The Confessionals - When The Grid Chooses AI Over You | Slingshot Nation

Episode Date: December 26, 2025

Today’s live show dives headfirst into the uncomfortable question no one wants to ask: what happens when artificial intelligence starts consuming more power than the system can handle? As AI data centers explode in size and demand, our already fragile power grid is being pushed to the breaking point, raising serious concerns about rolling blackouts, energy rationing, rising costs, and who ultimately gets prioritized when electricity becomes scarce. We’ll explore how this race for computational dominance could quietly reshape daily life, strain communities, and usher in a very real dystopian future where human needs come second to machines—and whether there’s an off-ramp before the lights go out.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Due to high energy demands, you've been selected to donate five power hours to your local artificial intelligence server farm. Not again. I'm just saying. It's right. Okay? We got to go. Put me on. I'm just saying.

No distraction. No distraction. Work emails to you that account. That word. My life? Welcome to the show, everybody. Hey, that's my line. Welcome to the show.

everybody. Thanks for tuning into another live. We are here. Glad to be here. Listen, I don't know about you guys where you've been for the last couple hours, but me, Tony, I showed up to the office at like quarter to seven in the morning. And I got two guys who work with me. They know. They know we're going live. And, well, they, uh, they weren't here that early. And now I got Jack over here walking around. What in the world is going on here? He's fixing the camera. I'm telling. I'm telling. I'm telling. I'm telling. I'm on you. Today was supposed to be a good day. It can be. I told you guys. We're going to reprimand you guys publicly. No, I'm just kidding. No, but I was, I was here at 645 working on the show. And then, to be honest, we got held up with, with clothing. So, yeah, well, I fell asleep last night around midnight researching, if that makes you feel any better. So that does actually make it feel good. Okay, see. So when I hit the snooze at 645 when you're showing up in the office. There's a reason. I think Jack was leaving the office at midnight.

Jack, how are you doing over there, buddy? Tired. I'm happy to be here. Good, good. I'm glad everybody's here. So yesterday, I think it was yesterday a day before we kind of nailed down the topic. And it's just been a nonstop whirlwind around here because we're doing the 12th. Jack, tell people about the 12 days of Christmas.

Yeah, so we started the 12 days of Christmas on the 14th this month. And really what it is is just, We're giving out extra content for members, for people who aren't members, and we have giveaways. It's just our way to kind of, like, usher in the holiday season and then also give back to you guys who have given us a lot. So extra members' content, merch giveaway, you know, and there's going to be membership giveaways as well on YouTube and everything like that.

Yes. And does he look tired, Derek? Does he look tired? You know what? I think everyone in the chat, give Jack a big thumbs up and a good job. He's been really grinding, especially for the 12. days. So we're going to get those giveaways out. He's doing an awesome job. So good job, Jack. Good job, Jack. Golf clap.

Well, here's the thing. So he's been staying here at the studio really late, working on everything, because he's producing. So Jack is the only producer we have. And we're not taking applications. So that's the way it's going to stay for a while. But when, so when he's producing everything that needs to get done normally. And then you guys, I think it was like in September or October, like drew up this idea of 12 days of Christmas. And I was like, oh, this is going to be good. I knew exactly what was going to happen. It's like, oh, no, it's going to be fine. We have, we have like three months to plan this and get it all together and stuff. It'll be fine. I'm like, sure. And then we're talking in the back and we're like, Jack, we have one week.

Have you started? No, and I can't because I got to do this, that and the other. That's so true. But it's just, it's an event. evolving process because he not only does these live shows, he does the in-studio production. We have in studio guests, which in the last two weeks, we've had several. And then he does the back, in the back room, in his back closet room where he does the post-production. And he does a lot. He does a lot. So we give Jack all the praise for everything that he does. But that is why he looks so tired this morning. But it's good to know that you were up last night researching. And last night, I got home and actually before I got home I was actually sitting here doing a recording with Joel Thomas.

We did a recording last night and while he's talking to me, my wife texts me and says that we had a contractor at the house and he was fixing some plumbing stuff and she said the contractor cut his arm open and she thinks he needs surgery or stitches surgery, hopefully not stitches. But it turns out my kids saw the whole thing happen. They were all excited and they were were watching, I didn't even tell you this yet, Jack. They were watching him in the basement doing his work. And he had a circular saw or something like that sitting there. And he must have just used it because it was still spinning.

And he turned around and caught his arm on it. And it cut his arm open. Oh, no. In front of the kids. In front of the kids. They were standing there watching the whole thing. Front rows of you. Holy God.

And so I haven't had a chance to talk to them about, because I was working late last night. But they apparently saw the whole thing happen. And so I can only imagine, like, my daughter, Gemma, like, her hands probably go on her face. Like, is that supposed to happen? You know? Oh, my gosh. No kids. That's not supposed to happen.

But I talked to him last night. He's not going to sue me. Praise God, you know. And I even offered to pay to this doctor, Billy said, no, it's my fault. And I said, okay. So. Wow. Yeah, yeah. It's been an eventful. Just if you think about all the different things, it's just everything that could be eventful is eventful right now. Oh, for sure. And we're gearing up for the, you guys are taking a week off next week. So I'm going to be here flying solo. So hopefully I'll be going live next week solo with the audience.

