PA on “Shortlist” to Host OpenAI’s $5B Stargate Data Center Proj

Two weeks ago, MDN brought you the news about a mind-blowing announcement from the White House that OpenAI (ChatGPT), SoftBank, and Oracle have pledged to spend $500 billion (with a "b") to build new data centers to support artificial intelligence (see AI, Data Centers Go Mainstream – Big Do at WH re $500B Investment). The project is called Stargate. One of the states that will host some of these new Stargate data centers is Texas---there's already one under construction in the Lone Star State. However, word has come that the Pittsburgh area in Pennsylvania is on the "short list" as one of a select few locations to host Stargate data centers. Can you imagine the billions that would flow into the state?
