AI data centres – What data is that then?

Here’s the question everyone is forgetting to ask: WHAT DATA?
Everyone from Musk on down is telling you we need to build huge data centers for AI. Texas, where I
am from and where Musk now lives, is leading the call for AI data centers, planning to spend billions
building not only the centers but the power plants to feed them. Although Texas famously can’t supply
its current grid, with dangerous blackouts hitting major cities, it is claiming it will need to more than
double its output by 2030, just to supply the computers.
But why? What data are they talking about? There is no exponential increase in expected data over the
next decade, and if there is some increase, it will just be these machines learning what we already
know. But our brains can already store what we need to know without plugging into sockets, so what’s
this all about? We just aren’t that smart. We don’t have that much quality data. And our machines
can’t be any smarter than we are, since they rely on our input. I hate to tell you, but the amount of
quality input we have as a species and planet is quite small. You could probably fit it all into one
human brain, supposing you cleared that brain out of all trash to start with. The rest of it is just buzz.
As an analogy, think of the lots at Ebay. Literally millions of them. But a large percentage are just
garbage: no one will ever buy them and they should just be thrown away. I sometimes troll through the
art section, and that is especially bad. 99% of it is trash. It is a waste of space and a waste of data to
list it. But no one ever throws anything away. As humans, our “data” is like that across the board.
But with AI, it is even worse, since the machines will then be creating much of the trash data they will
be storing. Their new brains will be that data. And weren’t the machines supposed to make things
simpler, quicker, and cheaper? This is just the opposite, since they will be draining resources at an
even greater rate than we can, killing any gains from a lower population. As I see it, it is all bad, with
no upside. Just a collection of big negatives.
This data can’t be government or scientific records, since we have kept those very well for centuries on
paper, with almost no use of electricity. Do they need to double electricity use just so they can store
more and more spy files on us, as at NSA? Filming and recording everything we do 24/7 so they can
blackmail us with it later? Is that what this is about? Or it is just so you can store more 12 megapixel
photos of your vacation and wedding in the “cloud”? Photos you will never look at again.
No, most of this is just the next-level conjob, the latest boondoggle. They need something to tax you
for and not deliver and this is the latest thing. It is getting harder to fool people with military spending,
so I guess they will transfer some of that to this AI hoax. But I trust you notice it sort of runs counter
to Trump’s whole downsizing thing. Downsize the Department of Education, but blow up the
Department of Energy into a Gargantua feeding a metal Monstro.
Plus, if any of this actually happens anywhere but on paper, it is doubly tragic, since it will be an
environmental disaster. Trump already bragged today in his speech to Congress about digging up half
the country to mine for metals and oil, and I guess the other half will be plunged into a black and green
smog of coal burning and fake nuclear plants. All to feed computers and robots we don’t need and that
nobody wants.
If Trump and his boys in oil and minerals want to dig, I suggest they go to Greenland. Lots of good
digging to do there with their machines.
Tolkien warned us of this in LOTR, remember? It is what the Hobbiton miller Sandyman subplot was
about, as well as the Orthanc/Saruman subplot, and of course the main Mordor thesis. A world taken
over by the greedy industrialists and their horrible smoke-belching and land-devouring machines.
Nobody wants that but a few cigar-smoking fatcats sitting hugely in their big-city skyscrapers, so you
better make your voice heard. I don’t think Trump heard you. He thinks you want a Riviera in Gaza
and more arms for Israel and more arms expenditures in Europe and a Golden Dome over the US
(didn’t we already waste trillions on Reagan’s similar Star Wars boondoggle?) and an alliance between
Big Tech and Big Pharma and more big polluting industry. I warned you the Republicans would use
the push right to further increase deregulation, and that is what we see happening. Yes, Trump is doing
some good things like jettison DEI, get boys out of girls’ sports, close the border, and so on, but that is
starting to just look like sugar frosting on an acid Mordor cake.
Many of you are wasting your time and energy gloating over the fall of the Dems, which I admit is
scenic, but you better get your attention back on the big picture here. Trump and Musk and the rest of
these jokers are known conmen, so don’t forget that. The Republican party has never been the savior of
the little guy and you can be sure they aren’t now. You have lived a lifetime of bait-and-switches from
both parties, and this is more of the same, you can be sure. We saw Trump appear to do some good
things in his first month—supposing any of them stick—but we also saw him today selling the Laken
Riley hoax, his assassination hoax, his fake lawsuits (think E. Jean Carroll and that fake rape trial), and
the fake events in Israel. Plus, he was reading a script off the Teleprompter written for him by the CIA
and deep state, while pretending to downsize CIA and attack the deep state. The CON did not end on
January 20, 2025, my friend. I am sorry to rain on your party, but this isn’t the time for a party. This is
the time for a revolution, and that revolution will not be led by the Republican Party. I shouldn’t have
to tell you that.
And in related news, even as Trump was speaking to Congress, Blackrock was buying the Panama
Canal ports and 41 other major ports around the world from Hong Kong company C. K. Hutchison.
This is being sold in the media as the canal passing from China to the US, but it isn’t. These are private
companies, so Blackrock ownership is not the same as US ownership. The citizens of the US won’t see
a penny and may be underwriting the sale somehow. It is bad news regardless, since the last thing the
world needs is to see any more companies being gobbled up by Blackrock. The
Blackrock/Vanguard/Fidelity/StateStreet monster now owns most of the world, being a multi-headed
hydra of the trillionaire families. They created these investment groups to hide behind, since they are
not required to list actual owners, but of course it is the Phoenician Navy: the
Rockefellers/Rothschilds/Vanderbilts/Stuarts/Stanleys/Cohens/Morgans/etc. Of course they already
owned all the ports of the world, which have been theirs for 4000 years, but this just confirms it. They
aren’t hiding very well. I would say they aren’t hiding the monopoly very well, either, since only a fool
would believe all these giant investments groups aren’t linked and aren’t hiding the same 100 families.
Don’t believe me? Research C. K. Hutchison for just a few moments and you will find it was founded
by British peers, including a . . . Stanley. Philip Stanley Cassidy, CBE. You will say Stanley was a
transported first name. No, it was a transported last name. He was also a Forbes, as you can tell from
his son’s name: Richard Ross Forbes Cassidy. The Cassidys are related to the Earls of Lathom, and
through them to the Villiers, Earls of Clarendon. The Villiers link us to everyone at the top of the
peerage via the Howards and Stuarts.
Wiki garbles the name as John Duflon Hutchison, but it should be Duflos/Duflot, a French noble name
now closely linked to the Osterreichs, Austrian Emperors. The Hutchisons are Scots nobles related to
the Balfours and Ruggles-Brises, through the latter linking us immediately to the Stewart-Murrays,
Dukes of Atholl. Hutchison’s cousin the 8th Duke was Lord Chamberlain in 1921
