Just a brief comment. What feeds the beast? Could it be human greed and pride. The beast banks on it.
In this context, I believe it’s data that feeds the beast. To starve the beast it means to starve it of data. To starve it of data it means to not use any of it and where you have to use it make it salty.
The thing to remember about AI music is that while it maybe flat and lack soul or sonic depth to the ear of a musician most people listen to music thru those tiny little ear buds (which have already destroyed a % of their hearing) not proper speakers or hi go system. Also consider who is listening – not people who love music with a passion.
The music will be “good enough” to consume like that, especially since their musical palattes have been trained on auto tune voices and sythn instruments…..sure real food tastes better but if you grew up eating ass n lips burgers you will like them just fine. I have had to train my wife not to consume AI slop because some of it is actually funny or good.
What kinda worries me about AI music is that it’s kinda like no one knows what food additives actually do….music will shape kids brains andnif they grow up listening to AI no one knows wtf it will do to their brain structure. Maybe nothing maybe something bad.
Comparing the letters and newspapers of people in the 1860s you see a MASSIVE decline in vocabulary and speach complexity today….I know someone who has to be very careful talking to people at work because a lot of adults seriously don’t understand wtf is being said if sentences are too long or non technical words too big. This the media is simplified and a cycle of lower quality puts more and more limits on people’s potential in a feedback loop rewarding low quality
It’s literally mathusian in how the gap between people and NPCs is being made wider and wider- AI slop is literally ” putting the village in a swamp ” so the less fit get sick.
As a Dune and Frank Herbert enthusiast, I think it a no-brainer that the Butler in his Butlerian Jihad was Samuel Butler.
I am a fan of the books (not a massive fan but I liked them) and recall being really mad about the 1984 film being so awful …..
Weirdly that film got massively better when one of the kids made me watch the new film

Been awhile since I’ve posted admittedly. Totally unrelated to this video I had a weird moment of intuition this morning, when I woke up somewhere between a deep sleep and half awake I heard/thought the words “cyber pandemic.” Immediately started doing some research on my phone and somehow ended up back at the CR. This is a topic I haven’t thought about in quite awhile! I have however been thinking about the US economy and the 2008 style crash that seems inevitable at this point. What if they cover up said crash with a “cyber plandemic.” Create a crises in the financial sector, then sell the public on digital ID’s and currency. Just my rambles on a Tuesday morning!
Anyway I hope this post finds whoever may be reading it safe and happy!! Have a great day!!

I think it an interesting “coincidence” that this orgasmic explosion of data centers should coincide with the Gulf War with its drastic curtailment of the global supply of energy, sulfur (copper and silver), and helium (semi chips), and a general supply chain disruption, as well as the collapse this year of the multi quadrillion dollar derivative pyramid with an inevitable result of a credit collapse and freeze-up of the global credit system. What will be the outcome the interaction of these two events?

AI boom hits breaking point: More than half of US data centers placed on hold
2:45 minutes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQK9JhfirEk
DESCRIPTION
According to a recent Bloomberg report, more than half of the data centers slated for development across the United States this year are projected to be delayed.
The constraint stems from shortages of critical electrical equipment, limiting the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence infrastructure.
As the U.S. economy becomes more deeply integrated with data centers powering artificial intelligence, developers are struggling to obtain essential components such as transformers, switchgear, and batteries, all of which are required to bring facilities online.
In Abilene, where a large-scale data center campus is currently underway, residents weighed in on the accelerated pace of development. Chris Warmack described the effort as fast-paced and shaped by strong market demand.
“A lot of companies saw this huge boom and felt the need to act quickly. Nobody really planned ahead or considered potential shortages,” Warmack said. “I think they will continue to build these data centers because they come with a promise of profit. They assume that it’ll be as simple as just going out there and building them. Once challenges start to arise, they have to rethink their plans and announce delays. I think these companies were moving way too quickly. Now we’re seeing the aftermath of that.”
Some residents highlighted broader supply chain challenges impacting various industries. Lilly Sanchez referenced issues her brother has encountered in his line of work.
“My brother works for Tesla. He works with the machinery. They have constant delays and don’t have enough equipment,” she said. “If these delays are already happening with Tesla, then it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they’re also happening with these data centers.”
Other residents, like Christian Atinyo, focused on the technical requirements necessary to sustain reliable operations.
“Operating a data center requires about 99.99% reliability. You can’t depend on a local grid to provide that kind of power. It has to be a layered approach. You need fuel cells, renewable energy, and energy storage, among other things. Unfortunately, all of those components are sourced from outside of the United States. We can’t regulate what goes on in other countries.”

