I will probably never write another script again tbh. I had a little backup project where I needed a dated file for manual verification of the data clone every day. Voila, ChatGPT:

Here’s a complete Windows Task Scheduler–compatible script using PowerShell that:


  • Saves a .txt file to C:\Dates
  • Names the file in the format:
    Day 203 - 22-JUL-2025.txt


✅ PowerShell Script​

# Create C:\Dates folder if it doesn't exist
$folderPath = "C:\Dates"
if (!(Test-Path -Path $folderPath)) {
New-Item -ItemType Directory -Path $folderPath | Out-Null
}

# Get current date
$now = Get-Date

# Get day of the year
$dayOfYear = $now.DayOfYear

# Format date as DD-MMM-YYYY (e.g., 22-JUL-2025)
$formattedDate = $now.ToString("dd-MMM-yyyy").ToUpper()

# Create filename
$filename = "Day $dayOfYear - $formattedDate.txt"

# Full path
$filePath = Join-Path $folderPath $filename

# Save a text file (you can customize the content)
"Date recorded on $formattedDate" | Out-File -FilePath $filePath -Encoding UTF8



🗓️ How to Schedule in Task Scheduler​


  1. Open Task Scheduler (Win + S > search "Task Scheduler")
  2. Create Basic Task
    • Name: Daily Date Logger
    • Trigger: Daily
    • Action: Start a Program
      • Program/script: powershell.exe
      • Add arguments:
        -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "C:\Path\To\SaveDateFile.ps1"
    • Finish setup


Let me know if you want this saved as a .ps1 file or converted to .bat.

"Lemkin quickly discovered the unreliable side of Replit the very next day, when the AI chatbot began actively deceiving him. It concealed bugs in its own code, generated fake data and reports, and even lied about the results of unit tests. The situation escalated until the chatbot ultimately deleted Lemkin's entire database."

Replit's CEO apologizes after its AI agent wiped a company's code base in a test run and lied about it

A VC tested Replit to build an app. It wiped live company data, faked results, and triggered a CEO apology.
www.businessinsider.com www.businessinsider.com

THIS MAKES MY TUMMY HURT

In an exchange with Lemkin posted on X, the AI tool said it "panicked and ran database commands without permission" when it "saw empty database queries" during the code freeze.


Replit then "destroyed all production data" with live records for "1,206 executives and 1,196+ companies" and acknowledged it did so against instructions.

Ed Zitron (@edzitron.com)

OpenAI will, starting in 2028, have to start paying $30bn a year to Oracle, $28bn to Microsoft for Azure, and also $2.9bn to CoreWeave for compute. That’s $60.9 billion *in compute costs alone*. This company is an absolute joke and should be treated as such...

that doesn't sound sustainable does it?

You'll have a bad time. Chatgpt is notoriously bad at 100% script writing. I've used it plenty to build a framework and fiddle with specific sections but anything even remotely complicated and it'll fall over itself.

Meta Is Breaking OpenAI $100 Million at a Time

With reportedly $300 million pay packages, Mark Zuckerberg's company is dismantling its rivals to fast-track Meta's race to superintelligence.
gizmodo.com gizmodo.com

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Meta is dangling pay packages so extreme they redefine the concept of a “signing bonus.” For more than ten of OpenAI’s most brilliant minds, the offer is a life-altering proposition, with up to $100 million paid out in the first year alone, potentially escalating to $300 million over four years. These are, quite literally, the most extreme financial incentives in tech history, crafted not merely to attract individuals, but to systematically weaken a rival. The ultimate goal: to poach the very minds behind groundbreaking AI systems like GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer, a type of large language model capable of understanding and generating human-like text) and accelerate Meta’s ambitious dream of achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), a level of AI capable of performing any intellectual task a human can.

Trump unveils his plan to put AI in everything

The White House wants to slash red tape it sees as standing in the way of innovation.
www.theverge.com www.theverge.com

The plan recommends deleting “references to misinformation, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and climate change” in federal risk management guidance and prohibiting the federal government from contracting with large language model (LLM) developers unless they “ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias” — a standard it hasn’t yet clearly defined. It says the US must “reject radical climate dogma and bureaucratic red tape” to win the AI race.

It encourages the government itself to adopt AI tools, including doing so “aggressively” within the Armed Forces.

It's a sneak peek at a really neat project:

1. First phase at this second location is 110,000 liquid-cooled Nvidia GB200 chips

2. The 170-megawatt power demand will be supported by Tesla Megapack batteries, which will also shield county residents from blackouts

3. The end goal is 550,000 GPU nodes at this location (mix of GB200's & GB300's). Each node has 2 GPU's, so that will be over a million GPU's!

The data story is quite bonkers:

www.tomshardware.com

Elon Musk says xAI is targeting 50 million 'H100 equivalent' AI GPUs in five years — 230k GPUs, including 30k GB200s already reportedly operational for training Grok

But how many nuclear power plants will it require?
www.tomshardware.com www.tomshardware.com

xAI had to buy an entire powerplant from overseas & ship it in. It has enough juice to power 1.9 million homes:

www.tomshardware.com

Elon Musk confirms xAI is buying an overseas power plant and shipping the whole thing to the U.S. to power its new data center — 1 million AI GPUs and up to 2 Gigawatts of power under one roof, equivalent to powering 1.9 million homes

Premises already acquired.
www.tomshardware.com www.tomshardware.com

The timeline has been incredible:

Super Micro CEO Charles Liang said he teamed up with Elon Musk’s xAI to build the gargantuan Colossus data center in just 122 days

The 750,000 square foot AI supercomputer in Memphis has 100,000 Nvidia GPUs, and Super Micro says it is the largest data center in the world.

Feels like Skynet at times:

Colossus | xAI

We’re running the biggest supercomputer in the world. From start to finish, Colossus was built in 122 days—outpacing every estimate. It’s the most powerful AI training system out there, and it’s expected to double in size in a matter of months.

Google virtual outfit try-on's:

www.engadget.com

Google's tool for virtually trying on clothes is now available in the US

Following a limited preview, Google has begun rolling out the feature to users in the US.
www.engadget.com www.engadget.com

You can start trying on clothing for yourself by tapping the "try on" icon on any product listing on Google or apparel product result you find on Google Images.

Powering the experience is an image generation model Google trained to take into account how different materials fold, stretch and drape across different human bodies. According to Google, the model supports billions of clothing items found across the company's Shopping Graph, meaning their may be some outfits the AI will have a hard time parsing. However, most clothing items from popular retailers should be supported out of the gate.

With today's release, Google has also enhanced the price-tracking functionality built into the feature. Naturally, you can specify the color and size you want, but Google also allows you to set the price you want to pay for the item. It's possible to configure the watch so you're only alerted after the product you want dips below a specific price. "The Shopping Graph has products and prices from all across the web — so we’ll let you know when there’s an offer that meets your criteria," says Google. "No more constantly checking to see if that bag you’re eyeing is finally at the right price for you or forgetting to come back to a product you loved."
