My take: SaaS is dead. Software is charity now, make money elsewhere.
No one can make $$ selling the same features for years anymore.
Instead:
- Use good software to collect user data and sell data.
- Use good software to deliver outcome and sell outcome.
- Arbitrage tokens under the guise of selling software - buy bulk, sell retail.
- Use good software internally to drive your own margin higher for your services/products
- Build RSI agent in a domain that has the fastest learning loop so it has the most, latest expertise: e.g. a marketing agent that knows the latest tricks to get viral in X coz it's doing it for others every day and learn and evolve.
- Give away all your features for free, it's futile anyways. Open source them. Make money elsewhere.
We believe voice is the most natural way to interact with intelligence, so we created Dessa, the most authentic full-duplex speech model ever built. Talking with it feels like talking with a person…full of emotion, nuance, pauses, and a natural cadence.

Alright. Times up let’s go
Replying to @MarathonFusion
In 2025, we published a bold proposal to use fusion reactors for gold production.
And now we’ve done it: Mercury transmuted into stable gold, using fusion neutrons, at 10x the record set by CERN in 2025.
We’ve reduced alchemy to a series of difficult but tractable engineering problems.
When you can't even call out incompetence, feels like incompetent

Insane

He comes from a small village in Kasaragod, Kerala. In 2016, he was selected for IISER Mohali but couldn't afford to make the move. He eventually studied engineering at Government College of Engineering, Kannur.
Last week he released Laya, an open-source AI model that challenged TypeSafe’s Jev on speed and on published decision-making scores.
This is the story of Nandakishor M and how he built Laya.
