Stargate was a 1994 science fiction film about travellers zooming through a wormhole to an alternative reality. That seems an appropriate name, too, for the massive artificial intelligence infrastructure project promising to invest as much as $500bn in the US over the next four years, announced by President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening. Backed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank, Stargate reflects the alternative reality created by the fusion of the AI superbubble and Trump’s re-election. Washington, it seems, is disappearing down its own wormhole.
《星际之门》是一部1994年的科幻电影，讲述旅行者通过虫洞进入另一个现实。这似乎也是一个合适的名字，用于一个承诺在未来四年内在美国投资高达5000亿美元的大型人工智能基础设施项目，该项目由美国总统唐纳德•特朗普(Donald Trump)于周二晚宣布。由OpenAI、甲骨文(Oracle)和软银(SoftBank)支持，星际之门反映了由人工智能超级泡沫和特朗普连任创造的另类现实。华盛顿似乎正消失在自己的虫洞中。