You're scheduled to be on break. Am I? Yes. Yeah, yeah. Which is why we took our break because you're scheduled to be on break. Well, the break's off, guys. Cancell Christmas. Where's the great chat? Where's the great chat? Yeah, where's that thing? Anyways. No, but you guys know. I can't take that break.

So, but anyways, so speaking of things that go sideways, this is what kind of got us going on the AI. Because, I mean, let's be honest. I mean, is there a week that goes by that you don't have me ranting about AI on somewhat? Like, I go from, look at the new AI update, how amazing this is. And the next minute, I'm saying, AI's going to destroy everything. Oh, Gemini, that's new. I'm like, ooh, what is this button to do?

Ooh, wow. This is going to be bad, but I can't stop looking. But that's what we were talking about. I was talking about with Vicki Joy Anderson and other people, and I might even said on the live last week, but like having this off-ramp. Did I talk about this on the live last week? Do you guys remember it all?

Yes, you did talk about it. But when it comes to AI, it's important to have this off-ramp. Like, what's the off-ramp for you? And, you know, we talk about AI, I hear at work a lot. We use it. Everybody uses it. And you and I were sitting, Derek, you and I were sitting in your office. And do you remember what we were talking about? We were talking about something. It was video production. We were talking about video production. And all of a sudden, I see, I think it was that I had a missed phone call. That's what it looked like. And it was

a video editor that we outsource work to. And so I call him right there with you. And I say, hey, man, what's up? And he goes, nothing, you called me. And I said, I didn't call you. You saw my phone. It was laying on the couch. It was sitting next to me on the couch.

I hadn't touched it. And he's like, no, you called me. And I heard you talking about video production. And so I started talking to you. And I realized you weren't talking to me. And you accidentally dialed me. And so he hung up. And I was like,

Did my phone just listen to me talking to you planning video production and automatically knew of all the people in my contacts who we should call and talk to about that? Isn't that? Yeah. And then you reprimanded Siri, but she denied it. That's right. Do you remember what I said? I don't remember because she was like, did not. She was like, I don't understand what you're asking.

She was like glitching out, man. Yeah. Yeah. She's like, I do not compute. Do not compute. Yeah, it was so weird. Because if you say something, like right now, we know she's listening. You just said her name.

She's not answering, though, because she's like, oh, shoot, they're talking about me. Oh, yeah. She's getting smarter. Yes. She's not automated anymore. But like, I'm telling you, this is what's happening. So I know I said this recently. It must have been on last week's lab.

What did we talk about last week? Last week was something. Oh, the Desert Portal tree thing. I usually find a way to work AI. I just know I was talking about. these phones having AI built into them, you know, and it's not even going to be an option one day to, you know, I want to have a phone and not have it connected to AI or anything.

That's not going to be an option. Like the phone will not function without the AI installed into it. Like it will be AI phones. And so with the glitch that Siri gave us yesterday, again, I just said it. Maybe I need to say, hey, Siri. I don't know. But no, it does.

didn't do anything. She knows we're talking about her. But, like, it was just so wild. Is she becoming sentient? I mean, maybe. Maybe. Like, I just, Siri was the first, like,

talk to it thing, right? I mean, it was before, what was the Google one? What's the Google one that people have in their homes? Home? Not Google Home. It has a name. I don't use it.

Huh? Nest? Google Nest? No, the AI that people talk to to do things in the home. Have you about Alexa? Alexa. Isn't that Google? No, it's Amazon. Oh, whatever.

Like, like, Siri was like the first one of that. So like, is Siri going to be the one that actually becomes sentient first? You know? That's a good question too, because I think like you have a lot of intention behind Apple doing a lot of things to try and manipulate people, right? Like, it's the minor updates that they put on their phones to then really emphasize why you need to buy the new phone. So it's an addiction that people have

to consistently upgrading always, and it wasn't always like that. So now that you're getting the new phone consistently, you're including all of these new computers and everything that they're doing because before you could hold onto a computer for 10 years, now you can only hold on to a computer for four years because the software updates.

So because they're integrated, integrating AI so heavily into everything on the computers and the cell phones, it really wouldn't surprise me if that would be the case. Yeah. I mean, and the new CEO that's coming in, so I think Tim Cook is on his way out at Apple, and he was, from what I understand, more of a sales marketing guy that was like, how can we make more sales, not innovation, you know, and he served as purpose. But I think the next CEO that's coming, I don't know the guy's name, but he's coming from within the company that was like part of the engineering

of the product. And so he's going to have more of an innovative mindset. Oh, no. No, no. I said, oh, yeah. Oh, okay. She said, oh, no. I was like, yeah, exactly.

Either one is correct. And so, like, he's going to be like, more AI, you know, more invasion of privacy. Yeah, it's coming. Right? The surveillance state, absolutely. Yeah, I mean, it's all right.

here and they've already, like, what I just said, it's a surveillance state. And so that already is me saying, yeah, it's here. I know it's here. And I accept it. Right. Have we not got the point of, like, is, let's ask this question then, is using a smartphone, computers, computers with microphones and and and cameras like at one point you could have a computer that had maybe a microphone on let's forget the cameras we'll just take a way back a microphone maybe it wasn't part of the surveillance state then but over time computers kept the microphones added the cameras phones added cameras added AI all this stuff at what point are you by just using the technology accepting the fact that you're part of a surveillance state right now.

