One dev left AWS → cut costs **10x**, doubled performance, no lock-in.
Hetzner: 80 cores for <$200/mo vs. AWS $3K+.
Cloud isn’t bad. It’s just overpriced.
Run your own servers. Keep your money.

A student carrying chips in his pocket was flagged by AI as armed.
Police surrounded him at gunpoint outside school.
He was handcuffed and searched.
Now he's scared to return.
As AI surveillance spreads to schools worldwide, are we ready for these consequences?

🚨 LLMs aren't just for chatbots
Google just proved they're discovering new science.
Their Gemma model predicted a novel cancer therapy pathway.
AI is now generating genuinely new solutions, not just analyzing existing data.

This will attract further MNCs to make Vizag the new AI Ecosystem in east-coast India.

We think the news shows us the world as it is, but it mostly shows us the world that shocks.
In 2023, heart disease & cancer caused 56% of U.S. deaths yet got just 7% of media coverage.
Homicides? 43× more coverage than deaths.
Terrorism? 18,000× more

Two major roadblocks for enterprise AI Agent adoption:
1️⃣ Security: Agents must honor data isolation.
2️⃣ Cost: We need to prevent long-running queries from inflating bills.
Guardrails are essential for both.

AI without Observability is like a black box. It will feel like magic initially then you'll be its servant.
AI with Observability is a glass box. There's no magic or unexplainable outcomes. You will be in control.

2. DDLJ (In Maratha Mandir then in Hyderabad on a V-day)
3. Saiyaara

Self hosting is cool. But, if I cumulatively add the monthly cloud charges, it feels terrible.
Now, I need to think of something long term without any kind of recurring bill.
Thinking towards pre-owned hardware. Maybe I should buy a solar panel next to make it sustainable.
