Big Tech's A.I. Data Centers Are Driving Up Electricity Bills for Everyone

news.ycombinator.com Ivan Penn 2025-11-20 23:54:57

But even with their expressed good will, getting the companies to make consumers whole will not be easy because determining how much large users like data centers should pay is not straightforward. The business of keeping America’s lights on is mostly about two things: supplying reliable electricity and figuring out what to charge to deliver it. In recent years, big tech companies have inserted themselves into debates over both. They lobby lawmakers and regulators, and they are pitching their o

Why it’s a mistake to ask chatbots about their mistakes

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-27 00:52:39

When something goes wrong with an AI assistant, our instinct is to ask it directly: "What happened?" or "Why did you do that?" It's a natural impulse—after all, if a human makes a mistake, we ask them to explain. But with AI models, this approach rarely works, and the urge to ask reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of what these systems are and how they operate. A recent incident with Replit's AI coding assistant perfectly illustrates this problem. When the AI tool deleted a production datab

The first quarter of the 21st century has seen seismic shifts in the politics, society, and economy of the United Kingdom. As economics thinkers and graduates, Rethinking Economics is concerned that economics education remains out of step with these shifts.

Intel, Not AMD, Could Be the Secret to Kickass Next-Gen Handheld PCs

Intel is an empire past its prime and is beset on all sides. Just as Paul “Muad’Dib” Atreides of Dune monologued on the many futures he perceived, there is “a narrow way through” for the beleaguered chipmaker. The way forward could be with a newfound gaming focus on its next-gen chips. Its desktop CPUs may be getting a gamer-centric upgrade, but the real surprise may be how it could win out in a market it has yet to truly compete in: handheld gaming.
