I get the feeling the 3,000+ data centers aren’t being built so everyone can generate slop, but instead are going to end up being the infrastructure for the digital cage. AI won’t replace humans, but it can certainly spy on them quite effectively. Big tech and the U.S. government have been trending towards a fascist merger of state and corporate power for quite some time, and the FBI’s recent partnership with Flock and OpenAI becoming an official member of the military industrial complex are not good news.
I fear we are headed towards a historically unprecedented ability for governments to track and control the populace. No matter what, these data centers are not for the benefit of the average citizen.
When was the last time you heard someone mention the NSA? After Snowden’s revelations, one thing that was pointed out was you need massive storage for all of the surveillance data. Interpreting text and visual data being one of the strongest abilities of this AI, it seems obvious that this is what the real push to make it omnipresent is for. All of our data to be fed into the machine to generate lists of dissidents.

It seems they’d better hurry up and finish, because the natives are getting restless and sabotaging construction projects is really cheap.
