No government money was ever involved, no funding ever left anyone’s bank account, no “initiative” ever existed, and OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank have, in my opinion, conspired to mislead the general public about the existence and validity of a project for marketing purposes.
Who would have guessed.
it’s okay, joe taxpayer will end up covering these datacenter grifts when the music eventually stops i’m sufe
They will be repurposed as ICE detention centers, no worries!
Did you see the reports about ICE commissioning AI “smart glasses” that connect to facial recognition software and US immigration/passport/driver license databases to identify everyone the camera sees, by name and immigration status, in real time?
You need some pretty big data centers to process tens of thousands of those glasses all running at once, plus however many hundreds of thousands of other cameras and drones and whatever are linked to the same federal identification software.
Not to mention the real time tracking and networking from camera to camera the feds could theoretically use to track the identity and location of every human being within range of a camera, to, for example, get the immediate current location of whoever they want, or track back a person’s movements, and who they interacted with, for as far back as the camera records exist.
Good thing a bunch of those data centers are going broke and heading for a government buyout, right?
I share your concern around what is essential Microsoft recall in real life. As far as the data centers go, we should convert them all into libraries. At least they’ll be benefiting normal human beings then.
So, never getting buikt works out. Phew.
