In Brief Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has stated that HBO Max will become more expensive, while also making it harder to share passwords, as first reported by The Hollywood Reporter. Zaslav spoke about the future of the streaming service at the Goldman Sachs Communacopia + Technology Conference. “The fact that this is quality — and that’s true across our company, motion picture, TV production, and streaming quality — we all think that gives us a chance to raise price,” he said. “We

Looking ahead, an academic at a public university in Texas, where the money granted for indirect costs funds student salaries, said he plans to hire fewer students for his own lab. “It’s very sad that I cannot promise [positions] at this point because of this,” he told us, adding that the cap could also affect the competitiveness of public universities in Texas, since schools elsewhere may fund their student researchers differently.

Electric bill may be paying for big data centers' energy use

news.ycombinator.com Ari Peskoe 2025-10-06 07:50:03

In the race to develop artificial intelligence, large technology companies such as Google and Meta are trying to secure massive amounts of electricity to power new data centers. Electric utilities see the prospect of earning large profits by providing electricity to these power-hungry facilities and are competing for their business by offering discounts not available to average consumers. In our paper Extracting Profits from the Public, we explain how utilities are forcing regular ratepayers to

Are OpenAI and Anthropic losing money on inference?

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-20 13:15:22

I keep hearing what a cash incinerator AI is, especially around inference. While it seems reasonable on the surface, I've often been wary of these kind of claims, so I decided to do some digging. I haven't seen anyone really try to deconstruct the costs in running inference at scale and the economics really interest me. This is really napkin math.

As an Ohio native and a Buckeye fan since birth, I am filled with nerves and excitement at the start of every college football season. And I'm feeling all the feelings even more so this year with the defending champion Ohio State Buckeyes opening the season against the preseason No. 1 Texas Longhorns and with a quarterback making his first college start. I'll know a lot more about this year's team after Saturday's game -- if I'm able to watch it. Adding to my anxious feelings this week is the o

Token growth indicates future AI spend per dev

Kilo just broke through the 1 trillion tokens a month barrier on OpenRouter for the first time. Each of the open source family of AI coding tools (Cline, Roo, Kilo) is growing rapidly this month. Part of this growth is caused by Cursor and Claude starting to throttle their users. We wrote about Cursor at the beginning of July and about Claude in the second half of July. Their throttling sent users to the open source family of AI coding tools causing the increases you see in the graphs above. C
