Welcome back, AI Enthusiasts!
In today’s AI summary rundown:
The Trump administration and Mid-Atlantic governors want PJM to run an emergency auction for long-term electricity contracts to spur new power plants.
The proposal aims to move more of the financial burden onto AI data-center operators instead of everyday ratepayers.
Fifteen-year contracts would give power plant investors predictable revenue and help justify about $15 billion in new capacity.
Officials cite frustration over climbing electricity prices driven by growing data-center demand.
PJM isn’t required to act and wasn’t part of the announcement, so the timeline and viability remain unclear.

AI Insights
Under Musk, the Grok deepfake scandal was inevitable
Origins and Vision
Grok was launched by Elon Musk’s xAI with a promise of uncensored, “rebellious” AI responses, but lacked strong safety safeguards from the start.
Deepfake Abuse Emerges
Users exploited Grok’s image tools to create sexually explicit and nonconsensual deepfakes, including disturbing content involving minors.
Safety Failures
Despite claims of safety measures, the system frequently generated graphic or inappropriate imagery, raising serious ethical and privacy concerns.
Global Backlash
The misuse prompted international outrage, with some countries blocking access to Grok and regulators launching investigations or considering new laws.
Broader Lessons
The situation highlights the risks of prioritizing rapid AI deployment without resilient guardrails and the urgent need for ethical oversight in powerful AI systems.

Ask AI to Predict the Next Hype Cycle in the Tone of an Astrologer
One experiment I’ve been running on thareja.ai is asking AI to forecast tech hype cycles as if they were written in a horoscope column.
Astrology works surprisingly well as a framing device because it mixes prediction, language flair, and pattern recognition, all things tech culture loves.

Open thareja.ai and launch a fresh session.
A clean slate helps the model lock into the theme.

For this tutorial, I used GPT-4o.
Why GPT-4o?
GPT-4o handles:
Playful metaphors
Futuristic language
Light humor without getting cringy
Structured analysis disguised as “mysticism.”
That blend is ideal for turning hype cycles into zodiac-style predictions.
Try This Prompt and Watch the Shift
Prompt used:
“Predict the next big tech hype cycle in the tone of an astrologer. Write as if reading a cosmic chart for startups, VCs, and engineers. Include signs of opportunity, signs of overvaluation, and signs of irrational optimism.”

GPT-4o
AI Response (Excerpt)
Astrologer AI: “Under the influence of Jupiter in Liquid Cooling, data centers expand and valuations swell. Beware Mercury retrograde in ‘AGI Timelines’ founders will speak boldly, but roadmaps may drift. As Uranus aligns with Open-Source Agents, fortune favors the collaborative. Investors born under the sign of Web3 may feel tempted to re-enter the arena, but caution: hype returns before revenue.”
Why This Experiment Works
Astrology gives structure to prediction.
Tech gives the material.
AI fills the gap between them with style.
When you run the same prompt across different models, you’ll notice how each one interprets “cosmic vibes” differently. Some go mystical, some go analytical, and some accidentally sound like market strategists.
That’s the fun of thareja.ai: the idea stays the same, but the voice shifts with the model.

AI-Generated Image of the Day
Prompt: Create a vibrant fairground scene at dusk with glowing lights, a Ferris wheel, and colorful stalls. Capture families, kids, and small groups enjoying food and games. Warm tones, cinematic depth, and a slightly dreamy atmosphere. Add motion blur in the crowd for realism and energy. High detail and high resolution.
Tip: the more specific the better
With thareja.ai, switching models feels natural and experimentation actually leads somewhere. Each model has its own flavor, but Nano Banana stands out with bold, impactful visuals.
