"Access to the computing resources that power AI systems is prohibitively expensive and difficult to obtain," says Hochul in a statement. "These resources are increasingly concentrated in the hands of large technology companies, who maintain outsized control of the AI development ecosystem. As a result, researchers, public interest organizations, and small companies are being left behind, which has enormous implications for AI safety and society at large."
Color me skeptical. We're already in a massive AI arms race, in which companies-OpenAI, Anthropic, Microsoft, Google-are competing to corner ever-larger swaths of the market. You mean to tell me that New York state employees are going to oversee the construction of a new physical center and cloud computing architecture, that this project will be completed on time, and that this new facility will in any way be competitive?
