With AI now being able to - text like the same human - generate pictures of the same human - generate audio like the same human - listen like a human Is technology able to digitally immortalize our dying loved ones now? _____ A rant about how cool but scary AI is today

$6.4B Indian credit card payment app CRED will probably never make as much money as it raised! - Raised $800m since founding in 2018 - $48m rev with $156m loss in FY22. Spends $4.25 to make $1. - Valued at 133x rev multiple Easy to build brand, hard to build business.

All That Breathes (2022) is a breathtaking documentary and the only Indian film to win awards at Cannes and Sundance! Move over, Bollywood. It depicts the unconventional story of two brothers in Delhi who rescue and heal injured kites (birds), exacerbated by air pollution.

It's not just a idyllic hagiography of two magnanimous heroes, but a picturesque journey into the decaying ecology of Delhi. Despite being encumbered by financial hardship, the two have dedicated their life to a noble yet unlikely cause because they felt compelled to.
