Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

OpenAI has inked a $30 billion annual contract with Oracle to lease 4.5 GW of computing power (1 GW ≈ the output of a nuclear reactor), doubling down on its AI infrastructure ambitions.

The deal fuels OpenAI’s $500 billion Stargate project, with Oracle building data centers across eight U.S. states.

Stargate aims to bolster U.S. dominance in AI, countering China’s growing influence and advancing AI integration into military systems.

But it’s not all rosy. Experts question Stargate’s financial viability. Elon Musk called the $500 billion investment “unrealistic,” claiming SoftBank lacks even $10 billion in confirmed funds. While OpenAI disputes this, funding details remain murky.

fuck them for smearing the Stargate name!

also for burning our planet, but that's obvious.
