The AI bubble is so big it's propping up the US economy

Greetings all — Busy week in BITM land.

Lightning on Earth is sparked by a powerful chain reaction from outer space

The energy needed for thunderstorms could come from an avalanche of electrons seeded by extraterrestrial cosmic rays , a new study claims. Scientists already knew that lightning is an electrical discharge between thunderclouds and Earth's surface, but exactly how storm clouds obtain an electric field powerful enough to hurl a bolt has remained a mystery for centuries. Now, a new study has used computer models to reveal that lightning strikes as the result of a powerful chain reaction that begi

Surprise! Random Cans of Celsius Energy Drink Actually Contain Vodka After Factory Accident, Company Admits

This is quite the mixup. Bottlenecked The next time you need an energy boost, you might end up getting tipsy instead. In a recall notice that's both bizarre and unintentionally comical, the Food and Drug Administration is warning that some 12-packs of High Noon vodka seltzer may contain mislabeled cans of Celsius — a non-alcoholic energy drink that's popular everywhere these days, but perhaps particularly on Capitol Hill — which are, in a convoluted twist, actually full of High Noon, complete

Unemployment rising in remote-friendly occupations (2024)

The recent rise in unemployment is steeper in occupations where remote work is more widespread. A continued rise could shift bargaining power towards employers who want workers to return to the office. Last week Amazon announced that its workers would need to work in person five days a week starting in January. Since tech has been the sector most open to remote work, and Amazon is such a dominant tech company, Amazon’s announcement prompts the question: could remote work, after jumping during t

High Noon Recalls Alcoholic Drinks Mislabeled as Celsius. What to Do if You Were Impacted

High Noon has issued a recall on two of its Beach Variety packs because of the presence of alcohol in the wrong type of cans. Within these 12-packs of High Noon Beach Variety packs there may be some Celsius-labelled cans -- which should contain an energy drink -- that were shipped out with High Noon vodka seltzer inside them. Cans that are filled with High Noon's vodka seltzer are mislabeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Energy Drink, Sparkling Blue Razz Edition, and have a silver top instead of a blac

Check Your Celsius Energy Drinks, They Might Be Booze

High Noon has issued a voluntary recall after Celsius energy drinks in eight states were mislabeled and may contain vodka. The company reports that a “shared packaging supplier” mistakenly shipped empty cans for Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz Edition to High Noon, which filled the cans with alcoholic drinks from its Beach Variety 12-packs. The mislabeled cans were shipped to distributors in Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin between July

Intel's 14A chip process in jeopardy, while cutting jobs and pulling back global expansion

Cutting corners: Intel's next leap in semiconductor manufacturing, known as the 14A process, now hangs in the balance. The company warned that it could slow down or even halt development of the advanced 1.4nm-class technology unless it secures a significant external customer and meets critical project milestones. This admission, made public in a regulatory filing, marks a notable shift for the chipmaker, which has traditionally set the pace for pushing leading-edge technologies but now risks ce

The First Planned Migration of an Entire Country Is Underway

Tuvalu is preparing to carry out the first planned migration of an entire country in response to the effects of climate change. Recent studies project that much of its territory could be submerged in the next 25 years due to rising sea levels, forcing its inhabitants to consider migration as an urgent survival measure. This island nation in Oceania is made up of nine coral islands and atolls inhabited by just over 11,000 people. The country’s average altitude is just 2 meters above sea level, m

Don't Let Summer's High Interest Rates Pass You By. Do This ASAP

Like temperatures, savings rates could start cooling off in September. Kristina Kokhanova/Getty Images Temperatures aren't the only thing that's elevated this summer. Savings rates are sizzling too. That's awesome news for anyone who wants to grow their money faster. But, just like temps, annual percentage yields can't stay high forever.

Trump Moves to Kill California’s Dreams of High-Speed Rail

President Donald Trump’s feud with California Governor Gavin Newsom is hitting the Golden State’s long-awaited high-speed train project with yet another setback. The U.S. The Transportation Department announced Wednesday that it is rescinding $4 billion in funding for a bullet train project that aims to connect Los Angeles with San Francisco. “Governor Newsom and the complicit Democrats have enabled this waste for years,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P.

Auriga Space raises $6M to shoot rockets off an electromagnetic launch track

While U.S.-based companies are launching more payloads into orbit than ever before, they’re still limited by the inefficiency of conventional rockets. With rockets, most of the weight is in the propellant, not the payload, and a huge portion of it is burned simply battling Earth’s gravity and atmosphere. Auriga Space is aiming to change the launch game. Instead of a first-stage booster, the California-based startup is developing a launch track that will use electricity to power powerful magnets

Robinhood is up 160% this year, but several obstacles are ahead

Robinhood stock hit an all-time high Friday as the financial services platform continued to rip higher this year, along with bitcoin and other crypto stocks. Robinhood, up more than 160% in 2025, hit an intraday high above $101 before pulling back and closing slightly lower. The reversal came after a Bloomberg report that JPMorgan plans to start charging fintechs for access to customer bank data, a move that could raise costs across the industry.

Rivian unveils a new quad-motor R1 variant

Rivian has a new high-performance EV that you almost certainly don't need. On Tuesday, the automaker unveiled a quad-motor variant of the second-generation R1. The EV can do remarkable things, but it's positioned as more of an off-road brand magnet than a sensible purchase. The Gen 2 Quad R1T (truck) starts at $115,990, and its R1S (SUV) counterpart starts at $121,990. The Gen 2 Quad lineup packs serious power. The four motors combine to give it 1,025 horsepower and 1,198 lb-ft of torque. It ca
