Kamakoti, Director of IIT Madras and a member of the National Security Advisory Board, highlighted a potential vulnerability in Telegram that could have serious implications. Using a live example, he showed how a PDF file sent at 3:39 PM could later be replaced with an entirely different document while retaining the original timestamp. Prof. Kamakoti stressed that he was deliberately withholding the exact method to prevent misuse, calling it an act of responsible disclosure. He cautioned users against treating Telegram messages as foolproof digital evidence and warned students and the public against being misled by manipulated "paper leak" claims circulating online. "Please be very careful," he said. Credit : btTV

Before India talked about “deep tech,” IIT Madras was already building it. At a recent IIT Madras event, Tarun Mehta of Ather Energy heard a staggering stat: 115 startups incubated last year — almost all in deep tech, hardware, or AI. But this culture didn’t appear overnight. Back in 2007, a group of alumni created the CFI — Center for Innovation — a massive lab filled with tools, equipment, and total creative freedom. Weekends suddenly meant: “What are you doing?” “I’m in CFI, building something.” By 2009, directors began modelling the research culture on Stanford. More dominoes fell: a junior started attempting startups at scale, and the Engineering Design department became a quiet catalyst — with nearly two-thirds of students attempting a startup at some point. What emerged was a generational shift: not just an institute that taught engineering, but an institute that built entrepreneurs, deep-tech products, and a culture of doing. In S4 of The Blume Podcast, Karthik interviews Tarun and dives into how IIT Madras became the birthplace of some of India’s most ambitious hardware and AI companies — including Ather. 🎧 Watch the full episode now — a story of culture, community, and creation: Karthik Reddy Ashish Fafadia Sajith Pai Sanjay Nath Arpit Agarwal Ria Shroff Desai sarita raichura Alok Mehta Mitul Mehta Rohit Kaul Deepika Gautham S Elton Ray Coelho Vikram Gawande

In the Platinum Jubilee Year of IIT Kharagpur, we proudly celebrate a defining moment as our distinguished alumnus, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, addressed the India AI Impact Summit 2026. Opening his remarks with a personal reflection, he shared, “Every time I visit, I’m struck by the pace of change, and today is no different. Back when I was a student, I often took the Coromandel Express from Chennai up to IIT Kharagpur. To get there, we passed through Visakhapatnam.” From his humble journey as a student to unveiling a transformative vision for India’s technological future, this trajectory stands as a powerful testament to purpose, perseverance, and global leadership. At the summit, Sundar Pichai announced Google’s plan to establish a full-stack AI hub in Visakhapatnam as part of a $15 billion infrastructure investment in India—further positioning the nation at the forefront of the global AI movement. He underscored that AI will undeniably reshape the workforce, automating certain roles, evolving others, and creating entirely new careers. He also highlighted breakthroughs such as AlphaFold by Google DeepMind, which compressed decades of protein-structure research into a publicly available database now used by millions of researchers worldwide, demonstrating how AI can accelerate scientific discovery at an unprecedented scale. As an institution that rose from the historic Hijli Detention Camp to become India’s first IIT, IIT Kharagpur embodies resilience, vision, and nation-building. In this landmark 75th year, we take immense pride in seeing our alumni shaping global technology, driving innovation, and contributing to India’s leadership in the AI era.

