alt Hacker NewsAny clues to how they plan to invest $500 billion dollars? What infrastructure are they planning that will cost that much?

I'll make a wild guess that they will be building data centers and maybe robotic labs. They are starting with 100B of committed by mostly Softbank, but probably not transacted yet, money.
> building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States
The carrot is probably something like - we will build enough compute to make a supper intelligence that will solve all the problems, ???, profit.
Yachts, mansions, private jets, maybe some very expensive space heaters.
This could be a clue
Reasonably speaking, there is no way they can know how they plan to invest $500 billion dollars. The current generation of large language models basically use all human text thats ever been created for the parameters... not really sure where you go after than using the same tech.
I’m more interested in how they plan to draw the rest of the damn owl.
hopefully nuclear power plants
They are going to buy 50 $10B nuclear aircraft carriers and use them as a power source.
Congress.
That was literally my question. Is this basically just for more datacenters, NVidia chips, and electricity with a sprinkling of engineers to run it all? If so, then that $500bn should NOT be invested in today's tech, but instead in making more powerful and power efficient chips, IMO.
