Lol. Predicted this years ago. Even had a name for it as coined by @andymukherjee70.
Had a fascinating chat with @arvindsubraman and Devesh Kapur. They argue that India's official GDP data is wrong. They posit that the liberalisation phase ended a decade+ back. India's growth has fallen sharply since then. 🎙️ https://t.co/iD0kKQzS8V

When the poor do not grow to the middle, the elites cease to matter because what matters is not aggregate growth but it's distribution. By favoring the octopus class , we have made them irrelevant even at home.
I warned of this in 2019. India is no longer a global player so Indian elites are now irrelevant When a country falls into a middle income trap its elites cease to matter Boast all you like in the future tense game is over @andymukherjee70

The WSJ newsroom agreed to take an AI vending machine. Then they declared psychological warfare on it.

The immigration backlash happened in US because H1B workers were seen as replacements for natives, who were forced to train them as their replacements. Now what if this happens *at scale* to everyone everywhere but by AI immi-agents imported by AI companies? Social unrest!

We point out that Stable coins are a proxy for Crypto which signals GoI that there is a (falling for hope) segment of population from which more tax can be collected. That is their purpose in our financial system, which is our disagreement with DG's statement in mint enclave.
@iam_anandv & I opine in @livemint that #stablecoins are not so much a monetary #innovation as an emotional one, wrapping existing #fiat systems in an extra layer of belief, hope and ‘perceived’ stability. https://t.co/wGCWU9usYf

To repeat a point: an executive-controlled parliament is not a meaningful body in any sense, and unfortunately the Indian Constitution designed Parliament in a way that it would be under executive control.
Largely empty seats in #LokSabha, on both sides, when #Parliament is debating the #NREGA repeal bill. But this is what happens when MPs are forced to sit through and participate in marathon debates. It needn't be like this, but deliberately done. First Govt calls a short

Software engineering has radically changed in the last two years. The execution is less of a problem. Decision making and steering teams are the major new challenges.

This!!! The hardest skill to learn is to say No. Cruft accumulates and cleaning is often deletion and reconciliation much less addition.
In 3-4 years, the most valuable job will be the job of deletion and reconciliation. Engineers who have the right influence to delete and simplify will be rewarded the most.

I have often argued with @ssmumbai that much of India's growth is a side effect of Pax Americana. Even our vaunted (or haunted) KYC regime is because of our association with Pax Americana. That era is done, and we are left with the last embers of it. What comes after is fumes.
NEW!! German Chancellor Merz warns Europe to prepare for a lasting shift in relations with the U.S. "The decades of Pax Americana are largely over for us in Europe, and for us in Germany as well. It no longer exists as we knew it. And nostalgia won't change that," he says

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. $30 per seat per month. $1.4 million annually. I called it "digital transformation." The board loved that phrase. They approved it in eleven minutes. No one asked what it would actually do. Including me. I

There’s a fundamental shift in how the Internet works taking shape right now. This week, Anthropic has opensourced the Model Context Protocol and Google has “industrialised” it. The foundations of how AI agents will interact with the entire Internet are quietly being put into

100% accurate. Have tracked this for 5+ years going back to 2019-20 period. Muling their bank accounts and Identity is the one asset they can rent out. Participating in the Cyber Crime Enterprise is another way.