Nat Eliason’s (Nat Eliason) career arc is borderline absurd—but it works. He’ll spot a new tool or trend, master it, build a business around it, and move on. Nat’s pulled it off with the note-taking wave ($600k in sales from a Roam Research course), real estate (6x return flipping property in Austin), and crypto (published his insider story with Random House). Now it’s AI: he’s running a viral course on building apps with AI—$200k in pre-sales in just a week, 800 students and counting. I’ve known Nat for a long time and I think he has a great sense for where the puck is headed. He was one of the first guests I had on the podcast and I was delighted to have him on again. Here are a few takeaways from our conversation: - Coding with AI has become orders of magnitude easier for non-technical people over the last 2 years—Nat rarely has to help students fix bugs; they troubleshoot in Cursor on their own. - AI coding assistants are creating new behaviours in programming, like using a speech-to-text model to talk to an agent and having it write code for you. - The traditional learning curve of coding is flattening because AI tools let beginners build and iterate in faster feedback loops. - AI has given Nat leverage in spades—it increases his ability to be a creator while also building a robust business with as few people to manage as possible. He demos an AI book editor he coded for his sci-fi novel. - In the age of AI, software is becoming content and the barriers to create are lower than ever—but custom software for everything isn’t the answer. Nat’s model is that personalized tools make sense for that one thing you care the most about. - Nat believes that the future of writing with AI is a Cursor-style interface with a model that’s trained on your style and voice. This episode is a must-watch for writers, creators, and anyone interested in the future of product building. Watch below! Timestamps: Introduction: 00:01:45 The origins of Nat’s viral course on building apps with AI: 00:11:45 How coding with AI has evolved over the last two years: 00:18:46 Nat creates an app using Composer, Cursor’s AI assistant: 00:22:22 Tactical tips for coding with Cursor: 00:26:06 How coding with AI is creating new behaviours in programming: 00:29:06 What excites Nat the most about the future of AI: 00:32:41 A demo of Hubbard, the AI editor Nat built for his science fiction writing: 00:38:58 When does it makes sense to build custom software: 00:44:52 Nat’s take on the future of writing with AI: 00:49:18

#AMessageToPresidentEDMnangagwa This is what Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa really needs to hear, not what his self-serving close political allies and hangers-on are telling him for self-interest - that he is the only one who can run the country and needs to stay on to complete his Vision 2030. That is misleading and unhelpful. It's an authoritarian mindset, not a democratic perspective on how a country is run. Development visions, which are long-term, strategic goals aimed at creating a desired future for a nation, can't be tied down to one person and be completed in one or two terms; they are not an event, but a process which needs to be continued beyond a leader and his limited tenure. In a landmark 2015 speech at the African Union headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, former United President Barack Obama strongly urged African leaders to respect term limits and step down, declaring that "nobody should be president for life". He argued that changing rules to stay in power risks instability and hinders democratic progress. Key points from Obama's address on African term limits: Respect for constitutions: Obama stated that leaders who change rules to stay in office, citing examples like Burundi, risk instability and conflict. "President for Life" Criticism: He criticised leaders who refuse to step aside, noting his confusion as to why they cling to power. Personal Example: He highlighted that despite enjoying his job and believing he could win a third term, he would abide by the US constitution's two-term limit, stating, "the law's the law". Call to Action: He urged the AU to uphold democratic principles and encouraged leaders to focus on building their nations rather than maintaining personal power. Obama's remarks were aimed at promoting democratic, peaceful transfers of power across the continent, emphasising that true leadership involves allowing new leaders to emerge.

He skipped placements at IIT Madras for 2 consecutive days. On the third day, he took a flight back to Mangalore just to avoid being forced by his family to attend placements. His desire to build an aircraft company was so intense that it made him act irrationally in front of his family. He then started building his aircraft company from Bengaluru. When he had barely Rs 20,000 in hand, he still hired an intern, promising a stipend of Rs 7,000. On one of the days when he could not make it back to his PG on time, he spent the night at the Majestic bus stand. All of this at the age of 23! That is the story of Shreepoorna S Rao, founder of Arctus Aerospace, a company building unmanned aerial vehicles that can fly up to 45,000 feet and capture imagery for a wide range of use cases.

He had had successes in using military power in Venezuela and in various countries in the Middle East, including the airstrikes against Iran last year. And he wanted to go down in history as the American president who had the guts to do what none of his predecessors would do: topple the Islamic Republic. It didn't work. That war went sideways. And Donald Trump is now figuring out how to get an off-ramp and end a war that has caused huge disruption to the global economy and skyrocketing oil prices and food prices here in the United States.' —Prof. Charles Kupchan, Director of European Affairs at the US National Security Council under Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton, on the latest episode of New Order.

