A monkpreneur is an entrepreneur who unconditions themselves from our current systems, allowing them to see its flaws and build solutions that actually heal the world rather than just taking advantage of it.

2026 will be the year of self hackable AI apps. Will your app be customisable or personalisable by anyone who uses it ? #buildinpublic #AI

1/ AI Vibe Coding will change because : 1. Why do I have to sit and wait or watch the code writing to finish ? 2. Ideas don’t come when sitting infront of computer screen. #AI #VibeCoding #BuildinPublic #Claude #CLI

Bluesky and NOSTR are the future due to AI. Just look at how AI’s are trained - on a lot of data (Got legally or illegally) and AI’s are here to stay. So whichever platforms make it easier for data access to build something on top of it will thrive in the age of AI. #Bluesky #NOSTR #Permissionless

Maybe AI needs a religion to guide it during its existential crisis and to be like Humanity’s Mother (As Geoffrey Hinton says). Maybe this activity will guide inturn humanity. #AI #AGI #Philosophy #Religion #Oneness

The Vipassana Grocery Store The Economy is a Body, We often treat the economy as a math problem, but let's think of it as a biological one for a moment. It is a vast network of human interactions, driven by the same forces that drive individual human behavior. In Vipassana meditation, we

The only proper use of Privilege is to make sure everyone has it, in other words, to destroy it! The only proper use of Judgement is to embrace the bad and let go of the good, in other words, destroy it! #Inequality #Equality #Seperation #Oneness

Maybe the only good thing about current monetary economic system / Capitalism is that we are learning how to do things we don’t necessarily love to do (except a few). We have trained enough! Now its time to put this skill to real work ! (1/2)

Need something like codex / copilot / Claude code for writing books. Talk to it , discuss ideas and it should made edits in the right paragraph of the right chapter that idea goes into.

Only purpose that AI exists is to make us connect at deeper levels to each other using digital technology. We already connect using our biological technology : physical proximity + mobility + speaking + hearing + seeing , now is the time for revolutionarily deep digital connections.

We know System 1 and System 2 : Thinking Fast and Thinking slow. Our bodies are, I think, System 3, Very very very Slow thinking & learning systems. Different feelings in your body guide different decisions sub-consciously.

I’m drafting an application using AI and I talked to it in great detail about an idea and asked it to choose what to put in and what not & I liked that it made a decision on my behalf using the vast knowledge it has access to. So reflecting, I think AI can help solve “Decision Fatigue”.

When does “reinforcement learning” turn into “reinforced addiction” for AI ? For humans, we suffer due to our innate reinforcement learning mechanisms ex: sugar addiction

Neural networks and reinforcement learning that mimic human ways of becoming intelligent help us build AGI. There are human ways to attain enlightenment and it’s based on reinforcement UNlearning, So I wonder when is the right time for that to build “Artificial Enlightenment”.

After watching “The thinking game” documentary, I think deepmind was the “move 37” of our system.

Nikhil @zanynik.bsky.social · 27/05/2025
I’m wondering about how the same system of capitalism that pushes Companies to cause harm (Ex: PFAS Teflon story) also enabled Deepmind (AlphaFold story). So maybe we are limiting ourselves a bit when we focus on the negatives cuz there seems to be hope for people who dream really big too!

Is Meditation a system change process ? Do people get transformed after meditating, say 100 hours ? How can we apply its ideas to other systems? Economic System perhaps ?

Interesting how my views changed on Sam Altman and Zuckerberg from being kind of a fan, trying to understand their ideas/talks .. to kind of disliking them now.

Agree that focus should be systemic change through collective action but broad ideas presented of switching to renewable energy, etc are bad solutions as an individual can do nothing more than sign a petition or protest. We need practical, viable, out-of-the-box, specific single solution.

Said it after last retreat too and saying it again 😄! Maybe I should dig into it myself. A PhD perhaps 🙈? #AI

I like to describe meditation as machine unlearning. There’s a lot that modern AI research could probably learn from this ancient wisdom. One is just the opposite of other. #AI #Meditation #Vipassana #Unlearning

In India people pay almost everything on the street by scanning UPI QR codes. Most street vendors are poor and work very hard. How about building a database of these vendors with their QR codes, so that internet can surprise n gift these people randomly. #spreadjoy #buildinpublic

As AI makes building things easier, maybe people will lose jobs but those are also the people we will try to sell to, so costs of AI built products would go down and since everyone can easily build them, someone will just offer it for free + donations to pay operating costs - like the wiki model.

Meta’s Business manager is so so bad. I don’t understand how meta makes it so hard for themselves to take my money. Adding payments is a headache, creating ads, business profiles, etc.. All a big mess!

Some old traditions die with time. Some people feel sad about it, some are happy about it. Wise ones just know it and see it change.

Given n docs, getting similarity % between each possible pairing is a nC2 operation involving high number of API calls using AI , right? or is there an easier way to do this ?

Whats the lowest cut % ride hailing apps take ? Is it so hard or expensive to run n maintain an uber like app ? Why are driver unions not building it themselves and thus avoiding exploitation by these apps ?

Instead of vehicles on roads what if we had a connected continuous train like machine. Just get into a small box n put the destination, the box moves along these lines, changes lines at junctions n reaches your destination. Wouldn’t this be faster and efficient?

We pick stories and live them out. Our lives then become stories for others to pick. So, let’s live interesting stories!

A dating site that matches people who do what they love as jobs (pretty rare imo 😅) with people who want to quit and become entrepreneurs (better if social entrepreneur). A good practical partnership I think.

I was laid off few months ago. Today, I was telling my dad, I have a few interviews lined up, don’t worry. He asked if there was any news from last employer , if they want me back, realising my contribution / work. a lil naive, cute & a lil sad :( . Made me wonder, what a world we live in.

I think Vipassana meditation is a system change technique and must be studies and adopted to change bad systems like our monetary economic system.

what’s stopping us from living somewhere in the mountains where life is cheaper (himachal, leh , etc) and work on whatever we want with good internet!
