OpenAI to spend more on data centers
OpenAI is increasing its projected spending on data centers to $750 billion through 2030 as part of its IPO and cloud computing expansion. The company announced its first data center as lead developer, but faces opposition, including New York's moratorium and a Republican senator's constituents' backlash, with a poll showing more Americans now oppose nearby data centers.
