Nvidia's new data-centre design can cool AI chips with almost no water — a genuine efficiency leap. But "the water challenge is largely solved" is a bigger claim than the evidence supports. Here's what it covers, and what it leaves out.

General Motors installed about 50 collaborative robots at its flagship Detroit EV plant months after laying off 1,300 workers. The headline writes itself — robots took the jobs. The real story is more tangled, and more useful.

Every advanced AI chip is patterned by a machine from one Dutch company, ASML. It holds roughly 90% of the lithography market and is the only maker of the EUV tools that make cutting-edge chips possible. Here is why that concentration matters — and why the challengers have not broken it yet.

The company behind the AI image generator says it has built a 60-second full-body scanner "as powerful as MRI" and plans to put it in spas. It has never made hardware, holds no medical clearance, and by its founder's own account the device barely uses AI. Here is what has actually been shown.
