1+ min ago (409+ words) Energy and Natural Resources Reporter The amount of ERCOT's large load interconnection requests ballooned to more than 230 gigawatts this year, a massive increase from the 63 gigawatts reported in December 2024. The agency, which operates the electrical grid for most of Texas, reported "many" of the interconnection requests exceed one gigawatt per site. More than 70% of the large loads were data centers. The number of applications " and the amount of power requested by each client " underscore how the economic benefits of the artificial intelligence boom are colliding with the reality of Texas increasingly strained resources. This year, ERCOT received 225 large load interconnection requests through mid-November, compared to 152 requests for the comparable 2022 to 2024 time frame, according to data published ahead of ERCOT's board of directors meetings this week. The most requests were submitted in the second quarter, with 78 requests totaling more than 70,000 megawatts....

5+ min ago (434+ words) While Wall Street and Silicon Valley are obsessed with artificial intelligence, many businesses don't have the luxury to fixate on AI because they're too busy trying to grind out more revenue. At the Fortune Brainstorm AI conference in San Francisco on Monday, Intuit CEO Sasan Goodzari acknowledged the day-to-day priorities of users of his company's products, such as QuickBooks, TurboTax, Mailchimp and Credit Karma. "I remind ourselves at the company all the time: customers don't care about AI," he told Fortune's Andrew Nusca. "Everybody talks about AI, but the reality is a consumer is looking to increase their cash flow. A consumer is looking to power their prosperity to make ends meet. A business is trying to get more customers. They're trying to manage their customers, sell them more services." Of course, AI still powers Intuit's platforms, which help companies…...

" CIX (@cixliv) December 8, 2025 That gave me immediate flashbacks to a scene from a movie that I was probably too young to have watched when I did: Robocop 2. In it, OCP, the overtly evil tech warfare corporation that built Robocop, is trying to make a newer, better replacement " using deranged criminals. In a brief montage that is simultaneously delightful and mentally scarring, we see different test subjects going berserk in their own unique ways. One of them rips its helmet off to reveal a screaming human skull before…...

8+ min ago (246+ words) OpenAI CEO Sam Altman was at the center of Silicon Valley's most visible publicity push in recent memory Monday night when he appeared on The Tonight Show. In a predictably softball interview with host Jimmy Fallon, Altman explained how ChatGPT has helped him alleviate the anxiety that comes with being a new parent. As the fears around the future of AI continue to mount, the subtext was almost too obvious: Technology can help people understand their kids better. We should welcome it. The timing of that particular message was not by mistake. Of late, the tech establishment has gone on a charm offensive as age-verification laws sweep the US and the world, and the public backlash to AI intensifies. Those concerns have only accelerated a concentrated campaign out of the Valley to better control the narrative, which has included everything…...

28+ min ago (258+ words) The US champions AI as an autonomous agent, a content creator. China exports a vision of AI as a digital nervous system for the real economy For the Global South, the critical question is more likely to be whether that reasoning capability can optimise fertiliser distribution in a drought or balance a fragile power grid. As nations in Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America increasingly integrate Chinese AI into their technology, Western observers often characterise this trend as a simple search for bargain-bin prices or a disregard for data privacy. This view is reductive. The Global South's embrace of Chinese AI is not merely economic; it is civilisational. It stems from a profound philosophical alignment between China's "material pragmatism" " a focus on tangible utility " and the indigenous values of developing nations. At the heart of China's technological approach lies the…...

28+ min ago (620+ words) December 9, 2025 / 7:30 PM CST / CBS Minnesota President Trump said he would soon provide "one rulebook" for regulations, sparking some concern a move by the White House would upend individual states' efforts at putting safeguards around the technology. In a'social media post Monday, the president said the U.S. is "beating all countries" when it comes to developing AI, "but that won't last long if we are going to have 50 States, many of them bad actors, involved in rules and approval process." He vowed to sign an executive order later this week. "I will be doing a One Rule Executive Order this week," Mr. Trump wrote. "You can't expect a company to get 50 approvals every time they want to do something. That will never work!" Though the details of any forthcoming directive aren't fully clear, U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar, the senior Democrat from Minnesota, said…...

28+ min ago (620+ words) An Indian medical student studying in China has gone viral for a series of Instagram videos documenting what she calls the "next level" of healthcare technology in Chinese hospitals. Pari, an MBBS student, has been posting detailed walkthroughs of hospital systems, workflows and behind-the-scenes processes in China. Robots And Automation Inside Hospitals In her videos, Pari shows robots delivering supplies and blood samples across the hospital. She records a robotic blood delivery system where samples travel through the building in sealed boxes that move through the air, similar to a zipline. She explains that this keeps the process sterile and prevents human handling. She also shows robots working inside hospital pharmacies. These machines pick and deliver medicines automatically, reducing waiting time and avoiding manual errors. Digital Check-Ins And Clean Hospital Wards Pari's Instagram videos also show how hospitals in China…...
