Imagine a world where your every move is being tracked and monitored, where your personal data is being collected and stored without your consent. This is the reality that many Americans are facing today, as AI data centers are being built across the country. These centers are capable of tracking individuals’ movements, gathering vast amounts of personal data, and even using facial recognition software to identify people.
The Companies Behind the Surveillance State
Jonathan Broadbent, creator and founder of Unwoke Academy, has been investigating the companies behind these data centers. He has discovered that many of these companies are backed by prominent investors, including Peter Thiel’s firm Founders Fund. Broadbent notes that ‘the purpose of those and the design of them is not to hand out speeding tickets. That’s the cover for them. The purpose of them is to gather massive amounts of information and read license plates at a rapid rate.’
Broadbent has also identified several Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) that are focused on buying, owning, and managing real estate that is geared toward the development of AI data centers. These include Equinix, Digital Realty Trust, and Coreweave. He warns that these companies are ‘lining up behind these AI data centers, and I suspect that they all think that they’re going to get rich if they only build a digital gulag for the future.’
The Financial Implications
The development of AI data centers has significant financial implications. Broadbent estimates that the total investment in these data centers could be as high as $20 trillion. He notes that ‘if a huge segment of that were to shift at the putting the thumb on the scale of politicians and woke Wall Street, you’re probably maybe halfway toward funding that 20 trillion dollar spend on expanding AI data centers.’
A Call to Action
Broadbent encourages individuals to be mindful of the companies they are investing in and to avoid those that are contributing to the development of AI data centers. He suggests that instead, individuals should invest in ‘America first companies’ that are paying off handsomely and contributing to the growth of the US economy. As Broadbent notes, ‘let’s not give them our capital to build it with.’
In conclusion, the rise of AI data centers is a growing concern that has significant implications for individual freedom and the economy. It is essential for individuals to be aware of the companies behind these data centers and to make informed investment decisions. By choosing to invest in companies that align with their values, individuals can help to shape the future of the surveillance state.
