For what? There isn’t a backlog now. And everyone already running out of ideas to ask it. Without the bot traffic there wouldn’t be much ai use at all. Without warfare and ai vs ai what will be the use. Other than my datacenters D is bigger than your data centers D. Techbros being techbros. Thanks for the info
@Bobsacamano225AI data centers aren’t for ignorant consumers. Have you used Slack as an MCP server to AI agents for GTM engineering? AI is beyond prompting. Read a book. Or get ChatGPT to read the book & summarize it for you!
Pure fraud 😅😅😅 Nvidia Jensen wants to keep the dice rolling
build it im buying more nvidia
This is just blatant fraud and market manipulation as usual. OpenAI is struggling to even pay for the Stargate project with Oracle and Softbank, they silently downsized the project and everything.
OpenAI’s 10GW AI data center in Ohio is genius. It bought federal land that was used for Uranium enrichment which means no state, county, or city laws apply. Once the fed gov takes 10% ownership of OpenAI, the AI data center becomes part of National security!
Sounds like we need to buy Nvidia?
Is this equity financing or debt financing that Nvidia is trying to offer?? If latter, it is the perfect form of circular financing.
so just Nvidia paying for all that cuz OPENAI got NO money
