Desi NYU students land Google, Amazon jobs in US. Video draws hate comments against India
What the video showed
The video appeared to have been filmed during the graduation ceremony at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering. Holding a microphone in hand, one interviewer approached several students to ask what they had planned for after after college.
Many students revealed that they had managed to land lucrative jobs at some of the world's leading companies like Google, Amazon and Apple. However, viewers were triggered to note that most of the students appeared to be foreigners.
Video triggers India hate
The video showed one woman saying she had landed a job as a software engineer at Google. Another student said they would start working with Amazon in Seattle. Although the nationalities of these students were never even hinted at, viewers summarized from their appearance and accents that the students were of South Asian descent.
And then the hate comments began.
'Indians and Chinese joining big tech giants in US,' wrote one person on Instagram. 'All these immigrants making America great,' another said.
The video soon reached X, where the comments were more racist.
'Love how our universities are explicitly not meant to educate our own citizens, really 'well-functioning country' stuff going on here,' an X user posted.
'Why is America educating its enemies? I've heard that they also get scholarships and aid. What are we doing here?' another questioned.
'So sick of the Patel army in this country,' one person commented, while a second added, 'Is that NYU's Mumbai campus?'

Pixel 10 Pro Fold Leak Reveals Full Specs, IP68 Dustproof Rating
Just days before its official launch at next week's Made by Google event, the full specifications of the Pixel 10 Pro Fold have reportedly surfaced — and they bring some exciting news for foldable fans. According to details shared by WinFuture, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold will feature an IP68 rating, offering complete dust protection and the ability to withstand continuous submersion in water. This rumoured feature, now seemingly confirmed, could give Google's flagship foldable a notable advantage over rivals like Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Motorola's Razr Ultra, which lack full dustproofing. The device sports a slightly larger 6.4-inch external display compared to the Pixel 9 Pro Fold's 6.3 inches. Both the internal and external screens boast enhanced brightness, increasing from 2,700 nits to an impressive 3,000 nits. Wireless charging support is included with the 15W Qi2 standard, though it skips the faster 25W charging announced last month. While the camera hardware appears unchanged, the telephoto lens now supports 10x optical zoom — a significant leap from the previous 5x limit. With these upgrades, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could set a new standard for premium foldable smartphones. Full leaked specs are available via WinFuture's detailed report.

Oracle, Google cloud units strike deal for Oracle to sell Gemini models
Oracle and Alphabet said on Thursday their cloud computing units have struck a deal to offer Google's Gemini artificial intelligence models through Oracle's cloud computing services and business applications. The deal, similar to one that Oracle struck with Elon Musk's xAI in June, will let software developers tap Google's models to generate text, video, images and audio. Businesses that use Oracle's various applications for corporate finances, human resources and supply chain planning will also be able to choose to use Google's models inside those apps. The deal is about distribution. The models themselves will run on Google's servers, but developers using Oracle's cloud will be able to access them through a Google product called Vertex AI, which Oracle will integrate into its offerings. Those Oracle customers will be able to pay for the Google AI technologies using the same system of Oracle cloud credits they use to pay for Oracle services. The two companies did not disclose what, if any, payments will flow between them as part of the deal. For Oracle, the move advances the company's strategy of offering a menu of AI options to its customers rather than trying to push its own technology. For Google, it represents another step in its effort to expand the reach of its cloud offerings and win corporate customers away from rivals such as Microsoft.
