    Pandering to marxist BLM. Most tech companies in Silicon Valley are predominantly South Indian, along with Americans are many ethnicity. It’s a marxist-CCP push, disguised as black American. It’s power grab.

      How would you know? Do you code? Do you stay out here in Silicon Valley? More than likely, you don’t.

    It’s almost as if they just don’t want Black people in particular to have a seat at the table. Meritocracy is BS. Playing the model minority card is also BS.

    If some of these Black companies where pitched by non-Black people they would get funded. Period.

      You Think liberals hate black people? Lmao. Unbased theory. How many White working class people do they found?

      Truth is Black People haven’t founded any good or successful technology companies. Silicon valley obviously produces White greatness to the Fairchild semiconductor people to Apple to Facebook. Maybe White People are biased

      But racist? Like the kkk

      @TheMagicJIZZ You don’t know what Silicon Valley produces. There’s more Asians and Indians working in some of those companies than white people. Talk what you know, jackass. LMAO!!!

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.”

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…
