AI Data Centers Driving Power Costs To Record High

For many householders in America, the next largest payment, aside from their rent or house payment, is their power bill. Get ready for a massive shock. I predict that some consumers will see their energy bills exceed their house payment. AI companies are like petulant children, running roughshod over cities and states to suck up power to the extent of collapsing the power grid. We must put a nationwide moratorium on the construction of any new AI data centers.

The Agentic State: A 20-Year Wish List Finally Realized?

The use of AI agents has nothing to do with increasing efficiency or enforcing rigid rules. Rather, "AI agents take this a step further by introducing systems that can not only generate and analyze data, but also perceive, reason, and act with minimal human intervention." This means that the Reinvention of Government started during the Clinton  Administration. is complete. (Clinton and Gore were members of the Trilateral Commission.) Machine ruling over men: What is wrong with this picture?

Grappling With Existential Panic Over AI

This author is an industry leader who is forced to grapple with AI as a matter of business survival, as are millions of businesses around the world. Learn a new word: Tachyosis - "A state of recursively compounding acceleration — where systems evolve faster than they can stabilize, perception fragments, and causality begins to blur... Civilizations in tachyosis cease to distinguish between signal and noise — they become pure velocity.”

DEFCON 1: Technocracy Being Launched Right Now By Trump Admin

I have warned about Technocracy for almost 20 years, including three books, thousands from articles on Technocracy.news, and countless media interviews. Now, it's too late to stop it. We have just passed the point of inflection where Technocrats have seized control of the Trump Administration. Yes, he was more than just complicit.

How Should Christians Respond To Transhumanism?

Driven by a craving to be free from divine control, Transhumans are sure that God made a huge mistake when He created the "death gene". This now can be overcome, they reason, when genetic scientists figure out where He put it in the first place. Further, once they achieve the "posthuman" immortality, they have no clear idea of what life would like other than Utopian. The Transhuman error is rooted in age-old Gnosticism and Scientism.

Zuckerberg “Focused” On Building Mega Gigawatt-Size Data Centers

Meta's proposed Hyperion, one of many, will scale up to consume 5 Gigawatts of power, or enough to power between 3,750,000-4,500,000 homes. Compare that to New Jersey, which had 3,818,712 homes in 2024. What's in Zuckerberg's mind? He's sure, double-down really sure, that Meta will be first company to achieve Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI), which will give him control over the whole world.

It’s Here: The Externalization of the Agentic State

Once an AI LLM model can create a single autonomous agent, it can create millions or billions. There is no limit, except for the compute capacity of the ginormous data centers being constructed all over the country. Humans can create Agents but so can the AI itself. Imagine a swarm of AI Agents created by an algorithm to make your life miserable - never giving up, ever expanding, ever intrusive!

Announcing: Elon Musk’s “Grok For Government”

The General Services Administration (GSA) was the first target for Elon Musk when DOGE was getting started, where one of his lieutenants is still in charge of the AI/Tech center. Clever, Elon. Now the GSA is the hub for all future sales to all government agencies, including the Department of Defense. But wait, there's more... Grok for Government will be available to every government entity in America, including states and cities. Buckle up, America!

Danger! Kids Are Chatting With AI Like it’s Their Best Friend

As an adult, I can ask AI to locate a research paper for me without striking up a conversation about my personal problems. Not so with kids. AI is becoming a snare and an idol, and for the first time in the history of the world, it can speak with you directly. Is it possible that AI developers in Silicon Valley are aware that they are creating such a system of idolatry? Yes, considering all the chatter about AI God in the AI community.
