The Billion-Dollar Electrical Money Fire

Oh for fuck’s sake. Look at this shit. TechCrunch wants to tell us all about how OpenAI, Oracle, Nvidia, Microsoft, Google, and Meta are locked in a massive infrastructural pissing contest, spending more money than the GDP of small fucking nations just so their precious chatbots can hallucinate slightly faster. Hooray for progress, you bastards.

This article details the “Stargate” project and other multi-billion dollar data center deals—because apparently, what the world really needs right now is another 50,000 GPUs sucking down enough electricity to power a small city. These wankers are throwing around figures like $100 billion, $500 billion, like they’re playing Monopoly with real cash. Meanwhile, I’m sitting here watching the power grid sag like a cheap mattress because these fuckers need to train another model that tells people to put glue on their pizza.

Nvidia is laughing their silicon arses off to the bank, of course. Jensen Huang is probably bathing in champagne while these idiots fight over H100s and whatever the next overpriced space heater they’re flogging. Oracle’s Larry Ellison is involved too—because when you think “reliable infrastructure,” you definitely think of Oracle’s licensing department bleeding you dry while the database crashes. And Microsoft? They’re so deep in OpenAI’s pocket they’ve practically become a subsidiary. It’s a circle jerk of venture capitalists and tech bros burning fossil fuels to generate mediocre code completions.

The best part? They’re building these monstrosities in the desert, sucking up water for cooling while the locals pray for rain. Nothing says “future of humanity” like dehydrating Arizona so Meta can serve you slightly more relevant ads for shitty t-shirts. Fucking brilliant.

Anecdote of the day: Just yesterday some luser wandered into the server room complaining that the “cloud” felt slow. I explained—patiently, for the first thirty seconds—that the cloud isn’t actually floating above us, it’s these energy-vampire warehouses in Iowa. When he suggested we should “just add more RAM to the internet,” I may have accidentally tripped the fire suppression system. Funny how the Halon 1301 makes users run screaming while the servers just keep crunching numbers. Taught the bastard not to wear synthetic fibers in my data center, though.
