**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
Having military AI isn’t the same thing as using it. And it shouldn’t require a data center in the very state.
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.
You are correct. This is certainly not a binary -this versus that- political issue. This technology will take place no matter who we may elect in 2026 or 2028.
It is written.
Most of us cannot possibly fathom what AI really is, no less where it will take us at the next turn. Nonetheless, modern society is tech-based in too many sectors to count. There is a point of no return, and I believe we reached it in 2021 which, strangely enough, dovetails with UN’s Agenda 21 New/ One World Order.
Meanwhile, the battle for our minds/souls rages ON.
No matter what name we hang on this, what lies beneath it all is consolidation of control. Do we not feel the breath being squeezed out of human life already?
The theory is that whoever controls the “tech” industry will harness all the power in the world. Well, maybe. That is, if they can control our minds along with the data centers.
What these power hungry people fail to realize is that, by whatever measure they increase their control of this world, they have lost control of their own human destinies by the very same measure.
It is written. All of it. So we know how it ends, after all.
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.”
Wealthy tech insider tells the broke plebs that we all have a new utility bill to look forward to in the future on the top of all of the electric price hikes subsidizing this brand new utility. The optics are HORRIBLE.
How are you connecting the electric price hike to data center, vs. a greedy utility just increasing the price because they can?
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?
They traded abject hypocrisy for genuine loathsome liberalism. Voters do that all the time. Conservatives must fly to survive. Progs don’t.
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 important than getting prices down. Look at his face. Chopper presser. I saw it was fake immediately He was resolute in his answer. It was about an entirely different subject. MS now was 100% partisan in its framing of the wrong question with this hit piece. Fake news!!!
Lost credibility on the entire manufactured hit piece.
Hopefully he’ll sue.
Reena Schroeder also took President Trump’s chopper presser words out of context. She is a Republican responding to an MS now hit piece on Trump. She only heard the 7 second snippet and responded to it in this video. Does she even realize President Trump’s presser response was about making a deal with Iran? It had nothing to do with data centers at all. FAKE NEWS and maybe misinformed REPUBLICAN.