Giant Data Center Developer Fermi Crashes 22% After CEO, CFO Abruptly Quit

EXCERPTS
Last November, we warned that storms clouds were gathering over the torrid, and in some cases chaotic, rollout of US data centers, after Fermi’s massive 11 GW energy and data center project in Texas, called Project Matador, which the company has envisioned to be the world’s largest AI data center and energy campus in the Texas Panhandle, near Amarillo, was struggling to close the deal with its first major data center tenant (and since Fermi is set up as REIT that allocates income from tenants to shareholders, the delay may raise doubts about attracting other potential money-generating tenants, in a toxic feedback loop)…
…As we reported in late 2025, Fermi – which has been developing a massive AI campus in Texas that it expects to initially power with natural gas and eventually plans to add as many as four nuclear reactors – has been dogged by challenges in recent months, including the loss of a key anchor tenant for the site….

Looking at all that information you’ve gathered has helped , thanks. It’s a POSIWID for me since I know so little about it. One thing I do know, and recently become aware of, as your highlighted Zitron author indicated ” but then you look a little closer, and things start getting a little more vague”… I’m no historian like you but I’m pretty sure It’s not what TPTSB say it is and will work and do the opposite of what they say it will and sell it as.
Another ripple in time. As though we haven’t seen this before, knowing how old we are it’s amazing but our memories still work fairly well. It will be another cycle and I propose a slogan for the propaganda machine. Borrowing from Corbetts ” data is the new oil” you can only hope…
” Data centers will be the future’s Shopping Malls.” Or ” Malls of the future, Data Centers !
And don’t we know how that turned out for Mom and Pop.
I am at 42:59. What happens to the water? Where does it go? Is it contaminated once used? Can it be “rejuvenated”? I will listen further to see if these questions are broached.
I think just before that (around 40 mark) he said it evaporates into the atmosphere. Sounds like its not a matter of contamination but more an issue of your well drying up.
The Ogallala Aquifer is a massive, shallow water table underlying 174,000 square miles across eight U.S. states (Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming).
It mainly flows west to east and northwest to southeast.
It supports roughly one-fifth of U.S. agricultural wheat, corn, and beef production, but faces severe depletion due to an unsustainable agricultural pumping rate. The recharge rate (from rainfall) might be 1/2 to one inch yearly.
In many areas there are natural ‘contaminants’ in the groundwater. In the panhandle of Texas, the groundwater can contain very high amounts of fluoride. Arsenic and even radioactive particles can be found in groundwater.
Perchlorate accumulation on food crops from groundwater irrigation in the Texas panhandle and west Texas is a real issue. Perchlorate can mess with the thyroid and gawd-knows-what.
Perchlorate is a sensitive topic for the military, because of its association with munitions and health concerns.
Texas Tech is in the panhandle. A Texas Tech Dean of Chemistry authored a study on perchlorate and its effect on health. I was at his lecture and asked if Texas Tech gave him grief…and they did. Texas Tech has close affiliations with the military.
In the early 2000s, legendary Texas oilman T. Boone Pickens made headlines by purchasing massive groundwater rights in the Texas Panhandle.
He planned a multibillion-dollar, 250-mile pipeline to sell billions of gallons annually to cities like Dallas, Fort Worth, San Antonio, and El Paso.
But locals gave him shit for wanting to pipe the water out of the Panhandle. He eventually sold the rights to the Canadian River Municipal Water Authority.
[I haven’t yet watched this video but] my understanding (from a lecture I saw a few months ago by a fellow who specializes in getting locations for data centers) is that data centers can use “dry cooling” if water availability is a problem. This is the way home air conditioners work, at least in humid climates. It requires a lot more energy, and is more costly to build and operate, but doesn’t need to evaporate water. Another option is geothermal, again more expensive and complex but doesn’t need to consume water.
I wonder if this technological dystopia might just be more of an ‘op than reality and is really a giant mafia money laundering scheme … perhaps, before a real geological catastrophe occurs. I don’t see how it is actually possible to create a global digital control lockdown. This does give me hope.
…but when you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out (in)
10GW datacenter essentially requires 10x 1GW nuclear plants. Apparently, 1GW is the standard denomination.
— 4 dots southwest of Dallas/Fort Worth Texas —
On the AI Data Center Map, southwest of Dallas/Ft Worth is a town called Granbury with 4 (or 5) dots to its south. I’ve been in and out of this area, and Mineral Wells, since the 1960’s-70’s.
Take the far-right dot, just above the meandering bend in the Brazos River.
Click on it and the description is “Unknown Crypto Facility.”
To its southwest, you will see “Comanche Creek Reservoir.” On its south side are the twin towers of “Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant.”
ANECDOTE: As a young man in the 1970’s, I worked two or three days at the nuclear plant when it was being built. I remember slopping through the parking-lot mud of the construction sight towards the hiring trailer. I opened the door and all these burly men were gathered around on the floor yelling and throwing dice in a craps game. I was stunned and intimidated – green to the real world. A guy gave me a short form application and I would start the next day. In the twin tower domes, scaffolding with loose thick wooden planks covered ‘floors’ all the way near the top. My job was to push a broom and let the dust fall through the plank gaps to the fellas below me. I’m not kidding. I quit after a day or two.
LBJ had made sure his friends at “Brown and Root” got the contract for “Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant.” “Brown and Root” had been having financial difficulties. Previous to Dick Cheney, Halliburton Company bought “Brown and Root.”

