Reminder: Be your own biggest cheerleader
This newsletter is a reality check/wake up call/arousing reminder that things can go good and bad without any indication. Which is why, this is one more reminder that you should be your own cheerleader.
Bryan Johnson’s Sobering Wake Up Call
After attending Nikhil’s Kamath’s Podcast for quite a while, Bryan Johnson, famous millionaire and life extending extraordinaire walked out of the podcast as he claimed the AQI of the room was too high. While trolled initially, this has definitely opened up a larger conversation about the AQI of India.
The Beer Biceps Debacle
Is it a cover up? Is it being blown out of proportion? Is this twisted karma?
We do not know. We are Barely Opinionated. While it is tough to see a creator being dragged through the rakes, what we do welcome is the Social Media regulation that is being brought up. Up until now, traditional media was given respect for adhering to regulations. Being an independent new age media company, we welcome the scrutiny.
The Gold Trump Card (pun intended)
If you have $5M to spare, Donald Trump definitely wants to talk. What is the taxation policy? Is this a green card substitute? Is this a way to drive more business? Seems like a whole lot of questions that will be answered by D.O.G.E. soon.
AI Journalism; New Age Media
Fresh out of the world of AI, many pages and companies are beginning to use AI avatars. People like Varun and Achina Mayya and Avani from odd.mktg use AI Avatars to streamline the amount of content they post and reduce production time.
What does this mean for journalists and video anchors? Gone are the days you will have to spend hours and hours in front of a camera and crew to dictate news. Now AI can do it. Your face and voice value has just gone quite up.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has had a sit down with Elon Musk
While we do not know what the conversation was between PM Modi and Elon Musk we cannot help but draw patterns that Tesla is making a solid entry into India. What we are more excited is for the job opportunities this is going to open up along with a possible addition to the many offices in Bengaluru.
