its more nuanced than that, this article is probably best summarised as:
"Much more popular acts than me have been catching a load of bad (but free) publicity for going to Saudi to whitewash crimes against humanity, thats why I want everyone to know I was there too"

You don't hand in your working class card and start voting Tory when you stop working for somebody else and start working for yourself.

Never forget October 7th 2023, that fateful day when Israelis were brutally massacred by Israeli tanks and Israeli helicopters and Israeli drones and Israeli soldiers and Israeli bullets, and also by Hamas a bit.

This is all complete nonsense. How are they building the capacity? Who is paying for it? Data centers take two and a half years a gigawatt. No real money has changed hands! Bullshit galore
stocks.apple.com/AmyvoZUvRRV2...

The first tranche vests with the first full gigawatt deployment, with additional tranches unlocking as OpenAI scales to 6 gigawatts and meets key technical and commercial milestones required for large-scale rollout.
If OpenAI exercises the full warrant, it could acquire approximately 10% ownership in AMD, based on the current number of shares outstanding.

OpenAI plans to use the AMD chips for inference functions, or the computations that allow AI applications such as chat bots to respond to user queries. As the profusion of large language models and other tools has picked up, demand for inference computing has skyrocketed, OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman said in a joint interview with Su.
“It’s hard to overstate how difficult it’s become” to get enough computing power, Altman said. “We want it super fast, but it takes some time.”
The two CEOs said the deal will tie their companies together and give them incentives to commit to the AI infrastructure boom. “It’s a win for both of our companies, and I’m glad that OpenAI’s incentives are tied to AMD’s success and vice versa,” Su said.

Chapter six is literally entitled Casual Sex. There's so many perfectly Partridge moments, particularly in the later chapters, that it's genuinely inseparable from parody.