Oncor Electric Delivery Company’s Dinosaur to Longshore 765kV Transmission Line Project

The proposed transmission line project will be approximately 235-270 miles long depending on the route to west Texas.
The route would run directly along the perimeter of Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose (Somerville County) and within 1,500 feet of local residents’ homes.
Oncor plans to build massive, 200-foot-tall steel transmission towers. It is one of the highest-voltage lines ever proposed in Texas.
Texas Public Policy Foundation estimates the 765kV projects will cost $90–100 billion over its lifetime, and Texas citizens will be paying for those additional costs on their electric bill.

EXCERPT
Gas in the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico is so plentiful that producers are having to pay buyers to get rid of it.
Bloomberg reports that there is so much inventory that it exceeds available pipeline capacity.
“Prices aren’t merely cheap, they’re negative,” states the April 29 article, noting that Permian gas hit an all-time low of -$9.60 per million British thermal units on April 24.
In the Permian, gas prices have dipped below zero intermittently since 2019 as pipeline construction failed to keep pace with soaring production. But this year, negative pricing has been more pronounced than ever.

EXCERPTS
Texas is planning to take 4,000 linear miles of private land to build three new 765kV power lines. They claim it is necessary to move energy from the east side of the state to the Permian Basin to meet the region’s energy needs.
This defies logic. The Permian Basin has one of the most abundant natural gas sources in the world. Their plan is akin to hauling water to the sea.
Rather than destroy thousands of miles of family lands and businesses, the State should be encouraging the development of local, reliable power sources.
Instead of imposing tens of billions of dollars in new transmission costs – already 40% of the Texas consumer’s electric bill – they should be implementing real market reforms.
Landowners will lose a minimum of $8.2 billion as land is condemned and properties devalued. Transmission companies will pay a fraction of that in compensation to landowners. Yet, they are guaranteed to reap billions of dollars annually from the project.
Policymakers must address the core issues with the Texas power grid instead of taking private land to build giant power lines that will do little to improve power reliability for Texans….

