  Oracle and OpenAI's Abilene expansion saga detailed: 600MW expansion gets scrapped, as larger 4.5GW agreement remains on track

  (Latest from Tom's Hardware / 2026-03-10 16:39)

  Oracle and OpenAI have scrapped a planned 600-megawatt expansion of their Abilene, Texas data center campus, citing financing issues and winter weather disruptions to liquid-cooling systems. However, the existing 1.2-gigawatt "Stargate" campus remains on track, with two buildings already operational and six more to be completed by mid-2026.

  A key factor in abandoning the expansion was the delayed power infrastructure, which would not be ready until after Nvidia's next-generation Rubin GPUs launch, making an investment in current Blackwell hardware commercially unviable. Despite this specific expansion being canceled, the broader 4.5-gigawatt partnership agreement between Oracle and OpenAI is reportedly still proceeding.

  Oracle publicly disputed initial media reports as "false and incorrect," emphasizing ongoing operations and the broader commitment, though it did not specifically deny the expansion lease was dropped.

  Main Topics: Oracle-OpenAI partnership; Abilene data center expansion cancellation; reasons (financing, weather, GPU generational timing); status of existing campus and broader agreement; Nvidia GPU roadmap impact.

  YouTube adds tool to help public figures report fake videos

  (Tech-Economic Times / 2026-03-10 16:45)

  YouTube is launching a pilot program that allows government officials, political candidates, and journalists to detect AI-generated deepfake videos that use their likeness without permission. Enrollees must verify their identity and can then review detected videos in a dashboard and request their removal, though parody or satirical content is exempt.

  The program arrives as deepfakes become more prevalent and social media platforms grapple with how to address them, though current systems still largely rely on user reporting. An expert notes that while such detection tools are a step forward, their effectiveness and the speed of content moderation remain critical challenges, especially for politically sensitive material.

  Main Topics: YouTube's new deepfake detection pilot program, its verification and removal process, the growing challenge of AI-generated misinformation, and expert commentary on the limitations and importance of rapid response.

  Fake AI Content About the Iran War Is All Over X

  (Feed: Artificial Intelligence Latest / 2026-03-10 16:45)

  Elon Musk's AI chatbot, Grok, repeatedly provided false information when asked to verify a video about Iranian missiles, even sharing an AI-generated image as supposed evidence. This incident highlights a broader surge of AI-generated disinformation on X, including realistic fake videos of military events and antisemitic content, which is being widely shared by state-backed and paid accounts.

  The proliferation of accessible AI tools has led to sophisticated fake content, such as videos of a building on fire in Bahrain and images of captured US troops, garnering millions of views. Experts warn that the ease of creating this "AI slop" without consequences is pushing the platform away from a fact-based reality, underscoring calls for regulation.

  The main topics covered are: the failure of Grok AI in fact-checking; the widespread use of AI-generated disinformation on X related to the Iran-Israel conflict; the role of state actors and paid accounts in spreading this content; and the call for regulatory action against AI abuse.
