Let me be very brief here.
A.I. is the sum total of deciphering un-umaginative volumes of data. If you want to "groom" baby A.I. to grow up in any certain way... you must control what is fed into it. How? Data Centers. Gathers it all and makes it digestable by the maturing A.I.
The USA (and most developed countries) are planning to build a geographical blanket covering the entire country. If you control the in-bound data you control the outbound flow. Like water, you direct its path anyway you wish.
So, the so-called A.I. war isn't over the A.I. code (although important), it is about the amalgamation and residence of the data. Entire realities have been built on less than this. This A.I. Child is going to grow up... fast! Data Centers are the schools.
Solution? Not quite sure. However, delaying the data center build-outs would at least allow the current data flows to continue somewhat independently and thus to some degree... organic. Although, as all Anons know, that organic facade already burdens a whole lot of bullshit now! But at least it isn't confined, controlled and centralized.
I suppose the most powerful antidote is an awakening worldwide that A.I. is a tool. Not a guiding light. Not all knowing and the end-all of thinking. We collectively minimize Baby A.I. to grow up potent but without any serious power. We retain that for humans. We control the tech completely. Even this, has it dangers.
We may all need an IQ-upgrade to comprehend the changes, challenges and decisions ahead of us. Infact, perhaps this is what "Nothing can stop what is coming" actually means.
Some parting humor: (Re: IQ upgrade) I am sure they will come up with a pill for that... the IQ-up pill from Pfizer (over the counter of course).
We are watching the greatest show on earth. Brought to you by The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus via rigged elections.
I think the problem with AI will be like the problem with current search engines: when they become established they will be subverted to bias what a user can see.
The difference is we don't currently give Google any decision power. A.I. is being postured for that very purpose. It will provide the basis for a decision if not making the decision itself. Both have impact.
Agreed, except that I would argue that Google does have decision power albeit indirectly. Decision-makers or their advisors may well use Internet search engines to discover the "facts" for them to base their decisions on.
There are questions that are not being answered:
What is the "killer application" for all of these AI centers?
Who is funding them? Follow the money
What application that uses artificial intelligence is going to be SO IRRESISTIBLE that DROVES of people are going to line up to use it? AND turn a profit?
After a series of bullshit answers from AI itself, the ONLY reasonable application was replacing clerical positions by drafting letters, answering emails, handling customer service, web applications - like updating social media, websites etc; accounting and similar things.
HOWEVER - a few things come up immediately.
Nobody has "run the numbers" whether it's actually cheaper to use AI (including how efficient & correct it is) vs hiring a person. I say this because a number of large companies who gave AI access to their employees, totally blew through their AI token budget for the YEAR in only about 6 weeks. We're talking millions of dollars -NOT chump change.
When all these secretary, clerical, accounting etc jobs become obsolete, where are those people going to work? How are they going to survive? Inflation is killing a lot of people right now and the job market is absolute shit. Especially if you're a mid-aged white dude that should be knocking down prime coin - but you can't with H1Bs phuckery. The fatigue is real. Not dooming on Trump in the least - just concerned for our people living in the real world as the walls close in...I sincerely wish someone in the administration would put our minds at ease with the ai situation. But I understand they're spinning a lot of plates right now AND it just might not be the right time to tell us yet...
There's also another glaring situation with AI that few are talking about. Insurance. As it is at the moment, very few insurance actuaries are willing to take on "impossible to calculate" risks that come along with AI replacing actual human discernment. There are countless situations where ai would be very risky to use, and right now there's no regulations around this. This is a very real problem they haven't worked out yet... one that could bring the whole ai temple down on their/our heads...I said "our" because guess who ALWAYS pays for the screw ups?... right.
So back to the original question, barring of course any dystopian scenarios... Where's the actual REAL money coming from to fund and sustain these AI centers? Now I know some are military infrastructure, and I think that's what some of the eminent domain stuff is about - but let's get serious here - What is the ACTUAL revenue generating application that makes these centers viable - they gotta get a ROI on building them... and making AI slop videos ain't gonna pay the bills - especially if nobody has a job anymore.
I have a few theories on some applications that makes some sense - but they're by & large TAKERS that sap us, vs making actual money. Similar to school teachers and prison guards. "They make their living off of other people's taxes" you know the song...clap if you want to 👏👏👏👏👏👏
First, and probably the only quasi-neutral application is a backbone for StableCoin and/or a Quantum financial system. With the need for processing millions of monetary transactions a second, we'd need some infrastructure to support that. I'm okay with that.
Then of course there's government... local, state and federal - replacing menial "rock washing jobs" like clerical or redundant/obsolete positions - making government run more efficiently. Imagine that if you will...But perhaps this is also a way to incorporate DOGE to stop the absolutely blatant & obscene fraud, waste and abuse going on at EVERY level. Maybe that's wishful thinking, but I believe in the spirit of what Trump wants to do in this regard. I've personally witnessed the fraud and waste firsthand.
Widening the scope a bit - there's NatSec & Homeland Security - Including Golden Dome. This touches on the dystopian aspect, but the other edge of the blade would track bad actors, illegals and terrorists that don't belong here so we can get them out. You can bet they already have some "person of interest/minority report" system running already and this would be the next generation of that.
Of course, ALL of this points to the very real need for a "Digital Bill of Rights" to keep this very powerful blob of "possibilities" from going way too far. We needed this 15+ years ago before we were starting to be labeled "deplorables" by the clowns we've been at war with.
Otherwise there's a possibility for ugly situations none of us want to submit to, as corporate and medical tyranny chips away at our privacy and sovereignty every day. Next thing you know, you'll have to give your ss# to get a haircut... So we need to be clear about where we're all going with this before it's completely out of control.
I don't know about you, but I do have days where I put my trust in Trump that he's going to unveil things where we're rejoicing, "It's too much winning, we can't take it anymore!" - but my inner eternal skeptic remains vigilant about nameless/faceless bureaucrats wedging themselves into our lives without invitation & corporate tyrants trying to tell us how it's gonna be... That's just not going to work for We, The People.

I tried calling the IRS the other day. I called three different 800 numbers. I could not get through to a real person at all. I can't get what I need on the IRS website either. They require me to log in using id.me, but they now require me to have a smartphone, which I refuse to have, in order to chat live with someone and show my drivers license to prove who I am. So the IRS has a refund for me, but I have no way to get it.
You'd think that with all the people employed in DC, at least one person could answer the phone.
Who is funding them? Follow the money
THIS!
Just wait until the issue of payroll taxes comes up....
Lost revenue - AI "cheating the system"...
Then we're gonna have "rights for AI and robots" and all the other horseshit that comes along with clown world 2.0...
Can you see that far into the not too distant future?

We'd better NOT! 🤬
