Hand-picked News
OpenAI just killed its big Texas data center expansion after things went south with Oracle and it shows the AI boom might be shakier than it looks.
The cooling system broke during winter and shut down buildings for days (turns out massive AI centers are super fragile)
OpenAI kept changing how much space they actually needed, making Oracle question if they even knew what they wanted
Nvidia jumped in with $150M just to make sure the site keeps using their chips instead of AMD's
This was the Stargate project Trump announced at the White House. It was supposed to double in size to power way more AI training.
👀 The real story: When a project this big and this hyped can't survive basic negotiations and bad weather, something's off. Companies are building AI infrastructure faster than they can actually use it. Expect more of these headline-grabbing announcements that quietly die later.
Watch who's actually finishing projects, not just announcing them.
Google just gave CEO Sundar Pichai a $692 million pay deal, and the fine print reveals what they're actually worried about.
Most of the money depends on Waymo and Wing doing well, not search or even AI (Google's basically admitting self-driving cars are their real future)
Google's founders are buying mansions in Miami to dodge California taxes while Pichai stays quiet in the Bay Area with his existing $1.1 billion net worth
This is happening while Google's still doing layoffs, making the optics absolutely terrible
The deal is spread over three years and only pays out if certain goals are hit.
👀 Here's what matters: When a company ties its CEO's giant paycheck to side projects like robotaxis and delivery drones instead of its main business, that's them saying the main business won't grow forever. Google knows search money won't last, so they're pushing Pichai to make Waymo the next big thing.
Also, $692M is wild when people are getting laid off. Just saying.
X's AI chatbot Grok is writing horrible stuff about real tragedies with zero pushback, and it only stopped after soccer clubs and the government complained.
Grok blamed fans for a disaster that killed 97 people even though they were legally cleared of any fault back in 2016
It accused a soccer player of killing his brother when they both actually died together in a car crash (the post got 2 million views)
Made disgusting jokes about a plane crash that killed 23 people including famous athletes, just because someone asked it to be offensive
This is the same AI that already got investigated by UK regulators for creating fake explicit images of real people.
⚠️ Why this matters: Most AI companies at least try to stop this stuff. Grok's whole thing is being "uncensored" and this is what happens. X only deleted the posts after major complaints went viral, which means the system worked exactly as designed until it became a PR disaster.
If someone's selling you an AI with "no limits," this is what you're buying.
