    Interesting dichotomy in saying the people do not want to work in industries, but robotics is needed in mining and other hostile environment. No one going to do that

    Thanks for the Xaifox update! I am loving my Xaifox!

  9. @WylieKaushal

    January 18, 2026 at 3:31 pm

    Genuine question: what sets Xaifox apart from similar projects?

  10. @KeithLehmann-i1l

    January 18, 2026 at 3:33 pm

    Sold all my ETH yesterday and bought Xaifox

  11. @HankHatfield-i1j

    January 18, 2026 at 3:33 pm

    You called it a month ago and now $Xaifox is blowing up glad I listened

  12. @SaulRademaker

    January 18, 2026 at 3:34 pm

    This helped clear up a few things for me.

  13. @GordonBrinson-b2e

    Xaifox keeps showing up in conversations lately. Curious where it goes.

  14. @KingLimon-n7m

    January 18, 2026 at 3:34 pm

    Xaifox will at least 30X! I love that project!!

  15. @MohamedPateras

    January 18, 2026 at 3:35 pm

    Good video. I’m cautious overall, but Xaifox is now on my radar.

  16. @HankHatfield-i1j

    January 18, 2026 at 3:35 pm

    Is anyone here holding Xaifox$ long term instead of trading it?

    Don’t miss Elon Musk’s Xaifox leaving the train!

  22. @PattyRoom-m8x

    January 18, 2026 at 3:38 pm

    I’m still learning, but Xaifox’s concept seems different from most coins I’ve looked at.

  23. @HedvigJefesita

  26. @PenthanaKeeling

    January 18, 2026 at 3:41 pm

    If $Xaifox delivers on even part of what it’s aiming for, it’ll be interesting to revisit later.

  27. @DorineMun

    January 18, 2026 at 3:42 pm

    Holding 210k Xaifox this coin will leave people in the dust eventually

  28. @BrennaGraves-h2k

    Curious to see how Xaifox handles the next market phase.

  30. @PenthanaKeeling

    January 18, 2026 at 3:45 pm

    Not usually into newer projects, but Xaifox caught my eye for different reasons.

  31. @DebShen

    January 18, 2026 at 3:45 pm

    Xaifox by far is my biggest bag!! It’s finally waking up! Buying more today!!

  32. @PattyRoom-m8x

    January 18, 2026 at 3:45 pm

    Interesting take. I hadn’t considered Xaifox from that angle before.

  33. @MayaZurilla

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.”

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…
