Lovely! This is not a paid endorsement!
The millennial in me was happy to direct this commercial for @amazonmusic India!
Music unites our country! More so when it is Antakshari played across India.
Thirty minutes. One sky. Unbelievable colors. Unforgettable moments.

All praise those who give.
Yet who has taken within
To offer their self? #haiku
Walk not so far ahead,
That all familiar voices fade—
Lost in your own path.

open.substack.com/pub/pwalim… We spent 20 years moving from ownership to access.
Now AI may do the same for intelligence itself.
The big question isn’t who owns the data.
It’s whether intelligence becomes something we own—or something we rent.
Is AI just a smoke screen for Indian IT majors. The real pain is something else? I explore this in detail in my article here: pwalimbe.substack.com/p/the-… #AI #GenAI #outsourcing

Cutest Video on The Internet Today!
B Lakshmi Hari discontinued her education after 6th grade & after marriage and two kids could never go back to school or pursue education.
Her son Vijay came to tenth grade and insisted that his mother also appear for tenth exams in distance education.
Both mother and son wrote the exams this year together.
Lakshmi secured 360/600
Vijay scored 562/600
Their joy is a pure 100/100 ❤️❤️❤️
Love and hugs to Lakshmi, Vijay and their entire family 🤗

A doctor from Nagpur told me something about how she is implementing AI in her clinic that amazed me.
She runs a small clinic. 15 years of practice. 40 patients a day. Her biggest problem was never diagnosis. It was follow-up. Patients would come in, get a prescription, and disappear. Half would not complete their medication. Some would not come back for follow-up. A few would show up months later with the same problem, worse.
She tried everything. Reminder calls. SMS. A register. Nothing worked. Her assistant forgot. Patients ignored SMS. The register got outdated by Thursday.
Then she figured something out.
Her patients would not read text messages. But they would listen to a WhatsApp voice note in Marathi. Something about hearing a voice felt personal in a way text did not.
She also knew that in many homes the husband controls the wife's phone. So the message had to make sense if someone else opened it. Each patient chose their own follow-up phrase during the first visit.
And she knew compliance collapses between day 4 and day 7. Not later. The intervention has to hit on day 4. By day 7 it is too late.
She built this using Claude. No code. No developer. WhatsApp voice notes in Marathi on day 4, day 6, and day 10. Personalized. Follow-up compliance went from 40% to over 75%.
No engineer could have built this.
Not because it is technically hard. Any developer could build it in a weekend. Because no engineer would have known to build it this way.
Voice note instead of text. Marathi instead of Hindi. Husband controlling the phone. Custom phrase at first visit. Day 4 intervention window. Every design decision came from 15 years of watching patients in Vidarbha not come back.
That is domain knowledge. It does not exist in any dataset or AI course.
India produces 1.5 million engineers a year. Huge numbers learning AI. "AI/ML enthusiast." "Prompt engineering certified."
A lot of people know how AI works but have no idea how any industry actually works.
The engineer builds for the problem they imagine. The domain expert builds for the problem that exists.
I have seen this in legal. Engineers built beautiful AI tools for lawyers.
Technically impressive. Lawyers do not use them. Because a lawyer's real problem is tracking 150 hearing dates across 4 courts while managing a clerk absent half the time.
A CA who filed 500 GST returns knows where errors happen. A teacher who taught 10,000 students knows the problem is not content but attention. No engineer in HSR Layout designs for a student with a shared phone studying between 9 and 11 pm.
India has an advantage nobody talks about. Millions of English-speaking domain experts carrying decades of ground-level knowledge. Globally rare. And almost nobody is training them to use AI.
India does not have an AI talent shortage. It has domain experts who think they are not "technical enough."
They are wrong.

So true
The sun was free. They sold you SPF 50 and a vitamin D deficiency.
Sleep was free. They sold you an app, a pill, and a wearable that tells you your sleep was bad.
Walking was free. They sold you a treadmill, a fitness tracker, and a £180 pair of trainers.
Fasting was free. They sold you meal replacement shakes and the anxiety that skipping breakfast would wreck your metabolism.
Cold water was free. They sold you a £3,000 plunge barrel and a podcast episode about it.
Silence was free. They sold you a meditation app with a premium tier.
Animal fat was cheap. They sold you seed oils, then supplements to replace what the animal fat contained.
Tallow was cheap. They sold you a seventeen-step skincare routine and a clinical trial proving your face needs ceramides.
Meat was cheap. They are currently selling you the idea that you shouldn't eat it.
The 20th century removed access to everything the body needs to function.
The 21st century is selling it back, one subscription at a time.
Your great-grandmother had none of the products.
She had all of the things.

Congrats to @IncomeTaxIndia @FinMinIndia @nsitharaman for this fabulous work. Use technology to identify and punish tax evaders. Use raids as a very last resort. @narendramodi @PMOIndia

Someone saved all of the Epstein emails from the releases and set up a Gmail clone site that you can scroll as if you were in Jeffery's Gmail.
You can search by contacts, photos and even flight history.

Anthropic have just buried OpenAI and ChatGPT with this ad lmfao
There’s no coming back from that
Here’s to a year where:
AI writes the code, and you take the credit
Prompts replace most meetings
The only thing hallucinating is your New Year’s resolution :-)
