I pick up my phone to check the time, but put it down say 22 minutes later. I had laughed twice, maybe, learnt nothing (usually), and still did not know what the time is.If you are reading this and smiling, then you have done it too.We keep saying the kids these days can't focus. Have you looked at us? The kids at least are honest about it. We adults have a list of genuine excuses to justify it, o...
We have spent years asking whether artificial intelligence will destroy humanity.Akshay Chopra’s After Us asks a more unsettling question:What if it doesn’t?What if the intelligence we create is benevolent? What if it solves problems we couldn’t? What if it understands us better than we understand ourselves? What if it doesn’t need to hate humanity to make humanity irrelevant?That possibility stay...

The other day, I picked up my camera and looked through the viewfinder. But instead of pressing the shutter, I stopped. It made me wonder why we feel this constant, basically automatic urge to record every single moment. Does taking a photo actually help us remember things better, or does it change how our memories work? When we experience a memory in our life through our phone screen or...

Every few years, we stand in long queues under the scorching sun, proudly ink our fingers, and cast our votes. We are told that this is the greatest celebration of democracy.But I often find myself asking a simple question:If the voices of the people are not consistently reflected in governance, what is the true purpose of an election?Democracy was never meant to be just about choosing representat...

Brave New World is often described as a novel about the future. What struck me most is that it is really a novel about comfort.Most societies worry about oppression arriving with boots, prisons, and fear. Huxley imagined something far more seductive. What if people surrendered their freedom willingly because comfort felt easier than truth? What if control arrived not through pain but through pleas...
My thoughts and my twitter’s feeds thoughtsThis week was all about the ‘loop’ and Fable.The LoopThe best way I can describe it is: design the flowchart. Think of the deterministic flowchart on how you want your agents to work.Aim to have: more deterministic bits - this keeps things more predictablemore verification bits - this is agent feedbackmore useful tool calls - tests, logs, screenshots, rep...