On the AI Data Center Map, southwest of Ft Worth is a town called Granbury with 4 (or 5) dots to its south.
I have already identified the far-right dot, just above the meandering bend in the Brazos River.
On the current map, it is described as “Unknown Crypto Facility.”
CORRECTION – It is named: MARA Granbury Data Center
REFERENCE & DETAILS LINK: https://corbettreport.com/butlerian-jihad-when/#comment-187120
To the southwest “MARA Granbury Data Center”, you will see “Comanche Creek Reservoir”, locally known as ”Squaw Creek” and serves as a 3,275-acre reservoir and “Safe Shutdown Impoundment” for the nuclear plant.
On its south side (west) is “Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant,” a two-unit nuclear plant with a capacity of 2,300 megawatts.
INCORRECT LABEL
A dot just east of the “Comanche Creek Reservoir” is incorrectly labeled.
It currently states: Amazon AWS – 2300 Coates Road Granbury, Texas 76048. (Hood County)
2300 Coates Road Granbury, Texas 76048 is the address for Squaw Creek Park, owned by Luminant Generation Company (a subsidiary of Vistra Corp.) which operates the nuclear plant.
https://www.luminant.com/squaw-creek-park/
Amazon AWS 2300 Coates Road was CANCELLED.
The original Amazon AWS proposal was for Hood County. That changed to the site of Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant in Somerville County.
Amazon AWS – Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant – 6322 FM 56, Glen Rose, TX 76043
Here are the key takeaways:
– Amazon to develop 18 two-story data center buildings across approx. 435 acres, potentially representing a $5 billion investment.
– The campus would sit beside the 2.4 GW Comanche Peak Nuclear Plant, offering a stable and high-capacity power source.
– County officials are moving forward with a development agreement that includes initial payments and annual contributions tied to building roll-out. Construction could begin as early as 2027 if terms are finalized.

Benn Jordan is a sound expert, and knows about Infrasound.
He visited the area surrounding the “MARA Granbury Data Center’ and spoke to people who were adversely affected by the infrasound. Benn took recordings, and also set-up a monitoring station for when he is not there.
In January 2026, Benn Jordan published the video

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
— INFRASOUND —
Infrasound refers to low-frequency sound waves below 20 Hz, which fall beneath the threshold of human hearing. While you cannot consciously hear them, your body can physically feel these deep vibrations.
Per NIH (National Institutes of Health)
— Key Effects on the Human Body —
~~~ Sensory Distortions and Discomfort:
Infrasound can stimulate the vestibular system in your inner ear, triggering dizziness, vertigo, and a motion-sickness-like effect. It can also cause ear pressure, tinnitus, and headaches.
~~~ Psychological Reactions:
Because infrasound is not consciously perceived, it has been linked to unexplained feelings of unease, anxiety, panic, or even the eerie sensation of being watched. At roughly 18.9 Hz, some studies have linked infrasound to reports of visual distortions and “ghostly” apparitions.
~~~ Sleep and Mood Disturbances:
Chronic exposure—often associated with occupational environments or proximity to heavy industrial machinery and wind turbines—can lead to poor sleep quality, fatigue, depression, and poor concentration.
~~~ Physical and Internal Vibrations:
Because low-frequency, long-wavelength sounds pass easily through solid objects and human tissue, they can cause your internal organs and chest cavities to resonate. At very high intensities, this resonance can cause nausea, intestinal pain, and even changes in your heart rate and breathing.

Datacenters Behaving Like Acoustic Weapons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_bP80DEAbuo&t=549s
After diving deep into the proposed Data Centers in this specified Hood and Somerville County areas, mostly I noticed bullshit hype connected to hypothetical concepts and agreements.
Pipe-dream thought bubble.
Personally, I doubt that many of the nation’s planned data centers will ever break ground.
I think most of these data centers are only in the conceptual phase.
And I think that many of the data centers under construction or completed will fail logistically and economically.
And also Wall Street will take a big hit with this hyped bubble.
Also, if citizens are protesting a data center in their area, what company wants to be associated with that bad PR?
The Amazon data center on the property of an active nuclear power plant makes sense, ‘cuz if ya live near a nuclear plant – it’s on you.
FACTOR
Mountains of money has been pouring into the Tech Stocks.
From there, money is thrown across the nation in data center planning.
Wait till the money flow dries up.
And it will.
I’ve seen it before in Oklahoma when billions of gas/oil investment money flowed in. Money was thrown to buy up mineral rights. But eventually the money flow dried up.
Sometimes it doesn’t end well when the money stops.
e.g. Aubrey McClendon of Chesapeake Energy got suicided in a remote controlled car which burst into flames when it directly pushed against a concrete wall going 70mph.
You can bet your Texican posterior most of these projects are nothing but a PCP pipe dream. Which does not detract substantially from the atrocity of existing centers.
We have one obscenely large datacenter planned in my neck of the woods, too. The media was salivating over 50 billion investment a brief spell ago.
We have one nuclear power plant (and divvying it with Slovenia) which by itself is insufficit to power this elusive project. They are also “planning” to build it in an arid area. Nothing adds up about this nothing burger.
The spiel about it doss not skip the slave spiel. “It’s going to provide jobs” they say. Just like concentration camps provided jobs, first to build and then to run.

