Say you want to get a bicycle up and down hills with a minimal amount of pedal power. What do you do? The first option is simple: buy an electric bike. However, ebikes aren’t cheap. These days, the least expensive but still reliable ebike you can buy is Aventon Soltera 2.5, which costs around $1,200. You can rent an ebike, or find a city bike program that uses them, or, if you're really lucky, find an ebike in a lending library. Or you can just make your regular bike into an electric bike. That

A False Start on the Road to an All-American Bitcoin

US president Donald Trump waited a beat to soak up the applause. In front of a baying crowd of bitcoiners at crypto conference Bitcoin 2024 in July, he had just laid out his plan to turn the US into the world’s undisputed bitcoin mining superpower. “I want it to be mined, minted, and made in the USA,” he told the audience. “You’re going to be very happy with me—you’re going to be so happy.” Since returning to the White House, Trump has largely followed through on his crypto-related pledges: He

ChatGPT's next big upgrade, or the new foundational model 'GPT-5,' is being prepared for public release, but OpenAI won't share the specifics. In a recent interview, Sam Altman, CEO and co-founder of OpenAI, confirmed that ChatGPT's GPT-5 model release date is sometime in summer, but it depends on a number of factors.

Elon Musk responds to report that xAI is burning through $1 billion a month

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-03-07 17:29:00

In brief: Elon Musk's artificial intelligence startup, xAI, is burning through cash at an astounding rate. According to a new report, the company expects to spend at least $13 billion throughout all of 2025, equivalent to just over $1 billion every month. Musk, of course, has called the report "nonsense." Citing the usual anonymous people familiar with the matter, Bloomberg writes that the $500 million that xAI will earn this year looks positively tiny next to the $13 billion it plans to spend.
