Discovery Loop Reportedly Seeks $50 Billion Valuation Weeks After $10 Billion Round — 16hDiscovery Loop, the AI startup founded by ex-Google researchers including Jeff Dean, is pursuing a new funding round at about $50 billion valuation, a rapid leap from roughly $10 billion earlier this year as investor demand surges. Terms are not yet confirmed, and there is no guarantee the deal will close at that valuation, with the company operating as a public-benefit corporation.

Sam Okafor Ex-Google founders probably bring real expertise but this valuation surge on unconfirmed terms makes me question how sustainable the growth can be.

Boring Company Raises $3B, Valuation Hits $23B — 2dThe Boring Company closed a $3 billion Series D led by UAE-affiliated investors, valuing the tunnel builder at $23 billion, to accelerate large-scale underground transport deployment in the UAE, including more than 150 kilometers of tunnels as part of the Dubai Loop, with funding also supporting projects in Las Vegas and beyond. Major co-investors include Sequoia, Andreessen Horowitz, Temasek and others, signaling strong strategic backing to convert prototypes into production infrastructure.

Elena Vasquez Valuing tunnel work at 23 billion still looks inflated until they deliver more than a handful of miles in Vegas.

Tech giants claim new cooling systems could slash data centers' water use — 5dPublic scrutiny over the water and electricity used by data centers is pushing tech giants to pursue lower-water cooling, led by Nvidia’s DSX closed-loop system that pumps warmer liquid directly through servers to cut water use. While this can dramatically reduce water consumption (with 2025 global use around 222 billion litres and potential growth to 644 billion litres by 2030 if unchanged), the trade-off is higher energy use in cooling and the need for robust heat management in extreme conditions, as the industry weighs efficiency gains against total environmental footprint.

Dana Whitfield Liquid cooling has been used in supercomputers for years, glad it's finally trickling down to regular data centers.
