If there's anything that I've learned new about AI, it's because of Varun. If there's anything new I will do with AI. It will be because of Sundar. So enjoyable to watch

[@goldnutter412]

So glad to see the boss man say it - hallucination is a *FEATURE* the database is doing exactly what it was designed to do ! These are learning years.. at some point we will just use them for an interface. Since words are just metaphorical it will be important to index and maintain all used words, and chunks of words, for the management/logic part of the system. Probably going to end up needing to do some decentralized middleware IMHO. We are the source of the "intelligence" in the first place ! being able to asymmetrically draw from the power of the crowd, and keep humans in the loop is a must for obvious reasons. The ASI Alliance is very exciting, as an OCEAN staker but also because it is the right thing to do. Why compete as decentralized protocols.. they have 3 amazing teams now forming one .. now just add Google as a partner !!? Sundar is very impressive.

*Explained: The conspiracy to make AI seem harder than it is! By Gustav Söderström* @ Spotify R&D 9 months ago.. how time flies I found this PERFECT, but 3Blue1Brown is also doing visual neural network flow and explainer videos now, he is the man !!

Hey Varun! Congratulations on the great interview! I'm not sure if you remember me, but we used to play Dota against each other back in Manipal. Seeing you grow so much makes me feel proud! Kudos on the good work!

But it can be!!! Varun has great editing team!! They can do anything 😭😭

[@adityakuppa694]

Super happy for you. You make quality content and quality deserves to be recognized.

[@cemetry]

The low numbers of views in your channel is a testament to why India will never lead the race in tech, business or anything productive. Our Indian brothers and sisters would rather watch and follow cringe channels like UK 07 or Elvish Yadav than to learn and grow from your channel. If it was up to me I would ban purposeless vlogging in India to save Indians from destroying whatever little is left up there on those shoulders. Keep doing the good work bro, more power to you. 🔥💪

[@ashutoshmakwana3326]

Lol as a techie i can say he is EY of tech..😂😂

[@abhijeet.singh19]

India already is leading the tech race. If you were in US and carrying the flimsy document on getting vaccinated you would know what I am talking about.

[@cemetry]

@@ashutoshmakwana3326 Is it because he is focusing more into content creation?

[@vrajeshbadgujar]

Thank you so much Varun asking such genius questions, especially that DSA one!

[@sagyr]

I still remember 4 years back when varun has this video called learn to fuckin code , i never regretted my decision, thank you so much man.

[@OffersAlone]

I watched that video a dozen times myself in the last few years, but sadly, never had the means or courage or aptitude to pursue coding. How are you doing and what are you doing now? So you started your coding career after watching that video?

[@sagyr]

​@@OffersAlone i am currently a frontend engineer here in India working for a very good startup , man believe me you can do it , I did it even though I had 10000 odds against me like not having a cs degree , so many self doubts but in the end it got me something I'm 21 right now I am exploring unreal now . Trust me you can do it , just one thing don't be on LinkedIn

[@rajns8643]

​@@OffersAlone Starting coding is indeed difficult! But, its only a matter of time before you gain confidence in it. For me, Code With Harry and Telusko KZbin channels proved to be a really good starting point.

[@shrikarmadhu2776]

Wow 🤩 this interview was sooo much better than all those journalists who keep asking are u scared of search being competed! U shared what he’s good at and he in turn shared on perspectives regarding wrappers and FAANG interviews in both cases don’t be something superficial and riding the way but to go deeper and extract meaningful value. Great going & so proud that Bangalore hudga had d day wid his idol or fan boy moment 😇

[@anirudhatalmale5575]

[@siddharththakkar5902]

Amazing, super happy for you

[@NAVEENKUMAR-xl4pb]

Good work Varun, good questions!!

[@PriyankGarg28]

The first question you asked on AI, I think it was more on the lines of building the models itself in India and launching competitors for Google, and not using the APIs of big companies to build something. I was eager to hear about Sundar's take on it, but he either knowingly or unknowingly answered it in a different way.

[@Saipdd]

Him answering the question the way we wanted would have changed the stock price of google hands down

[@rahulisgreat4911]

Varun, your questions were fabulously crafted :) Appreciate the brevity coupled with profound impact! I second your views in the video about being bullish on Google even with all the noise around its AI models, I somehow believe Google is about to kill it super soon! Oh and Sundar Pichai was phenomenal to say the least. The way he answered all your questions and gave advice was incredible. Thanks a lot for doing this, Varun! ☺

[@aryanmeshram24]

You were at 5k subscriber when I subscribed to it we both have evolved so much

[@yogeshkulkarni]

Piece from 4:50 called 'Wrapper Startups' is insightful for those who are building on top of models... if its shallow value addition, the next version of model may just have it..

[@goldnutter412]

What about the other way around 🤔one day, wrap a pattern matching, logic thing.. in an interpreter (universal translator?). The only way it can interpret is matching internal patterns/sets against external data.. perhaps needing dynamic scaling and distribution of resources and interactivity with constraints #GoogleResearch 🤔 if it invents language by interacting with itself in an apparently physical game.. will we understand it at all ? good thing we would be able to use emojis and sign language from within said game. It's gonna get weird.🤣 I would use Elixir

[@sumitchavan21]

To see Varun finally get here , it felt personal. Glad to be one of the initial followers of Varun. First mover feeling :P

Will you please tell me whether it's real or AI generated content. Why I'm asking you is Mr.Varun liked it 🤷🏻‍♂️ If the answer is YES, I'm surprised that Mr.Varun should have more questions to ask him
