Welcome Automaters, 👋
You know how your laptop gets hot when you play games? Now imagine a data center the size of a football field trying to run AI at scale. It’s a heat nightmare.
Elon Musk’s latest "galaxy brain" move involves putting AI data centers in space. The logic? It’s a free world up there, and there’s infinite solar power. Theoretically, it works! But a new report from Engadget warns that this plan could—minor detail—totally wreck the Earth.
Here’s the deal:
Launching thousands of these "Orbital Brains" creates massive amounts of soot and chemical vapors in the stratosphere. When these satellites eventually die and fall back to Earth (the "burn up"), they release harmful chemicals that eat the ozone layer like a hungry teenager at a buffet, causing complicated effects on the health of the environment.
Also: On Earth, we use fans and water to cool AI. In a vacuum, heat has nowhere to go. To keep these "Space Brains" from frying, SpaceX needs radiators thousands of times larger than the ones on the International Space Station. Imagine a satellite with "wings" the size of a shopping mall just to stay cool!
The problem? With a million new roommates in orbit, the risk of a high-speed fender bender is real. Experts warn of a "Kessler Cascade"—a chain reaction where one collision creates debris that destroys everything else, potentially trapping us on Earth behind a wall of spinning junk. Not exactly the "multi-planetary future" we were promised.
Why this matters for AI: As we all start using AI for everything from homework to dog memes, the world needs massive power. If we can't find a way to run these models sustainably, our quest for "Super Intelligence" might literally leave us under a hole in the sky. Not cool, Elon!
Here's what we have for you today
🥊 OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and the Billion-User Battle for India’s AI Future
So, somewhere out there, there's a photographer at India's AI Summit having the worst day of their career. Yup, the AI world just had one of those awkward days
First up: Sam Altman (OpenAI) and Dario Amodei (Anthropic) ran into each other at India’s massive AI Impact Summit in New Delhi. And instead of a cool high-five, we got a moment so awkward it basically broke the internet. Imagine two geniuses trying to decide if they should hold or shake hands, then doing... neither.
The Story: India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asked the executives on stage to join hands and raise them together in a show of global AI solidarity. A wholesome moment, right?
Wrong. Standing right next to Sam was Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic and Sam’s former VP of Research who left OpenAI in 2021 after a legendary falling out over safety. Instead of holding hands, the two rivals looked like they would rather touch a hot stove. They both awkwardly raised clenched fists into the air, missing each other's hands by a mile.
Altman later told reporters he was simply "confused" by the request. But the internet knows a "we aren't friends" vibe when it sees one.
But hey, while they were avoiding physical contact, both CEOs were busy opening their wallets. The rivalry between these two labs recently went full Super Bowl after Anthropic ran ads taking shots at OpenAI's "deceptive" advertising plans. Now, they’re both fighting for the same billion users in India.
OpenAI’s Play: Sam announced two brand new offices in Mumbai and Bengaluru and a massive partnership with TCS (Tata Consultancy Services). They’re building 100MW of AI data center capacity with an option to scale to 1GW. OpenAI will also provide new tools aimed at scaling AI skills in higher education
Anthropic’s Counter: Dario opened a Bengaluru office of his own and partnered with Infosys to deploy "agentic" AI solutions across telecommunications and finance.
But while the CEOs were busy being socially awkward, Google was busy being a total nerd. They just dropped Gemini 3.1 Pro, and it is absolutely crushing benchmarks.
It achieved a verified score of 77.1% on ARC-AGI-2, which is a benchmark specifically designed to measure a model's ability to solve entirely new logic patterns. For context, that is more than double the reasoning performance of the previous version. And according to other reports it's now leading on 7 major benchmarks. It's basically the kid in class who finishes the 100-page test in two minutes and gets an A+++.
Why does all of this matter beyond the drama?
Because India represents over a billion potential users and a massive government-backed ecosystem for AI at scale.
Every lab planting a flag there is doing more than just chasing revenue; they are shaping which AI tools billions of people will use in their daily lives. Whether it is students, factory workers, or doctors, the winner of the "India Race" might just win the global AI war.
The stakes couldn't be higher, and apparently, neither could the tension.
The lesson? If you’re gonna change the world, you might also need to master your facial expressions. 😅
Seriously, learn how to swallow the shade, perfect the “great to see you!” handshake, and deploy that Oscar-worthy smile when your rival walks in. Because saving humanity is one thing… surviving high-profile group photos without a scandal is another.

🤖 AI Workout Of The Day: How to Turn Long-Form videos into High-Engagement TikToks, Reels, and Shorts With Opus Clip AI
AI Generated
Opus Clip is the tool that makes video creators cry tears of joy. You paste a link to a long YouTube video, podcast, or Zoom call. Then, the AI watches the whole thing for you, finds the gold, cuts it, captions it, and slaps a Virality Score on every clip.
With 10M+ users and $50M in total funding (led by SoftBank), this isn't a hobby project; it’s a rocketship.
What makes it our favourite: Its AI Virality Score now predicts engagement potential before you even post. Combined with ClipAnything (which uses visual cues and sentiment analysis) and ReframeAnything, this thing edits like a human. Actually, it is arguably better: it is 57% less likely to produce those weird, incoherent cuts that make viewers scroll past.
How to Use It:
Step 1: Go to opus.pro and create a free account. The Free plan gives you 60 processing minutes per month, which is plenty for a test drive. Starter Plan starters at $15/month, and Pro starts at $29/month for the heavy hitters.
Step 2: Paste a YouTube URL, Google Drive link, or upload an MP4 directly (up to 10GB). It works with everything from gaming vlogs to dry corporate tutorials.
Step 3: Use the "Co-pilot" to select specific timeframes to clip, choose preferred clip lengths, let the AI auto-generate clips or use text prompts to find specific topics.
Step 4: Hit "Get Clips in 1 Click" and let the AI cook. You will get an email when it is done, usually within a few minutes for a 30-minute video.
Step 5: Review your 10 to 15 generated clips. Sort them by Virality Score and click "Edit" on the winners. You can adjust the captions (97% accuracy, but always double-check), tweak the colors, or add your logo.
Step 6: Download the high-quality clips or post them directly to your connected social media accounts from the dashboard.
Pro Tip: Use natural language prompts to guide the AI. Telling it to "Find the moments where I give a specific, actionable tip" results in way better clips than just letting it guess what’s important.
💡 Prompt To Try:
The Hook Hunter: "Find the moments where I say something surprising or counterintuitive; those make the best hooks."
The Storyteller: "Pull every clip where I tell a personal story. Max 60 seconds each."
The Comedian: "Find the funniest moments in this podcast. Extra credit for unexpected reactions."
The Authority: "Highlight every time I give a specific number, statistic, or bold claim."Is this your AI Workout of the Week (WoW)? Cast your vote!
