    Nvidia on top of the world, Samsung’s new foldable, and Dorsey’s Bluetooth text app
    2025/07/17
    “Nvidia is doing in AI what Apple did with the iPhone—it’s built an ecosystem that people don’t want to leave.” That’s where we start this week. Nvidia has crossed $4 trillion in market value, overtaking names like Microsoft and Apple. But does that valuation make sense? In this episode, we break down why Nvidia’s chips have become the backbone of modern computing and why some still question how long this lead will last. We also get into Samsung’s latest foldable phones. They’re slimmer than ever, but are they actually useful or just a flashy engineering trick? We unpack whether slimmer really means better and finally, a quick look at Jack Dorsey’s new messaging app that works without the internet.

  • Why Sam Altman wants you to stop blindly trusting ChatGPT plus India's $12 billion budget for advanced R&D and AI-related job cuts

    Why Sam Altman wants you to stop blindly trusting ChatGPT plus India's $12 billion budget for advanced R&D and AI-related job cuts
    2025/07/09
    "You can only become a product nation if you invest in R&D. Otherwise, you stay a service economy.” In today’s episode of Mint Techcetra, we talk about what India’s $12 billion R&D push could actually mean beyond just numbers and press releases. We look at why India’s tech sector has lagged in deep research, what it will take to build serious intellectual property here, and whether this new funding will finally shift the dial. We also get into the growing unease around AI. Sam Altman says people trust ChatGPT too much. But who decides how much trust is too much? Is it on the user, the platform, or the regulators who still haven’t shown up? and finally, we look into Microsoft’s 9,000 job cuts, and ask the harder question: is AI really replacing humans, or is it just a convenient scapegoat for bigger structural shifts? It's a packed episode of policy, people, platforms, and how all three are clashing in real time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • An Indian finally enters the Space Station, as Sam Altman’s World ID hits controversies

    An Indian finally enters the Space Station, as Sam Altman’s World ID hits controversies
    2025/07/03
    If India can rival SpaceX and send a person to the International Space Station, why can’t we have better roads back home?” In today’s episode of Mint Techcetra, we start with Group Captain Shukla’s journey to the International Space Station. The first Indian to do so in over four decades and why this moment goes beyond national pride. It marks a key milestone ahead of the Gaganyaan mission and India’s ambitions to build its own space station by 2035. Then we get into Sam Altman’s World ID, the iris-scanning, crypto-incentivised identity system that’s being pitched as a solution to bots and fake accounts. But here’s the thing: it’s already banned in India and several other countries. Why? Because when you mix biometric scans, private companies, and vague promises about data privacy, things get murky fast. We also talk about the latest round of copyright lawsuits against tech companies. Meta and Anthropic just won theirs but only because, as the judge said, the lawyers arguing against them didn’t get the case right. That doesn’t mean scraping and using copyrighted books is now fair game. So yes, it’s a packed episode. One astronaut, one crypto-powered ID system, and a copyright battle that’s far from over.

  • Tech jobs on the decline, but reusable rockets are on the rise

    Tech jobs on the decline, but reusable rockets are on the rise
    2025/06/26
    "Are we entitled to have our jobs for a lifetime in the AI age?" That’s the question this week’s episode of Techcetra opens with, as Shouvik Das and Leslie D’Monte talks about the growing instability in Big Tech employment. They examine the troubling pattern of layoffs at firms like Microsoft and Google. Is AI genuinely reshaping work, or simply replacing people under the guise of innovation? They explore how job cuts are disproportionately affecting Indian professionals in the U.S., the emotional toll of sudden unemployment, and whether private companies are doing enough to retrain talent instead of replacing it. The episode also rockets literally into another domain of innovation. With Honda testing a reusable rocket, the hosts discuss what this signals in a SpaceX-dominated world, and how India’s own players like Skyroot and Agnikul are pushing frugal innovation in aerospace. While reusability remains a nascent ambition, the bigger question raised is about India's underwhelming R&D budgets even in tech giants like TCS and how that gap might hold back long-term progress in both tech and space.

  • Apple slows down on AI, Android refuses to change, and ChatGPT breaks the internet

    Apple slows down on AI, Android refuses to change, and ChatGPT breaks the internet
    2025/06/22
    In today’s episode of Mint Techcetra, host Shouvik Das is joined by Leslie D’Monte to break down Apple’s WWDC announcements — from its new ‘Liquid Glass’ interface and renamed all its OS platforms to match the calendar year — iOS 26, macOS 26, and so on. But while the stage was set for an AI reveal, the company mostly sidestepped it. Instead, Apple dropped research papers questioning the intelligence of large language models, signaling a slower, more guarded approach to AI. Whether that’s caution or clever branding is still up for debate. ChatGPT crashes for a few hours, the internet loses its mind OpenAI’s flagship tool, ChatGPT, went offline for several hours — and what followed was a small digital meltdown. For something that didn’t exist in the mainstream two years ago, ChatGPT has quietly embedded itself into everything from writing workflows to late-night Googling. The outage didn’t just highlight OpenAI’s growing reach — it raised questions about just how much we've come to rely on AI assistants. Android 16 changes nothing, and maybe that’s the point Google’s Android 16 beta quietly rolled out with almost no visible changes — and that might be by design. The UI stays the same, the upgrades are tucked into accessibility and security layers, and the overall experience remains consistent. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Can you blame the tech company for building a technology that willfully at fault for creating a bot, which performed the way it did? and one that’s becoming harder to answer. As chatbots like Character.AI start mimicking human intimacy (minus the actual feelings), who’s really responsible when things go wrong? The bot? The builder? Or the blurred line between product and service under liability law? In today's episode, we talked about all this and more.
