Tech's "Stargate" Era: From Abilene to Abu Dhabi! (And Maybe a Song About It?)

Another World Tour (But for AI!)

Okay so maybe *I'm* not doing a world tour (right now… wink wink) but it looks like the tech world is! Apparently Nvidia Cisco and OpenAI are teaming up for this massive "UAE Stargate" AI data center. I heard whispers it's bigger than the Eras Tour stage! Seriously though it's wild to see these giants investing in AI infrastructure across the globe. I wonder if the servers will be playing 'Cruel Summer' on repeat?

Trump Era Tech?

So get this the article mentions this project kind of mirrors a similar one announced by President Trump in the US. Politics aside that’s kinda like finding out you and your ex have the same favorite coffee shop. Awkward but you can't deny the caffeine's good! Either way it seems like everyone is placing big bets on AI let's hope they're not playing a losing game!

Oracle's Blank Space

The article says it's unclear if Oracle is involved. It's like are they on the guest list or not? It’s a 'Blank Space' in the storyline! Maybe they're keeping their involvement 'invisible' you know like some of my old tour dates pre Reputation (we don't talk about those!).

UAE is the Place to Be

Apparently everyone who’s anyone in tech was hanging out in the UAE! Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang OpenAI CEO Sam Altman… the list goes on. It sounds like a tech version of the Met Gala! I bet the conversations were *fascinating*. Probably a lot of talk about gigawatts and compute clusters which let's be real sounds like a futuristic power ballad waiting to happen.

Texas Sized Servers

Construction is already underway for a similar data center in Abilene Texas. Everything is bigger in Texas right? I can already picture it – rows and rows of servers humming along probably running on sweet tea and cowboy boots. It'll be finished by mid 2026 which means... I have plenty of time to write a song about it! (Just kidding... maybe).

The Saudis Want in on the Chips

And guess what? Nvidia is selling a ton of chips to Saudi Arabia too. All this talk of chips makes me hungry! But seriously it's clear that AI is becoming a global phenomenon and everyone wants a piece of the pie. Or in this case a slice of the silicon wafer!