You may be righter than you really want to be. This talk between Dr.Sansone and Hrvoje Moric discuss this very topic. The rush is on. The moves by Mexico will need some storage space but what is available? Where is it available? The North American Technate will need some more capacity for all they have planned. The rest of the countries in the other technates are hell bent for leather to implement their transition to a complete digital gulag. Maybe it depends as Moric said on how rapidly you complete; may allow you to choose which gulag technate you become a part of. Some will be considered preferable over others. Some will surely be hellholes. As far as money ? They discuss the replacement of the Petro dollar with a dollar backed digital currency . This will allow them to just keep printing money as before. Will it all be far enough along to make the 2030 deadline.? Probably not but who really knows? Food will play a big part, much bigger than petrol.
https://www.josephsansone.com/p/hrvoje-moric-on-mind-matters-and-7c6
Well, you very well can’t have your digital gulag without your digital currency, can you now? Get back in line, bend over and take a deep breath!

“…now, Data is considered to make the world spin.

The loss of physical freedom is not the biggest danger….most people thru most history have not had what moderns call “freedom”
This talk linked is scary because it feeds into how we have the set up now to take away the very nature of modern humans and turn them into robots
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5xG_2D0WaPc&pp=ygUVUmUgYmljYW1lcmFsIGJyYWluIGFp&ra=m
The danger is (as I think Mr Corbett said ,when talking about gamification iirc) that people will loose the mental capacity of being human….when their thoughts are no longer their own.
That’s why some folks correctly throught the Soviet Union was LESS destructive than Neo liberalism because as bad as the Soviets were they were not capable of making stuff that destroyed every normal human link and interaction……someone here commented that the guy in the Novel powerless actually didn’t have “such” a bad life and true because the system cared about obedience and couldn’t or didn’t care to re write his , or societys mind beyond the surface layer of “do what we say”….
It’s weird because the materialist soviets were functionally less evil because they didn’t believe in (and thus didn’t chase after) the soul but the modern system does on some level believe in human nature and hate it and wish to kill it
I found a letter in my stuff from 1878 written by a 16 yo girl (Lissa. It was a bit fuzzy but absolutely beautiful cursive writing. I asked DuckAI to transcribe it. It kept lying, making up stuff, wrong date, illness, hard times, wierd sign off, and eventually after four sessions I blew up some jpgs of it and transcribed it myself.
MY COPY
>>New Ipswitch, NH, April 9th, 1878
Dear Brother & Sister;
I suppose you don’t know that we have moved again well we have. Old Rice didn’t own the place and the man that held the mortgage took possession and gave us a week to move in so we came up here.>>
>>I expect I shall be an old maid for I am seventeen next Sept. and not married yet.>>
>>Please write to me very soon and all the news.
From your Sister Lissa.
I will write some to Jennie on the other side.>>
>>Dear Sister Jennie;
I received you letter last night was glad to hear from you, and thought as I was writing I would write to you.
This is a real pretty place and I like ever so much. We have got a great big house of thirteen rooms it sits on a hill and is a very pretty place. >>
[No mention of illness or difficult journey in my transcription]

AI VERSION
>>New Ipswitch, June 20th 1864s (Ah, 14 years off)
>>Dear Brother, I received yours of the 21st and was glad to hear from you. We have been very anxious about you but hope you are well.>>
>>There were many people in the wagons and the horses would not go very fast.>>
(In one version):
My health is good and I have no complaint at present. The baby grows so fast and keeps us busy. (A baby??)
(In another version):
I have not been sick since I left but I have been very poorly. I could not stand on my feet three weeks after I came here. I could not get any ?? and had to take my meals in bed.
Goodbye for the present.
May the Lord bless and keep you until we meet. Write often and tell us how you fare.
From your affectionate sister, (Affectionate sister??)
Mary (Mary should be Lissa)

And this is what we will have shortly with the BILLIONS of dollars being invested in thousands of “data centers” that may be given the authority like in Japan to fine you or worse for something they consider bad behavior, or perhaps not consider it all all and just intentionally choose names and identities fed into it?
As I’ve said before, this issue has been in my wheel house for a long time.

