eyed recognition that certain trajectories, once set in motion will develop their own momentum.
The fearlessness does not come from confidence that everything will turn out well, but It comes from having already absorbed the full range of possible outcomes , including the irreversible ones and deciding to act anyway. The result is a composure that looks like courage, but is closer to something much more austere as in the refusal to look away from the actual problem. https://t.co/7jR4KxJYxh via @YouTube

[Dr. Rajeshwari Iyer @RajeshwariRW]

India can fix most of its bureaucratic problems if the government implements just three laws:

1. No guaranteed salary or lifetime job security for government employees until their assigned work is completed.

2. Immediate termination of any government employee if they are caught engaging in corruption.

3. Time-bound public services, if a government employee fails to complete a citizen’s work within the fixed deadline, a penalty should be deducted from their salary.

Meet Dr. Veezinathan Kamakoti :

He has 2136 citations, h-index of 25 and i10 index of 10

Open challenge to the entire pidiot ecosystem to tell me what this means without looking up

[Prof. Krishnamurthy V Subramanian @SubramanianKri]

A few questions for Ms. @priyankagandhi, @INCIndia & @RahulGandhi:

1. As an IITian, I ask - what scientific or academic expertise qualifies you, Ms. @priyankagandhi, to mock the research of the Director of @iitmadras, one of India's foremost scientific institutions?

2. As a research scholar, I find Prof. V. Kamakoti's credentials speak for themselves. What are yours to pass judgment on his scholarship (other than being born into a political dynasty)?

3. Have you actually read Prof. Kamakoti's work before caricaturing him? If so, which part of his research do you disagree with, and on what evidence?

4. Since when did the cultural or religious origin of a scientific hypothesis become grounds for ridicule? Aspirin traces its origins to willow bark, artemisinin emerged from traditional Chinese medicine, and many modern drugs began as traditional remedies. Science tests hypotheses... it doesn't mock them because of where they originate.

5. Is ridiculing distinguished scholars @INCIndia's idea of promoting Viksit Bharat as envisioned by PM @narendramodi?

6. Why does @INCIndia so often reserve its derision for ideas associated with Hindu traditions? Would the same standard of mockery be applied to beliefs rooted in any other faith?

India's scientists and scholars deserve better than ridicule. They deserve evidence-based debate.

🚨 BIG NEWS!

Shrikant Shinde raises the alarm over India's UNREGULATED coaching industry💥

"Coaching centres have evolved from places of learning into a ₹500 crore business.
— This sector could touch ₹1 lakh crore by 2030.

Institutions are charging fees as high as ₹3.5 lakh, forcing families to take loans, while some are now even preparing for IPOs."👏🏻

→ Finally, an MP has brought the coaching industry's UNCHECKED commercialization to Parliament🔥

And Priyanka Gandhi whose whole existence revolves around her family- casually called this genius as Gomutra Expert.

Did Prof V. kamakoti make any crime that he stayed in India and now interested to solve India’s problems while being respectful to his roots?

Priyanka Gandhi definitely can’t understand because neither her roots are from India nor her family ever solved any problem of India.

[Vidura @viduran90]

True

[Tejasvi Surya @Tejasvi_Surya]

From Independence to 2014, India had only 51,000 MBBS seats.

Today, in just 12 years, we have added extra 90,000 MBBS seats

More than 150% increase.

AIIMS was just 7, today we have 23
There are more than 20 IITs and IIMs

This is PM Modi's contribution.
This is PM Modi's expansion.

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

Modi-ji appoints Nandan Nilekani, who contested the 2014 elections as a Congress Party candidate, because the government respects his experience leading Infosys and Aadhaar and so many other projects.

Priyanka-ji attacks IIT Madras Director Prof Kamakoti, under whose leadership IIT Madras has emerged as the top tech institution in India and has spawned a vibrant startup ecosystem.

One of them is a classy leader.
