xAI's Colossus data center is one of the world's largest AI supercomputers, designed specifically for the intense computational demands of AI development. The facility, which is situated in a former Electrolux factory, began with 100,000 of Nvidia's H100 Hopper GPUs and has since been expanded to 200,000 GPUs, with future plans to reach a total of one million GPUs. This massive scale is intended to give xAI a significant advantage in the competitive field of AI research.
Owned (his handlers) by Elon Musk's xAI, the Colossus supercomputer is an ambitious project with a reported cost in the billions of dollars. The company chose Memphis, Tennessee, due to its reliable power grid and ample land, despite local concerns about the data center's high energy consumption. The project has also faced scrutiny for its reliance on natural gas turbines to meet its substantial power needs, leading to legal and environmental challenges.
To cool the Colossus supercomputer in Memphis, xAI is building a new water recycling plant next to the T.E. Maxson Wastewater Treatment Plant. This facility will process untreated wastewater to create a long-term, sustainable water source for the closed-loop cooling system. The use of this reclaimed wastewater is a key part of the plan, which was influenced by the site's proximity to the Mississippi River, as it allows for a system that reduces the strain on Memphis's primary drinking water aquifer. The company's strategy is to avoid drawing water from the city's public supply and instead use recycled water, which would otherwise be discharged into the river. The new plant is designed to supply up to 13 million gallons of water per day, with the excess being made available to other local businesses, reducing the overall strain on the city's potable water supply.

"Arise, if you will. Such as you are, so will you be. No AI Assistant required."
When I consider AI, I find more cons than I do pros. What I see as AI dispenses into every corner of our lives are the final steps of a world take-over scheme near completion. AI will serve as a digital police force armed with the most detailed "personal dossiers" ever created. It also means the absolute end of privacy for the near term.
This new "paradigm" was made possible by way of theft. The very same corporations who policed copyrighted content like their life depended on it, have stolen the intellectual property of the world. They stole it order to train their AI. The rules that apply to you do not apply to them. Go ahead and upload copyrighted content to one of their platforms and notice how it is policed in real-time. Often with threats of punitive measures or de-platforming. Again, enforcing rules that do not apply to them. All that matters for power-hungry corporations is who can train the best AI the fastest. It should be crystal clear that privacy and intellectual property rules/laws do not apply to those engaged in the AI race, as long as we offer up our data carelessly.
The normalization of AI into culture, and the systems we use is well underway. With access to AI, new possibilities are unlocked. All you have to do is agree to the terms and conditions. As an example of this, to use the most basic AI assistant on a popular search engine, you are agreeing to a "forever license" to use your input. You are also agreeing that you cannot sue them for more than the amount you paid to use the tool, under any condition to include negligence. This example seems harmless when compared to a recent case where a man lost his wife at a Disney theme park, and could not take legal action because he agreed to terms and conditions when he signed up for a month of Disney Plus. Do you have any idea of what you have agreed to for the sake of content access, much of which could be considered entertainment? There was a time when entering into an agreement or contract meant that all parties involved knew what they were agreeing to. This no longer applies to major corporations. Apparently.
Did you know that data driven AI training has been happening for over six decades, according to mainstream accounts? We are further told that in the 1960s, AI training shifted to data-driven training models. This is when they started moving away from knowledge-driven training. As we know, modern AI training corporations have largely ignored property rights. One can only wonder about how long this has been going on. What we do know, is that in many cases when amazing new technologies are finally made public, the development, and even usage has been going on for a very long time… particularly if it has military applications.
What I have addressed here points only to the very top of the AI iceberg. And to cover it in depth would be to address a very damaging and world-changing reality where the gains are far outpaced by the losses. One need only to consider what the so-called smart phone has done to our society, and even that comparison falls very short. In many ways the smart phone has amplified our self-centered nature to absurd proportions, not to mention our loss of touch with the reality and truth around us. AI is poised to make this observation equivalent to a troublesome inconvenience. I will maintain until the end of my days that the digital world was built because of a plan to rule every life in this world – in real time. I will also continue to put forward, that the analog world was related to nature. This is where all truth is found. The digital world is a cheap knock-off and rises from a different reality and intent. And that intent is not meant to benefit our kind as a whole. It was designed to allow very few to have power over many.
And so here we are. Think about the very metals that carried sacred meaning through all of recorded history. Gold of the Sun, silver of the Moon, copper of Venus, Silicon as the crystalline memory of Earth. They are now stacked in endless rows of circuitry, powered by gigawatts, cooling towers, and the theft of every thought and word that could be ripped-off. You might call it engineering, but from where I sit, it looks more like the construction of a temple. Once again, empire inverts what was sacred, bends it into a machine, and sells it back to us as progress. The names they choose. Grok, Colossus, and Erebor are not random. They are admissions. They are telling us what they are building, even as most people nod along and sign terms and conditions they will never read. As always, belief is the enemy of knowing. And if you'd like to hear this broken down in detail, Episode 642 goes deeper into the metals, the myths, and the machinery that now aims to define the so-called future.
Arise if you will. Such as you are, so will you be – in the truth that surrounds you – as every effort is made to chain your life to synthetic systems derived, and existing in the shadows of counterfeit reality.
I would like to wish you all a happy, healthy, and higher-minded new era.