UPDATE
As I have understood it and “told” by DuckAI they retain no memory of past questions, a one an done thing.
I missed this earlier when I posted the above:
It said one of the questions I posted that it “Couldn’t read the jpgs of the letter.”
ME: I tried this with you a half hour ago and you had no issue transcribing??
AI: Sorry — I couldn’t read the small, low-contrast images you uploaded earlier (about 15 mins.)
If you believe the previous images were readable and want me to retry the ones you already sent, say “Retry previous images” and I’ll attempt another transcription with them.
ME: Retry previous images please
AI: I’ll retry the images you already uploaded and transcribe verbatim into four columns
So much for AI not harvesting information on us.
Data is the new oil.
@mkey
Please explain, thanks.
I was commenting on “So much for AI not harvesting information on us.”. These companies are absolutely starving for data. JC put it in words many years ago: data is the new oil. He hit the nail on the head. This type of pronouncements keep resonating over the decades.
I believe the unavoidable, and likely impending, “AI” boom is going to be majestic*, fueled by an incestuous “AI” consumption of slop produced by “AI”. As more and more slop fills the internet, they are going to use more and more of it to train the models. They likely can’t prevent it while they have to keep churning out new models to keep the ball rolling.
*terrible
@mkey
I’ll try again. What I am asking is just what does it mean it is the “new oil” as I don’t know what the old oil is 🙂
The old oil is oil 1.0. Oil 2.0 is data. They make the machine churn and grind. Capiche?
@mkey
Even though I am 1/2 Italian 🙂 not really. I just don’t have the “data base” for that sort of alliteration or whatever it is called. Pop culture speak or something.
But thanks for trying.
@mkey
I did some thinking about this…
With 50 years of no TV/Movies my reality foundation is not like most. I’ve no “heroes” or favorite commercials, catch phrases, etc. from the 2D world.
The 2d screen world puts people on a same-think level of expression, such as Agency, Existential Threat, Literally, Pick a Lane, Narrative, Overton Window, etc. and verbalizing nouns like grow or lunch.
I’ve been self educated except and helped out from various tribal and metaphysical elders.
Here’s an example. In 1980 working at KPFA Radio in Berkeley I helped organize the American Indian Movement Long Walk For Survival and many kept on to DC and some of us went to the Survival Gathering in South Dakota in a sheep pasture next to Ellis Air Force Base.
I was sitting talking with the late Wallace Black Elk, a relative of the NA in the John Neihardt novel, Black Elk Speaks. Wallace would get buried for a few days with just an air hose coming down to him to travel in a different plane of reality for knowledge and wisdom.
He and Grace Black Elk and I were just chatting, and Wallace with his ciggy going. Since the gathering was attended by 15,000 people from around the world some interesting characters were around.
A young guy came up and was going to school Wallace about something he felt was important. He had that fast, “young surfer dude” style of speaking. He told Wallace, something like… “there’s this building in New York that all the heavy guys are there that control things and it is at 6 6 6 blah blah street” and then just leaned in to get Wallace’s reaction.
Wallace had been watching him all the time and just took a long drag on his ciggy and said…”Ah ha.”
So when you say “Data is the new oil” I’ve just a basic 2D knowledge base (except those words above that AI gave me) and and why I asked what was the ‘old oil’ inquiring what did you mean by saying that. Something like Pajama People is pretty evident, or Rip Off The Bandage, etc. as well.
Hope this offers some insight that I was not being rude, just honest about my lack of jargon.
EJ Doyle
I Think he is referring to Mr Corbetts work from a ways back
https://corbettreport.com/data-is-the-new-oil/
@Duck
Doesn’t matter to who or what he was referring Duck. As I said above I just don’t understand a lot of what you guys talk about when using 2D references.
Like I don’t know what a ‘whisperer’ is and don’t want to. My HD in my head is filled with so much other stuff that jargon has no room at the inn 🙂
Thanks
Well, for better context I would recommend this https://corbettreport.com/episode-324-data-is-the-new-oil/ along with the “Why Big Oil Conquered the World” documentary.
