#22> "OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft" Not sure why, but the word choice of "consumption" feels like a reverse Freudian slip to me.
Sometimes the person writing the copy is writing it because they talk good, not because they are the biggest proponent of the idea.
Give a clever, articulate person a task to write about something they don't believe in and they will include the subtlest of barbs, weak praise, or both.

#28> starting in Texas
Maybe I just don't get it. Texas seems like an awful place to do business.

#29~$125B per year would be 2-3% of all domestic investment. It's similar in scale to the GDP of a small middle income country.
If the electric grid — particularly the interconnection queue — is already the bottleneck to data center deployment, is something on this scale even close to possible? If it's a rationalized policy framework (big if!), I would guess there's some major permitting reform announcement coming soon.
