OpenAI's announcements of massive AI data center projects, including the 10GW 'Stargate' initiative backed by NVIDIA and Oracle, face a brutal reality check. Analysis reveals a catastrophic disconnect between promised compute capacity and available capital, with each gigawatt potentially costing $32.5 billion and requiring hundreds of billions in unfunded infrastructure. The media's uncritical reporting obscures an impending financial reckoning that could derail the AI boom.
