    It’s incredible to see collaboration turn a crisis into a solution! Even in the middle of a global crisis, collaboration can turn destruction into regeneration 🙌

    Willie Smits is the only solution for Indonesia’s Eco what i truly see. Others, including me – we simply still have “the ideas”. So the most efficient is to find a way to support his projects or better join them

    This is such an important reminder 🌍 — fighting climate change isn’t just about cutting emissions from factories or cars. It’s about protecting the lungs of our planet — our forests, peatlands, and mangroves. These ecosystems store massive amounts of carbon, and every tree lost pushes us further from balance. Real change means responsible production, conscious consumption, and restoring what we’ve already destroyed. Nature doesn’t need us to save it — it needs us to stop destroying it.

Are orbital data centers all hype, or an actual AI infrastructure solution? l Equity Podcast

Tech companies are racing to build data centers in space, pitching orbital compute as the next frontier for AI infrastructure, even as the technical and economic realities remain far from clear. Add in OpenAI’s massive $122 billion round and Bluesky’s latest AI backlash, and the message is clear: The future of AI is being shaped as much by ambition and hype as it is by real-world constraints.

On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Kirsten Korosec, Anthony Ha, and Sean O’Kane unpack these massive capital bets, user backlash, and off-world compute plans along with Whoop’s major valuation and the literal downfall of robot Olaf.
