PH masterplan for AI targets up to $12B in investments, 500K jobs

A key component of the roadmap is the development of up to 1.5 gigawatts of AI-ready data center capacity by 2033, a scale that would significantly expand the country's digital infrastructure as demand for artificial intelligence computing resources grows.

Wordpress got to where it is on the backs of volunteer devs and sysadmins (like me!)
