Seminal movie of my generation: "Matrix" is getting a sequel. #Matrix4 . I saw the trilogy for the first time half a decade after last movie. But I am matrix fanboy , rather a matrix nerd. 1/n
I believe most people don't understand the "Real" story of the matrix . Even those who think they understand it , understand only a part of it. Real story and message of the matrix are hidden in plain sight. 2/n #Matrix4
BTW Another movie which made a huge impact on me and whic is not understood is Bourne Identity. 3/N

The Morning After Scarcity: A 🧵 about spirituality and religion After AI and Before Enlightenment
The road is still wet from last night’s rain, and I’m sipping my morning cup of tea — my one sliver of “me time” before the chaos of the day kicks in.
There’s a damp earthy smell in the air. Someone nearby is playing devotional music in Kannada. I don’t understand the words, but I vibe with it. It feels… right. Soul music, but regional.
Some thoughts on Interfaces for AI Era. Why Buttons and Text Boxes Won’t Cut It Anymore. 🧵 #UI #UX #AI
We are living through what many call the Cambrian explosion of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Everyone — from pundits to programmers to politicians — has a theory or a “vision” for the future. I have none. Or at least, none that I feel confident about.
I envy the conviction of visionaries and the confidence of the ignorant. The problem is, it’s often hard to tell which is which.
I’ve seen this movie before, and spoiler alert: it doesn’t have a happy ending. What surprises me is how normal it feels for folks to ignore the obvious red flags—and, in cases like this gentleman’s, even throw a party for them. Let’s be honest: it’s nothing but glorified pickpocketing, just with better Wi-Fi.
I don’t know if Zepto is guilty of this; I really hope not. They don’t need these shenanigans. The market’s juicy enough to grow without playing dirty, and their founders are way too smart to wreck a good thing.
But hey, I wouldn’t be shocked if some “hacker” is quietly hacking away at ethics behind the scenes.
They had product that could have disrupted the industry by moving VAS to a Revenue Share model from the Fixed Cost model championed by an incumbent. An Incumbent who made his fortune by riding on mobile wave.
That incumbent pulled a dirty trick and snatched the contract right from his hand at the last minute. (a story for another day when I am drunk . its worthy of a Netflix Mini Series).
A multi part thread on empathy and its importance in product design. 🧵
Often times in my discussions with fellow PMs and Designers topic of empathy comes up. Everyone agrees that empathy is an essential starting point for a delightful design.
While everyone understands its importance in theory. In practice. Few actually do anything about it. Empathy is one of that woo-woo new-age concept that is hard to translate into action. That is why we see a lot of sub-optimal designs and dysfunctional products.
AFAIK evidence against Nieman is at best circumstantial ergo non-conclusive. In all likelihood, he will get away with a slap on the wrist.IMHO It's a courageous but immature move on part of Carlsen to walk away from competition because of that.
First Naomi Osaka and now Carlsen. It is surprising how young upstarts and [potential] future doyens of sports are choosing to opt-out of competitions (and contractual obligations) because of personal [subjective ] assessment.
Is it because they are more loyal to the game than the governing body? That kind of transcendence is unlikely at a young age. Or is it the case of a lack of resilience and willingness to fight to change the system from within?
