Some 5 weeks back, I read an extended X-post on AI. It is available at https://lnkd.in/eTuit2mg. Since then I have been breathing and living in AI world. Started 6 development projects. Not vibe coding; but meaningful products all with serious product management discipline. I am now subscribed to 3 AI platforms. Just today started a blog to record my life in this space.

A headline in WP: Vance meets with pope as Francis’s Easter message decries ‘logic of fear’.

Recollection from the past: "It is alarming and also nauseating to see Mr Gandhi, [...]t, striding half-naked up the steps of the viceregal palace, [...], to parley on equal terms with the representative of the kingemperor."

Headline: "Victims ‘shocked’ after Biden grants clemency to ‘kids-for-cash’ judge and $54 million embezzler. "

More & more it looks like he wants to burn down the house on the way out. Please stop before there is nothing to salvage of your legacy. Pathetic

News flash: Assad regime falls in Syria

Recalling Galbraith: "All successful revolutions are kicking of a rotten door. The violence of revolutions is the violence of men charging into a vacuum."