𝐏𝐎𝐓𝐒 𝐌𝐎𝐍𝐄𝐘 𝐄𝐂𝐎𝐒𝐘𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐌 𝐄𝐗𝐏𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐍𝐄𝐃. Gm fam, earlier yesterday, I had an interesting podcast-style conversation with a friend who became curious about POT Money after constantly seeing people talk about POT across the space. Instead of just giving surface-level answers, we had a deeper discussion about the ecosystem, what they are building, and why more users are beginning to pay attention to the platform. He asked some good questions on the vision, usability and long-term value of POT Money and I was able to break it all down for him clearly. The conversation became so insightful that I even went further to create a quick tutorial video showing him how to explore and use the platform himself. One thing I personally find interesting is that POT Money appears focuses on building more than temporary hype. The ecosystem seems centered around long-term participation, utility, and creating an environment users can consistently engage with. And honestly, that kind of direction is becoming rare in today’s market. Full conversation and walkthrough in the video below 👇 Follow POTS MONEY and POTS MARKET for additional information!

Input: Jane Jacobs quotes and YouTube interview; handwritten outline; education standards doc. Output: high-quality, standards-aligned urban planning lesson plan. Plus audio overview to promote the class. 10 minutes to create, all thanks to NotebookLM and Gemini. This video is a new demo of NotebookLM that I shared earlier this month at the AI + Education Symposium with MeshEd, XQ, and Betaworks. This is an educational use-case, but the general structure of what I’m doing in the demo—take a curated collection of sources and quickly transform them into a detailed document that obeys strict guidelines—is generally applicable to many fields. Note how I am not just using the sources as ground truth for the project, or as the content for the lesson plan. The Jacobs quotes and interview are the content, but my handwritten notes provide the structure, and the framework source provides the values or guidelines for the finished project. With some simple prompting, NotebookLM and Gemini can draw on information from the sources using those different modes simultaneously: content, format, values. (I even forgot to explicitly tell the model to use the structure outlined in my notes, but it figured that out anyway.) This is remarkably sophisticated knowledge work. Building a draft lesson plan like this would normally take hours if not days. But crucially I’m in control of the document that is being generated here — it’s based on the information that I have curated, and on the instructions I’ve given NotebookLM for adapting that information into the lesson plan I want to create. Co-intelligence, as @ethanmollick would call it. For more info on the great organizations that helped me put this demo together--orgs that are shaping the future of learning and increasing access to innovative approaches to curriculum design--visit and I’ve pasted the full text of the lesson plan below. As you can see in the video, the original version also included citations to the source material so with one click I could verify that NotebookLM was faithful to the original documents I uploaded. High-Level Lesson Plan: Urban Planning and Jane Jacobs This lesson plan outlines a project-based learning course on urban planning, designed for high school seniors. It centers on the influential ideas of Jane Jacobs and aligns with the HQPBL standards. Session 1: Introduction to Cities and Jane Jacobs • Begin by exploring the question: "What kind of problem is a city?" • Introduce Jane Jacobs' key ideas about urbanism, focusing on: • The importance of diversity in uses, buildings, and populations for vibrant city life. • The role of sidewalks and "eyes on the street" in ensuring safety and fostering a sense of community. • The value of old buildings in supporting diverse economic activity and fostering innovation. • The dangers of "single-use" zoning and the importance of mixed-use neighborhoods. • The limitations of top-down planning and the need for bottom-up, community-driven approaches. Use examples from Jacobs' book, "The Death and Life of Great American Cities," and excerpts from her interviews to illustrate these concepts. Encourage students to think critically about the challenges and opportunities presented by cities. Alignment with HQPBL: This session establishes the intellectual challenge, as required by the HQPBL framework, by prompting students to consider the complexities of cities. Introducing Jane Jacobs' ideas provides students with a theoretical framework for their projects. Session 2: Neighborhood Exploration Project Introduction: Students choose a local neighborhood to study. This allows for authenticity by connecting their learning to their own community and their lives. Research and Analysis: Students conduct a "close reading" of their chosen