Day 9/100: AI Is a Tool, Not an Authority
17 min
Karan Balaji sat down with Ram K Pari, a friend since school who is now finishing a PhD in neural engineering, working on speech perception for elderly people. They talked about why AI remixes rather than invents, why students fall into a Dunning-Kruger trap when they lean on AI, where a beginner can still win, why design still needs a designer, the story of a million tokens spent hunting a patch models hallucinated, and the rule to take into tomorrow: treat every AI output as a draft from a confident colleague and verify it.

Day 4/100: State of Offline On-Device AI in 2026 & beyond
5 min
As of end-2025, offline AI is underserved yet scaling rapidly, with the global AI market projected to grow from USD 233.46 billion in 2024. Challenges include hardware-software gaps, where models grow faster than device capabilities, but solutions like NPUs in laptops address this by enabling local runs of large language models (LLMs). Decentralized infrastructure and open-source fine-tuning are key trends, fostering specialized models for edge use.
