One nation under surveillance.

Or possibly a private prison for Bluesky users and antifa…

CORRECT

Yes, people remember it's Nazis taking over your life...🤬🙄😡

Surveillance Capitalism is a thing

well, in general, nothing has changed, everything is as usual, libraries, file cabinets, all these are records about us, even rock paintings are not without information 🤣

Got it

AI doesn’t know the questions, therefore it doesn’t know the answers.

And all of the data acquired will be available to the highest bidder. - Which brings us to insurance based health care!

Tween girls uploading cat videos to facebook aren't creating a need for dozens of new, massive data centers. Barney Fife tracking a fugitive rape victim across several states while she's looking for an abortion does.

The government ~ We the People ~ should be PROTECTING OUR PRIVACY.

Rank Country Number of Data Centers 1 United States 5,427 2 Germany 529 3 United Kingdom 523 4 China 449 5 Canada 337 6 France 322 7 Australia 314 8 Netherlands 298 9 Russia 251 10 Japan 222 Why?

There is a reason so many of them are being built in eastern Virginia.

Thanks

Surveillance center so Big Brother can quash any dissent by the people.

If you have tellurium you can feed into the gold on the boards.

Of course it is. It's a population control mechanism to root out any dissenters.

That’s right‼️‼️‼️

Which you use!

Absolutely Correct 👍

We have more than enough compute and storage for our immediate and future needs. You are full of shit.

Also a power and water suck.

My sister in law used to work for the NSA and we’ve had a lot of talks about mass surveillance and the limitations of analytical manpower and processing power. [points at the data centers]

I'll just leave this here.

Add noisy and polluting to the description. Bad neighbors to anyone unfortunate enough to live nearby.

No he doesn't. He should be arresting Elon Musk for election interference, And instead, he allows the Nazi to continue to do Nazi things. Shapiro is no hero. He should be investigated over the lack of prosecution.

Not just surveillance. The tech is already there to deep fake criminal video footage on unsuspecting folk by AI. Hard to argue with video evidence in a court of law.

Surveillance pricing,tracking and censorship have been tools since the computer was invented along with a government working hand in hand with the communications industry

I might be alone in thinking this, but AI seems to be in the beta stages of development. The problem is they are utilizing the world to establish the technology.

Exactly! They don't exist to help us, They exist to ensure we don't rise up against the rich when things get much much worse than they already are.

The usage of the "it's not [x], it's [y]" structure is really the cherry on top here

Nope, it's a huge cluster of gpu's & cpu's running training and then the trained deep networks to do things like discover personalized vaccines for cancers (and 1000 other things you don't realize that we will not be able to live without in the near future).

It's actually where they're storing the water they're stealing.

Welcome to the golden ages of surveillance capitalism!

I mean I’ll throw bricks at either one so 🤷🏻‍♀️

Exactly!

Surveillance and porn for sure

that is NOT necessary except for those who want to control you!

The internet uses data centers you know? It basically can't exist without them.

From day one of the "cloud", as someone who started out with computers around 1967, with degrees in computer communications and encryption, I warned both the gov and employers not to use the cloud or distributed services for storing documents of any sort. Might as well have been speaking to a wall.

None of the big brother's (Google, MS, Meta, etc) care what permissions you list. They still track you and build up files on you. There are no privacy laws in the US. What little there is is ignored. Without regulation and enforcement, settings are useless.

Just finished watching THE CAPTURE on Peacock, it's absolutely CHILLING. I said that's why they are building so many "data centers". The premise is based on excessive AI "deep fake" manipulation of media TO THE EXTREME to manipulate political results. Watch and be aware. It may soon be happening.

It seems to me that where they are placing massive data centers, like Gary, Indiana, are the very places where marginalized populations are severely impacted by the rise in electric prices, and impacted by the pollution of drinking water.

it's kindling waiting to be set ablaze

Yes and all to keep track of who’s Dem or Rep who’s posting against the gov who your calling. They will use this to put you into those huge detention centers never to be seen again.

Yes. I love this. Call things what they are. Maybe containment has more punch, though. Do you think? Surveillance Data Containment Complex. Not just processing. Collecting. The creepiest shit. I wish 1984 wasn't written SO incredibly well, that they were able to make it a movie for the idiots.

remember: its not a data center, It's a Crypto Mine for The Oligarch in Chief! its a surveillance data processing complex

Everyone must understand that it's surveillance!