You know, as I was researching all this, I came to that same thought because it's like, we're going to be deceived and like it's going to be something that we don't want to give up, which is why we get sucked into the system. Yeah. And it's like, you can see how it's like this slow trickle of like, oh, this is easy. This is fun. And then it's like, oh, I need it now. And then all of a sudden it's like we can't stop using it because we're stuck. And we talked about, I think, a couple weeks ago how we're like getting dumber using AI too. Yeah. So like we're cognitively getting lower in IQ.

And then what are we going to do? We're just going to be so dependent on this that we have to have it. Yeah. You know, and like it seems like a giant devious plan. Yeah. So it's like, you know, all right, we're getting done. I'm getting dumber using AI. Well, stop using it.

I can't. I'm too stupid to not use it now. No, really? We're literally, do you remember the one with Ben Stiller when he's like, it's in the computer? And he just becomes like a monkey and starts smashing the computer. Is that Zoolander? Yeah. Oh my gosh. That's just going to be us, though.

Yeah. City events? I have never seen Zoolander. Oh, dude. Oh, man. Classic. Yeah. He needs to.

Is that the one with Johnny Depp? No. Or Robert Downer Jr. or something? No, it's Will Ferrell. and he's a Ben Stiller's a male model. I have no idea what you should talk about. It's a comedy.

Never mind. Let's just keep going. Yeah, anyway. So the other thing to your point, Tony, is we have, how many times, right, have they consistently come out with an update on Instagram, Facebook, all of the social media that we use? And it's like, you see a post on it where somebody is like, look at this new update for the terms and services that you're accepting.

Yeah. And they're like literally. just hacking your phone and knowing every single thing you do. And it's like, everybody is complicit at this point in accepting these specific terms, AI, and all of these things that these tech

companies do to us. So it's like, yes, I think there is a portion of it where it's like no matter what, any technology you use at this point, unless you completely go back to the very beginning when there wasn't AI in technology like this,

you're kind of strapped to have to use this. It makes you wonder, like, on their end and stuff, what's involved with the surveillance state, you know? Because, to be honest, I mean, they're not the sharpest tools in the shed when it comes to, you know, I mean, they're smarter than me. But how often do we see, like, supposedly people we trust

to handle our technology say something about, I can't think of an example right now, but, like, the idea is like, oh, we didn't actually consider that as being an issue or a problem that we're running into, we've got to figure this out, right? And so, like, could it be that we could stumble our way into a solution of not being part of surveillance state by simply just going back to dumb phones, you know, like just going back to a landline or, like, even a flip phone? Because maybe their tech advanced past those stages, and everybody wasn't on that,

and they never remembered to plug that hole so people can't go back to it. And they're like, oh, shoot, you know? Like, and maybe it's part of like the whole NASA thing of like losing technology. Like we've lost the technology on how to even, uh, to block that as part of our surveillance state. So like we don't know how to stop them from, we don't know how to stop the whole, uh, we don't know how to surveil the old school tech because we're so far past that, we forgot that technology.

Yeah. I mean, doing mental gymnastics with this right now. But it's like, it's like, really, I mean. No, it reminds me of like, you know, the, the analogy of, you know, the analogy of, of the boiling frog, right? Like, it sits in the pot of water, not realizing it. And all of a sudden, it's so hot that it's just dead. Yeah.

So I feel like that's with us with technology. Like, we're having so much fun in it, but like the water temperature is rising. And before we know it, like, oh, crap, I can't get out anymore because my legs are fried. So again, that goes back to the off rent, right? Mm-hmm. Like, at what point are we going to jump out because it's getting a little too hot, right? And then where are we going to land?

You know, and I think that's an answer for everybody to answer individually. like I can't be a collective answer because some people are going to be like this is a little too much for me I'm going to go back 10 steps and somebody might say this is a little bit too much for me I'm out totally

like I will live off grid and I'm going to smell really bad because I'm not even going to have running water in my house you know like I mean what's the off ramp right but I mean it's impossible now like between like your electric bill

your gas bill like everything's automated now they're using AI I mean the smart grid like all of But like, you're going to have to just be in a cabin in the woods with like a wood furnace and a well. I mean, that's pretty much what you're going to need to go to. I'm planning on it. I'm planning on it.

Well, and two, it's like you have to have the wherewithal to know where that off ramp is, though. Like, because it's if you're the frog, to use your analogy, if you're the frog in the boiling pot of water, the frog didn't know. The frog didn't have the wherewithal to know that it was starting to get cooked alive. Like, you have to be able to see where that off ramp really is for you. And like you said, it's going to be different for everybody, but it's hard to see because that's the reality. It's like you're sitting in a pot filled with boiling with water that's slowly raising in temperature. All of this AI, all this industrialization, all of this stuff that's getting built up and cooked into your daily life. It's difficult to know where that that off ramp is. So that's like the discernment that you have to have through the spirit. And that's the thing. Like I just don't think that there is a true off ramp. I don't think that you truly can unplug from it. Because, I mean, listen, of course you can. Like, I mean, like I just said about going completely off grid, lighting candles in your home for light at night, you know,

using an outhouse, nobody knows you live there kind of thing, right? And that's like literally like one in a hundred million people can actually do that, you know? I mean, how many people are actually doing that? I know there's one guy in the Smoky Mountains right now that has been living out there for like 50 years. He's an old man living on his own. Nobody bothers him. He's just there, you know? And he ain't watching this show.

