this guy has prime cult leader energy

[@pumpituppowell]

He seems like a regular happy guy to me. Are normal chill people considered "cult leader energy" in New York or whereever you're from?

[@omarnomad]

this guy is amazing, down to earth and very sharp. Love it, thanks for sharing. I totally will buy one Daylight

[@rodrigob]

Even if there is debate about the companies and products, I am really liking this channel. I love the format of somewhat raw interviews with people putting the energy to change the world. I really like the diversity of topics covered.

[@balarajukatta2558]

In 2019, there were over 2 billioncomputers in the world, including servers, desktops, and laptops And more than Billion phones. Potential for new screen technology is immense and health implications enormous.Path breaking and Paradigm shifting Anjan Way to go

[@sucim]

Step 1: Invent a new display technology Step 2: Ramble about kings and metaphysical concepts for 40min 😂

[@timenotspaceproduction]

very cool where he talks about diff materials science research papers from all around the world coming together to recreate and evolve an almost-lost screen technology

[@siamakzahmat]

Interesting interview, Anjan shared some wisdom with us! Now I'm really following his company, hopefully Daylight will be successful and bring many different products. If the reviews are positive I might consider the DC1 or DC3.

[@HxHStudios]

This guy is absolutely amazing!

[@Tobias-fl3nb]

We need more people like this in the world

[@gustavoentrala9611]

This guy is very very interesting. And he has delivered a really interesting technology. If you watch the first interviews with Steve Jobs, he came across as rude and aloof. But he also DELIVERED. So please don’t judge the character. Pay attention to the work.

[@mujtabashah3667]

I doubt anyone realises how much productivity society will gain from this product. I know that 80% of my time and work is consumed by destructive and life sucking consumption of inferior information and videos.

[@L0615T1C]

amazing interview, as always

[@SurPatel-uz2fu]

Great interview, wish it was a bit longer

[@djh1455]

thatd make it way too obvious of a scam

[@SurPatel-uz2fu]

@@djh1455 Can you elaborate on how you got to that?

[@AGI-Bingo]

Definitely wish it was longer.. Jason maybe consider doing a 3rd act with the founders. Act 1 - main episode Act 2 - 1 on 1 interview Act 3 - open conversation on x spaces with you as host and moderator. Just an idea, to let us see these incredible people for more than 2 short episodes, and also won't be consuming on you to produce ❤

[@AGI-Bingo]

Daylight to the Moon! 🚀 This was one of the most inspirational ones yet! Thanks Jason, Thanks Anjan! ❤

[@CarlosNoriega1]

You should publish these interviews as podcasts. 🙏

[@ab185]

23:30 "I don't have much to spend money on" as he sits in front of a $2,500 Peloton, $5,000 worth of Syng speakers, and talks about having a $3,500 Vision Pro 🤣

[@Ik0As]

I don't trust this tech guy.

[@rodrigob]

He did say most of it is bought with the company money. However I agree he did spill "rich family vibes".

[@ab185]

@@rodrigob it's even worse that he's admitting the company is funding purchases for his home. He does not need $5,000 Syng speakers for "market research" or whatever he claimed. Same goes for the Vision Pro and Peloton.

[@Onionator]

Very insightful interview ngl

[@ParulGoyal-sd1ci]

Dont understand all the negativity inthe comments. Time will tell if this product will improve people's digital lives. The vision is real and needed.

[@jonnyde]

As a startup they lack a decent hosting ... 20+ minutes later I am still not to end of a 1.5 minute video

[@shroomcraftgames]

cant wait to find this guy in gta6

[@Lukas-qy2on]

Hi! i understand this is different from traditional e-ink but does it still use the same basic idea? do we have the energy benefits etc. as well?

[@Ik0As]

Hi there. I found out about Daylight by the other video on this channel and I decided to dig a little deeper. For what I can see, al the marketing around the device is really careful not the mention what technology they are using for the display. On the other video on this channel, they refer to the tech as e-paper, which is a very generic term used on the e-reader world. E-paper basically only means, daylight readable and with a paper-like feel, this is not the same as e-ink. E-ink is also daylight readable and with a paper-like feel, but the display mechanism is like ink, which means electronically moving pigment to create images, this mechanism is a lot slower, that's why videos on e-readers with e-ink display look really choppy or with really poor contrast. On the other video, Anjan Katta give a general technical explanation of the tech for their display, but honestly it is really nonsensical and the parts where you are able to parse any kind of meaning point to them using a transflective LCD display, that's why they are able to achieve 60 to 120 FPS (According to them), but it is not a new technology.

[@Fotenks]

Can you try and get an interview with Atomic Semi

[@ThierryC-te3rx]

Hi, my question would be"why building a product around this new technology and not selling it to the best offering or the ones who would build great products with it?"

[@Ik0As]

From my point of view there are 2 posible reasons: 1. The founders are really quirky and they want to make a specific product, so the are not interested on selling displays. 2. They can't. Because the display tech isn't theirs. Me personally, I feel like this is combination of both. These guys are getting a display from a 3rd party, assembling a tablet with it and selling a priced up device using old tech and deceptive marketing.

[@TheFunnyJohn]

He says enough is enough but he charging 700 bucks CMON

[@jonnyb1761]

when you get just the right weed

[@eccodreams]

This is not a new display technology.

[@eugeniocg3079]

lmao he's back?!?

[@elck3]

The elitism is off the charts.

[@Mkz0r]

Hate is totally healthy yeah? Cool.

[@sungk3962]

Why do I think he is a fraud, selling $100 TFT LCD for $700.

[@AGI-Bingo]

He is selling a product, how much do ipads go for these days ?

[@Enhancedlies]

that duality, i think he seems honestly explaining but also the price is something I cant get past...

[@sungk3962]

@@AGI-Bingo Less than $300.

[@computing1]

@@AGI-Bingo people complaining about the price is fair, but calling it a fraud because of the price, I think is unfair. Original iPad came out in 2010, and cost $500. Adjusted for inflation, that is … $719 in 2024 dollars. So basically the same price as the Daylight. Of course, Apple benefited from massive economies of scale and likely had crazy margins in the iPad, which Daylight doesn’t benefit from. I would be shocked if Daylight has much margin if any on its current batches.

[@Jackson_Zheng]

What is it TFT LCD? Did you even take a look at the product?

[@OrganicGreens]

look at all the fake positive comments lol. keep paying for em buddy

[@Flowilty]

Amazing you think these comments are fake. This channel will probably be at 1m by mid-way thru 2025. Keep being a hating loser clown

[@oversovl]

Everything about this guy seems scammy tbh

[@mrwayneright]

New Tech can help do things, but will never change the base nature of humans which is part of what he is looking for. Jesus is the way.
