- Jcampuzano2 3mo agoI mean its the same thing as the data center investments. Think whatever you want about them, whether they're good or bad when it comes to environment, public health etc. But one thing cannot be ignored - that they are not built to employ some large swath of people. They can be run with very lean teams, much leaner than the average person thinks for something so large. Any claim that they are employing some measurable amount of people is a sham they try to push onto the public.
- aurareturn 3mo agoThe jobs part of the announcement is just for political PR. This is still just making parts of an AI server rack at TSMC Arizona or Intel or Samsung fabs on US soil. Broadcom was likely going to do this anyway.
- twoodfin 3mo agoThat merely hundreds of people can make a $30B investment return Apple/Broadcom-level profit margins is amazing. This is what technology does: More output for less labor input.

- sgalbincea 3mo agoBingo.
- xandrius 3mo agoIt could also be some token "new jobs" to get some other benefits elsewhere? It's not like these deals would be unexpected from the current administration.
