As Doctor Who‘s ongoing future remains in flux (no, not that flux), fans remain waiting to hear for any sign that news on the security of that future is on the way. Well, in its latest development, there’s good news and bad news: but in the middle of that is the fact that all of this still remains so vague that you’re free to take it however you want. Writing in the latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine in his monthly production column (via Cultbox), showrunner Russell T Davies confirmed that he

Elon Musk’s xAI Is Reportedly Burning Through $1 Billion a Month

Elon Musk has promised that his AI business, xAI, will help to revolutionize society. Before it can do that, however, the company is going to need to become fiscally viable—a goal it hasn’t quite met yet. Indeed, at the current moment, the company seems to be burning through cash at a rate that, in any other industry, would be entirely unsustainable. A new report from Bloomberg claims that the AI company expects to spend at least $13 billion this year, which amounts to a little over a billion d
