Last Notes npub1g87xmf27gdw7tj3h375plysl4068fd5lcvlyl8dljpskzxg6n5ts956564 ss_croaker While many have questioned Anil Kapoor's inclusion in TIME's 100 AI cover, his court victory over unauthorized AI use of his likeness and iconic catchphrase “jhakaas” paves the way for much-needed AI regulations. With deepfake videos and AI-generated content spreading rapidly, the risks of manipulation and exploitation have become undeniable. AI’s growing ability to mimic voices, images, and personas without consent is a serious threat—not only to celebrities but to society at large. Strong regulations are essential to protect individuals from these digital violations and ensure the responsible use of AI technology. As AI continues to advance, it’s no longer just an entertainment industry issue. We’ve seen AI-generated content used during political events, raising alarms about misinformation and its potential influence. Without a clear legal framework, these technologies will only become more invasive and harder to regulate. Anil Kapoor’s case underscores the need for governments to act quickly and set standards that protect privacy, identity, and intellectual property. AI innovation should not come at the cost of ethical responsibility, and comprehensive regulations are the key to maintaining that balance. https://image.nostr.build/fe38f124fab355f4b0b3682aa53def56988d9be1987e443b62f12e158671149d.jpg npub1g87xmf27gdw7tj3h375plysl4068fd5lcvlyl8dljpskzxg6n5ts956564 ss_croaker What even is this metric of pre-PDT (product and tech)? OLX India reported a profit of INR 23 Cr pre-PDT costs, “annualised” as of July 2023. A “profitable” OLX India with a net revenue of INR 285 Cr get acquired for 535.54 Cr (less than 2x revenue multiple). Apparently income from export services billed by OLX India to it Amsterdam-based holding entity OLX BV made roughly 55% of its income in FY 2021. This looks like a win-win for both CarTrade which is trading at 1/3rd of its listing price and Netherland based Prosus (owned 99% of OLX) which was looking to divest from loss making OLX Auto.

But the existing FMCG players are interested in the tech capabilities and customer database of these D2C brands and end up shelling 4-7x of revenue during the acquisition. It’s a win-win for both D2C as well as FMCG. D2C founders end up making more money than the CEOs of these FMCG companies make in a lifetime, and FMCG companies have the trendy products in their portfolio.

New office liquor policy in Gurgaon (Haryana) means employees can go to the office and start their day with a can of cold beer and end it with a sip of wine while attending the meetings that could have been an email. For those who are unaware of Mad Men, it's a TV show set in the fast-paced world of an advertising agency which vividly portrays the 1960s office drinking culture, where characters frequently engaged in daytime alcohol consumption often as a tool for socializing, networking, and coping with stress. But sadly this new policy is only for corporates with 5000+ employees and 1 lakh-square feet office area with a 2000 square feet cafeteria. If (hoping when) it includes smaller offices, then Gurgaon would definitely win the startup battle against Bangalore.

First these 2 wheeler EV makers did not comply with FAME II localisation norms—mandating at least 50% of their components in the EVs be indigenously manufactured or locally sourced, because they weren’t able to source local materials. This must have been clear to them at the manufacturing stage. Then they passed on the subsidy to customers for sales numbers. Now after the government asked these EV makers for their share and delisted them from NAB portal, they are requesting them to reinlist without paying the government since somehow it’s unfair to damage a company’s future business because of past wrongdoings. And what about the subsidy that is passed on to the customers? Apparently they can be asked to return the subsidy amount. And for this EV makers are willing to share customer data.

Aren’t wallet fees more than exchange fees? Do I have to transfer crypto from exchange to wallet? npub1g87xmf27gdw7tj3h375plysl4068fd5lcvlyl8dljpskzxg6n5ts956564 ss_croaker Makes sense. But governments around the world block access to online content for a variety of reasons: to shield children from obscene content, to prevent access to copyright-infringing material or confusingly named domains, or to protect national security. Can these and probably others factors be used to block access to Nostr? npub1g87xmf27gdw7tj3h375plysl4068fd5lcvlyl8dljpskzxg6n5ts956564 ss_croaker Can someone explain how do I get on the lightening network?
