OpenAI ‘Stargate UK’ plan was completely fake - YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0IQ4cpDafQ Blog post: https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/07/06/openai-stargate-uk-plan-was-completely-fake/ by @davidgerard@circumstances.run #AI #GenAI #OpenAI #StargateUK #BigTech

"It was to be the biggest undertaking in Britain for OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. Stargate UK – a multibillion-pound UK datacentre project – would represent “a major step forward in the US-UK technology partnership”. But the plans were paused in April, with an OpenAI spokesperson citing concerns over regulation and high energy costs. Now the Guardian can reveal that OpenAI does not appear to have visited one of Stargate UK’s key sites – and that £20bn of the “potential” £30bn in investment touted by the UK government appears to have been totally hypothetical. The findings raise questions about one of the most-hyped UK AI developments, and suggest a centrepiece of US-UK AI cooperation was in fact little more than a press release." https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jul/04/openai-apparent-failure-visit-key-site-questions-stargate-uk-project #AI #OpenAI #UK #Stargate #StargateUK
