Remember, this is all about OpenAI convincing investors to shovel more money into their furnace.
They are not profitable. They have no realistic path to being profitable. Their only hope for survival is to South Seas Company their through round after round of investor funding. And to do that they have to create the appearance of near unlimited demand for their services, and therefore for additional capacity to run those services.
The writing is on the wall. Microsoft and Amazon, two of the biggest players in the compute space, both of which also run their own AI projects, have both massively scaled back their plans for future compute expansion. If anyone should be building out like crazy it’s them. If anyone has a clear idea of what the actual demand is, it’s them. If Amazon and Microsoft are out, this thing is fucked.
OpenAI is fucked. Sam Altman knows it. But if he can keep the illusion going, the money train doesn’t have to stop. Yet.
It’s looking like we’re doing a China again.
Companies are dumping tons of money and putting their vital resources in the UAE cause it’s cheaper and/or they can get away with murder.
This will not end well and we will end up creating a new super power nation cause capitalists hate the poor so much here that they will risk the nations standing to make an extra buck.
Imagine making deals with people who would stone you to death if they weren’t after your money.
My first thought as well. As a gay man, you couldn’t pay me to step foot in that country.
UAE ≠ Saudi Arabia
This is just plain anti-Arab racism. They’re not all alike. I deeply dislike the Emirati government but you’re not helping.
The members of UAE still outlaw LGBTQ people and sentence them to death for being LGBTQ.
So does the Caribbean and much of the developing world, but like UAE these old laws are still on the books but not enforced. Can you show me an example of death penalty being carried out in UAE for homosexuality in the last few decades?
On one hand, there is a lot of potential to use solar power. On the other hand, cooling that isn’t going to be a bitch.
Simple, they’ll just waste drinking water on it yet again.
try doing that in a DESERT or arid country.
Like the UAE?
they seemingly want to do it in brazil too
