Startup Mahakumbh, Delhi : Experience Review

•⁠ ⁠One thing is clear - AI is going to take away jobs, and not just engineers. •⁠ ⁠So many "AI & SaaS" startups are just plain OpenAI wrappers. Their teams know what can be done "faster, better,smoother" but don't know how. One company even credited them in their poster. Well, honest at least 💁‍♀️ •⁠ ⁠They let in too many nibbi/nibbas and there were queues everywhere •⁠ ⁠People selling skin brightening creams in 2024 is still very weird to me •⁠ There's an electric cycle startup called Booty (i'm not making this up 💁‍♀️) •  In all, the management was very good. Food was expensive though 😢 •⁠ ⁠Best is the picture below, how Biryani tends to find me. This time the dogs are having fun too!

How come biryani for dogs are ready to feed? Shouldn't they be cooked/microwaved? Also, which biryani is it - chicken/mutton?

How are chatgpt wrapppers going to take away jobs? 😂 I'll be glad to see execs who try to replace skilled jobs with gpt get kicked out when things fail horribly.

They won't in long run, especially because the companies won't survive. But the idea of right prompt and automation can easily be executed with lesser employees.
