From oil fields to GPU fields: How Xinjiang is powering AI development

Summary by Ecns
Well, just drive a couple of hours north of the capital of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, Urumqi, then take a turn off the desert highway, and you'll hit a view that looks like somebody dropped a row of Apple stores onto the surface of Mars. So perhaps Elon Musk would adore this city: Karamay. Once China's "black oil" town, is now auditioning for the role of Data-opolis in the next global AI blockbuster.
