It's Just Technology
AI data centers could use up to 12% of all U.S. electricity by 2028. But how much power does it take to create one video and what really happens after you hit “enter” on that AI prompt?
WSJ’s Joanna Stern visited “Data Center Valley” in Virginia to trace the journey and then grills up some steaks to show just how much energy it all takes.
In the race to dominate generative AI, Big Tech firms haven’t just been building, they’ve been buying. But there’s something strange about most of the deals that they have struck. Companies like Meta, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, and Nvidia are embedding themselves deep within the AI ecosystem through strategic investments, exclusive partnerships, and talent acquisitions- with deals that stop just short of formal takeovers, but the economic impact of these deals it turns out – is indistinguishable from full control.
Most traders lose money not because they lack knowledge… but because they can’t control themselves.
This video reveals how I used three FREE AI tools to fix my trading psychology, eliminate emotional mistakes, and finally trade with discipline and consistency.

The new AI video model, SeeDance, is finally here, and it was worth the wait! In this video, I’m putting it through its paces and the good news is, it hits that sweet spot of being fast, cheap, and good. Plus, I’ve got a look at some mind-bending real-time voice-controlled AI video that you won’t want to miss.
We’re diving deep into SeeDance, the new AI video model from ByteDance. After a chaotic rollout with some initial bugs, SeeDance Pro is now widely available and working like a charm. I’ll be testing it out on Krea, and I have to say, their new image model is pretty impressive too!
I’ll walk you through my experiments with text-to-video and where I think this model really shines: image-to-video. We’ll look at everything from creating cinematic scenes to kung fu fights and some surprisingly good character acting and emoting. Plus, I’ll reveal SeeDance’s superpower that lets you create some really interesting cuts in your videos.
Later in the video, we’ll check out Dream Stream for some real-time, voice-controlled AI video generation that’s a lot of fun to play with. And a big thanks to Recraft for sponsoring this video and offering a sweet discount for you all!
Join filmmakers Dave Clark and Junie Lau as they share their creative journey and production process behind their latest films made with Flow, Google’s new AI filmmaking tool, at Tribeca Film Festival.

The boost in AI productivity is analgous to the adoption of electricity. Of course, in this case, it will also replace many workers. So, AI will represent positive and negative disruptions.
The race to creating the most efficient and most intelligent AI programs has some unlikely contenders who are hoping to redefine specific industries through more advanced models. Robinhood’s Vlad Tenev is developing “mathematical superintelligence” for provable accuracy in math and science, while SandboxAQ’s Jack Hidary backs “large quantitative models” trained on numbers, not words. As billions flow into AI, the future may not be one-size-fits-all models like ChatGPT.
The next ad you see on TikTok might not feature a human at all. With new features like avatars and instant video generation, brands now have the power to create ads with virtual “influencers.” In its latest update, TikTok rolled out several generative AI features for advertisers as a part of TikTok Symphony. This suite of generative AI tools is designed to help “streamline creative production and spark bold new ideas.”
