Shadowy International Organization(s) Fighting US Data Centers

[Yazata]

Those proposing building AI data centers have noticed the sudden appearance of thousands of social media posts opposed to the centers. Many of the posts appeared to originate from bots.

Kevin Leary says, "We uncovered something far bigger than I ever expected. After seeing coordinated false attacks against the Utah data center project, we brought in an advanced data science team to trace where the content was coming from and the results were shocking. What we found led back to organized networks, political activist groups, and funding trails tied to massive international entities. We dug through IRS 990 filings, tracked IP data from around the world, and uncovered what appears to be a coordinated campaign targeting energy and data center projects across multiple regions.

I shared 90 pages of evidence with federal law enforcement and raised concerns directly with contacts at the White House. This isn’t speculation. The filings, funding records, dates, and connections are documented. There’s a coordinated PR war happening around energy infrastructure and data centers, and we’re not going to ignore it."

He says that he believes that the spiderweb leads back to China, which I'm guessing wants to slow down or halt the development of AI in the United States and perhaps elsewhere (he mentions Alberta). If AI is the future, as many people insist, then Beijing might want to ensure that they end up on top. China doesn't give activist organizations, zoning boards or environmentalists a veto over strategic infrastructure.

I should add that this kind of left-orchestrated opposition wouldn't seem to be as applicable to Elon's vision of solar powered orbital data centers

No doubt in my mind that there are American disinformation groups targeting China. Political games. I’d bet all big powers doing it. Is Leary attempting to create an election issue?

I guess the concerns with large AI data centres is really about who has them, why they have them, and what it does to the overall economy?.

The concern that other countries to the US will have is that if the US builds up data centres then it increases what they will be doing with them such as processing vast quantities of personal data (both domestic and foreign) It might be suggested that its for economic gain, but as with what was suggested with Cambridge Anayltica, it's more the concern that its weaponised.

Specifically when merged with satellite networks being used as BCI's (already prototyped) to "Mind Control". (More nutjobs blasting the whitehouse lawn.)

As for what it does for the overall economy, we aren't just talking about the shake up of people in regards to their jobs or the capacity that people with lesser skills will now have access to do things they couldn't possible do previously (which sometimes would of been a good things, as for instance an AI capable of cooking up bombs or drugs would allow those that couldn't do that to have the opportunity to cause problems that otherwise wouldn't have existed.)

Another concern to the economy is literally chipsets. More data centres bumps up the prices of processors and other chipsets (such as RAM) and this effects anyone computer related hobbiest as well as those that have businesses that require such equipment in quantity. (It ends in the same problem thats happened since 2020 in regards to people buying up new Graphics cards when they come out and then automatically resell them at 4-5 times the price.)

It is something that people should be talking about. An AI query can use up to 10-50 times more energy than a traditional Google search. A mid-size dater center uses around 300-50,000 gallons of water per day, and a large data center uses 1-5 million gallons of water per day.

As long as the cost of upgrading utility infrastructure for these high-usage companies isn't passed on to the entire customer base, the US does need to keep ahead of the AI race (with US-owned companies).

How data centers may lead to higher electricity bills

And don't forget about the water usage.


"Meta's Hyperion AI data center will sprawl to four times the size of Manhattan Central Park.

And there are quotes from people inside of OpenAI, who believe that they're not just building this narrow technology that's helpful blinking cursor. They want to build artificial general intelligence. And so, what that means is being able to do everything that the human mind can do.

And the joke inside the company is like we're going to cover the world in data centers and solar panels. They want to cover the world in essentially these big boxes that have huge clusters of Nvidia chips that then compute away, and ultimately create something like a super intelligent god entity that they believe that they will use to own the world economy, make trillions of dollars, and from a kind of ego-religious intuition...they will have built the god that supersedes and replaces humanity."

We’re still trying to put Physical AI together and already talking about Metaphysical AI.

When we talk about huge data centres are we thinking robots are building and working in them and if so then they won’t be drinking water or using the toilet.