He's not watching the show, right? But most people can't actually 100% unplug because of what you were just talking about, the whole idea of power coming to your house, lights in your house. Like that is all stuff that's plugged into the system. But the system needs to be upgraded. So like right now, I actually think we're probably on the oldest system for when it comes to the power grid that we will have ever moving forward. Because of what's going on right now with AI, it's going to have to be upgraded.

created. So, like, we're on a really bad power grid. They've been talking about it for years. They say that, you know, the way they talk about it, I'm surprised that we still have the ability to even have power right now because they're like, this is such ancient. Like, apparently America is further behind than other countries when it comes to our power grid. Have you guys heard about that at all? No. I haven't. Yeah, film in. Well, well, I mean, I don't know. There's something the filling. I was hoping you guys are fill me here. No, but like, I just hear people ranting about the fact that our power grid

is so crappy and out of date that with the load that AI is going to have now in the power grid because AI requires a significant more amount of power than almost I think, actually I think it's any industry.

Yeah. So you take any industry that's out there. Car manufacturing to Amazon running 24-7, AI industry takes more power than any other industry. And it's growing so fast and exponentially that they actually need to upgrade the power supplies and the power structure before it's quote unquote too late. Because right now, I think what's going to happen is we're going to start experiencing possibly.

I've experienced this already. So I'm hearing in 2026, it's going to be probably a pretty. common thing in states that are getting involved in the AI power plants. That's not the right word, maybe like power farms, but states that are getting more involved in that, I think Tennessee is one of them. For sure, yeah. Texas is one of them. I think states like this are going to start experiencing what they're calling rolling brownouts. I don't know why they chose the word brownout. You know, like we think blackouts. Maybe a blackout is like a sudden thing. It just goes out. Yeah. But the brownout is a scheduled event. And I actually experienced that here in Tennessee. I want to say it was

summertime. Is it a summer or wintertime? Because it was very inconvenient with the weather. I think it was summertime. It was getting so hot that they actually scheduled portions of Tennessee to have their power turn off for a period of time. And I want to say it was like 20 minutes, 30 minutes where the power was turned off. Like, I didn't have a say in the matter. They turned off the power to my house because they, if they didn't do that, the whole grid was going to fail. I think it was, it was a heat wave. I think that's what it was. It makes sense. Because that's what they do in California as well. Really? California has rolling brownouts and they make sure that they're, you're obviously warned about it ahead of time, but it is because of that. It's because of how hot it gets and,

you know, electric usage and all that stuff. Plus, California has probably some of the most industries per capita. And so there's going to be consistent usage out there. So there's there's not because we, I think as just normal people, we think of electricity is like, oh, just make more. Like, how hard is it? I need electricity. And it zooms to me. I just zoom. It's done. It's here. Like there should be how hard is it to make that, you know? But apparently we have a limited supply of electricity. Yeah. And these AI power farms, if there's a better term for that, I'm not sure. But like, it's like these farms that they're creating these factories to build up AI, AI is going to need all that power. And the way our

system's set up right now, there's not enough to go around. And so are we, my question is to you guys and the audience, are we as human beings who some of, most of us are participating in AI. Very few have not participated willingly, but even the ones that are not participating willingly are still participating in it. So as a collective, are we as just existing in this world with our 10 AI overlords building up and propping up a system that has no U-turn on it, no off-ramp, no exit plan, that we're building this system up where in order for us to survive, survive, we as human beings need to make sure the AI survives over the individual. Yeah. Does that make sense?

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. It's very dystopian, but I think it's the reality of what we're going to see coming forward. Yeah. Here's some quick statistics for you. Small town can average around 20 to 50 megawatts, a population of 5 to 10,000. A mid-sized city, 50,000 people can go up to 0.2 to 0.5 gigawatts. A large city, around 100,000 people, which would be like Knoxville, it could be 1 to 2 gigawatts of capacity. A data center,

because AI doesn't like to call itself an AI factory. Okay, data centers, thank you. It kept correcting me when I put AI factory. It's like, no, it's not a factory. It's not a factory. So you're getting politically correct answers from the AI, yeah. Hey, Derek, don't call me a factory to figure it out. Well, kind of true.

The data centers, though, they draw one to two gigawatts of power. Whoa. Hold on a second. So a small city is what? So, Knoxville. Knoxville. It's the equivalent. A data center would be the equivalent energy pull of the city of Knoxville.

Whoa. Wow. Dude, that's crazy. Crazy. So if we don't have a alternative source of energy going to these data centers or AI power plants or AI power plants or AI. factory power plants. We'll figure out the most dystopian way to call it, and we'll do that.

But if we can't figure out a new way of supplying energy to them just alone, we're in trouble. Yeah, your intro's like dead on. I think, like, there will be energy sharing and, like, shut down moments, you know. And, like, my whole house is electric. I don't have gas for heat.

Yeah. So it's like, you cut the electric off. You're cutting the heat to my house. Like, I'm going to be freezing. Just so, so, yeah. I think what's going to happen is we're going to have these. There's a lot of things that could happen. Let me just actually hit you with what you just said first because I don't want to pass by this because I feel like we can talk about this, but we also need to talk about solutions.

