xAI burned $6.4B last year. SpaceX’s IPO filing shows why the spending is far from over | TechCrunch
SpaceX's IPO filing reveals xAI lost $6.4 billion in 2025 while planning a massive Grok expansion — offering the first public look at Elon Musk's AI financials and more details about his ambitions.

So disappointing. I admired what this director has done previously, and this 40 second “trailer” is almost unwatchable. Not a single character is there; there is no there there.

NIGHTBORNE is the first full test AI film I have made. It was made using Seedance 2.0. I've been experimenting with AI for a couple of years, and it's now at the point where I want to tackle a full feature in this format. This is a 13-minute test start. It was made with real concept artists, and features the faces and voices of 32 real people. Barley Studios will be my new AI studio for creating my own films, the way Oats Studios was for traditional film and VFX. @Barleystudiosai Full film…

Tech ain't that deep - and that's a problem | deadSimpleTech
With that in mind, it became fairly clear to me that the tech industry these days has a depth problem: as much as tech is becoming quite a bit more complex, it's also becoming shallower. Learning new things in tech these days, as often as not, simply doesn't give me the same feeling of satisfaction or achievement as learning or writing C back in the first years of my career did. Being effective in tech these days feels as though it's less about understanding than it is about memorising a big li…

One of the nice things about not having ads or any kind of revenue from my site is that I no longer get the diamond-pressure bum-hole puckering feeling I used to get when I had a hosting company and a site would go down. I don’t even have monitoring set up and it’s freeing.