My baseline understanding of “data is the new oil” is that oil (stuff from which the fuel you put in your car is derived) used to be what made our “world spin”. The most important thing in our slave jargon, as we have to justify all manner of godless acts that cater to acquisition of it, is to accept that without oil we would perish. And, in fact, in this current iteration of our civilization, without oil many would perish. Not because it has to be like that, because it would be like that. We are expected to justify wars, bombing of brown people back to the stone age, pollution, destruction of the environment, transfer of wealth, etc.
In Duneiverse, this expression would tantamount to “spice must flow”.
To close the circle, now the data is considered to make the world spin. And again we are expected to bear the burden of acquisition of it. That will involve destruction of the environment, huge increase in electrical power production expenditures and its effects on everything else, data collection, final stages of erosion of privacy, etc.
There you go, got it. Thanks.
You’re welcome. There is nothing like answering some questions to refine your line of thinking and put your ducks in the order.
James,
Thanks for reading all those books in preparation for this podcast. I never knew what a Luddite was or even a Butlerian Jihadist, yet it all fits the technocratic narrative that they would create such things so as to frame their opposition as some kind of Terrorist.
Why are all these technocrats Zionists? They seem to have a way of replacing good with bad or turning everything on it’s head? The Devil can get good people do bad things by way of lies and deception, and the deceived will often think that they are doing good. My father used to say, “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”
Indeed, people need to think long and hard about the results of their actions. The Zionist Oligarchs have a way of using people who can be unwittingly manipulated. A good example of this might be how Sirhan Sirhan was convicted of killing RFK when the L.A. County Coroner reported that the fatal shots came to the back of the head at point black range. Sirhan Sirhan was clearly several feet in front of RFK but was programed by the Zionist control CIA’s mind control project to think he was at a gun range when a command was given. Even though he never intended to hurt anyone, he was able to be deceived into thinking he was shooting at targets at a gun range, and fired shoots into a crowed room..
Truth seeker
“…. Why are all these technocrats Zionists….”
They are not.
Don’t get me wrong, plenty of them are Jews and will no doubt lean into Zionism when it’s not gonna harm their own aims, but the Technocrats are their own branch of Jewish thinking just like the Bolsheviks were.
Well, that was totally nauseating. And another ‘little’ detail about Data Centra is that the noise makes people very sick. It is infrasound, basically an acoustic weapon. Benn Jordon did the research.
This was an incredibly rich, scopic, thoughtful and informative show. From Herbert to Luddites to the draining of aquifers by data centres. I was amazed at the research, James, the dedication in weaving this vital story together for us and landing on actions and urgency. Thank you!
A big subject indeed. I’ve never been interested in using AI personally. I work for one of those WEF supporting firms who are shoving it down our throats, and we have to work at it to train it to ensure our jobs will be redundant in the near future. Not a scrap of thought given to the environmental impact, but the firm is supposedly all about climate change and blah blah.
I disagree with the notion that the sentiment is anti-AI. I know a handful of people who share my views, everyone else is also trying to shove it down my throat in various ways (after their enormous surprise at meeting such a Luddite as I). They wax lyrical about the conversations they’re having with “Chat” and “Claude”.
And by the way I have actually been called a Luddite, by a retired man in his sixties who spends almost all his spare time in nature. There ye go!
Thank you for this especially encouraging episode of Solutions Watch and the enticing list of books and other resources in the Show Notes. Great job!

GoPro shares have been under pressure since last fall, when memory prices began to soar as AI data center buildouts tightened global supply and diverted capacity away from consumer electronics.
On Monday, GoPro filed an 8-K with the SEC, warning of “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue as a going concern and stating that it expects to file an update to its financial statements…
…Last month, GoPro’s own filing warned of an “unprecedented increase and volatility in memory component costs.”…
