Are we moving towards entropy?

Editor's note: All these server/data centers feeding data into building AI are going to reach a point of critical mass of information then go into entropy (the measure of the disorder of a system). This is the speculation of Jason Reza Jorjani based on the work of Claud Shannon. At some point in the future Jorjani speculates, "knives and forks and pieces of metal laying around are going to get sucked into these massive data centers" (Shannon's theory on black holes"). Shannon's work was extended by the German-Jewish physicist Rolf Landauer who "formulated a relationship between information and entropy." It is related to the idea of "entropy of microchips coding bits of information with 0s and 1s and the way they can be arranged." The idea is and admittedly hard to conceptualize, that if microchips get restored to a clean state, "this decreases the entropy of local systems which means an increase in entropy outside the system." This requires us to think of information as a "physical phenomenon" and not as "content and meaning avoiding entropy." There is more disorder and chaos on a chip that contains information represented as bits of 0s and 1s than on a clean chip. There is a mathematical equation that calculated this release of energy by deleting bits of information. Jorjani explaining all this as being counter intuitive, "if all the data is measured the amount of energy that would be released if this information were to be deleted it would convert back into a mass less than one kilogram." Data growth is growing exponentially. Information is measured as computational mass inside the data storage device (energy). This is really scary. Think of the massive amounts of energy that will be pulled into these large data centers being built to drive AI? The mathematical equation figuring this physical phenomenon of energy being released developed by Landauer calculates this potential scenario of deleting information on chips. Is that what happened to Atlantis? Data centers went into entropy and destroyed the place?

The Stargate is Open

Enter the sand gods

By Joe Allen | January 24, 2025

People fear artificial intelligence for all sorts of reasons. To me, it’s not a matter of "fear" so much as profound disdain. I don't foresee AI itself going rogue and killing everyone. I see human beings using AI to destroy cultural heritage and spiritual connection. Such technologies are paving a road to dehumanization and the Greater Replacement. Developers justify this transformation as "necessary" due an AI arms race they created.

It's not that I don't take the supposed existential risks seriously. Anything is possible. But the most immediate threats are mass surveillance coupled with psychological and behavioral manipulation; unchecked AI-dependency leading to human atrophy; and wherever people are deemed obsolete, we'll see the replacement of white and blue collar workers by algorithms and robots.

All of that is happening now, and fast.

To keep China from taking the lead, we're told, America must build better digital gods than China. It's like your preacher insisting that for Christians to inherit the earth, they've gotta become more satanic than the Devil.

Watching President Trump embrace AI over the past year has been a disappointment, but not wholly unexpected. I've written about the conservative case for a transhuman future in my book and in numerous articles. For years, I've covered right-wing tech accelerationism on the War Room, even if the Posse didn't want to hear it. To his credit, Steve Bannon backed me the entire way, regardless of the political friction it caused. Transhumanism never jived with his Catholic faith or his Irish defiance.

Politics involves a lot of trade-offs, so I voted for Trump despite the downsides. It had to happen. On his first day in office, the president signed a stack of executive orders that signaled his commitment to keeping his promises. Trump empowered real border security, killed federal DEI, and forbid the government from suppressing free speech. He also pardoned the unfairly prosecuted J6 rioters. This saved a close friend from rotting in prison, and for that, I'm forever grateful.

Opening the Stargate

You can't get everything you want, though. On his second day, Trump held a press conference to announce the Stargate Project. The plan is to build out a massive data center complex in Abilene, Tex. that will power the rise of superhuman artificial intelligence. So far, investors have committed $500 billion over the next four years, although that number could go up or down as actual money hits the table.

The Stargate Project is not an official US government venture, so it’s stunning that Trump would endorse it from the White House—especially right out of the gate. I suppose he wanted to show he'd keep his promises on AI dominance, too. What really took me by surprise was when Oracle's Larry Ellison, Softbank's Masayoshi Son, and OpenAI's Sam Altman walked into the Roosevelt Room. Typical of overzealous salesmen, they claimed they'd produce miracles.

"One of the most exciting things we're working on," Larry Ellison told the press, "is a cancer vaccine." Using AI to test blood for the presence of cancer, he said, doctors could then sequence the cancerous genes and "design a vaccine for every individual person." As I wrote a couple of years ago, this is a Jab 2.0 for Humanity 2.0. "And you can make that vaccine—that mRNA vaccine—you can make that robotically, again using AI, in about forty-eight hours."

Welcome to the AI-to-Vaxx Pipeline, where perfect health is as easy as 3D printing. Similar to flying cars and moon bases, the cure for cancer is always just around the corner.

Of course, that's not the only use Ellison sees for artificial intelligence. Last fall, the billionaire told Oracle’s financial analysts that their tech could make a better world through mass surveillance and behavioral modification. "Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we're constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on." It's sort of like having God watching everyone, but with more tangible and lucrative results.

In keeping with that theme, Sam Altman wants to provide advanced AI agents for personalized surveillance—a "super-competent colleague that knows absolutely everything about my whole life, every email, every conversation I've ever had, but doesn't feel like an extension"—basically a guardian angel brought to you by Microsoft and OpenAI.

"Our children will have virtual tutors who can provide personalized instruction in any subject, in any language, and at whatever pace they need," Altman wrote last September, in a post entitled "The Intelligence Age." As it happened, the following day the World Economic Forum announced its 2025 annual meeting dubbed "Cooperation in the Intelligent Age." By coincidence, the WEF is convening right now, during Trump's first week as president.

Summoning the Sand Gods

In line with Altman, the Japanese billionaire Masayoshi Son believes AI will soon have godlike powers. "As you say yesterday," he told President Trump, with accent rike'a kung fu movie, "this is the beginning of a 'Golden Age' of America. … This will help solving many, many issues—difficult things that otherwise we could not have solved—with the power of AI.

"I think AGI [artificial general intelligence] is coming very, very soon. … After that, artificial superintelligence will come to solve the issues that mankind would never, ever have thought that we could solve." Last fall, Masayoshi told global business leaders in Saudi Arabia that he has faith artificial superintelligence will be "10,000 times smarter than a human brain and will exist by 2035," per Reuters.
