Sounds like they’ll be using Oracle Cloud alongside Azure. Deepest sympathies to the OpenAI team using Oracle Cloud.

Bit of a worry with the latest Ellison ravings.

  Honestly, it just feels like he's saying the quiet part loud.

    Given my local council has recently added Person of Interest tracking capability to their camera network (click on a person, and the system shows you their movements through the camera network during the day), this seems more like yesterdays news than "quiet": > “Citizens will be on their best behaviour, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on, If Larry is spruiking it, it's because he thinks he can make money from it. I wasn't aware that Oracle had any serious chops in AI, so the quiet part is: "how is Larry planning to make money by watching my every move". Convince them to split the littering fine for every transgression his AI network finds, perhaps? Hell, I'm sure he'd even offer to collect the fines for them, for a small fee.

I thought this was sarcastic, but TIL Oracle Cloud[1] is actually a thing. I mean, of course it’s a thing. As a customer of three well known big cloud providers, somehow i never even knew they were in the race.

  I’ve never seen anyone use it, but I recall hearing about it only because Oracle sued to try and block AWS from getting a large DoD contact a few years back because they wanted the contract instead. They lost their challenge: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oracle-loses-challenge-10-billion-184329979.html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/oracle-loses-challenge-10-bil... But kind of won something in the end? https://apnews.com/article/technology-politics-amazoncom-inc-cloud-computing-us-department-of-defense-bfaeb3549b4d42328f35e579d7cb40b0 https://apnews.com/article/technology-politics-amazoncom-inc...

Well, it looks like SoftBank is on track to (again) lose a few billion dollars. My guess is that SoftBank will bankroll OpenAI's spend on Oracle cloud. The spend will probably be written off - as with all of SoftBank's projects. Winners will be OpenAI and Oracle, loser will be SoftBank. Trump will probably claim he is making AI great again (or he is the best AI this and that)
