OpenAI's $25B Patagonia Party: Brainpower Meets Big Bolts

In a dazzling display of 'let's spend a trillion bucks and then some,' OpenAI is teaming up with Sur Energy to build a 500-megawatt AI dream palace in Argentina's Patagonia. With a gargantuan $25 billion price tag, President Javier Milei is rolling out the red carpet and Incentive Regime for Large Investments (RIGI), which sounds like something out of a sci-fi startup pitch. No start date or exact location yet, because planning at this scale clearly means winging it creatively. Nvidia and AMD get flexed in this tech muscle parade, while OpenAI continues its epic $1 trillion spree on computing deals. It's big energy, big tech, and big questions about how Patagonia became AI's hottest luxury resort.
