Seagate shares drop 8% as CEO warns new factories would take too long to meet AI chip demand

Seagate led a memory stock sell-off with shares falling over 8% after CEO Dave Mosley revealed the company can't quickly scale production to meet AI-driven demand. His comments at a JPMorgan conference highlighted the semiconductor industry's struggle with long lead times, as building new factories would slow technological growth while demand continues to significantly outstrip current capabilities.

Google Gemini switches to compute-based limits as user backlash forces quota increases

Google announced a fundamental shift in how it calculates Gemini usage limits, moving from daily prompt counts to a compute-based system that factors in task complexity. The change sparked immediate user frustration, particularly among developers using Antigravity for coding. Google responded by tripling Antigravity limits twice within days and introducing Gemini 3.5 Flash Low, but many users claim quotas remain lower than before.

States challenge utility profits as AI boom drives electric bills higher across six states

The AI boom is fueling a clash between state officials and utilities over soaring electric bills. Governors and attorneys general in six states are blocking rate increases as utility profits surged from $39 billion in 2021 to over $52 billion in 2024. Critics blame AI data centers' voracious energy demands for driving up costs while utilities defend investment returns as essential for grid reliability.

AI data centers trigger 76% electricity price spike as federal watchdog demands tech giants pay

Wholesale electricity prices in the largest US region jumped 76% due to AI data centers, affecting 67 million people. A federal watchdog now demands tech companies pay for their own power infrastructure to prevent further cost-shifting to households. The price surge—from $77.78 to $136.53 per megawatt-hour—could worsen unless data center load growth is addressed before June 2026.

Iceotope raises $26M Series B as AI rack densities push past what air cooling can handle

British precision liquid-cooling company Iceotope has closed a $26 million Series B funding round led by Two Seas Capital and Barclays Climate Ventures. The investment comes as next-generation AI hardware drives rack power densities toward 1 MW, a threshold where traditional air cooling and direct-to-chip systems can no longer maintain safe operating temperatures for silicon.

Elon Musk's xAI commits $2.8B for gas turbines despite lawsuit over illegal power plant

Elon Musk's xAI is doubling down on gas turbines with a $2.8 billion investment revealed in SpaceX's IPO filing, even as the NAACP sues the company for operating an illegal power plant in Mississippi. The company now runs 46 turbines at its data center, far exceeding the 15 it has permits for, while claiming a temporary-mobile exemption allows it to bypass Clean Air Act requirements.
