@@kosurimahesh how can you say Brahmins suppressed Which data do you have Kings were mugals Their administrator were Muslim Then how Brahmins came in between Take it real , don't act fool

[@ubayyd]

​@@podfestt The Mughals ruled India from 1526 to 1858 which is 331 years, You think we only have data from this short period? Indian and Hindu history is MUCH greater than a few hundred years. Please educate yourself as to the oppression of the lower class by the Brahmin elitists, to this day most of the population from lower castes living below the poverty line are marginalized, even among the middle class we find prejudice and stigma. Casteism is deeply rooted in India's history and still affects society today. Historical evidence shows caste divisions for over 2000 years! for example in ancient texts like the Manusmriti. Marginalized caste groups face discrimination, social exclusion, and struggles to access the same resources that upper caste acquire with much more ease. You either lack awareness or *deliberately* choose ignorance and deny the reality and suffering of these communities. Please don't engage in discussions and topics (like the ones discussed in the video) especially if you're going to introduce discrimination and caste-based politics into them.

One thing I realized all the starting founders in this company are high performers with Phds or some work experience in some of the biggest companies in the valley. There are tons of AI grads in the US market, but from what I see in this video, it takes some really super smarrt 3-4 power players to start real companies that get respected in the valley.

[@striker44]

He would have never made it this far in such a short time. The ecosystem of resources and especially his access to brilliant minds, VCs, founders, talent pool that he has quick access is unprecedented. He is not bogged down by any reservations, politicians or goondas or hierarchies or language, caste, religion or unions or bandhs or pollution or .... the list just goes on. He has no distractions and just pure focus from himself and his team. This kind of environment is not possible anywhere else in the world, though it is changing in few places around the world that wants to mimic silicon valley. If India creates such an enviournment, sure many will stay back and many will come back. That is however years from now.

[@balasubramanianiyer4194]

The question about AI negatively affecting people’s ability to think critically is very valid. Aravind’s answer that smart people ask smart questions, I am afraid, is too simplistic at this juncture. Perhaps it is more a question that should be directed at a neurologist. However, it cannot be denied that this question will continue to haunt those in AI space and they need to find better answers.

I finally got to work as an AI developer over the past 4 months. It is going pretty good actually. Most AI solutions are built on top of OpenAI or some other LLM based infrastructure. WE put guard rails to tame the AI to perform tasks, and automate things humans do. Bascially it is automation to reduce head-count and save $$$ for tech companies. AI is more than this once I am done with my US stint. I hope to go back to India, where I have more $$$ to hire and lead a team of engineers to build future into existance. Arvind has grit to work through restrictions in the US immigration. I do not have the time or the age to waste circumnavigatng that. India seems like a better faster option for me. Although he is going to make 10X what I could ever make in India. But hey as long as I build stuff have my own company dealing with AI in India, that is victory enough for me. For a guy who was laid off and struggled for 8 years with lots of weird bad luck , AI saved me and gave me a purpose / challenge to work towards in life now I get the rewards.

Thank you Marina for sharing this amazing interview. From the English learning perspective, I find very hard to understand Indians generally speaking, but he is quite understandable, no judgements here I am worst, just observing. And I have a question for you about it, do you think that the fact in India they study English as primary language and I am pretty sure all the lectures there, are in English, their strong accent is acquired over time and then it is so difficult to brush it up or improve it. It is my huge limit, the accents distract me so much on the comprehension, it is not this the case, but if the accent, whatever it is, it is very strong, I struggle a lot to comprehend what their are saying. Please keep going with beautiful interviews like this one. Thank you again.
