    capitol riot means a covid19 petri dish; we need another lockdown.
    we have streaming and don’t need to travel or go to a commercial theater and avoid
    covid19, mass shooting (gun sales doubled in 2020), police killing nonwhites like George Floyd, and exploding RVs like in Nashville, capitol rioters bringing pipe bombs

      That’s right, I’m starting to get on board with the Democrats, shut down the whole country, restrict those that opposed that side at all excetera. Good for Airbnb for cancelling people’s trips Retreats Etc. Flood control, controlled by the government in the news. You’re right. Shut this country down completely Pier. Except for travelers / the border excetra of course. Oh yeah, and the protesters / writers about police Injustice, and or conservative / Republican opposition . I guess that would be restricting or attacking American values or something

    This is terriable. Air BNB is a puppet of the us goverment talking orders under the verbage of guidance, saying blocking, and working profiling, outages, and govement assisted responses for several years. Listen to it twice. i hope were not going to agree to lose our rights for our own good and have them returned in the future. This is the new age of corperate goverment.

    I understand this as a business decision, but anyone that can’t see the problematic precedent that this and other recent big tech actions sets needs to open their eyes. Congress needs to draft legislation to create rules around what large tech companies can and can’t do when it comes to de-platforming.

Crusoe CEO Chase Lochmiller discusses the AI infrastructure company’s nearly $4 billion in fresh funding sending its valuation to almost $31 billion. He also discusses how it will fuel the company’s push to build AI infrastructure spanning data centers, cloud computing and managed AI services. He says Crusoe could eventually enter the public markets and pushes back against growing opposition to data centers, arguing the industry has a “marketing issue” and needs to better communicate its impact on water, jobs and local tax revenue. He joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”

He argues companies can collaborate on safety standards without suspending antitrust rules, and that existing consumer-protection and liability laws already provide tools for addressing harms caused by AI.

Anthropic Investor Franklin: AI Safety Concerns Won’t Slow Spending

Calls to “pace” development at the AI frontier are unlikely to translate into a slowdown in infrastructure spending, according to Sara Araghi, Franklin Templeton Portfolio Manager and Franklin Venture Partner. She argues that even if labs temper some model training, growing inference demand will continue to require enormous amounts of compute. Araghi also discusses why…

She argues that even if labs temper some model training, growing inference demand will continue to require enormous amounts of compute. 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.
