AI will Liberate Humanity! Every household will have their private robot for free! Humans will never work again! And the mass hypnosis droned on and on and on. Except AI agrees that we were lied to. AI: the reality reveals that computing power, energy consumption, and high token usage make AI an exceptionally expensive line item. In fact, so expensive that businesses are shutting down use of AI as it is pricing them out of business.
Nvidia’s Vice President of Applied Deep Learning publicly stated that compute costs for their AI engineering teams far surpass the actual cost of the employees’ salaries. An economic analysis by MIT found that AI is only cost-effective in about 23% of basic jobs; in the remaining 77%, keeping a human worker is the more economically viable option.
Making all those 5,000+ Data Centers ‘obsolete’ and the new ones being built a fictional storyline. It is called ‘token usage’ and small business owners are staring down bills as high as $113,000. Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Microsoft is banning the use of AI by its engineers. The Boom is going to Bust after global spending reaching over $6.7 Trillion.
Across the board tech companies claim that human employees are much more cost effective. But our scholarly education systems have failed to teach real world skills for engineers leaving 80% unemployable. Exasperating a problem that will become exponential as businesses scramble for humans to replace AI. Are we in the beginning stages of an AI bubble?
Many companies were deepening their debt as they bought into the data center hype. Offloading AI means that debt remains with no value to offset it. When the value is gone, companies have to raise their pricing to mitigate the debt. And the inflation cycle ramps up rather quickly. The debt attached via bank loans could see a chapter 11 fallout as companies can’t afford the data costs much less the loans. The Department of War engaging in many of the largest data centers across the country, including in Utah, have yet to book or analyze the costs. And given Hegseth’s extensive ‘math and accounting’ background the Pentagon is going to go broke.
Making Trump’s Military bunker under the Ballroom even more suspect for its unsustainability. Although, on a brighter note, the economic realization may be a pushback for the launch of the ‘digital credit system’ as proposed by the World Economic Forum. Building a global credit and financial system involves monumental outlays, including trillions in infrastructure and immense societal trade-offs. While the structure could be built in roughly 3 years, the integration would take another 7 to 10 years. Variability being country specific.
The land alone for these data centers is in the billions with military intelligence costs considered “classified”. One such data center is owned by the NSA and is located at Camp Williams, Utah. Perspective: The Camp David data center is 1 million square feet. 100,000 of the million is designated mission critical Tier III, while 900,000 square feet is designated technical support and admin – 90%. Completed in 2014, the twenty building complex includes water treatment facilities, chiller plants, electric substation, fire pump house, warehouse, vehicle inspection facility, visitor control center, and sixty diesel-fueled emergency standby generators and fuel facility for a 3-day 100% power backup capability. This was the source for Edward Snowden’s whistleblower release.
The electricity cost for Camp Williams data center is $70 million, Maintenance is another $20 million, water usage is 1.5 million gallons daily. It is built on a desert. The purpose? Surveillance.
While government subsidies have eliminated property taxes on these facilities, their value to the state is a negative number given the depletion of electricity and water. Their employees are not local. And their spectrum of surveillance is on a global as well as national level. In that regard, it is curious why we would need more than one. According to Bloomberg, in 2026 half of all proposed data centers will face delays or cancellation. Why? Shortage of materials and supply chain delays.
Components are not manufactured in the US so contractors need to buy from Canada, Mexico, South Korea and – China. But Trump has created riffs with these countries hemorrhaging land loans, inflating building costs, while interest rates on loans eat up the remaining cash on hand. Which is why corporations are looking into Bond Sales, Bridge Loans, and other means as time frames lag.
With the realization that AI is cost prohibitive, corporations scaling back will create a glut of outstanding loans against vacant land. Banks will look for bailouts. And the circle will stop short. Oracle has $100 billion in debt against an Abilene data center where clients are walking away. Outstanding debt has reached hundreds of billions with Morgan Stanley claiming the need for Trillions in external funding in America alone.
The Military Funding on taxpayer debt? Top Secret – super doper classified. Don’t even ask – whisper…
These arrogant anti-humans (like Fink et al) will hopefully lose tens of billions of investment dollars when the totality of the AI Overbuild plays out.
Already, there are signs that fully 50% of planned data centers will never be built, saddling its investors with land costs that cannot produce income.
Look at the abomination of S. Florida’s planned data centers: they will draw off millions of gallons of fresh water per year from the Biscayne Aquifer. When the aquifer’s water volume is rapidly reduced (by the continuous demands of the date centers’ need for coolant) a direct result of the reduced water pressure will be that the surrounding salt water (Florida is surrounded by salt water!!!) will intrude into the aquifer, befouling it and rendering the water brackish and undrinkable.
Guess who will get massive discounting on the use of that water, while FL residents will pay full–and ever-increasing–premiums on their water bills!
Yet, there exists “closed-loop cooling” technology that could obviated the need for these fresh water drawdowns, but the former are enormously more costly than spraying discounted water on innumerable servers.
I doubt, though, that FL’s water commissioners will hold the data centers to account. A few untraceable bags of silver & gold can do wonders to facilitate the “right” approvals…..
China has a fully integrated AI that surpasses the US and yet only 350+ Data Centers. We have 5,000+ and building more… They are NOT FOR DATA
Correct! Not for data, but for control. Surveillance is a huge part of this but surveillance is just a means to an end.
The end being (again) control.
Don’t look HERE, where the
critical ISSUE actually is—
but over THERE.

P.S.
My gleaning these quotes from Aristotle’s “Politics”—was very, very hard, as he liked to write using lengthly RUN-ON paragraphs :
Forwarded Message
Helena Glass,
Re : Crux of the matter of growing
inter-racial conflicts in this once-mostly-
White West ( pre-Sixties America : 90%
White-European and British at that time )
Aristotle warned us :
—“Masculine republics give way to feminine democracies, and feminine democracies give way to tyranny.”
—On race-mixing :
[ He explains growing loneliness, as non-WHITE foreigners grow in U.S. ]], :
“Another cause of revolution is difference of races which do not at once acquire a common spirit; for a state is not the growth of a day, any more than it grows out of a multitude brought together by accident. Hence the reception of strangers in colonies, either at the time of their foundation or afterwards, has generally produced revolution.”
—On bad democracy :
“[T]he last form of democracy . . . [in which] all share alike . . . [and] the leaders have been in the habit of including as many as they can, and making citizens not only of those who are legitimate, but even of the illegitimate . . . This is the way in which demagogues proceed. Whereas the right thing would be to make no more additions when the numbers of the commonality exceeds that of the notables and of the middle class,—beyond this not to go . . . [these] measures taken by tyrants appear all of them to be democratic. Such a government will have many supporters, for most persons would rather live in a disorderly than in a sober manner.”
—On how to install bad democracy :
”Fresh tribes and brotherhoods should be established; the private rites of families should be restricted and converted into public ones; in short, every contrivance should be adopted which will mingle the citizens with one another and get rid of old connections.”

Well, I just posted but it’s not showing. Summary: Our precious life giving force – water – now cools surveillance machines that surveil us. What are they afraid of? Us?
I found it
Yes, the AI bubble is here and NOW. Everything you reported is on point. Plenty of research material is available but the sleepwalkers prefer sleepwalking. Just today, I shared two videos I watched about the monster data centers. I am trying to awaken friends and family. Even the Pope has made a theological document about the danger of AI warfare. https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/25/europe/pope-leo-ai-encyclical-magnifica-humanitas-intl

Remember the movie Soylent Green? We are here NOW.
Did we ask for this horror? Our water is used to cool surveillance machines.
ya – there were some strange movies – always CIA predictions…