neighborhood, focusing on: • Observing the built environment, including streetscapes, building types, and public spaces. • Identifying areas where Jacobs' principles are evident or lacking. • Analyzing the neighborhood's strengths and weaknesses. • Documenting their findings through photography, sketches, maps, and written observations. Guiding Questions: Throughout the project, use guiding questions to promote intellectual challenge and help students connect their observations to Jacobs' ideas. Alignment with HQPBL: By choosing a local neighborhood, students undertake a project rooted in authenticity, directly connecting their learning to their own community. The "close reading" of their chosen neighborhood encourages intellectual challenge by requiring them to analyze the built environment and identify areas where Jacobs' principles are applicable. The use of photography, sketches, maps, and written observations allows for diverse forms of documentation, catering to various learning styles. Session 3: Proposing Interventions Brainstorming Solutions: Based on their analysis, students brainstorm potential interventions or improvements to their chosen neighborhood, applying Jacobs' principles. Project Proposal Development: Students develop their interventions into more concrete project proposals, incorporating elements of project management. Proposals should include goals, strategies, potential challenges, and realistic timelines. Encourage students to consider the perspectives of different stakeholders in the neighborhood. Peer Review and Feedback: Students present their project proposals to classmates for critique. This fosters collaboration and allows students to learn from each other's perspectives and refine their ideas. Alignment with HQPBL: This session emphasizes project management, as students transform their analyses into concrete proposals. They define goals, outline strategies, anticipate challenges, and establish realistic timelines, reflecting a systematic approach to project development. Collaboration is fostered through peer review and feedback, enabling students to learn from different perspectives and improve their proposals. Session 4: Final Presentations and Reflections Public Product: Students finalize their projects and present their proposed solutions to a wider audience, such as: • A panel of local urban planners, architects, or community members. • A public forum or community meeting. • An online platform or exhibition space. Reflection: Students engage in reflection throughout the project, documenting their learning, challenges, and insights. This could take the form of journals, blog posts, presentations, or group discussions. Encourage students to reflect on how their understanding of cities has evolved and the role they can play in shaping their future. Alignment with HQPBL: Presenting to a wider audience, such as local planners or community members, results in a public product, showcasing student learning and engaging the community. The emphasis on reflection throughout the project, as mandated by the HQPBL framework, encourages metacognition and deeper learning. Students document their learning process, challenges, and insights, fostering a sense of accomplishment and personal growth. Throughout the course, emphasize the relevance of urban planning to students' lives and future careers. Connect Jacobs' ideas to contemporary urban issues and encourage students to think critically about how to create more livable, equitable, and sustainable cities. This project-based learning approach, grounded in the work of Jane Jacobs and aligned with HQPBL standards, can empower students to become engaged and informed citizens, capable of contributing to the betterment of their communities.

Bill Ackman manages 25 billion dollars and just said the thing every long-term investor is most afraid of out loud. The risk of two people in a garage destroying your company has gone up enormously, and he spends most of his time on that one problem. That should change how you look at every business you own. His logic is simple. This is the greatest era in history to build a company. There is unlimited access to compute. There is unlimited access to capital. There is incredible talent everywhere. Most people hear that and feel optimistic. Ackman hears it and sees a threat. Because every one of those advantages is available to the people trying to kill your company too. The same tools that make it easy to build make it easy to disrupt. His exact words: the probability of your being disrupted has gone up enormously. So the hardest job he has as an investor is not finding cheap stocks. It is figuring out what cannot be destroyed. That is where he spends most of his time now. Not on upside. On survival. Everyone is asking which companies AI will make. Ackman is asking which ones it will break. The cheapest stock in the world means nothing if two people in a garage are already building the thing that ends it. WATCH THE FULL PODCAST ON The All-In Podcast
