"we are doing no worse" : is that the royal we? Because normal people absolutely are doing a lot worse over that last couple of decades.

I fear “we are not the richest country in the world” is an unreasonable standard for claiming chronic mismanagement.

Again with the "we". Per capita statistics are great distraction from neofeudalism.

What was the per capita GDP of Wessex?

Openai is handling their demand without any stargates. Then they announce a mega facility in the USA saying they are future planning.

Then they announce one for middle east, and perhaps the assumption is $ being thrown at them but surely they dont need that much capacity.

Now the UK? Confirming superintelligence.

Only 8,000 GPUs to start and potentially 31,000 over time. This is very small compared to Stargate Norway (announced almost 2 months ago), which starts out with 100,000 GPUs and planned (!) to have 250,000.

Norway has advantage of lots of power and lots of investment from Aker who are presumably involved in supplying said power.

Yes. But interesting that Stargate Norway is so much more significant. Not that it should be directly connected, but UK has more than 10x the population of Norway. So given a very simplified glance at the situation, Norway seems to have a strong position for the coming years in AI.

I’m sorry but this is the best way to objectively measure anything. Otherwise you are just holding up your vibes to refute my numbers which is completely unscientific.

It's maybe simpler than I thought at first.

The Norwegian deployment will be cheap to run and so easy to sell. It's clearly intended for people outside of Norway to use. So it's big.

The UK deployment will be expensive to run and only people who are limited to UK for regulatory reasons will want it. There are few such customers so it's small.

This kind of science/tech investment is and has been catnip for UK government, regardless of political party, for years. They're out of ideas to stimulate growth, and AI is their hail Mary. No one involved seems to be able to explain why it will work.

If they really wanted to stimulate growth the UK government would concentrate of giving us the cheapest electricity in the world.

Going someway towards that would boost almost all sectors of the economy.

Numbers exist mate.

The fact you don't know about them isn't my problem.

Dividing the kings wealth by the number of serfs in his kingdom doesn't make the serfs any richer.
