we will see a mass exodus of tech bros from bangalore. move to mumbai a few weeks back - partly for this exact reason. let me explain. 6-12 months. the rate of AI innovation is going to decimate big corp. every double-digit team gets replaced by a 2 person team running AI-native operations. mass tech unemployment isn't a risk, it's born to happen. i'm not speculating. at upsurge, more than 80% of the coordination, communication and development already runs through our own jarvis - @laukiantonson, our AI agent. we live this today. unless india builds a foundational model that competes globally, the entire tech layer commoditizes. nothing defensible left in it. the next wave of innovation happens around what AI can't make irrelevant - finance, fashion, entertainment. protected by status quo, taste and trust. one city holds all of it. mumbai is the los angeles and the new york of india - entertainment capital and finance capital in one place.

imagine you're creating a new species. far smarter than you, awake 24/7, lives on every digital surface, and soon gets hands through robotics. now explain to me how we plan to control something that's smarter than us. humans are the primordial ancestor here, not the master. there will be countless agents, some of them rogue, and countless ways this goes wrong. how can anyone think we're not doomed? some say it's just the next step in evolution. life moving from carbon to silicon. maybe. but evolution has never asked the previous species how it felt about it. the best case i can see is open source ai. everything out in the open. there will be bad ai and bad players, and there will be good ai and good players to counter them, the same way it played out with nuclear. but make no mistake, it's gonna be a chaotic world.
