*Data centers require massive quantities of water for cooling.

OpenAI is pushing forward with its mission to power increasingly large AI models with the construction of five new data centers across the US, the company announced Tuesday.

The announcement of the new data centers marks the latest development in Project Stargate, the AI infrastructure plan OpenAI launched in January alongside the Trump administration, Oracle, SoftBank, and Emirati investment firm MGX. The project secured $500 billion in funding to build data centers over the next four years that will cumulatively generate 10 gigawatts of power -- enough to fuel roughly 7,500,000 homes for one year.

The five new data centers -- which will be built, respectively, in Shackelford County, Texas; Dona Ana County, New Mexico; Lordstown, Ohio; Milam County, Texas; and an undisclosed location in the Midwest -- will provide 7 gigawatts of power to be put toward OpenAI's proprietary AI models. According to OpenAI, that number keeps Stargate "ahead of schedule" to get to 10 gigawatts by the end of 2025

4.5 Million BTC to construct data centers to run AI models is mind blowing! Where is all this capital coming from? Are we all on the road to serfdom to be slaves to AI and its share holders?

All this for something that has yet to be proven to be profitable and increase productivity in a deflationary manner.

I really do hope we get the return on investment on this chase for AI supremacy because if we don’t it will be the biggest mis allocation of resources of all time!
