Development & New Businesses / Re: Rumored Facebook AI center
Last post by Red Arrow - December 29, 2025, 10:24:55 PMQuote from: patric on December 29, 2025, 08:26:29 PMWhat if it turns out we are building data centers for no one?
Venture capitalist Alex Davis is "deeply concerned" that too many data centers are being built without guaranteed tenants, according to a letter being sent this morning to his investors. This critique is coming from inside the AI optimist camp.
"The 'build it and they will come' strategy is a trap. He adds that data center buildouts will put too much "stress on the system."
The bottom line: Data centers are becoming political flashpoints, primarily because of their impact on electricity prices.

My electric and gas bills are bad enough considering the storm recovery fees. Don't want a data center fee on top of the rest.

Other Tulsa Discussion / Re: Another Police Helicopter
Last post by patric - December 18, 2025, 09:52:05 AMThe Senate moved quickly Wednesday afternoon to close a loophole that could allow military aircraft to fly without broadcasting their locations just like an Army helicopter was doing last January before it collided with an airliner over Washington, D.C., killing 67 people.
Just hours after passing a massive defense bill that included the worrisome provisions about military flights, the Senate approved a bipartisan bill that will require all aircraft use ADS-B technology — or Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast technology — to broadcast their locations.
Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said that "tragedy could have been avoided" if the Army Black Hawk had been using its ADS-B system to broadcast its location before the crash.
The bill also requires a review of safety at airports across the country to ensure they don't face the same hazards that contributed to the crash at Reagan Airport. And the military and FAA will have to share safety data more freely.

OKC soccer fans: Welcome to your new home, opening January 2028
Located in downtown OKC within easy walking distance of Bricktown, the convention center, and Scissortail Park, the new MAPS 4 Multipurpose Stadium draws inspiration from Oklahoma's natural landscape while speaking to a modern future for our city.
The north side of the stadium opens to the downtown skyline, while a lightweight canopy roof and dynamic fabric façade frame OKC's open skies. The fabric façade will be enhanced by programmable LED lighting that will create an energy for the fans and the local community.
The stadium will open Phase 1 with 10,000+ seats with Phase 2 $50 million expansion (Approved funding in 2025 GO Bonds) to push the seating capacity over the 15,000-16,000 minimum.
Project Budget: $121 million

Last post by bacjz00 - December 01, 2025, 01:05:08 PMIt was a tough loss in the nationally televised final for this team. But the community and owners have stepped up in a big way to show that it will support a team that is at least competitive and making the playoffs consistently. Really hope there is a stadium announcement in the next 6 months