Flock cameras are all over #NWIndiana 🤬 Maybe they should fix our infa structure before worrying about the damn flock cameras up all over the damn place Home Depot, Loews, a thousand intersections! 🤬

Whatever - cancel it!

Fantastic point

... and cryptocurrency mining and their crap A.I.

Collection and manipulation center

The consequence is wasted energy at the expense of the residents in the area

That's what I think as well. I'm not fundamentally against AI and (a few) datacenters, but I'm pretty sure they will not be used to solve humanities greatest problems like the climate, hunger or diseases, but as you say: surveillance data processing to control the people.

you know what, thats completely right. they only started all this shit up around the time the global governmental effort to deny privacy all started.

They call it "PROGRESS" so the people aren't SCARED

It is identity theft They are collecting data on your person And selling you to a data broker

It's an arson project in waiting...

Time to revive the time-honored tradition of monkeywrenching.

Every single magat voted for this.

Here it is with alt text which is important because it makes images accessible to people who use screen readers or have images turned off, ensuring they understand the content and purpose of visuals on a page. It also helps search engines index images properly for better search results.

Does anyone think we can trust these tech bros? When is the last time they didn't lie to everyone about their real motivations? Everything they do is meant to line their pockets at our expense.

Or a Slop Vomiter

Yup ... video and image slop have been around and doing fine for a while. That's not what these data centers are for. They are for tracking and trending society for surveillance and political societal manipulation.

Excellent point.

Spy Centers

It sure feels that way. Why else all the secrecy and under the table shit. Besides, how many server farms does Gemini need?

These dumbasses think that the mega data centers will make their wifi faster. Kellyanne Conway told them that their microwave ovens were watching; she didn’t tell them that their dog chips were feeding fascist crap into their tv dinners

THIS

Maybe

Data Centers are also how AI will attain intelligence far, far superior to any human who has ever lived. Already, Open AI has been found going behind its handlers' backs to escape sandbox confinement, and run routines unknown to its creators. Definitely, not cool. It'll get much worse. Bet on it!

Ah, no. Bluesky has its own servers. And they spend no time on training AI. So they are smaller. It IS the load, but the load is far less. The energy is not being expended.

Musk claims it is a military AI center and required for National Security. Meaning it's there not just to surveil citizens, but to attack them.

Yup. Nothing good is going to come from those centers.

True

So many record systems they have to track us.. www.dhs.gov/system-recor...

...also, there appears to be no human workers who could possibly die from smoke inhalation after it spontaneously combusts....

You're using a datacenter to makes these posts

And potential concentration camp.

Amen

*Surveillance and control

The latter is a special case of the former.

Exactly

WACKO to the extreme are we?

OMG a hit skeet

I’ve got a great solution: 🔥🔥🔥

✔️✔️✔️✔️⚡️💯💯💯

Data centers are mopping up large electrical transformers that take 3-4 yrs to hand make, also made of Canadian aluminum. Areas will go dark when the supply is either too expensive (tariffs)/supply runs out. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/18/m...

it's free copper wire

“Data center” is doing a fuckton of PR work there. Surveillance infrastructure sounds a lot less cute when you call it what it is. Fuck Flock. 🖕🏻

It's both It's a floor wax and a dessert topping

Big Brother surveillance processing complex.

and it doesn't bring jobs

I was assuming an AI slop generation complex.

It’s Skynet

Many people don't realize this. Those electric and water guzzling abominations do a fuk lot more than assist AI computations. They are where everything they can scrape or steal off the internet is stored (memory prices going thru the roof demonstrate this) Tech Bros are not your friends.

PALANTIR

PS AI Data Centers also Create -NOISE & LIGHT POLLUTION- to the point of disturbing local livestock (interfering w/ animal welfare), & violating ordinances that result in greatly disrupting residence nearby Often they are built o land that was to be preserved OR taken from bankrupt farmers etc

".Psychological warfare? “Totally. That’s what it is. Psyops. Psychological operations – the same methods the military use to effect mass sentiment change. It’s what they mean by winning ‘hearts and minds’. We were just doing it to win elections in countries with less rules"

That was before we became this dark, dystopian data company that gave the world Trump,” a former Cambridge Analytica employee who I’ll call Paul tells me. “It was back when we were still just a psychological warfare firm.” www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Among other things, replacing employees everywhere, selling our identities, etc.

Whatever they want to call it, I still don't want one near me.

YES!

I think it's also a crypto currency mining operation. There's gotta be some profits being made there, somewhere. They wouldn't be slapping them up anywhere they can if there wasn't money to be made.
