Take the money and then give a bunch of reasons why you can’t do the thing they want. Corporations love greasy betrayals and corruption.
This is it
We’re finally hitting the ceiling of what the technology can do with what infrastructure we have available
For the longest time we’ve already known we wouldn’t be able to support nearly anywhere close to what’s required to make a net positive return on all the investments into various AI ventures.
Excuse me while I play my fiddle as Rome collapses
“The project has not been withdrawn” and “talks continue”. Microsoft certainly knew the energy situation when they started planning this, so it’s probably not a shocker to MS that the power supply will take some time to implement.
I assume Tesla energy will come in and save the day probably.
Investing in bringing solar energy and water treatment to the country, as opposed to installing something that will generate profits, seems like a good balance. But hey, that’s bad for MS or any foreign company operating there, until a Chinese company comes along and does that, then we’ll have the USA and EU talking about unfair competition and how China is dominating Africa.
What’s up with the title
