Announcing The Stargate Project
The Stargate Project is a new company which intends to invest $500 billion over the next four years building new AI infrastructure for OpenAI in the United States. We will begin deploying $100 billion immediately. This infrastructure will secure American leadership in AI, create hundreds of thousands of American jobs, and generate massive economic benefit for the entire world. This project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.
The initial equity funders in Stargate are SoftBank, OpenAI, Oracle, and MGX. SoftBank and OpenAI are the lead partners for Stargate, with SoftBank having financial responsibility and OpenAI having operational responsibility. Masayoshi Son will be the chairman.
Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Oracle, and OpenAI are the key initial technology partners. The buildout is currently underway, starting in Texas, and we are evaluating potential sites across the country for more campuses as we finalize definitive agreements.
As part of Stargate, Oracle, NVIDIA, and OpenAI will closely collaborate to build and operate this computing system. This builds on a deep collaboration between OpenAI and NVIDIA going back to 2016 and a newer partnership between OpenAI and Oracle.
This also builds on the existing OpenAI partnership with Microsoft. OpenAI will continue to increase its consumption of Azure as OpenAI continues its work with Microsoft with this additional compute to train leading models and deliver great products and services.
All of us look forward to continuing to build and develop AI—and in particular AGI—for the benefit of all of humanity. We believe that this new step is critical on the path, and will enable creative people to figure out how to use AI to elevate humanity.

It is with heavy hearts that we mourn the sudden passing of long time asst. coach Lance Cline. A former player (class of ‘88) Lance coached the offensive line for 25 years from 1995 - 2021. He positively impacted the lives of thousands of young men - A true coach to all.

Too often, we’re comforting what we should be confronting. We’re making excuses. You can’t run from everything that’s uncomfortable. When you confront what you know you need to deal with, God gives you the grace, the strength, the power to do what you couldn’t do on your own.

I was in college when AirPods came out and first adopters were ridiculed for how goofy they looked. I was in high school when the Apple Watch came out and first adopters were ridiculed for paying $800 to tell the time. I was in middle school when the iPad came out and reviewers made fun of how it sounded like a feminine hygiene product.
I can understand kids having these ridicule takes about a new product category, but it’s weird for adults to still believe their self respect can beat out their dopamine addictions despite years of evidence to the contrary. You’re not that strong. You will fold after the first time you experience a strong emotion in the headset.
I still remember my first aha moment for the iPhone 3GS. One of our family friends had got one and he let me play around with it while him and my dad drank coffee the porch. I went on the App Store and found a table tennis game. Then I got an air hockey game. Then I found a flight simulator. I opened the Stocks app. It dawned on me that this little box had solved the software discoverability problem, that I would never need to go to Best Buy again to get the next version of McAfee or whatever. At that point I knew this weird rectangle was going to be a big deal.
Who cares how stupid holding this thing made me look. I’m the main character in my own life and I will have fun and there is nothing anyone else can do about it. I will always prioritize my entertainment over my conformance, and you will too, even if you don’t know it yet.
Regardless, it is very funny to see the person next to me on the subway quote tweeting this video of the guy wearing Vision Pro on the subway being like “ugh, can you believe this? Does this idiot not realize how ridiculous he looks? And he paid thousands of dollars for that goofy thing?”
