Elon called it when this was announced. Sam never had the money. Interesting to contrast those two characters. I think Sam is somewhat sociopathic, smooth salesman, not very technical, will say whatever needs to be said to get what he wants. Elon is on the spectrum and has bad social judgement and is just immature in a lot of ways, is very direct and means what he says when he says it, even if it's often unrealistic…

Edit: I suppose I'd better add that yes, the rules here are the same regardless of whom you're talking about. We don't want this kind of fulmination on HN because it degrades discussion quality and evokes worse from others.
"It[Stargate UK] was hailed by the British government at the time as a boost for its own ambitions to make the country a world leader in AI." How does having an AI heat farm in the UK help with that? It's still owned and controlled by a US entity. Or is "being a leader" synonymous with "being a customer?"
No no, you see, for a government 'leading in AI' is just spending the most money on it.
"Our 4-person team's AI bill this month was $100K and I've never been more proud of an invoice"
"If your $250K a year engineers aren't spending $250K a year in tokens, you aren't getting your money's worth"
"If you aren't using at least $500 of tokens a day, it's time for a performance improvement plan"
Earlier quoted context omitted.
OpenAI aren't the only ones who were increasing their datacenter capex.
No, but they are the ones who placed an order for 40% of the world's supply.
Man I thought this was about the new Stargate show which they are filming in the UK. I was trying to square why OpenAI would be in charge of that.

It feels very weird to read that Musk has "better intentions". Better intentions than Altman, or than all the stuff he is saying and doing?
