In Davos, an AI debate panelist calls India a second-tier AI power. Ashwini Vaishnaw, the Indian Minister of Railways refutes that. He says that India is a first-tier AI power.

Ashwini Vaishnaw says that India doesn't believe in large AI models. It believes in a bouquet of many small models. He claims that this bouquet of small models covers over 90% of India's AI needs. The minister believes in ROI. Make the smallest investments to make the largest possible returns. He also believes that India has the best AI talents. Therefore India is a 1st tier AI Supapower. Jai Hind!

This reminds me of a joke by a Chinese netizen. It's about a youtiao vendor claiming that he can compete with a professional chef. The professional chef has had to expend plenty of expense, effort, and time to create his Buddha Jumps Over the Wall dish. But the youtiao vendor can create his youtiao at only a fraction of the cost, effort, and time. So the youtiao vendor can claim that he is just as good, if not better than the professional chef. His youtiao gives the better ROI.

Ashwini Vaishnaw understands that in this context, AI means Artificial Intelligence and not Actual Indians right? Because a lot of these ‘bouquet small AI models’ reeks of being driven not by Artificial Intelligence but Actual Indians typing answers on the other end.

Ah the 2 face bipolar Eurocucks and their incompetent circus of clowns they called leaders.
Let's face it, truth be told, outside of their colonies Europe as a whole is barren when it comes to natural resources. My gut feeling tells me this is the main reason why they want Russia so bad and provoked them via the Ukraine route. They want Russian gas for themselves for free but it looks as if Putin have put in a spanner into their devious plan. I wouldn't be surprise in the future if Europe retorts to their old ways and devise some scheme to kick start WW3. Remember WW1 and WW2 began and started by the Europeans.

But at this stage it is wise for Europe to stack up on a lot of lube, this way it would make it a lot less painful for them. Seeing how it is a 3 way gang bang between China, Russia and the US.

Say what you want about Macron but he is probably the only one in the lot who didn’t diddle kids.

They still are/were...
A little history from my understanding.

They basically missed the boat on flat panels because of their dominance with the Trinitron CRT line (and Wega which became Bravia).
On top of this, all Japanese manufacturers made a wrong bet that the superior picture quality of Plasma would beat LCD... In case you didn't realize, it didn't. LCD quality was good enough and much thinner/lighter/cheaper... Where are Pioneer and Panasonic TVs now? Basically a preview of what was to come.

Koreans made a big bet in the 90's to throw all in on LCD. Soon they basically took over the computer monitor market all to themselves. Japanese companies were the early leaders in LCD, but did not scale the technology to meet the cost. LG and Samsung soon grew the panel size to take on the TV market. In the background, Taiwanese and mainland companies lurked to create lower cost panels.

Sony soon had to source their panels from Samsung (another "Joint Venture") which eroded their profit margin. As a result, they pushed further into the high end and soon abandoned the mass market.

The Koreans made another bet to go all in on OLED. In the meanwhile Chinese LCDs improved in quality significantly. Sony would source OLEDs from LG for the highest end XBR lines (Their brand for their highest end TVs dating back to CRT) and LCDs from Chinese suppliers like TCL/CSOT for their mid-range models. Sony maintained their own tuning/processing which is still considered the best in the market.

However, this niche is too small. The Chinese makers have invested in building their own brands significantly. Hisense and TCL have made huge inroads and have taken over that upper mid-range. Hisense is threatening with even greater confidence, selling multiple products in the >$5000 display category including Laser projectors and a $30,000 MicroLED TV. LG has a good chunk of the premium market for themselves, and if not selling their own brand, supplies all the large format OLEDs to the other brands. What room is left for Sony? They must have seen the writing on the wall themselves.

I bought a TV about a year ago. Sony is just not competitive anymore. Their processing/tuning is indeed good, but you can only tell the difference really on Blu-ray discs which nobody uses anymore. That's not really worth paying ~2-3x the price of say a TCL TV which may have better specs on things people can actually notice like HDR brightness. OLED is a much smaller market to begin with, the difference between OLEDs and LEDs are shrinking in every direction, both the pros and cons, and Sony runs into the same issue when compared to LG and Samsung's offerings.

In short, their market is TVs that cost significantly more than the competitor for a difference only barely noticeable to a tiny group of people and only on a medium that very few people use. It has its uses as a halo product for a mass market brand, but it can't stand on its own.
