Why is Larry Ellison giving a speech about the power of AI to cure disease? How is Oracle relevant at all to any of AI progress in the past few years?

Oracle actually has a ton of gpus

Not sure how they knew to buy them or why but they have them. Mostly seem to be lending them out. Think mostly OpenAI. Or was it MS. One of the big dogs

Still, the worst positioned cloud provider to tackle this job. Both for the project and for eventual users of whatever eldritch abomination that cames out of this.

Oracle is trusted by large enterprises. So OpenAI wants to attach itself to Oracle's brand.

Oracle purchased Cerner which is now sitting on a ton of healthcare data.

I wonder how much of the data can legally be retained without violating privacy law? Perhaps that’s why Texas rather than CA?

Wouldn't surprise me Sam Altman convinced Trump/Son/Ellison that this AI can reverse their aging. And Ellison does have a ton of money - $208bn.
