Topix Underground

Yes, you can't escape it but you can minimize it.  I only use cash for any sensitive purchase for instance.

I reckon that surveillance is the actual use for these data centers. Remember that social credit thing China is doing?

They will tie everything into the data centers then claim that they are too important to do away with. Hide and watch.

I'm telling you this not because I read about it or I saw it on tv. It's happening to me and my neighbor's right now. The politicians, the utility companies, the data moguls are all on tv, the internet, newspapers saying they aren't raising rates, sucking water or destroying property values, but they are. It's happening right in front of us. They are bulldozing corrnfields, erecting 100 foot tall poles that are 4 feet in diameter on people's front lawns, next to their driveways, nobody asked, nobody notified anyone...nothing. They just set up camp on a vacant lot with a mobile office and brought in a hundred big cherry picker trucks and piles of those giant poles. 
Down the road, they doubled or quadrupled the size of all the power terminals and transformer stations.  Lying to our faces. There isn't a fckng thing we can do about it.  Now I wonder if farmers will even be able to draw groundwater when that thing is up.

Plus we're going to run out of oil. Solar is the only really sustainable power source for the planet on a really long term basis because it's the source of all energy here, it's eternal for all practical purposes and it's free.
The only things un-solar are nuclear, geo...and tides. Everything else came from the sun originally. That's like the Star Trek era future for our energy needs.

 It would be nice if all this spectacular technology would go toward living in a peaceful and unified world with free energy and healthcare  for everyone, a guaranteed basic income and safe and secure living quarters like it is portrayed in the pro-ai fantasy reels. The reality is that people are corrupt and ai means high school kids are make porn of their classmates, criminals are faking video and audio to squindle or blackmail, and, of course, the military is amping it up on a scale of our nuclear programs.  For us? not much....fifty jobs sweeping the floor at the data center, 50,000 at the 'fulfillment center' - none pay enough to live on. People are corrupt. There will always be a fixed percentage among us that are sociopathic and will lie, cheat and steal to get more than their fellows. That's why it never works...among villages or nations.
