OpenAI renames data centers 'compute campuses'; researcher warns rebrand deepens trust crisis

Casey Newton shared OpenAI's first email referring to data centers as 'compute campuses'. Researcher jachiam0 argues that with the AI field itself politically radioactive, such a transparent rename is risky and likely to deepen rather than ease the trust crisis. He finds 'datacenter' un-descriptive but 'campus' no better, suggesting 'chipcenters' as the honest name.
