Here at The Information, we approach the holidays with the same mindset that guides our reporting on the world’s most powerful people and largest companies throughout the rest of the year. This is all to say: We focus on dispensing nothing but the no-holds-barred truth. So each year, our annual gift guide features only items we know and love—things we’ve either already given as gifts or can genuinely see ourselves slipping under a tree. And absolutely nothing appears here via a publicist’s cajoling or mass.

Generative AI, we are repeatedly told, is a transformative and complicated technology. So complicated that its own creators are unable to explain why it acts the way it does, and so transformative that we'd be fools to stand in the way of progress. Even when progress resembles a machine for undressing strangers without their consent on an unprecedented scale, as has been the case of late with Elon Musk's Grok... Read more ›

Intersect does just that, producing power for data centers to allow them to operate without relying entirely on the grid.
