Keeping generative AI models running requires astronomical amounts of electricity — and the United States' aging power grid is struggling to handle the load. As CNBC reports, experts are worried that the massive surge in interest in the tech could prove to be a major infrastructure problem. Transformers used to turn raw electricity into usable power are on average 38 years old and have quickly become a prime source of power outages. Building new transmission lines has also proven unpopular, since the extra costs tend to be passed onto local residents, raising their electric bills.

The YouTube ad blocker cat-and-mouse game between Google and ad blockers continues with a new episode that might deliver a big win to Google. The company has been trying to ban ad blocker extensions on YouTube for quite a while, though these programs have always found a way to circumvent Google’s ideas. This seemed to indicate that Google might never be able to stop all ad blocker apps out there completely. But also, that extensions that block YouTube ads might not always work.

In a major — though unsurprising — U-turn, Meta-formerly-Facebook has euthanized its confusing celebrity AI clones, The Information reported yesterday. For those unfamiliar with the unfortunate celeb avatars, Meta last year unveiled a surprisingly large cast of chatbot personas with which Instagram users could interface. These personas bore the faces of real famous people, but were bewilderingly presented as entirely separate fictional characters. Kendall Jenner, for example, was the face of "Billie," a "ride-or-die" older sister who used phrases like "no problem, boo!" and "spill the tea!"; Tom Brady played "Bru," a "wisecracking sports debater" with a questionable stance on Colin Kaepernick's NFL career; Paris Hilton played "Amber," a detective who helped users "solve whodunnits"; among others.
