gizmodo.com Bruce Gil 2025-12-20 21:45:36

Oracle is going all-in on its AI-focused cloud business, pouring billions into building massive new data centers. One site under construction in West Texas will reportedly cost the company around $1 billion just to keep the lights on. Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed sources familiar with the plans, that Oracle intends to spend more than $1 billion a year to run a new West Texas megasite on gas generators rather than wait for a utility hookup.

Gemini is launching in early access on smart displays and speakers in October, Google announced in a new blog post. Gemini for Home will replace Google Assistant on the company's smart home devices, and will apparently be available in both free and paid versions, implying Google is interested in expanding its subscription business, not unlike Amazon is with Alexa+.

AI Is Failing at an Overwhelming Majority of Companies Using It, MIT Study Finds

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-21 06:16:18

With AI software increasingly hogging the enterprise spotlight, companies and investors are spending like never before. In the first half of 2025, AI startups raised over $44 billion, more than all of 2024 combined. By the end of this year, a Goldman Sachs analysis estimates that total investments in AI will soar to almost $200 billion. But all that money is, to put it gently, a reckless gamble. In the US at least, investors have essentially bet the farm on the idea that AI will soon lead to ga

Perplexity’s Comet AI browser tricked into buying fake items online

bleepingcomputer.com Unknown 2025-12-21 05:31:13

A study looking into agentic AI browsers has found that these emerging tools are vulnerable to both new and old schemes that could make them interact with malicious pages and prompts. Agentic AI browsers can autonomously browse, shop, and manage various online tasks (like handling email, booking tickets, filing forms, or controlling accounts). Perplexity’s Comet is currently the primary example of agentic AI browsers. Microsoft Edge is also embedding agentic browsing features through a Copilot

Ordered Insertion Optimization in OrioleDB

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-12-19 20:54:47

When many sessions try to insert into the same B-tree leaf page, classic exclusive page locking serializes progress and wastes time on sleep/wake cycles. We’re introducing a batch page insertion path that lets the session holding the page lock insert for itself and its neighbors. The result: dramatically reduced lock waits, and big gains at high client counts (2X throughput boost starting from 64 clients in our benchmark).

The ‘Shin Godzilla’ Black-and-White Version Is Finally Getting a U.S. Theatrical Release

While we wait for news on what’s to come in the wake of Godzilla Minus One‘s massive success, this summer has seen the resurgence of Toho’s prior Godzilla reimagining in Hideaki Anno and Shinji Higuchi’s Shin Godzilla. It got a whole new wave of reappraisal as it stomped back into theaters last week with a brand new 4K remaster—and now, to celebrate its success, and much like Minus One did before it, the movie’s extending its theatrical return with a new black-and-white remastering.
