    It’s a novel tech so it’s not like Birkins was sitting on an opportunity for years. As much as I’m all for the artist, dilution is very interesting in the context of how fresh NFTs are for all of us. Thinking about adverse possession too.

Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller discusses the AI infrastructure company’s nearly $4 billion in fresh funding sending its valuation to almost $31 billion.

Araghi also discusses why heightened AI safety concerns could boost demand for cybersecurity and why she doesn’t expect the debate to derail funding or anticipated AI IPOs.
