arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-11-30 18:28:29

On ‘Strange New Worlds’, What’s a Little Trauma Bonding Among Friends?

gizmodo.com James Whitbrook 2025-12-02 09:30:19

Across four episodes already, we’ve switched episode-to-episode from pretty grim circumstances (a Gorn attack here, a zombie outbreak there) to lighthearted silliness (an encounter with Trelane here, a holodeck murder mystery there). Even as those individual episodes haven’t all entirely worked to varying degrees, this back-and-forth has only really helped to make the show feel a bit aimless. So while this week’s

Electricity Prices are Going Up, and AI Is to Blame

gizmodo.com Aj Dellinger 2025-12-11 09:25:59

Your electricity bill has likely gone up over the course of the past year. That’s because you’re effectively paying an AI tax. According to a report from Axios, the cost of electricity is climbing across the country, driven primarily by the increasing energy demands of massive data centers being built to train and run AI models. Data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration showed the cost of 1 kilowatt-hour of electricity rose from 16.41 cents to 17.47 cents over the course of the past
