Electricity bills have been climbing across the US, but the AI boom is making it worse. A lot worse. New data centers are popping up everywhere to handle ChatGPT, Gemini, and countless other AI tools. And here’s the kicker: you’re helping pay for them whether you use AI
It’s no secret that tech companies are racing to build “artificial general intelligence,” or AI that can match a human brain without needing a lifeline. But here’s the kicker: our brains already have the home field advantage. They do the same heavy lifting with just a fraction of
You’ve seen the headlines. The viral demos. AI writing essays, generating photorealistic images, even creating entire videos. It feels like we’re living in a sci-fi future … or dystopian one. But while we’ve been mesmerized by chatbots and deepfakes, something much more important is happening behind the scenes.
As the new wave of generative AI scales up, so does its hunger for energy. Data centers are expanding at an unprecedented rate, putting immense strain on power grids and worsening years-long backlogs for electrical connections. With AI adoption accelerating across industries, big tech companies are tapping nuclear power as
Let’s Stop Pretending AI Is New I’ve been thinking a lot about generative AI lately. It’s kind of hard not to with the latest ChatGPT announcement. The technologies we’re witnessing are powerful, impressive, and developing fast. Everything you’re been seeing on screen, for example, is
If your taste in TV is anything like mine, then most of your familiarity with what analog computing looks like probably comes from the backdrops of Columbo. Since digital took over the world, analog has been sidelined into what seems like a niche interest at best. But this retro approach
MIT researchers recently demonstrated the impact of connected autonomous vehicles (CAVs) to not only cut traffic, but also reduce emissions.
What if you could tap into the power of machine learning to help you monitor your energy use? To find out where it's coming from and where it’s going? To potentially let you know if one of those devices is failing and in need of being replaced? Would you be willing to add that artificial intelligenc
Waymo invited me out to Phoenix to ride in their self driving car and experience their view of the future of transportation. It’s exciting to see the differences between Tesla’s autopilot, full self driving technology and Waymo’s. Let’s take a look at the past, present, and future of transportation
Tesla just held an autonomy investor day to show off their latest tech and software, as well as to show how the company plans to take advantage of it. So why did Tesla hold this event now and how far off are we?