And everybody has their own abilities to do solutions. Like you just said your whole house is electric. So let me ask you. Jack, just remember, I want to turn back, at some point, I want to turn back into the rolling brownouts, like you said the AI intro with the five hours and stuff. But I want to ask you, in your situation, where you live, you're in East Tennessee, you're in the mountains, like just in general, this area is a little bit further behind in technology as far as the residential side of it goes. So you have a house that's all electric. If we have an AI data center that pops up in Cookville, or let's just say it's somewhere here in East Tennessee, okay?

So it's affecting you. And your power gets cut out because the grid can't handle everybody getting power plus the AI. We need the AI to keep running so that we can have all the other things running in our society. And AI comes before the human existence. What are you doing in February, on February 1st, when you're having the record cold of two degrees here in East Tennessee? What are you doing to warm your family? Getting blankets? I mean, there's really not a lot of options.

Cutting my trees down, make a fire pit, like a homeless person outside. I mean, like, warm my fingers by the fire. They really wouldn't be a lot that you could do in those circumstances. And it's interesting, too, because they predict that AI will also be the one controlling all those utilities in the future. So, AI will be the one in control. Literally deciding if AI gets power over humans. Yeah, they're going to be, the AI will be the deciding factor. So, like, we're used to AI right now as being this, like, fun little tool for us.

us. The future of it of AI is going to be automated systems across the board in all industry. So it's going to control all those intricate details of like smart city grid, like everything. So it will control its own electricity. You know what's crazy is that we have the idea of the smart city grid that you're just talking about. And we've never, I don't think we've ever talked about 15 minutes smart cities. Maybe that's a whole show in itself that we can do. But I was sitting in the airport for, uh, I was going to Dallas, I think it was, and my flight was delayed,

and I spent the entire day in the airport. And I was texting to, I was texting Todd Coconado, former guests on the show, about me just sitting in the airport. And he said that he deals with this because he travels a lot too. And he's like, I deal with this all the time. He's like, it's gotten so bad. And he goes, I feel like they don't want us traveling as much because it's part of the whole 15-minute smart city agenda.

So think about it this way. If they're trying to make, if he's true, right, like, it's just a theory. But if they're trying to make travel difficult for people to keep them confined to certain areas because they're trying to build out these 15-minute smart cities, and then AI is actually running the 15-minute smart cities, you no longer can travel, you're stuck there, you can't get away from the AI, and the AI is dictating how you live your life. That's...

So there's this book called, I think it's called I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. And the story is dystopian AI future, right? And the main character, I'll spoil it, so spoiler alert, but the main character of the book, he gets to the end of the book. And this AI supercomputer has now taken over humanity. It has used humans as energy for its own purpose to be able to create itself more and more. Once I say it again, it took up, what happened? It took over humanity.

The AI took over humanity. This computer took over humanity. This AI computer took over humanity. And it has used humans as its energy source as well. So it's killed off people. It's like a hamster in a wheel almost. Sure. But more like digesting it basically.

Like digesting humans. It's like a science fiction book, right? So it's going... In 1966, it's an old book. Yeah, it's going above, you know, like what we would consider as like using humans as energy. It's consuming humans in the book. you can take the analogy. The point of the end of it is that this person who is stuck around to the end has been

put in this position where AI has now made it this blob that can't talk, but it feels like it has to scream. And so the whole, like the analogy of the book is that obviously technology will take over to the point where you'll finally recognize the situation you're in, but you cannot get out of it. And it's a very, I mean, It's a dark dystopian science fiction book. But it is absolutely...

This sounds like an amazing book. I don't think I've ever heard of it. I've never heard of it. Have you... No? So I wonder if... I wonder if they've ever tried making it a movie or something. That sounds like it would be an amazing movie.

It would be very dark. Well, I mean, welcome to the future friends. Yeah, I know. It's true. So speaking of, like, the amount of power it takes to actually power one of these data centers. Yeah. In Memphis, I don't know.

if you guys heard about this, but X opened its own data center in Memphis without like, it seemed like it was without real approval from the people of Memphis. Really? He just came marching in, huh? So there were clearly, you know, permits and everything that was gotten by, you know, government officials, all this stuff. It was made official in that manner. However, the people of Memphis didn't exactly know what that meant. So there is a consistent issue right now where, because there is not enough power supply in their grid. Memphis takes up about like speaking to your megawatts, gigawatts,

it's not 1.21 gigawatts, but it is, they take... Great Scott! They do take, it was like 3,500 megawatts. So whatever that is. And X, when they moved in with the Colossus, which is what they called the data center for X, the AI data center, It has exceeded the limit to which they could actually supply.

So X brought in gas turbines to now generate enough energy for the data center. The issue is because they've brought in the gas turbines, there's a consistent whirring, right? Like the noise is so loud that, you know, it's messing with people's brains. There's pollution to the extent that people are now like experiencing health issues from it because of how much is having to be, how much gas is having to have. be expelled for that. And their water supply, because speaking to what Derek had talked about, I don't remember if you mentioned it on the show or not, but the water supply has been tapped, right? It's crazy how much...

