We instituted an official AI Writing Policy at @Clay. Massive thanks to @sophiebits on our engineering team who wrote this. Originally this was just for eng, but other teams found it so helpful we expanded it company-wide. Here are the four guiding principles: 1. You must stand behind every idea and sentence It is your responsibility to make sure that the entire document is representative of your own thoughts before you share it. 2. Writing is thinking Spending time on the writing process teaches you more about your topic. If you circumvent this process, you will walk away with a poorer understanding of the subject matter. 3. More time should be spent writing a document than consuming it If you generate a document from a short prompt then ask your readers to go through the longer output, you are disrespecting their time. They can talk to ChatGPT themselves if they want to. 4. Longer is not better AI makes it easy to generate long docs, and it loves padding them with sentences that say nothing. If you're producing docs from a short prompt, consider just sharing the prompt. You can read (and borrow) the full policy below. Hopefully we all communicate a bit more clearly now :)

I have bookmarked this tweet on China's overlapping tech-indistrial ecosystems. We must study China closely. There is a lot to learn from their experience which I categorise into two distinct phases. 1. At the entry level, India must make its own household goods (all the stuff we buy in local stores in small towns), and spread those small and mid-sized factories to every district of India. It is not that hard and it can work out cheaper to make and sell *locally* than to import from far away. To reach higher in the value chain, we need phase 2. 2. To scale the value chain, we need a strong strategic industrial R&D focus in essentially all areas of tech. China started with Phase 1 over 40 years ago and now has mastered Phase 2 in the past 10-15 years. Even if global markets are not so favorable to export driven growth anymore, India's domestic market can power our own growth and job creation. That is far more balanced growth anyway. Let's learn from China and adapt the ideas to India.

🎙️ NEW EPISODE: WHY INDIA NEEDS 10x INNOVATION TO BEAT CHINA 🎙️ In conversation with @swamicrm, Prof. Rohit Srivastava @iitbombay shares his vision of transforming India through a 10X innovation mindset, prioritizing patents over papers, and building product-focused ecosystems that turn academic research into market solutions. Prof. Rohit Srivastava discussed the importance of India moving from a Lab-to-market mindset and creating an Ecosystem of Innovation Builders.
