So this is a throwback article to the Future Investment Initiative (FII) conference in Riyadh this past October where we remember Musk and Jensen being interviewed and making deals with the Saudis. Groq co-founder Ross was also there making deals with the Saudis. I just think this paints the Nvidia deal with Groq in a bit of a different light and provides some additional perspective as to how it may relate to Humain, Aramco Digital and the deals with the Saudis, in general. “The CEO of the state-backed AI and data center company Humain, which is also working with Groq, previously told CNBC that it’s ambition is to become the “third-largest AI provider in the world, behind the United States and China.”’
Saudi Arabia poised to become AI data center hub, says Groq CEO

Do they have areas with an appropriate climate and infrastructure for data centers? Their built up areas are mostly hot deserts, terrible for data centers.
They need a pivot from oil
Lots of cheap, indentured labour willing to work in the blazing sun without pesky safety standards to build those data centers. It’s a techbro’s dream come true. Not sure where they’re going to get the 20-30Million liters of water/day though.
First question to Saudi AI, why did MBS order the killing and dismemberment of Jamal Khashoggi?
Second question, why is MBS a punk bitch
Hot desert with limited water for cooling servers….not a problem…nothing to see here.
This just gets more and more comical every day
