    For someone who is engrossed in SCIFI what he is presenting will be salvaged from the wreckage is terribly optimistic.

    If society doesn’t wake up and organize itself the data centers will likely be used as the operational epicenter of the dystopian police state.

    One could easily argue that is the expected end use of the data centers by their owners and the AI hype cycle is deliberare con forcing the plebs to forge their own chains with their retirement accounts.

      That’s the intended goal of big tech AI orgs. AI is a weapon and is sold to governments using fear as the key motivator. It is the same as any other weapons manufacturer. The military budget has few constraints and corporations know this. AI won’t fail. Governments will make sure of it because they will be dependent on it, just likes all other weapons.
