Subscribe today to never miss a single episode!Today's bonus episode is about the latest developments in the U.S. government's Stargate project, an initiative intended to bolster America's AI infrastructure and ensure the country's leadership in AI going forward (with a focus on China).This episode details a significant expansion of the Stargate AI infrastructure platform, announcing five new U.S. data center sites (in partnership with Oracle and SoftBank). This expansion accelerates the overall project, putting the coalition ahead of schedule to meet its initial $500 billion, 10-gigawatt commitment by the end of 2025. Specifically, new sites in Texas, New Mexico, Ohio, and an unnamed Midwest location will contribute significantly to the planned seven gigawatts of capacity and over $400 billion in investment over the next three years (creating tens of thousands of jobs in the process). The article highlights that the initiative, which began in January 2025, is progressing rapidly, with Oracle already deploying NVIDIA GB200 racks and SoftBank developing advanced data centers to power next-generation AI research. "It will not be AI that takes away the job of a technical writer, but rather another technical writer with deep AI skills," said Robbins.I am currently taking on new clients.
