For years, big tech companies have pushed the idea that AI should live in massive cloud data centers, working like a public utility that everyone must connect to. But this model has clear downsides: it’s expensive to run, slower because of internet delays, and raises serious privacy concerns. That’s why the idea of running AI directly on personal devices is gaining attention. When AI works locally, it can feel faster, cost less over time, and keep user data where it belongs — on the device 🔒 Apple is often seen as being late to the AI race, especially when compared to companies releasing powerful chatbots and cloud-based models. However, the path Apple has chosen could still help it win in the long run. Instead of chasing attention with flashy features, Apple focused on building powerful chips where the CPU, GPU, and Neural Engine share the same memory, making on-device AI more efficient ⚡ By placing this technology inside millions of iPhones, iPads, and Macs, Apple is positioning its...

Memories creates thoughts- The response of the past Thoughts creates the thinker- To give itself a sense of permanence and security The thinker is the self- A bundle of memories, hurts and conditioning Therefore, the self is an illusion- It is just a movement of thought. True perception happens only when this movement of thought is quite, allowing the brain to react directly to the present moment without the filter of the past.

After watching Cory Doctorow’s commentary on Al Jazeera English about the AI “hype machine,” I found myself both nodding along and feeling uneasy about how accurately he describes the current tech landscape. His argument isn’t that AI has no value, but that the way it’s being sold to us—by corporations, investors, and tech bosses—is deeply misleading and potentially dangerous. What struck me most was his idea that companies aren’t excited about AI because it will make life more creative or meaningful, but because they see it as a way to “zero out” labor costs. That framing cuts through a lot of the glossy marketing we see every day. We’re told AI will boost productivity and unlock innovation, but Doctorow suggests the real motivation is power: replacing workers, weakening labor, and increasing control. The “boss fantasy” he describes—a workplace with no workers, just one boss and a machine—feels uncomfortably believable. I also appreciated his comparison between the AI boom and past ...

I’m pretty excited that I’ve finally started this blog. I have no idea what I’m going to write about yet. But I’ll probably share the things I feel are worth sharing.  I purchased my domain from GoDaddy for ₹1,500, but I’m not happy with the pricing. I’ll likely move it to Zoho Domains, which costs around ₹1,000 per year. Initially, I thought of hosting this website on Substack because its new/shiny and also allows podcast hosting. However, to use a custom domain on Substack, there is a one-time fee of ₹4,000, which I couldn’t afford at the time. So, I chose this platform instead, since it is free.
