In September this was published. https://fortune.com/2024/09/17/oracle-larry-ellison-surveillance-state-police-ai/

The Ellison quote in the post is from this article. However, the article doesn't mention Project Stargate. I'm not sure the project had even started yet back then.

Here's an article that's actually about Stargate. As you can see, the people involved in this haven't given hardly any details. Why would anyone invest without even a few details? I think the answer is that AI has become another economic bubble, like web sites before the Dot Com bubble burst, or cryptocurrency before that bubble burst.

What Will Stargate Actually Do?\
\
Here’s where the lack of detail leaves us with fewer answers and plenty of questions. It’s sensible to think that the Stargate datacenters will be used in the development and operation of multiple AI models — but what exactly will that look like?\
\
From an infrastructure perspective, will Stargate function as an R&D platform? An AI cloud? A GPU cloud? Or something more than that? Ten separate 500,000-square-foot datacenters racked with AI-specific infrastructure sounds an awful lot like a cloud, but maybe it isn’t.\
\
If it is a cloud, what does Stargate mean for the cloud market? Anything? While we’re at it, will Stargate be reserved only for the largest use cases — AGI, for instance — that would typically require an on-premises cluster? Or will its net be spread wider to enable AI incubation for larger and smaller use cases and organizations?\
\
Connecting those questions to a customer perspective, what exactly is the product or service being offered? For that matter, who will have access to Stargate? At the launch event, Ellison spoke in general terms about the potential for personalized vaccines and cancer treatments. That is one of countless use cases that Stargate might support. However, it is fair to say that even a project as ambitious as Stargate can’t support every use case for every type of customer. It would be very good to understand more about what Stargate will and won’t do, and for whom.\
\
From a timeline perspective, the investment of $500 billion over four or five years is incredible. But how soon will the first customer, partner or other user actually get to use it? Regardless of the specific answer, it seems likely that significant ROI on this project will be years further out. Maybe the point is to ramp up to creating 100,000-plus well-paying jobs, secure in the knowledge that a thirsty AI market will find uses for these datacenters in short order.
