⚡ Data Centers Crush Power Grids

Hey folks,

We used to waste hours doom-scrolling Twitter, now a new term has landed called doom-prompting, feeding endless prompts into AI and watching it spit out stuff until our brains turn to mush. It starts innocently: thoughtful prompts that turn into lazy fragments, seduced by AI’s endless suggestions. Before long, your brain checks out and the AI takes over with more prompts, more outputs, more time wasted. The blank page isn’t intimidating anymore, it’s the bottomless one that steals your focus under the guise of productivity. That said, I’ll be over here doom-prompting for now.

Let’s dive in..

⚡ Data Centers Are Crushing Power Grids

🐝 The Buzz: The AI/data center boom is more than slick algorithms, it’s now stressing power grids across the globe. While the U.S. scrambles to keep the lights on, China is racing ahead with massive infrastructure that could shift the entire AI energy landscape.

Gridlock:

• U.S. power grid strained to the max: Data centers have become energy behemoths. In regions like Northern Virginia, they’re already cramping the grid’s style, causing erratic voltage issues and risking outages.

• Costs rising for households everywhere: AI’s power appetite isn’t just hitting tech budgets as utility bills are spiking. In the last year, the national average jumped 6.5%, with some states seeing mid-30% hikes. Utilities lean on aging fossil fuel plants, raising sustainability alarms.

• China’s AI build-out on power steroids: While the U.S. burns out trying to catch up, China is sprinting ahead. With data centers gobbling up a projected 400 billion kWh by 2035, that’s nearly the electricity consumption of an entire province, they’re buttressing their AI push with high-voltage networks and large-scale infrastructure programs.

💡 Takeaway: Data centers used to be invisible. Today, they’re choking the grid. The U.S. is dealing with grid instability, utility cost spikes, and regulatory pushback to data center infrastructure and needs bold investment and smart policy. China is doubling down on resilience through massive UHV transmission lines and regional compute hubs and is charging ahead. If AI dominance relies on power, this is where the game is won or lost.

🍎 Apple Bets on Robots and a Lifelike Siri for Its AI Comeback

🐝 The Buzz: Apple’s been trailing the AI hype train, but Bloomberg just reported on their turnaround plan. A more lifelike Siri, smart displays that double as home hubs, security cams that think for themselves, and even Pixar-style robots that follow you around the house. Yes, Apple wants AI to literally live with you.

• Robot sidekick incoming: Apple is prototyping a tabletop robot with a swiveling screen on a motorized arm. It tracks you, gestures, and could land by 2027. Imagine a Pixar lamp that nags you about meetings.

• Siri with a face: Starting late this year or early next, Siri may appear as an animated avatar on screen, chatting in a way that feels less robotic and more like a digital roommate.

• Smart display hub: By mid-2026, expect a speaker-screen hybrid for calls, media, and smart home control. It’s built to recognize users individually and runs a new “Charismatic OS.”

• Home security with brains: Apple’s developing AI-powered cameras that interpret, trigger actions, and integrate tightly with your home setup.

💡 Takeaway: Apple is trying to reimagine how AI fits into your daily life. With robots, screens, and smarter security, this is more than playing catchup with Google or OpenAI. It’s making Apple AI feel personal, animated, and everywhere in your home.

💻️ How to scrape multiple URLs in GPT-5

Scraping web content is easy with GPT-5, but it does have limitations. Ensure you keep the URLs below 10, and prompt to output the results before you continue. This will get the best results in the context window so you don’t encounter hallucination.

prompt:

Help me compile the full article text from each of the URLs in this list, fetching each one sequentially. Return them to me in batches of 10. For each link, give me the content in JSON with the structure 
{ 
"url": "<URL>", 
"title": "<page title>", 
"content": "<main text>" 
} 
Once you fetch the first 10, send them to me and await my reply before continuing.
