Stargate Project
Kyle Wiggers (OpenAI, Hacker News):
OpenAI says that it will team up with Japanese conglomerate SoftBank and with Oracle, among others, to build multiple data centers for AI in the U.S.
The joint venture, called the Stargate Project, will begin with a large data center project in Texas and eventually expand to other states. The companies expect to commit $100 billion to Stargate initially and pour up to $500 billion into the venture over the next four years.
They promise it will create “hundreds of thousands” of jobs and “secure American leadership in AI.”

Microsoft is also involved in Stargate as a tech partner. So are Arm and Nvidia.

Why burn that name on a project like this? When I read the headline, for just the briefest of moments I hoped this was about some sort of actual space breakthrough.
It’s actually kind of the opposite.
Just read that they managed a stable plasma loop for 1000 seconds in a fusion plant.
Put money into that kind of thing please.
@Kristoffer yeah but no actual Stargate!
Maybe this will help solve all of humanity's problems. Just like Bitcoin.
