Episode AI Data Centres, Central Intel, and Water Lockdowns | Jerm Warfare

0:00 55:19

As Hakeem Anwar notes, AI is pitched as the next internet. Behind the hype, hyperscalers throw billions at data centres. The data centres guzzle water and power on an industrial scale. It is a bubble built on easy money. When it pops, consumers will foot the bill.

These monster facilities pollute neighbourhoods, drain local resources, and feed a Big Tech surveillance apparatus. They have their fingers in military AI, too.

The pushback starts at home: communities can block planning approvals, build their own local AI and energy solutions, and choose self-reliance over dependence on the data centre racket.
