The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.
The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman.
Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements.
As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system. This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle.
This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services.
All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.
At current prices of money, this project has to return 20 billion in profit, and likely operate on 50 billion revenue at least to cover the energy costs
What are these hundreds of thousands of jobs? I swear the only reason capitalists are investing in AI is so they can try to get rid of workers
Lmao oh man the AI crash is going to hit the west haaaaard
the re-industrialization of the United States
oh wait, you’re serious. let me laugh even harder
I think there is a possible outcome where the Internet and all connected devices become so saturated with AI bullshit that we just go back to talking to each other
It’s already happening. Many of my friends have logged off/deleted accounts and are doing more IRL social things. I’ve loaded my schedule up with in-person events and hang out with people as often as I can. This is the only place on the internet (aside from sites) that is worth looking at.
How the fuck are you going to re-industrialize by making the internet full of shit?
the good news is the US has been de-industrialized for so long people don’t actually know what an industrialized economy is supposed to look like
They’re going to make our brains rot until AGI can catch up with the new low bar of human intelligence.
