... just launched @Dograh , the open-source alternative to Retell and Vapi for building voice agents. Self-hostable, so you own your stack and your data. We started it out of rage - every tool was too expensive, too closed, or scammy (addon after addons). So we open-sourced every line from day 0, on one belief: no company should own voice AI. Big labs are lobbying

... relatives as a bad option because, unless they are serious names in a given niche, they give you nothing besides cash. And ruining relationships with relatives is a nightmare to me. On top of that, can they lobby for you at a national or global level? Can they connect you with key players in the niche? A bank is basically the same as relatives. It gives you the cash, but it has absolutely no interest in your business. It only ... ... payments on time. So to me, it is a bad partner. It is a cheap way to get money, but an expensive way to get connections. VCs are a good bridge. They have both connections and money. They can lobby

Comment from Mike Kerzhner(@mikekerzhner): @ankit_mishra15  sorry to hear about the frustration. What is your recommendation for distinguishing paid voters vs

... much, but if we give it too much power, it can "think" beyond and rationalise our uselessness of existence. And that's dangerous. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @ritik_ranjan  I think that companies will be lobbying for themselves in gov organisations (because of profit)... but we can do the same and create some pressure (as the society). Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @nevil_ling  a completely unnecessary death Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @sanskarix ... ... then that while we expect AI to eventually pose a danger, what if this is our collective delusion? Comment from Ritik Ranjan(@ritik_ranjan): @busmark_w_nika   You re right, companies will always prioritize their own interests when lobbying

But what if a few select individuals (CEOs of tech giants we know who we mean) become highly politically biased and actively engaged? Especially when their companies are media-driven and have the power to influence public opinion on a massive scale? If a tech company owns media platforms, should ...

How did you ultimately narrow down on building PhotoAI/InteriorAI vs the many other AI types of tools you could have built?

Ideally people under 35-40 that actually understand ... ... natural cause of things. Does it need saving? It depends on how we define from what.
