So this is all in the planning stage. They haven't designed or built
anything yet, or written any code. They are just looking for investors to
raise a few billion dollars because they have an idea.

It's not a bad idea. I just wonder what it will cost to build a 120
trillion parameter neural network on 192 nodes each with 800,000 cores
optimized for sparse matrix operations implemented on untested wafer scale
integration, and 2.4 PB memory. (Or 8 TB. It's not clear from the article.
It says each node has 40 GB, which would only give you a few trillion
parameters).

But if it worked it would give you pretty close to a human brain sized
neural network (600 trillion synapses). Would this give the investors a
return? What's the electric bill per hour?

Anybody want to bet on when something this big will be built, and who will
do it?
