Basically, Microsoft said, all we did was we said we would spend $2.5 billion with you if you ever built the thing.

Like we commit to buy $2.5 billion worth of compute from you.

So essentially they went to Microsoft and they were like, if we can take this scaffold in place, buy it, which we still

haven't done, and then build the supercomputer on it, then you'll give us two and a half

billion dollars worth of investment. And Microsoft said, yeah, okay, sure. They took the print

out of the email saying, yeah, okay, sure, to the government.

And the government went, holy shit, Microsoft's going to invest two and a half billion pounds

or like dollars in, in like, our sovereign, our blessed economy.

November.

I hate to say, yes, that's exactly what happened.

But yes, that's exactly what happened.

Jesus Christ. So like, a celebrity likes one of your posts and you think, and you think that, like, they're your best

friend now. And no one can tell you otherwise. Yeah, it's like, oh yeah, I'm boys with Rob Delaney.

I met him once, basically. Yeah. That's so embarrassing to be that desperate for any good news or any investment that you get fooled by the sort of like tunnel painted onto the wall.

Rob Delaney actually did say that if I could build an AI supercomputer, he would invest two billion pounds of his own money into it.

And so we should get going.

I know a scaffolding yard that doesn't currently have

a supercomputer on it. Maybe we can start there. But this raises a lot of questions. I'm going to

walk through answering, namely, how did this happen? And more importantly, why did the government

let it happen and who benefits? I can answer most of them and make some educated guesses for the

rest. So we're going to kind of move beyond the Guardian article a bit here,

which is mainly about, hey, this company doesn't seem to exist.
