>The project will create approximately 800 permanent jobs

For $50 billion?

It’s Capex. Most home construction produces less than a single permanent job on average.


Probably not the best idea rhetorically to pick something people literally require to live and compare it against AI spending to make your point.

AI spending is more on hardware than on jobs. That shouldn't be too great a surprise.

$62 million per job does seem a bit more hardware-heavy than reasonable, though...
