Or what came first, the chicken or the egg.
There is no AI bubble without SoftBank.
It's no wonder Trump defied all odds to reclaim the office. He wasn't gonna let that goose get cooked. He was incomplete.

Ummmm... Not everyone!
"Altman's statement reflects optimism about the usefulness of future AI systems, but despite warnings of an AI bubble and criticism of the underlying technology, there is still actual unmet demand for generative AI capacity today. ChatGPT serves 700 million weekly active users, more than double the US population, who regularly use the AI assistant to develop software, provide personal advice, and compose or edit correspondence and reports. While the outputs may be imperfect at times, people apparently still want them."
Why does #OpenAI need six giant data centers?OpenAI's new $400 billion announcement reveals both growing AI demand and circular investments.
Benj Edwards – Sep 24, 2025
[How many of these places are low on water resources? Quite a few!!!] "The five new sites will include three locations developed through an OpenAI and #Oracle partnership: #ShackelfordCounty, #Texas; #DoñaAnaCounty, #NewMexico; and an unspecified #Midwest location. These sites, along with a 600-megawatt expansion near the flagship #Stargate site in #AbileneTx, can deliver over 5.5 gigawatts of capacity, which means the computers on site will be able to draw up to 5.5 billion watts of electricity when running at full load. The companies expect the sites to create over 25,000 onsite jobs.
"Two of the sites will be developed through a partnership between SoftBank and OpenAI. One site in #LordstownOH, where #SoftBank has broken ground, is on track to be operational next year. The second site in #MilamCounty, #Texas, will be developed with #SBEnergy, a SoftBank Group company. These two sites may scale to 1.5 gigawatts over the next 18 months.
"The new sites will join the flagship Stargate campus in Abilene, Texas. Oracle began delivering #Nvidia hardware to that site in June, and OpenAI has already begun training (building new models) and inference (running #ChatGPT) using the data center."

Proposed #Kroger #Albertsons #megamerger affects future of #FredMeyer, #Safeway, #Vons, #Osco, #Food4Less, #HarrisTeeter #QFC stores too. Together, the two chains operate approx 5 thousand of consolidated #RetailStores under varous #BrandNames across #US and have annual revenue of more than $209 billion.
#AntiTrust issues arise everywhere, with nearly 200 #grocerystores between them in #Oregon alone, many within a mile of each other. State Attorney Generals have sought to block the massive #merger, but everyone knows #BigMoney talks loudest.
To meet #FTC requirements this week the chains announced plan to #divest at least 400 #stores to a single #SoftBank backed holding corp that operates #PigglyWiggly
