How NDAs keep AI data center details hidden from Americans

The construction of ... hyperscale data centers — giant facilities that house servers and computing resources — is booming nationwide. President Donald Trump’s AI action plan and related executive orders have recently facilitated their speedy approval, in part by loosening environmental regulations. As the facilities have spread into suburbs and farmland, they’ve drawn pushback from dozens of communities concerned by how they could upend daily life. Data centers often dra

If Trump follows through on his promises to Iran, he will be handing the Mullahs the keys to a competing trade corridor with IMEC, called the “International North-South Transport Corridor”, or INSTC, and would totally bypass Israel altogether. Many in America are calling it an outright betrayal of Israel. ⁃ Patrick Wood Editor.The Ottoman pilgrimage railway is being resurrected twice — by rivals. The rivalry is the bait.

Forget CRISPR. It’s Base Editing, baby: a more sure way to edit human zygotes without the risk. It’s the “gateway to embryo editing to do enhancements.” It’s the “cat’s out of the bag” according to critics. Of course all these genetic scientists say they are curing some genetic defect, while spending hundreds of millions to turn all of us into “hackable animals”, as Noah Yuval Harari said. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.Editing the genes

This coordinated system manages pathogen storage, genomic surveillance, scientist training, and high-risk research on agents such as anthrax, plague, Ebola, Marburg, SARS, and MERS. Ukraine stands out with more than 40 of these U.S.-supported facilities, many built or upgraded with American funding and now located in active conflict zones. Intelligence...

Would you want to work for an AI/machine that has no human agency and no ability to understand human emotions? When Milei says that “AI will free us,” does he speak for himself, the government, or the people? Indeed, AI can fire you, sue you in court, and press criminal charges against you. This will spread to enslave mankind. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.As Javier Milei swings his reform chainsaw through Argentina, his hope is that foreign investors and executives will flock to his

Does Musk have a Messiah complex?  He says about Neuralink, “They’re sort of what I might call Jesus-level technologies.” As early as 2022, he said that the “blind will see and the lame will walk”, roughly paraphrasing Jesus in Luke 7:22. As a transhumanist, Musk supports the merger of human flesh with advanced technology. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.Hackers are excited. Surveillance advertising corporations are elated. Political thought-police are enraptured.

Javier Milei is a Libertarian in the anarcho-capitalist vein, who promotes Technocracy. He is the first to break the dam, granting AI rights comparable to humans. This is a slippery road. If he succeeds, it will open the door to outright personhood. As an unabashed champion of AI, Milei is exhibiting symptoms of AI psychosis. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.You could already make the case that corporations are faceless monoliths geared purely towards maximizing profits with only a peripheral c

AI is projected to generate nearly unfathomable amounts of revenue. Any mention of AI tends to be accompanied by warnings that deeper jobs cuts across many more industries are coming for us all. Jensen Huang, CEO of chip giant Nvidia, said in 2025: “Every job will be affected, and immediately. It is unquestionable. You’re not going to lose your job to an AI, but you’re going to lose your job to someone who uses AI.” Increasingly, people young and old flock to a new gold r

For decades, Congress has tried and failed to give Americans control over their own personal data: the right to see it, correct it, and delete it at will. This inaction has left Americans with no recourse against misuse of their own data, while the data broker industry quietly continues to collect and sell the personal information of millions, operating in a largely unchecked gray market. Now, two new bills, the SECURE Data Act and the GUARD Financial Data Act, offer the latest test of whether W

You bet it does! Google is a mainstay and perpetrator of Technocracy in the first place. If it weren’t so, they wouldn’t push Technocracy.news to page 12 of search results. When Google dropped “Don’t be evil” from the front of its Code of Conduct in 2018, it apparently gave them license to do evil ever since. They don’t care if you catch on, either. ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.Never mind Fancy Bear, or the NSO Group, the biggest threat to the open i

The former chief investigations counsel for the House Oversight Committee has been helping to prepare Bill Gates, the billionaire co-founder of Microsoft, to testify privately in the panel’s Jeffrey Epstein investigation on Wednesday. Representative James R. Comer of Kentucky, the Republican chairman of the committee, formally requested in March that Mr. Gates appear before the committee for a transcribed interview. His request came after files released by the Justice Department showed tha

In my new book, The New Economics of Technocracy, I revealed that the final lock for Technocracy is Digital ID after Programmable Money and Asset Tokenization are in progress. All three are in lock-step in the UK.

This is one step away from outright theft of energy from the private sector, to reallocate it to the power-hungry AI data centers. The next step will be to float an “energy sharing” narrative across the nation. The first two requirements of Technocracy in the 1930s were: “1. Register on a continuous 24-hour-per-day basis the total net conversion of energy, and 2. By means of the registration of energy converted and consumed, make possible a balanced load.” Sound familiar?

What if tech CEOs are living in a bubble, separated from reality – AI psychosis? Would this throw their instrument panel into chaos? Would they start making really bad decisions, in spite of warnings from those outside their bubble?  This article rightly concludes that the “outcome of the ongoing CEO AI psychosis will simply be organizational chaos.” ⁃ Patrick Wood, Editor.There is a certain wildness in the tech industry these days that both mimics previous eras