In Memphis. Memphis has enough problems already. Here's the other thing, though, right? So not to mention all of that, the people have also noticed that their electric bill has gone up in the process. And so there is a legitimate... call for, what do you call, for examination of whether or not they have been now coupled into paying for the data center's energy as well. Because obviously they're going to pay for

energy no matter what, the data center is going to pay. But how much is that impacting because of how much energy is getting, like, it's supply and demand. If demand is so high that you need to now raise prices in order to lower the supply, like that's the, that's the, that's the, that that's where they're at right now. Yeah, I mean, with Trump's Stargate plan, I'm sure there's like financial backing and like exceptions for them payments and everything. So they're going to make this happen

because they want to be the first in AI. When you say they, who? Trump, like America, he wants America to be the leader of AI. So like they're going to give them sweetheart financial deals wherever they go. But when you say them, like you're talking about like these AI tech companies. The AI tech companies. Yeah, yeah.

Gotcha. So I looked into this, I was driving from Knoxville to Wisconsin by myself. We all know I don't listen to music. So I was like, and it was just when, when ChatGBTGBT started having that Talk to Me feature, that AI guy. And because I've done on the show the GROC talking to GROC and the conspiracy mode and stuff. And I started doing that with the ChatGBT,

and I started talking to it about this stuff. and I couldn't remember the term, but it's called small modular reactors. And I started doing, and listen, this is like six months ago, so I don't remember anything I learned. But I started going down this road because I was like, all right,

how are, they're talking about building out power supply stations. Like, it's funny. Like, they're talking about taking down nuclear power. No nuclear power. That nuclear power bad. No, no, don't do that. We got to get that.

We got to get that dropped. But as soon as the AI power overlords, these, what, 10 guys, probably not even 10 guys, these tech guys that say, we need this. All of a sudden, it's like, okay, we're going to actually fund it. Like you just said about Trump. We're going to fund it now. Before bad, now we're going to fund it good for them, not for you. Not for you.

So for how many years we talked about how nuclear power energy was the answer for lower costs, and all of a sudden, now it's coming in for these AI tech companies. Not for us. Apparently, Memphis is still paying high prices. The prices are going up, and they're not using the nuclear power. You said it was gas generated.

One of you guys said it was gas generated. Yeah, I did. So, like, the nuclear power is a solution, but the problem with that is they can't build it fast enough. To build an actual full-size nuclear power, power plant, you're talking, I think it was, I think it was 10 years. I think to build one, it's like, let's just say five to 10 years of building, just one. So they have these smaller ones, which are called the small modular reactors. They go up much faster. They're much cheaper,

but they're not as efficient. So if it's not as efficient, who's that going to fall back on? Where we're seeing a trend, it's going to fall back on the people, you know? And it makes you wonder, you know, Bill Gates, Mr. you know, no, no, don't do that. Like, he was buying up what? Farmland. Farmland. Why? Could it be because he's going to replace farmland with this? Could they be building out a ton of reactors

so that we could sustain our technological advancement? Could Middle America turn into a giant nuclear power plant just so that we could be the one, AI dominance of the world? And two, to sustain our world. ourselves. This is a dystopian future. You put Middle America as a nuclear power plant. On each side of the nuclear power plant of middle of America are all these different cities. And people, because of the infrastructure, will have to migrate to the cities to survive. And now all of a sudden you've got people living just horrendous situations. And what's crazy is that if you

you look at the Hollywood actors and actresses, visually, they're following trends that you saw play out in Hunger Games. So, like, when I, everybody knows I'm a huge NBA fan. Probably about 10, 15 years ago, probably about 15 years ago. Now, I'm, I'm getting older. Like, it became this popular thing where these NBA players were dressing like runway models in these ridiculous outfits. Yeah.

You know? And then that became more and more common in these elitist circles. Like, if you got a lot of money, the more money you have, the more stupid you look. But it's supposed to be cool, right? Then you have these women in Hollywood who are sucking their faces dry of any kind of... Amen. It's the thing all over. I don't know what it's called.

But it's like, look at Cyrus, Miley Cyrus. Like, she looks completely different because of what she's doing. done to her face, just to make her face cheekbones pop more. Oh, the cheek fillers. It's not cheek fillers. They're sucking out the fat of their faces. Oh, wow. And they're looking like they're straight off hunger games.

And so what I'm visualizing is there's us dorks who don't have the ability to suck our faces dry. And we live down on ground level while all these, in the smart city, while all these elites have all the luxuries that AI offers. And they're living in these high-rise towers where we're down on street level. we don't have the luxuries that AI offers. So we literally have to just grind in our slop on the city streets. Here's a part of this that you're even missing.

Jack's laughing at me. He's not even switching over to you. It's okay. So you're talking about electricity. That's only one factor of this whole story, too. The water consumption for these AI factories is insane. So it says AI specialized data centers. consume vast amounts of water primarily to cool high-performance chips like Nvidia's Blackwell series,

global AI water demand is projected to reach 1.1 trillion to 1.7 trillion gallons annually in 2027. So this reminds me there was an Instagram post and there was like someone interviewing a lady in Georgia and she says basically that like there's no water in her house anymore because they put one of these data centers right next to her house out in the country and there's no water. And I was like, that's so crazy. How does that even make sense? They must be able to dig down into like the reservoirs under the earth. And they're sucking all this water.

