**Bumped by Request**
A few weeks ago, I was having a politics conversation with a tech insider. The issue of datacenters became a focus of the conversation. The first response from him was “this is the issue that might decide 2026 and will certainly decide 2028.”
The tech side of the issue is essentially: As 5G wifi was to mobile connectivity, so too are the datacenters the cornerstone of nationwide AI rollout. Eventually, all of the datacenters will interconnect and become part of a massive information system that houses all knowledge, a great digital brain. From that point, engagement with Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems will become like a public utility.
The datacenters themselves can be a hot button issue as their proximity to people creates friction. Battles against datacenters are taking place in rural and non-rural areas alike. With deep pockets and strong national security arguments involving the “AI race,” the technocrats are currently winning the argument. However, as with all special interest issues, the opportunity for political benefit now determines DC advocacy. WATCH:
What are your thoughts on this issue?
Is opposition to datacenters strong enough to tilt the outcome of the 2026 midterms? And do you believe 2028 will be determined with this issue at the forefront?
9-11 was Phase 1. Covid was Phase 2. Datacenters and AI, along with telemetrics and kill switches in all vehicles and flock devices are Phase 3. Total control will be complete. America as we know it will be gone forever. The concept of having jobs will be gone. The concept of building a life will be gone. Getting married, having kids, building the American dream will be gone. Everyone will sit around in their government supplied population density condo , collecting some weird kind of digital “credits” instead of money and scrolling online gambling sites on your government supplied phone, while waiting for your free weed delivery dropped by an AI drone. If you’re Ok with that because you like tech, you are not an American. If you want another civil war, this will bring it.
First post, bear with me.
I’m certain that almost all here will agree that most corporate AI entities that we interact with on a daily basis are failures. Think customer “support,” phone trees, fact “checkers.” All are abject, nearly corporate wide, failures. What’s missing? Humanity. Ethical decisions. Golden Rule. Doing what’s right. By extension, the existence of God. Good vs Evil. Faith vs Doubt. The big questions..
I decided to see for myself what AI was all about regarding honest, deep and ethical exploration of current events. Won’t go into unnecessary detail, bur all AI but one seemed incapable of having a conversation about ethics except to define the term. Useless.
There was one glaring exception, Grok. Don’t want to sound like an advertisement, but try a conversation about religious or ethical inquiry about an event occurring today, be persistent, and you are likely to get surprising results. This particular AI appears to have the ability to address the deeper implications of current events. In contrast to my statement about AI, I AM recommending a particular nineteenth century novel in the strongest terms possible, as it had (and has) the courage to discuss “the big questions,” and is likely to cause serious introspection among those who study it carefully.. This book and its author also arguably saved Christianity from complete destruction by Bolshevism and allied European and Russian radicals in the nineteenth century. Honestly, most of the book could have been written yesterday.
Of course, the above can also be figured out from my pen name..
Welcome to the Treehouse Alyosha! 😀
Don’t mean to be a pest Ad rem and know you’re busy – but there’s a post on page 2 that’s part one of information regarding the organization of the NJ anti-Ice protests. When you get a moment, releasing it would be much appreciated. As always, thanks much for all you do and God Bless.
I’m trying to learn more about them but what if they are a necessary evil to win the military AI war with China ? Is it true the country who reaches the goal first rules the world? That is my concern
Amazing. I ask myself “What issue would drive me to support open borders, trans, soft on crime, abortion, solar panels, wind turbines, electric cars, Hamas, anarchy, massive money to illegals, etc.?” I don’t think that issue exists. It sure as heck isn’t AI.
A.I. Will Doom Large Data Centers The future of A.I. is decisioning – and decisioning inherently cannot be centralized https://theblackswanfiles.substack.com/p/ai-will-doom-large-data-centers
The deep state & tech bureaucrats do NOT want to hear about FRACTAL, the PERFECT SOLUTION, since they are all in and
THERE ARE TRILLIONS AT STAKE!
I cannot vote for DEMONIC pro abortion, pro child mutilation dems but
I do think this is a betrayal of the American people by the GOP.
Data Centers will be the dot.com of our era. Overbuilt and under utilized. Companies are just now realizing that the AI hype is just that–hype. The cost of agent tokens is exceeding the cost of humans doing the same work.
AI can do some amazing things in science, and hopefully will cure cancer and other illnesses, but it’s not the be-all, end-all that the tech giants are portraying it to be.
A 3% price hike to my electric bill starts tomorrow on top of the whopping 20% price hike from a few months ago. If anything decides the 2026 and 2028 election, then it will be these never-ending price hikes courtesy of the datacenters. There are way more angry, cash-strapped voters than there are AI defenders.
tl;dr: “IT’S THE ECONOMY, STUPID.”
I don’t think I’ve heard democrats oppose AI.
If anything, I would expect dems to support it more because it’s a great tool for promoting sloth and lemming behavior — their 2 biggest constituencies.
Voters may stay home. But they’re not moving into the dem column over AI data centers.
A few years ago the British electorate was disgusted by the Conservative Party’s passive aggressive tactics for handling Brexit, illegal integration, Muslim grooming of English girls, two tiered justice, etc. So they gave up on the Conservatives and gave power to the super-Socialist Labour [sic] Party in a grand example of cutting off one’s nose to spite one’s face.
So how’s that working out?
The MS now video hit piece snippet at 1:12 took President Trump’s words out of context. We didn’t hear the actual point of the conversation. It was about the Iran war and making a deal. President Trump very correctly implied the getting a nuclear weapon out of the hands of Iran was more important than getting any deal. He meant it was more impotant than getting prices down. He was resolute in his answer. It was about an entirely different subject. MS now was partisan in its framing of the wrong question with this hit piece. Fake news!!!
