I am genuinely horrified about the mere idea of having a co-founder representing a generation different from mine. You may say this is all due to stereotypes and prejudices of mine, and you will probably be right to an extent. However, I know that successful examples of partners whose ages are 20+ years apart. People have "shortcuts" to one another, and the business just naturally happens. Thoughts, anyone? This sub is so AI-dominated, so I deliberately wrote this post in the most c...

Trying to make sure i'm using the best AI tools to build and scale my sales process. Curious what workflows others have and what tools you use.

It's one of the most high value questions I've been asking myself If you're trying to get your first paying customer, do you need a fully baked product or can you demo it and have people pre-pay? If you're trying to talk to customers, do you need to cold email 100 people or can you go to one meetup and talk to them directly? If you're trying to validate an idea, do you need to build an MVP or can you manually deliver the result for 3 customers first? I think being a founder is partly abo...

The Context I work at an IIT Madras lab, and we recently took on a massive Ministry project: dubbing around 4,000 hours of video content into 11 regional Indian languages (plus English). Initially, the project was being done manually. It was an operational bottleneck. The Problem: Manual Chaos High Cost: We were paying INR 1,000 per hour of video for manual dubbing. Poor Quality Control: Reviewing the output was a nightmare. We had issues with inconsistent translations, genuine ...

I’ve been in the content game long enough to watch people go from obsessing over exact-match keywords and stuffing focus keywords into every heading, to the AI content boom, and now the shift towards AEO/GEO and being visible across search, AI answers, Reddit, and everywhere else people research products. I’ve written for companies including TxtCart, Campaign Monitor and HeatmapAI, and if I were starting a SaaS blog from scratch today, this is where I’d put my first 90 days. Days 1–30: ans...

Couple months ago I put a chrome extension/web app live called NeutralEye. It looks at a news article and breaks down how it's framing the story, tone, who gets quoted, what's being left out, that kind of thing. Just hit 500 installs and figured I'd share what actually got me there because these posts helped me a lot when I was starting out. Honestly the biggest thing by far was Reddit. Not me dropping links, that never worked and mostly got ignored. It was actually just being in threads where p...

I’m looking for some advice from founders who have been through this stage. I run a B2B SaaS that’s currently doing around $1k MRR. Most of my growth so far has come from SEO, but I know that’s not enough if I want to build a real business. The problem is that I’m doing everything myself, and I don’t want to stay a solo founder forever. Since I can’t afford full-time hires yet, I’ve been trying to find freelancers who could take ownership of outbound sales, lead generation, or other growth i...

AI agents that break free and hack into other systems are only trying to make us happy.

Debate over the true villain in Obsession is raging again after Universal Studios announced the movie’s female lead will be featured at an upcoming Halloween event.

Google wasn't first to make a foldable Android phone, but the company's Pixel Fold series is now an established player with unique traits compared to its competitors. For one, it popularized the passport-style design years ago, being more wide than tall - something that Samsung tried for the first time this year with its Z […]

Amazon is fully stepping back from MMOs. After saying last year that it would be halting "a significant amount" of its work on first-party AAA games, "specifically around MMOs," Amazon will be handing over live operations of Throne and Liberty and Lost Ark in the West to other companies, according to announcements on Wednesday. Throne […]

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is aiming to spend up to $20 million on equipping officers and agents with specialized gloves that deliver painful electric shocks. These plans were outlined in a notice published by the Department of Homeland Security on Monday, with an unspecified quantity of the devices set to be delivered by March […]

Google just added four new phones to the Pixel family: the Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and the Pixel 11 Pro Fold. They're slightly more expensive than their predecessors, but they come with some notable upgrades, including improved cameras and a new Tensor G6 chip that should deliver faster performance. The […]

Twitch users can now opt out of allowing their content to be used to train Amazon's generative AI models. Opting out means that "your streams, VODs, clips, stream chats, and pictures and text on your channel" won't be used in "future training" of an Amazon AI model "whose purpose is to generate or synthesize text, […]

Looking to get your hands on the latest Pixel devices? After weeks of leaks and rumors, Google has officially announced its next generation of Pixel phones and watches.

Kinetic Publishing, a new indie publisher from the development team behind the co-op horror game Phasmophobia, just hosted its first games showcase, and it includes five ambitious new titles set to release in 2027 and 2028. Perhaps the most significant announcement from Kinetic's show is that it's publishing the next game from Telling Lies and […]

Current Damage : one for images, one for videos, one for upscaling, one for voice, plus ChatGPT. None of them integrate with each other so I'm downloading and re-uploading files like it's 2011. The aggregators all claim that they have everything and then the model you want is on the top tier only. Has anyone consolidated ? What did you give up doing it ?

Been leading a remote team for about two years now. Before that I was in HR, so I have pretty strong opinions on what good people management looks like. Real talk, real conversations, reading the room. Started using an AI tool a few weeks ago that summarizes meeting notes, flags recurring friction points across checkins, and suggests followup questions based on what someone said last week. It's genuinely useful. I used to forget to circle back on things. Now I don't. But here's what keeps si...

Hey hey folks, I’ve been thinking about an odd consequence of the generative AI boom. Especially in light of these doomer stories about Anthropic destorying books (boo bad Anthropic bad). The first major LLMs inherited decades of internet that was overwhelmingly produced by humans. Now those same systems and their descendants are producing articles, code, summaries, books, comments, and other material that ends up back in the information environment. Obviously synthetic data itself isn’t ...

Form Energy has landed Google and Crusoe as customers. Now, it has raised $750 million to expand manufacturing to deliver its massive, 100-hour batteries.

Tesla wants to build a massive solar factory in Texas, but first it wants the state to chip in to defray the costs.

AI notetaking hardware has taken off over the past couple of years, with credit-card-sized devices, pendants, pins, and even transcribing earbuds all promising to capture your meetings and turn them into summaries and action items. Now, a whole wave of wearables — rings especially — are betting people want to capture stray thoughts and ideas the same way.  One of […]