And what they say is like the water is not even recyclable. It's not even like a cooling system where it's coming and then getting pushed back out. It's like literally evaporating and becoming like unusable. It's just going into the atmosphere after it runs through the cooling center. So here, per interaction, it says a conversation of 10 to 50. with an AI model like GPT3 consumes approximately 500 milliliters, 16 ounces, or one standard water bottle. All right. So, like, if you go on chat GPT and you do 10 to 50 prompts, depending on what you're doing, that's one water bottle's worth of cooling that's needed.

That's not that much. You see how much do you prompt? That's just one person. And you're just one person. Per facility, a single large hyperscale AI data center consumes 550,000 to a million gallons a day. Wow. Equivalent to the water needs of roughly 4,200 to 10,000 people. And it says training a model requires roughly 185,000 gallons of on-site water plus an additional 1.2 million gallons used indirectly for electricity generation.

So not only are you going to be rationed with electricity, but the water that is required to cool these processors down will literally pull the water out from underneath your own house. Even if you had a well, you're not going to find water. That's crazy. So we're taking the basic needs of life. Power, heat, electricity, water, and we're all putting it through AI.

And it's going to equate to us not actually being able to survive. And what they talk, so like, let's say power, electricity is a utility, right? Everybody has a utility bill. You have water. If you're in the city and you're on city water, you have a utility bill with water. What's the other thing that they were talking about making a utility? It was no longer going to be an option. It was like, no, this is a utility and it was going to open the door.

And maybe they have done it. I don't know, but it was going to open the door for the government to subsidize to make sure everybody can have this because it's a utility. utility of basic need of life. Healthcare. I was going to say health care too. No. Smart phones.

Smart phones. Cell phones. Obama phones. Yeah. Back, what, 20 years ago, that became, that was becoming a real, I don't know whatever happened to that, but it was like everybody needs a phone. Everybody needs a cell phone. Cash in your clunkers.

Take that money and get yourself a phone. And so if, and let's be honest, I mean, having a phone is a, you now. Like, I mean, my kids don't, but there's plenty, and I'm not knocking this if somebody does this, but like, there's plenty of kids who have smartphones, you know? And I saw some really cool things with that. I mean, even with the smartphones, you can just buy like Apple and Android, you, there's features that you can, that are built into the phone that you can make it like for kids where it's like literally like three buttons on the screen. That's all they have. It's like text mom, text dad, call 911 or something, you know? So like, but it's, it's that ingrained into

us that your phone is a utility. You can't live without it. How many people can't walk out of a room without their cell phone? How many people, it's not even a conscious decision, oh, I need my phone before I walk out of the room. We all do it. You know, I get up from the desk. I grab my phone, put it in my pocket to go to the next room because you just never know if somebody's going to call you, if you're going to get a text message, we're talking. Oh, let me check that email real quick. Like, it's become part of you. So now that it's become part of you, I mean, essentially, literally part of you, attached to you, not connected. into you yet, but a part of you.

It is becoming a part of you. For sure. You're getting NeurLink, right? That's actually becoming a thing. And people are talking about it legitimately as an option for them to now start plugging into themselves. Like, that was one of the things that I know, I don't even really watch this podcast. I saw a clip of it. It was full send with Mr. Beast.

And they were talking about Neurlink and the fact that as soon as it becomes marketable and it's now tested every, like, they're. They're going to buy it. They're going to get it in themselves. Like, that was what Mr. B said. Wow. He was like, I will get it in myself. Why would I not want to have the intelligence of every single computer in the world?

And that is where I get left behind. That's where I get left behind. That's my off ramp, too. That's an off ramp, right? Like, that's like, hey, I missed the last 10. This is the one of it. Last stop on the train. I was dealing with the kids in the back seat and missed that exit.

So we're still stuck on the highway, you know? Like, that's where I get left behind. Yeah. That's where I get left behind. You know, I just don't, I don't see because, yes, this is a utility and AI is being ingrained into it. And they're just, and that's where I posed that question to you guys earlier. It's like, are we as just breathing biological human beings just by simply existing, just

sitting here existing? Are we propping up a AI system? that will ultimately look to us to feed off us and consume us. And it just runs the numbers. It just runs the numbers. In order for me to do what I need to do, we need to lose 0.001% of humans today and just throw them into the furnace and let them burn.

They're just fuel for the fire. I mean, yeah, even in the future predictions of agriculture, like we won't have enough water to make enough food for 9 billion people. So you're getting into this weird area of dystopian, like, does the water go for your AI, or is your water going to go for agriculture to make crops? Dude, like, why do you think that they're pushing these, you know, bioengineered and lab-created meats and foods as much as they are? I mean, so think about it, if that's the case, right? So if that's the case, if there isn't going to be enough water, just because of the fact that we're using so much for data centers and for technology, like, you, there has to,

be sustenance for people. They will eventually cave to the lab made foods. And so if they're creating it now, it is for a purpose. They're going to put it into, you know, public consumption at some point. So optionality is not actually an option, but it's packaged as an option now so that tomorrow can be mandatory. Yeah. So like you will have no option tomorrow. But if you want to survive, if you want your children to eat today, you're going to feed them this cardboard burger that was made out of crickets because there is no farmland no more cows farting

because that's all land taken up by AI data farms now and nuclear power plants you know because we got to our self-imposed created God needs our resources to survive yeah I mean the the reality of what is coming

with this like bioengineered food is really scary. Have you ever heard of helic cells? No. It's Henrietta Lax, I think her name is. So she had cancer back in the 60s and she went to like an all black hospital. She had an aggressive form of cancer.

