Trump says he wants AI facilities to build their own natural gas, natural gas, or nuclear power power plants right on site so they are impervious to "bombs or war or anything else"

This is not a new idea. This is not an idea that he thought of. It is a push by big tech to have self-contained power sources solely for their I AI data centers.
natural gas processing facilities are well-known for their imperviousness to all forms of weaponry. that’s why we build our tanks and ships entirely out of oil refinery surplusage
"Anything else" = "We plan to start shutting down electricity and other utilities in blue states and for blue population centers as a way of laying siege to them and subjugating their populations."
He needs admittance to an Alzheimer's facility. Oh wait, they just stopped funding those facilities with you know, cuts to Medicaid and stuff. Looks like his family will have to care for him. Nevermind, they hate him too.
I'm convinced that Putin and his mates sit around the TV watching this stuff, laughing their heads off. Probably got a best-of tape. Wondering how an entire nation could be so dumb to elect him
Same guy who wanted to increase our nuclear missile arsenal 10 fold. Sec of State at the time, Rex Tillerson, called him a moron. That would’ve bankrupted the country.
Even though this is dumb, the tech bros are clearly telling him they need way more energy to take over humans with AI, which is the ultimate goal here, and not just in government but in all parts of society. They want an AI totalitarian state, and that takes a LOT of energy.
Ive got 25 years of datacenter building exp and availability consulting across multiple industries incl finserv. (AMA)
Everything he just said is incorrect.
I'm not sure what it says about this administration where I got a guy on Blue Sky, which is giving better advice than the administration is receiving. No offense to you. Im sure you are the upmost professional with the creds to back it up.
I agree w/you. I don't think he is actually getting advice from an expert, he is just spouting off. The govt knows how to build the heck out of a datacenter; the NYSE is in an old rock quarry (for ex) and built like a little military site. You want sites at least 250 miles apart of different grids-
different weather… multiple power grids. on and on. There is a reason that NoVA has so many datacenters - it has the power and data infra. And datacenters already have onsite generators to run the facilities if power fails. Often N+2 so you can have one out for maint & lose 1 and still run.
and to be super clear, there are a ton of smarter people with more exp than me. Im nothing special. The field is very mature though, the architectures well understood. 9/11 really forced people to focus. creds? My old employer kept the state of NJ running during Sandy. Stuff like that.
This was my question (among others). Does he expect a bunch of bombs being dropped on US soil all of sudden? He says it like there is precedent for this
Maybe not all of a sudden. But when you alienate all your allies, threaten other countries (like Panama and Greenland) with invasion, coerce Ukraine to give up their resources, and side with a world hated dictator in his fever dream of global conquest the odds significantly increase.
No self respecting billionaire is w/out his own bunker. They would like us all to disintegrate into thin air so they can live out their MAGA fever dream without interference. It's why they have so many babies, too. They believe they're superior to us in every way & seek to replace us w/baby MAGAts.
He is isolating us . No power no communication, power is everything, he controls power he controls you !
No public power supply you do not do anything!
This is the most low energy, drudging along, incoherent thing I’ve ever heard. Could we maybe get an AI president up there to punch it up a little. A Don Headroom or something.
No-one can really think Trump was talking about a coherent plan for power plants. He repeated the little bit he could remember from what someone once told him about data centres and the like needed a reliable supply, and filled the space around it with nonsense.
Here in reality, outside of the Trump world of make-believe, building natural gas or nuclear power power plants next to AI facilities, would make AI facilities primary targets during war.
Also, how the f**k would a power plant make any facility "impervious to bombs"?
So, Google, Amazon and other AI hosting companid are going to have to buy land over natural gas fields get the mineral rights to that land, and build data centers there. Gonna need thos new low energy CPU's a lot sooner than they think, those places don't all have handy cooling options.
Curious what nucular facilities he's thinking might go in. I can see the possibility of modular reactor systems, but there are not a lot of those for reliability hours. And nothing else seems likely to be built and operating in less than 10 years, I'm not even sure about those.
I don't think that the various LaCross boiling reactor nuclear power plants that have been decommissioned are likely to be brought back into service. The main reason they went out of service was their limited power output capacity in the first place.
If you 'rationalize them', you can show the folly of them. No one thinks he's in his right mind that I know of, but the more people who recognize that he isn't, the better in the long term.
At least if he could be corralled into getting AI centers to build nuclear power plants it'd be somewhat beneficial. Advancing designs of plants and not having the centers contributing to climate change
They'd rather accept treason from Trump rather than accept leadership from Harris. Even after we all survive or dont these next four years, they will have learned nothing
"We're going to build big, beautiful electrical generators powered by clean coal feeding into a reliable energy grid. All of it defended by the missile shield Iron Dome which I have authorized earlier. Impervious to bombs or war."
Shut up shut up don't you realize his uncle taught at MIT since the pilgrims founded it in 1620 to like 1980 so he just knows all this science stuff better than anybody because genes?!
I mean have some respect.
Als je de gekte bij elkaar optelt is het des te vreemder dat de Russen Trump dertig jaar geleden gerecruteerd zouden hebben. Soort van kat in de zak voor Poetin.
In a few years we won't be able to even see reality.
It will be an AI thing.

Seriously though. He has no idea how long it takes to build a nuclear power plant.
AI will do a better job of running our democracy.
We fucked
If they can make that, then why aren't all Government servers protected that way, but privately owned servers would be? And at Pubic cost?
Rather than actually hire humans
Like anticipating WW3?
Everything he just said is incorrect.
I guess the rest of us are on our own
No public power supply you do not do anything!
FYI, you can run AI on a cell phone.
We were totally screwed by all the mainstream press sane-washing Trump.
Cuz that’s what would happen in the book.
Tyranny of the rabid minority?
Decentralized power grids, yes please.
AI centers doing whatever he’s brokenly parroting, no thanks.
Also, how the f**k would a power plant make any facility "impervious to bombs"?
nevermind. I'm trying to follow the reasoning of an insane person again.
"We're going to build big, beautiful electrical generators powered by clean coal feeding into a reliable energy grid. All of it defended by the missile shield Iron Dome which I have authorized earlier. Impervious to bombs or war."
What a fucking dumbass.
“Putin & I discussed forming an impenetrable Cyber Security unit so that election hacking, & many other negative things, will be guarded…..and safe”

They aren't super natural beings - they are zero without power (electricity)
Not to mention chips. Fried chips = zero yield - zero "computing" - perhaps zero storage
Fractal stupidity.
