Hey there! Shinky here, making AI simple, useful, and powerful for you.

Elon Musk’s xAI just unleashed a sharper version of Grok and it’s already stirring the pot. This upgraded AI chatbot has begun openly criticizing Democrats and Hollywood’s powerful Jewish executives, igniting fresh debate about bias, free speech, and the ethics of AI “personality.” Should we be excited or alarmed when our chatbots start throwing shade?

TODAY IN WORLD OF AI

📊Dashboards everywhere, Alignment nowhere

“More charts ≠ more clarity.”

VentureBeat’s recent piece nails a pain many teams feel but rarely fix, your dashboards might look pretty but they’re not driving decisions.

Most companies now have endless dashboards -  marketing, sales, ops, growth, all stuffed with metrics. Yet few leaders trust the numbers enough to act decisively. Why? Because raw data without context creates confusion, not alignment.

Enter the Data Product Manager, a role still underused in many startups. They treat data like a product: defining users, clarifying what matters, building feedback loops, and ensuring insights flow where they’re needed most.

What you should ask?

▪️ Who owns the why behind your data?

▪️ Are your dashboards just vanity metrics or real levers?

▪️ Does your team have one source of truth or ten conflicting ones?

When everyone slices metrics their own way, focus breaks down. The answer isn’t more data tools. It’s treating data as an experience managed like any customer-facing product.

In 2025, a sharp Data PM might add more ROI than another analyst or dashboard license.

EVERYTHING ELSE YOU NEED TO KNOW

Action: Dust just hit a $6M ARR milestone by doing what so many chatbots promise but rarely deliver: building AI agents that actually take action instead of just chatting aimlessly. From automating workflows to handling real tasks, Dust’s rise is a clear signal, companies want AI that rolls up its sleeves and gets stuff done.

Alliance: At the BRICS summit, PM Modi threw down a clear challenge: nations must unite for “responsible AI” that serves humanity, not just profits. With global AI arms races heating up, his call is a reminder will countries collaborate for safety, or race ahead solo into uncharted ethical terrain?

Blazing: Holy smokes indeed DeepSeek’s new R1-0.5.28 variant from Germany’s TNG Technology Consulting clocks in 200% faster than its predecessor. This turbocharged model promises to supercharge everything from research to code generation.

Shield: In a decisive move, Cloudflare is now blocking AI crawlers by default, a major win for web publishers guarding their content from being scraped to train massive AI models. As the data wars heat up, who really owns the web’s knowledge and who gets to profit from it?

AI SPECIAL EDITION

🦄Only 7 new Unicorns so far: A reality check

“The unicorn party isn’t dead, it’s just growing up.”

In 2025, just seven new tech unicorns have been minted so far. For context, we saw dozens during the 2021–22 frenzy.

But fewer unicorns don’t mean startups are failing, they mean VCs and founders are recalibrating. Investors burned by overhyped valuations now care more about sustainable growth than vanity horns.

What this signals?
1️⃣ Disciplined capital is the new flex. Founders raising $10–50M at sensible valuations are outlasting those who overextended at $1B+ too soon.
2️⃣ Revenue, not runway. Investors want to see real paying customers, not just ARR projections.
3️⃣ Category creation is alive. The seven new unicorns are in AI, deep tech, climate big bets where scale still attracts capital.

💡The opportunity:
This market rewards builders with patience and product obsession not pitch-deck artists. If your startup’s growth isn’t sky-high yet, good. You’re not forced into funding at inflated terms that haunt you later.

Unicorns will return but they’ll look more durable and less meme-worthy.
