Allbirds, Inc. Announces Expansion into AI Compute Infrastructure

I hope their foray into compute works out better than their shoemaking. Bought a pair, didn't even last a season before starting to fall apart (which would still be very on brand for the general AI sector).

On top of this whole thing just being ridiculous, $50mm is also just not a very impressive amount of money to build out an AI data center.

It's not an expansion. The first line says they sold the shoe business which will continue under someone else. The company is changing names and its line of business.
