Belated happy DSA Data Access Day to all who celebrate!! October 2 was the first day that national regulators could start formally reviewing researcher applications for Art. 40.4 access to platforms' internally held data. (Bc that was 3 months after the Delegated Act came out).

FAQs: DSA data access for researchers

Under article 40 of the Digital Services Act (DSA), vetted researchers will be able to request data from very large online platforms (VLOPs) and search engines (VLOSEs) to conduct research on systemic...

Dutch government removes Chinese owner of Dutch semiconductor company Nexperia. The shares of the Chinese owner Wingtech in Nexperia will go to another firm to be determined by the Enterprise Division of the Court of Appeal

De inzet van de wet heeft als gevolg dat het bedrijf een jaar lang niets mag veranderen aan de activa van Nexperia.

Oracle needs 4.5GW of compute capacity to handle OpenAI's $300 billion compute contract. They have only got the land for 2.6GW, and there isn't a chance they have that before 2028.

They are guaranteed to breach their contract with OpenAI.
www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-bubbl...

“Gigawatt Data Centers” Are A Pipedream, Taking 2.5 Years Per Gigawatt In Construction and Even Longer For Power, And Oracle’s 4.5GW Of Compute Won’t Be Ready Before 2030, Guaranteeing A Breach Of Its Agreement With OpenAI
As I discussed a few weeks ago, Oracle needs to build 4.5GW of data centers to honour its $300 billion compute contract with OpenAI, and hasn’t even decided where it’s putting 1.9GW of that compute.

What we do know is that 1.4GW of that compute is meant to be built in Shackelford Texas, with “the first building scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2026.”

Remember, it’s about 36 months of lead time — if not more — to get the transformers necessary to build the power necessary for these large data centers, and it appears that Vantage Data Centers is “in the early planning stages” as of late July 2025, and Vantage only just raised the $25 billion to develop the data center, which has yet to break ground. As discussed, the Shackelford site will require at least 1.82GW of power — requiring power structure at a scale that I’ve yet to find a comparison for.

It takes 2.5 years per gigawatt to build a gigawatt datacenter meaning that there isn’t a chance in hell Oracle has the capacity necessary before the end of its contract with OpenAI, guaranteeing that it will breach it within the next few years, assuming that OpenAI actually has the money to pay for the compute, which it will not.

Amazing. Facebook trial is in two weeks for allegedly inflating its potential reach metrics and their attorneys admit to being concerned "that Meta is a widely hated and viled company" so jurors need to be screened for their hatred. Especially towards Mark Zuckerberg. 1/3
