I'm building a voice agent that can detect and warn against scam calls at the @SarvamAI Hackathon today hosted by @GrowthX_Club.
So far only text in and out but moving to the audio build now.

We’ve secured additional strategic capital as part of a seed extension, bringing our total funding to $8 million!
But more importantly, we’ve brought on a group of mission-aligned investors with deep expertise in ocean sustainability, port operations, and global technology, partners who will help us scale PierSight at the world stage.
We’re excited to introduce our new backers:
🌊 Sustainable Ocean Alliance & Seabird Ventures, a global network and venture arm driving innovation in ocean sustainability.
⚓ CE-Ventures, the corporate venture arm of @CrescentEnterp, parent company of @Gulftainer - one of the largest independent port operators in the region.
🚀 Leading tech operators including @nandanreddy (Co-founder, Swiggy), @natashamalpani (Investor, Boundless), and @shl (Founder, Gumroad).
For further information on why we raised, where we are now, and where we’re going next, read the full press release here - piersight.space/blog/adding-…
Congratulations to @GauravSeth93, Vinit, and the entire PierSight team!
I'm honored and privileged to be a part of the extended team and contribute to telling their story.

I wrote a piece four years ago, predicting AI-generated movies and, eventually, movies we consume through Neuralink-esque devices to experience emotions of the characters themselves.
I, for one, would love to experience Cooper's journey in Interstellar.

All of these UNBELIEVABLE videos were created using Sora, the new AI model from OpenAI
Watch each one and see how it makes you feel...
I don't think it's crazy for me to say this going to shift Hollywood, social apps and media forever
Video #1
Prompt: The camera directly faces colorful buildings in burano italy.
An adorable dalmation looks through a window on a building on the ground floor.
Many people are walking and cycling along the canal streets in front of the buildings.
My take:
This dog looks freakishly real. I want to pet him.
Looking to chat with folks in marketing, growth, and product about how they use ChatGPT and other AI tools in their workflow. Anyone willing to have a conversation? DMs open.
Been itching to complete my piece on why I'm an AI-Doomer and how it's going destroy civilization as we know it.
And no, it's not going to destroy us intentionally whether it's sentient or not. We're likely not going to need to get there for the collapse to happen.
Everyone is in denial because of the age old trope the technology disruption creates new jobs.
If you're in that tribe, you're wrong. If you're an academic who believes that, start digging deeper.
We're approaching 'peak jobs' in 7-10 years: Jobs created < jobs destroyed
Key Insights
1. We fired 90% of our support team; no point talking about it because it's not cool
2. But here's what's cool: GPT-wrapper built overnight
3. We're hiring for some future firing & cool threads.

I'd like to get a deeper understanding of the state of AI and what we could expect over the next 3-7 years.
Who are folks I should be speaking with? Any connects would be appreciated.
Other topics I'm interested in:
- what it might take to achieve AGI
- implications & ethics
It might sound counterintuitive at first, but giving GPT-4 a bag of shrooms makes it hallucinate less.
Folks, any idea if an Indian Pvt Ltd needs to pay TDS for monthly subscription SaaS products such as Notion, Miro etc?

Hello twitter,
I suffered from severe hemoptysis few weeks back.
Transplant is the only option left now.
I’m raising funds for my heart-lung transplant surgery 🫁. Enrolled myself on the crowdfunding platform.
RT for good karma 🔁

Shoffr was a top-notch experience. I've basically gotten everyone in my fam to use it. Especially my mum and sisters when they have to take airport rides at night.
Shoffr offers clean cars, good drivers, great CX. Never taking Ola/Uber for airport rides.
Twitter folks - I'm very excited to introduce you to @shoffr_in! Shoffr is an EV mobility venture that @kislayverma & I started with the dual objectives of building:
- a great + reliable service that we’d love to use ourselves
- a business that's sustainable in more ways than one
