Ignoring the fantasy b.s. in the second half of the article, the stuff at the top is exactly what I mean.
A mighty 400 GB/s: i.e. much less than the > 50 PB/day of logs the other person mentioned;
1600 hours of SD video per second: i.e. about 1-2 million concurrent HD streams, or much less than the amount actually served by YouTube.
IBM Summit "world's most powerful supercomputer": < 5000 nodes, i.e. much below the median cell size described in the 2015 Borg paper. Summit is a respectable computer but it would get lost in a corner of a FAANG datacenter.
The numbers are not fantasy at all - this will be a huge radio telescope - one square kilometer of pure collecting area and thousands of receiving antennas (For reference: Arecibo has around 0.073 km^2). We are talking data input to the correlator on the terabit/s scale.
And technology-demonstration with ASKAP are well under way.
ALMA is working quite well by now as well (> 600 Gb/s with just an 50 antenna array).
