Danger, Danger, Data Center Disasters Everywhere [View all]

Why are these environmental, human, economic catastrophes happening at breakneck speed?
I think it's either one of two things:

1. Soft invasion. Aliens have infiltrated our planet in a stealth manner and they are building "data centers" for some unknown reason.

2. "AI" is already in control. Along the lines of Hal or Cylons or Terminators.

Greed alone can't explain this extremely rapid build out of data centers nation wide and world wide.

The fact that local officials up to governors and congress people are signing NDA's and making these deals without any local citizen/taxpayers knowledge makes it clear it is nefarious.

The Utah project is called Stratos. 40,000 acres, the size of 2,000 Walmarts. Goodbye to what's left of the Great Salt Lake.

The Louisiana project is called Hyperion. Only 4,000 acres. Power Demand: Designed to scale up to 5 GW of computational capacity. This amount of power roughly equals what New York City uses on a typical winter day.

STOP THE MACHINES!
