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

gizmodo.com Lucas Ropek 2026-03-13 15:10:36

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

Yes I Will Read Ulysses Yes

When Richard Ellmann’s James Joyce hit the shelves in 1959, the sheer size of the book (842 pages, 100 longer than Ulysses ) was as dazzling as the degree of detail. Joyce, who had been dead for 18 years, vividly inhabited its chapters, getting drunk, going blind, spending money, spiting enemies, cogitating, and, of course, creating a series of works that immediately made literary history. Moving briskly across the first half of the 20th century (not just a single day in Dublin), Ellmann spun a

Spanish blackout report: Power plants meant to stabilize voltage didn’t

arstechnica.com Unknown 2026-03-13 19:15:24

The blackout that took down the Iberian grid serving Spain and Portugal in April was the result of a number of smaller interacting problems, according to an investigation by the Spanish government. The report concludes that several steps meant to address a small instability made matters worse, eventually leading to a self-reinforcing cascade where high voltages caused power plants to drop off the grid, thereby increasing the voltage further.

We’ve had a Denisovan skull since the 1930s—only nobody knew

A 146,000-year-old skull from Harbin, China, belongs to a Denisovan, according to a recent study of proteins preserved inside the ancient bone. The paleoanthropologists who studied the Harbin skull in 2021 declared it a new (to us) species, Homo longi. But the Harbin skull still contains enough of its original proteins to tell a different story: A few of them matched specific proteins from Denisovan bones and teeth, as encoded in Denisovan DNA.
