Databricks is in the process of closing a fresh round at a $100 billion valuation, sources confirmed to TechCrunch. The round was originally reported by the Wall Street Journal.

XRP has just dropped below $3, but the market may not be as bearish as it looks. The price fell into the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement level at $2.96, a significant support zone.

XRP Holds Strong At $2.96 Support XRP’s latest…

Ethereum has been the standout, climbing from $1,386 in…

A BofA Global Research poll in early August found that about 70% of global investors expect stagflation below-trend growth alongside above-trend inflation in the next 12 months.

As I was waiting to start a recent episode of Live with Tim O’Reilly, I was talking with attendees in the live chat. Someone asked, “Where do you get your up-to-date information about what’s going on in AI?” I thought about the various newsletters and publications I follow but quickly realized that the right answer was “some chat groups that I am a part of.” Several are on WhatsApp, and another on Discord. For other topics, there are some Signal group chats. Yes, the chats include links to various media sources, but they are curated by the intelligence of the…
