Oracle sent New Mexico a force majeure notice for its Stargate data center—if the 2028 go-live target can’t be met, payments can be deferred.
After writing code for ten years, seeing this word makes me want to laugh a bit. In engineering contexts, “force majeure” is usually translated as “this schedule was basically decided on a whim from the start.”
This AI round’s real bottleneck has long ceased to be the models—it’s power, transformers, and the concrete delivery timeline. The story always runs ahead of the infrastructure, and on that point, over these ten years of DCA-ing BTC, I’ve seen it play out far too many times.🏗
