True. I think there is some posturing involved in the 500b number as well.
Either that or its an excuse for everyone involved to inflate the prices.
Hopefully the datacenters are useful for other stuff as well. But also I saw a FT report that it's going to be exclusive to openai?
Also as I understand it these types of deals are usually all done with speculative assets. And many think the current AI investments are a bubble waiting to pop.
So it will still remain true that if jack falls down and breaks his crown, jill will be tumbling after.
