Look, it's great to buy locally or from small businesses if you can, but also, Amazon makes the bulk of its money from Amazon Web Services, & I doubt any of you finger waggers are boycotting that.
If you don't know someone's life, & if you haven't been asked, mind your business.

If it will take three years to replace Amazon Web Services, why not use to budget to GET ON WITH IT? You think that young, patriotic techies wouldn’t jump at the chance to secure Canada against the US? We needed moonshots. Instead, we got tax incentives.

C'est tellement plus simple d'acheter des services aux géants de la web US et de pleurnicher sur le thème de la souveraineté numérique.

OpenAI is has now signed over a trillion dollars of cloud deals it can't afford. Based on these costs, OpenAI will spend $11 billion a month by 2027. This is more than the operating expenses of Meta, a profitable company with 78k employees.

![Though there are likely losses related to stock-based compensation, this only represented a cost of $2.5bn in the first half of 2025. The Information also reported that OpenAI “spent more than $2.5 billion on its cost of revenue,” suggesting inference costs of…around that?
I don’t know. I really don’t know.
But what I do know is that Sam Altman has made obscene, ridiculous promises to seemingly every company in the tech industry. He promised $38bn over seven years to Amazon Web Services (starting immediately), $300bn to Oracle over five years (starting in 2027), $22.4bn to CoreWeave over five years (started October 2025), and pledged that OpenAI will spend $250bn on Microsoft Azure, which I assume wraps in the already-reported $28bn it will spend on Azure in 2028.
Based on these calculations, and OpenAI’s already-reported costs, I calculate that by 2027, OpenAI will be spending over $11bn a month on compute costs alone.
Or, perhaps more. Last night, in a lengthy thread that was roundly mocked for its defensive tone and Dostoyevskian wordcount, Sam Altman said that OpenAI is “looking at [compute] commitments of about $1.4 trillion over the next 8 years.” Now, note the non-committal language there (“looking at”), but if we assume that it goes through with all of these, we’re looking at an average monthly spend of $14.58bn ($1.4tn divided by 96 months).
For some context, Meta’s last quarterly (not monthly) operating expenses were $30bn — up from $27bn in the previous quarter — which works out to around $10bn a month for a company that regularly makes more than $15bn a quarter in net income (on revenues of over $51bn, though its latest quarter involved a $15bn or so hit to net income due to tariffs).
Similarly, Microsoft had operating expenses of $39bn in its last quarter — around $13bn a month — on net income of over $27bn (and revenues of over $77bn).
For some context, Meta has over 78,000 employees, and Microsoft over 200,000. In August, The Verge reporte…](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qc6xzgctorfsm35w6i3vdebx/bafkreicfykzrvzowsmtwlwoh55agf6xtxcrwl342jswcuie5bqvxoqiace@jpeg)

Reports say that OpenAI will need to raise another $70bn in 2027.
Based on my calculations, I believe OpenAI needs to raise $100bn in 2026 just to handle its rate of spending, and potentially more based on $1.4tr+ in deals it has agreed to.
What a mess.
