Space May Be the Next Frontier for Google's AI Data Centers

Google unveiled Project Suncatcher — a moonshot to launch AI chips on solar-powered satellites, creating space-based data centers that harness endless clean energy and tackle the power and emissions crisis of Earth’s AI infrastructure.

Details:

• Google plans to send its Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) on solar-powered satellites that generate energy almost nonstop—up to eight times more than Earth-based panels. Tests show its Trillium TPUs can endure five years in orbit without failures

• The satellites would need to communicate at tens of terabits per second, requiring them to fly in tight formations within kilometers of each other – much closer than satellites operate currently, increasing space debris collision risks

• While launch costs are high, Google's analysis suggests space data centers could become cost-competitive with Earth-based ones on a per-kilowatt/year basis by the mid-2030s. The company is partnering with Planet to launch prototype satellites by 2027

Google’s Travis Beals says, “In the future, space may be the best place to scale AI compute.” A recent preprint details its bold plan to solve AI’s soaring energy demands.

Amazon Threatens Perplexity Over AI Browser That Shops for Customers

Amazon and Perplexity have kicked off what could be the great AI web browser fight, with Amazon demanding that Perplexity's Comet AI browser stop purchasing products for customers on its platform.

Details:

• Amazon has repeatedly demanded Perplexity stop its Comet AI shopping feature, citing platform rule violations and poor user experience. Amazon has sent what Perplexity calls an "aggressive legal threat" to end the feature

• Perplexity fired back, calling Amazon a bully. It says its AI boosts shopping and customer satisfaction, while Amazon prioritizes ads, sponsored results, and upsells. Perplexity noted Andy Jassy’s pledge to “partner with third-party agents,” calling Amazon’s position contradictory

• The clash underscores a bigger question: who controls online shopping? Perplexity’s spokesperson Jesse Dwyer said, “It’s like a store letting you hire a shopper who works for the store. That’s not a personal shopper”

This dispute marks the opening battle in what may become a much larger war over AI browsers and their ability to act autonomously across the web.

AI Tutorial

How to Generate Flowcharts and Mind Maps in ChatGPT

Most people use ChatGPT for writing or research — but it can also design visuals. You can create flowcharts, mind maps, and even sequence diagrams directly from your prompts.

1. Visit ChatGPT

   Go to the ChatGPT website and sign in with your OpenAI account. Make sure you’re using the latest version.

2. Search for GPT

   In the left sidebar, select Explore GPTs, search for Whimsical Diagrams, and open it. It creates flowcharts, sequence diagrams, and mind maps from your prompts.

3. Write Prompt

   Describe exactly what you want to visualize.

   Example prompts:

   “Create a flowchart showing the steps of the employee onboarding process.”

   “Generate a sequence diagram for a user logging into a web app.”

   Tips for clarity:

   • Include key stages or relationships.

   • Mention the type (mind map, flowchart, sequence).

4. Review Generated Diagram

   The GPT will return a structured diagram or map based on your prompt.

   Depending on your input:

   • Mind maps show concept relationships.

   • Flowcharts visualize decision paths or processes.

   • Sequence diagrams illustrate system or user interactions.

5. Refine Using Mentions

   You can also use Whimsical Diagrams GPT in any other ChatGPT chat.

   Just type @Whimsical, select it from the dropdown, and write your prompt.

6. Edit and Finalize

   If you want deeper customization—colors, layout, labels, or structure—ChatGPT will give you an option to open the file inside Whimsical.

   From there you can:

   • Rearrange nodes and shapes

   • Add icons, connectors, or notes

   • Export or share the final diagram with your team

Note: Use short sentences when describing processes — long or complex phrasing can confuse the diagram generator.

He gazes upward with intensity, the only sharp focus in the frame. An urban street scene with soft neon tones, shallow depth of field, and cinematic lighting. The atmosphere feels introspective and dramatic, evoking a sense of loneliness amidst movement.

Prompt of the Day

Prompt for Stealing Any Writing Style

This prompt turns AI into a precision stylistic analyst that can extract and recreate any writer’s voice from books, emails, posts, or websites. It instructs the model to perform deep stylometric forensics—mapping formatting, punctuation, vocabulary, pacing, rhetorical devices, and psychological triggers—and then produces a detailed, actionable replication blueprint.
