Editor's note: Philosopher
Jason Reza Jorjani has explored the idea that the accelerating expansion of artificial intelligence ("creating God"), planetary scale data centers, and computational systems could represent more than a technological transformation, framing them instead as the construction of an "
immense synthetic architecture capable of reshaping human consciousness" and reality itself. Drawing from themes connected to the simulation theory, Jorjani speculates that the relentless accumulation of data and machine processing power could eventually create a kind of "informational singularity, metaphorically comparable to a black hole, where meaning, autonomy, and even human perception are absorbed into an opaque computational system
beyond democratic control or human comprehension." While the concept remains philosophical rather than scientific, the warning reflects growing real world concerns surrounding the
enormous energy demands of hyperscale data centers, the centralization of information within governments and corporations, the militarization of AI, and the increasingly irreversible global race to dominate artificial intelligence development despite mounting fears over surveillance, loss of human agency, systemic instability, and the inability of political institutions to slow technological escalation once massive economic and geopolitical incentives are in motion. Critics of artificial intelligence with good reason warn that despite acknowledged risks, the geopolitical and economic race for technological dominance has created a system of technological inevitability in which governments and corporations who are philosophically bankrupt continue
escalating AI development regardless of long term consequences.

Why does America need so many AI data centers? U.S. building more than 5,200 data centers compared to only 1,818 in China
The answer is hiding in plain sight but nobody is looking or asking the right questions.

The cost of gasoline just jumped overnight from $3.89 a gallon to $4.28 a gallon in my state of residence (Georgia) and everyone among the ignorant masses is wondering why. Gas prices in Georgia were sitting at around $2.25 a gallon before the Iran war started on Feb. 28, so that's a near doubling of the cost of travel in just a six-week timeframe.
