BlackRock and Microsoft plan to launch a more than $30 billion fund to invest in artificial intelligence infrastructure to build data centers and energy projects, the companies said on Tuesday.
AI models, especially those used for deep learning and large-scale data processing, require substantial computational power, leading to higher energy consumption.
The computing requirements for AI have dictated that tech companies string together thousands of chips in clusters to achieve the necessary amount of data crunching power, leading to a surge in the demand for these specialized data centers....

This should be treated like a utility and no one should have a monopoly on AI infrastructure. Screw Gates and the rest of the oligarchy. They surely aren’t doing this because of their altruism.
Billionaire Eric Schmidt said he was disappointed that the military had failed to field killer robots in Ukraine.
He also advocates stealing ideas and data in the name of the cause, what ever Mr.Schmidt determines the cause to be.
The cause could easily be to eliminate those pesky Mega Magas, who knows ?
It is odd to me how all of a sudden everyone is pushing AI. It is as if someone sprinkled AI knowledge and tools from an aeroplane which flew across the World. Many websites has I frequent suddenly are preaching they have AI. Please, try it! For months I have been wondering what is up?
“Blue Screen of Death II”
BTTT
Nobody ever talks about the carbon footprint of data centers.....
because they think AI will help them control everything
OMG... please, if you’re going to throw stones, please at least be informed. GATES HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS! He’s been disconnected from Microsoft for a decade. Not saying he’s not a terrible person just that he’s not involved in this work.
...and lower headcount.
I like to argue social issues with the Brave AI when I am bored. It is very eye opening to find out that it marginalizes White people consistently, everyone else is “just great”!
That said, the rule is, "Ask stupid questions, get stupid answers."
Black Rock, who keeps having future Trump asassination attempt gunmen in their commercials? No thanks.
“because they think AI will help them control everything”
Exactly right.
Ok my friend. Let’s get informed about the facts. Gates is STILL #9 in the top ten ownership stake holders. And those above him in the very same club are EVEN WORSE than Gates.
Ownership
The 10 largest shareholder of Microsoft in early 2024 were:
Shareholder name Percentage
The Vanguard Group 8.9%
BlackRock 5.6%
State Street Corporation 4.0%
Steve Ballmer 4.0%
Fidelity Investments 2.9%
Geode Capital Management 2.1%
T. Rowe Price International 1.9%
Eaton Vance 1.7%
JP Morgan Investment Management 1.6%
Bill Gates 1.4%
BlackRock Life 1.4%
Others 68.5%
There they are again... Those who are controlling the world. Vanguard, BlackRock, State Street, JP Morgan... In no way are their intentions innocent and not part of the globalist agenda. And Bill Gates is right in there with them and just as guilty.

Right...it’s just a new way to cheat and steal
