full meltdown
Hello everyone. Happy Diwali!
Thank you for your criticism, your support and your time over the last two days. Gives me much needed clarity on what we need to explain better:
1. Temple is not made for India. It’s made for the world. Please check pricing. We don’t expect any more than 1% of Temples being sold in India.
2. If you are upset that the pricing is too high, I am sorry. There’s a lot of work that went into Temple, and we priced it at what we think it’s worth. If you think its overpriced, you can wait for user reviews to decide if its worth your money.
3. Please do not support us because we are an Indian startup. We want to compete globally. We don’t need/want nationalist support. Support us if you want to support early innovation, which could help you live a better life, and will continue to add more proof to its science over the years.
4. There are different audiences which buy products at various levels of proof. Proof goes from whitepaper -> pre-print -> peer reviewed. You are free to sit on the fence until peer reviewed proof arrives. You are free to not believe it even then. Nobody is forcing you to buy. Making announcements is our right; and if we overclaim anywhere, we will inevitably fall into regulatory trouble everywhere in the world.
5. We didn’t make any medical claim. Doctors primarily see things from a medical lens, so they see every claim as a medical claim. I repeat – Temple is strictly a fitness + AI device, and we've made no medical claims. Temple is not proven to diagnose or prevent any disease. It doesn't do anything which replaces the need for you to see a doctor.
6. The main point of Temple is NOT Brain Flow. That’s what we just started Temple for, and studies on Brain Flow are the first ones getting out.
7. The main point of Temple is Entropy (I shared the HomeScreen of Temple three months ago with Entropy as the main thing). Our emails to our waitlisted users only talk about Entropy. We haven’t published anything on Entropy yet. We will. If you want to buy Temple before that, please do. If you don’t want to, don’t.
8. Roomdeaf AI is an expansion of the device’s capabilities, and our vision for Temple. It is not a pivot.
9. Social media is not the regulator for Temple. Wherever we need regulatory clearances, we will have them before we make any claim needing them.
10. I will post a detailed note on how we calculate Brain Flow, its uses, and most importantly, its limitations in a bit (tomorrow).

Compete with China' never seems to mean 31,000 miles of high-speed rail or hundreds of miles of new subway a year. Just data centers and deregulation.

He thinks that shitty ass truck is gonna appreciate because of scarcity
The Cybertruck is getting discontinued after 3 short years and less than 100,000 sales! I paid $110,873 all cash for mine two years ago.
It is still the biggest financial transaction of my life.
I understand why it’s getting discontinued. In order of importance:
- Elon lied to use about range
He offered a range extender package to boost the range from 300 miles to 500 miles for $16,000. I put the deposit on that and then it was abruptly canceled and refunded. This gave me intense buyers remorse
- the cybertruck became a symbol of right wing politics
Driving a cybertruck in SF caused me to get flipped off by so many people on a near-daily basis. Sometimes people would scream at me and tell me I’m a terrible human being.
- they optimized for speed over convenience
I couldn’t use my truck to tow my stuff from SF to Las Vegas in January because charging the cybertruck requires you to unhitch the tow which is insanely cumbersome. On top of that, towing reduces the range from 300 miles to 150 miles! It’s cool it can go 0 to 60 in less than 3 seconds but that’s a fun gimmick more than something that seriously impacts my life.
Do I regret buying my super fast dumpster? Absolutely not. It changed my perspective on the world.
Now I own a 2024 foundation model Cyberbeast which they only made ~10,000 of total. So my truck will probably appreciate in value as Tesla becomes more successful.
It’s also DataExpert.io’s company vehicle so it saved me ~$35,000 on my taxes when I bought it in 2024. So it’s a $75,000 speedy dumpster not a $110,000 speedy dumpster.
It has been a very strange journey with the Cybertruck!

I’m willing to sell my iPhone Duo 256 GB black variant with AppleCare, which I bought just last week.
I liked it in the beginning, but now I don’t use it for even 30 mins a day. It’s just kept on desk the whole day.
My main iPhone 18 Pro is much better and practical. Price is ₹4.2 lakhs. No bargain. DM me if interested.

Anpadh and gawar Indian twitter is so ragebait coded. Suddenly everyone's asking to give a chance to Non-FDA approved pseudoscience which has no trials done so that a businessman who has invested so much money doesn't lose it and his innovation!! Waah?!!Imma leave X or I get mad.

Cybertrucks fell victim to being:
- pathetically designed
- assembled by unskilled labor
- an on-road embarrassment that gets flipped-off daily
- an off-road embarrassment that fails every time it’s subjected to market expectations

Six Steps of an Indian Entrepreneur
Step 1 :- Create a mediocre product built on existing technology using second rate suppliers with MINIMAL EFFORT or R&D
Step 2:- Spend 80% of the money raised on promotions by hiring celebrities, influencers and market the product as a Game changer
Step 3:- Play the "INDIAN CARD", claim how anyone who criticizes you doesn't want India to get ahead
Step 4:- Play the " WHITE MAN CARD", pay some established white dude on his way out of the door, to endorse your product and claim "The Gora likes my product"
Step 5:- Convince the Average Indian Dimwit using a combination of four words "Lakh Crore", " EBITDA", "Pioneer" & "CAGR"
Step 6:- Play the HINDU card now...use some combo of Ram, Jai, Shree, Krishna and claim to demonstrate pride in Hinduism , proving your critics are Anti Hindu
Step 7:- Burn Cash, get the product listed in the market at a valuation of several lakh crore, then buy a Bungalow in Colaba and Lutyens Delhi while your investors ultimately are left holding the bag
Same formula used to list a Food delivery app and a toilet cleaning app for lakhs of crores of rupees
Ultimately it is less innovation and more of slick snake oil sales

BYD does this. Elon Musk does rigged stunts. Tesla would be over if BYD could sell in the US.
speeding up past 300km/h
speeding up past 400km/h
topping 500km/h
