    She sounds like one of those feminazis… Google was right to fire her, she just wants to make noise and receive 5 million in compensation becaus her paper got rejected.

      Hold up, I’m not a fan of them but what makes you side with Google in this story? It is no secret that AI has bias due to the knowledge database that trains it. So what’s making you come to this conclusion? Genuine question. Is she hiding something from the explanation?

    Good story well done, open discussion, people will always worry about the unknown. Mystery stirs the imagination, continue to think positive and understand that exploration is exciting. Navigating a future, without censorship is quite adventurous.

    Her attitude towards the Google was surely not right. She crossed the limit and they are ways to properly convey your concerns but she became cocky and did cross the boundary.

    No apology for firing James Demore. Wait he’s not black and he’s a man so it’s no necessary. Okay.

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.
