AI is the future. Every big country is spending billions on it… it is the new race.

The US built OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, Anthropic’s Claude. China built DeepSeek, Alibaba’s Qwen, Baidu’s Ernie.

And India? We have not built a single model the world actually uses.

The strange part is, we are not missing anything. We have the money… our startups and IT companies raise crores easily. We have the talent… many top AI labs abroad are run by Indians. We have the data… 140 crore people and 22 languages, the richest user base in the world.

Everything is in place… and the biggest thing we built is Astrotalk. An app to call astrologers. That is our proudest tech product.

Tell me honestly… what are we missing?​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Coding by day, overthinking in evening with a glass in hand. Looking for someone who can match the vibe… That’s when I want someone real to talk to.

No small talk, no filters. Life, exes, ambitions, regrets, the weird thoughts that only come out after the third peg… all of it.
I’ll bring the stories. You bring the honesty.

There’s this girl I’ve been dating for almost a year now, and we’re really close. We talk about everything — life, future plans, careers, where we wanna end up someday.

One night we were sitting together after dinner just talking about random childhood memories and family stories. The conversation got quiet for a second and she suddenly looked at me and said, “Can I tell you something I’ve never told anyone?”

I said, “Yeah, of course. Tell me.”

Then she goes, “You remember I told you about my little brother who drowned in the family pool when he was 4? It wasn’t an accident. I pushed him in. My family still thinks it was an accident .

I genuinely froze.

For like 10 seconds my brain actually refused to process what she just said. She told me she was 7 at the time. Said she got jealous because all the attention went to him and she pushed him into the deep end thinking he’d cry and someone would pull him out. But nobody did.

Part of me wants to believe she was just a jealous 7-year-old kid who made a horrible mistake and has been carrying guilt her entire life. But another part of me is honestly scared as hell now.

How do you even react to something like that?

Apple, Google, Microsoft, Tesla, Amazon, Meta, Nvidia, OpenAI, Anthropic… the list keeps going. Almost every company that has shaped the modern world was founded in the US.

Other countries have smart people, good universities, and strong economies too. But somehow the biggest companies keep coming from one place, America

What do Americans do differently that the rest of the world hasn’t been able to replicate?

I’ve been carrying this guilt for 4 years and I genuinely don’t know if I deserve to move on from it.
Back in school, I had a childhood best friend, Rupali. From her side, she always liked me, but from my side, she was just my best friend. After my first breakup, she finally confessed her feelings to me. I told her I wasn’t ready for another relationship yet and needed time.

But I also told her something I probably should never have said — that whenever I’d think of dating someone again, she would be my first preference.
But life happened. I met another girl, got really close to her, and eventually started dating her instead.
Rupali found out. She became distant after that. Barely talked to me anymore. I could tell I hurt her, but she never really fought with me over it.

Then came my birthday.

She called me after a long time and we talked for around 40 minutes. Honestly, it felt like old times again — like my best friend was back. But during that call, my girlfriend was waiting for me with a cake and a decorated setup she had planned for me. She already hated my friendship with Rupali and after that night, things got worse.

Eventually my girlfriend gave me an ultimatum: either keep Rupali in my life or choose the relationship.
I chose my girlfriend.

She then asked me to block Rupali — Instagram, WhatsApp, everything. And I did it because I didn’t want to lose my relationship.
About a week later, Rupali called me 9 times in one night. I was with my girlfriend at the time and ignored every single call.

The next day, I found out her father had a heart attack. They couldn’t get him to the hospital in time because the ambulance was late. That’s why she was calling me.

Ever since then, she blames me for killing her dad. Says if I had picked up, maybe I could’ve helped somehow. And the worst part is… a part of me believes her.

I know logically maybe I’m not directly responsible, but I can’t explain the guilt I feel even after 4 years. Sometimes I randomly think about those 9 missed calls and it destroys me all over again.

I don’t even know why I’m posting this. Maybe I just needed to finally say it somewhere.

Thanks!

People here act extremely flashy and rich.

Some people here talk like “mere driver ke bhi 4 drivers hain” and then get offended when someone asks for proof of the claims they themselves made. This is Reddit — anonymity exists for everyone, so blind trust doesn’t make sense.

If someone is respectfully asking for proof, it’s usually because they’re interested or curious, not attacking you. There’s no harm in being humble and backing up your own statements instead of getting defensive.

First date. She said “don’t get anything, just come.”
I came empty handed.
She mentioned it that evening itself.
Then again after 3 months.
Then once during a completely unrelated argument.
😭😭
What did you bring on your first date? Did it work?
