In May we made six data centre predictions. One came in early, two missed.
Six more to 31 December, including a 2GW gas campus that never connects to the grid, and an ASX float worth more than every listed Australian operator.

Channel 7 tried to scare Australia about data centres. Instead it made the industry's case: the scale, the economics, the reason the AI build-out is landing here.

US$15bn. 1.4GW. @AnthropicAI’s confidential tender for Australian data centre capacity is several times the size it disclosed in May. Infratil's CDC is the reported frontrunner at ~500MW, and financing is the gating item. https://t.co/jWcwXNBDoV
@airtrunk is set to file for a Singapore REIT of up to US$1.5bn, which would be Singapore's biggest float since 2017. What the move means for Australia's data centre market: https://t.co/mMZ6SmxKAZ
2/ Who anchored it: Leopold Aschenbrenner's Situational Awareness, the ex-OpenAI researcher whose thesis is that power and compute, not software, are the real limit on AI. The fund also holds Sydney-founded IREN, so two Australian-founded AI infrastructure names.
1/ @sharon__ai ($SHAZ) is targeting a second-half-July ASX listing. The Australian-founded AI cloud company has started a Macquarie-run roadshow, weeks after an oversubscribed US$1.6B raise. https://t.co/7XIDHlailx
Someone's actually put a date on when @Telstra could run with barely any staff: 2030. Not just call centres, but software, support, even the team that watches the network 24/7.

@Bobb_DeFi@FabrizioRomano But we should absolutely pocket watch. And yeah net spend is within stipulation. Revenue is up and players sales allow for probably another £100m or so spend if we wanted (after Isak) and next year we can still pull a Chelsea and sell our women’s team back to ourself
@JDVance Shuddup and just let Elon do the talking. Clearly he’s the one pulling the strings. Too bad he can’t be president. Definitely would have my vote!!
