YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

OpenAI and Oracle have announced a massive, $7 billion data center in Michigan to power artificial intelligence.

The companies say a 250-acre data center will start construction next year outside of Ann Arbor, Mich.

The data center boom in the U.S. is placing strain on local power grids and water systems, as the always-on computer networks suck up energy and have to be cooled to avoid over-heating. This latest announcement stoked new fears from investors that companies are pumping billions into a technology that has yet to prove the promise of its backers.