It was like purple in color. They actually like harvested her cancer and it never stopped replicating. So they took her DNA after it was taken out of her body. It kept self-replicating? Still to this day. So they sent it around the world to all the lab.

It doesn't have a copyright. It's not patented. So literally, the doctor sent it out, and it's everywhere now. And so it actually can mimic protein. If you put it next to, like, a certain kind of protein, that cancer will mimic the protein strands and then replicate itself in vats. So literally, like, some of it could be human cancer cells. You guys can look it up.

It's helic cells. It's crazy. Wow. So we're eating replicated human cancer. as bioengineered meets possibly in the future. Jeez, man. And so, like, we have this whole dystopian future being laid out. And it's crazy because when you're talking about AI,

there's AI, I think it's AGI and ASI is the last stage, artificial sentient intelligence. And then AGI is artificial general intelligence. when it gets to ASI, maybe not even ASI, maybe AGI. Are we in AGI now? I'm not sure. No, not yet. So we're coming up on AGI. Yeah, we're artificial general intelligence.

Are you sure? Are you sure? Are you sure? So, maybe there's another stage in between the two then, because I think that there's a stage that we haven't hit yet where ASI, artificial super intelligent, thank you, I was saying, sentient, super intelligence. I view when it becomes sentient. So yeah, super intelligence because sentient

they don't want to say it's actually going to happen. So I say ASI, artificial sentient intelligence. The pause. The pause to get into that thought. I was like, no, that actually makes sense. I'll just, hold on, hold on. I'll put it in Wikipedia for you so you're not wrong. Yeah, please.

Do I have a Wikipedia yet? We should get one of those. How do you get one of those? I don't think I want one of those. So, but once we get to that point, I think all, all things are off, all bets are off. There's a stage, though, that's coming where we're going to be looking at AI and it's going to be so smart that we're going to look to have it as a solution. And we already are doing that. But it's going to be like, I'm in Knoxville, Tennessee.

And I need to get to Seattle in 10. minutes tomorrow, I need you to figure out how to do that. And it's like, okay, it's going to invent things that don't even exist yet to make what I need to get done, done. Like, I really believe that's going to happen. And I mean, I just drew a very extreme case, right? But like, I'm just saying the idea of where it's going to invent things for you to accomplish the goal and tasks that you put before it.

And when we get to that point, it's going to be bonkers. Addicting, like, you're talking like there's no limits as to your imagination as to what you could accomplish. And when it gets to that point, you're going to already be preconditioned. Like we were talking about before earlier how AI is making us stupider, but I need to keep using it because I'm too stupid not to use it now. Like, it's going to be a similar situation where you have this problem that maybe AI is creating and you're going to need to turn to AI. to fix the problem that it's creating. And it's only going to create a new problem for you, but it's going to solve the problem you put before it.

And then it's going to be consenting. It's like, ah, suckers, you're just done. I mean, I feel like I see that in some of the young people now. Like,

I see them walking around. And it's like they're already sheep. Like, their postures head down like they want to look at their phone. They don't give you eye contact. They don't engage you. Like I had, I was at the mall the other day.

And people are just like walking past me. They don't even like bump into me. They don't even look at me. You know, before you be like, oh, sorry, man, or like anything. It's like they're so... No nods. No nods, nothing.

Like, they're just so in their own world. And I think that's so intentional about where they're trying to take us to. We're creating sheep. I remember, man, this was 20 plus years ago. It had to be longer. I don't remember. It's so long ago that it feels unnatural to say out loud what I'm about to say. But I remember when phones became really started becoming part of our culture and society. and a lot of people started having them.

I felt uncomfortable pulling my phone out at times to send a text message. I was like, oh, this is kind of weird, you know, like, or walking down, like, the idea of walking down the road with headphones on, like the whole, everybody with headphones on and nobody like having any kind of human connection, it felt weird and dystopian and far off. But I literally remember, like, feeling awkward, pulling out my phone to call someone. somebody outside of my house. Like, it was like, oh, you have this, what is that? What is that thing? You know, it was, it was awkward. And now it's like, it's awkward if you're not doing it.

And the norm is to bump into people because you're looking at your phone walking through the mall. Yeah. And to expand on that point, like, when I was growing up, it was more normal because we're 10 years apart. But, like, you still wouldn't be on your phone all the time, but you would have a phone. Like, flip phones were the thing until I, was in high school. And it was, what was odd was pulling out your phone to take a picture,

right, or to take a video. Like, if you remember, I'm sure all of, I'm sure everybody who is watching and who has a cell phone and grew up, or at least has seen the progression, felt awkward. When they were actually able to take their phone out and take pictures of things in public, especially at an event, you'd be, you'd feel weird taking a video. So you'd be quick with it. You be sly with it, and then you look around and you quickly put it back, right? Because it feels weird. Now, everybody's constantly videoing themselves or taking pictures of things. Making TikToks and grocery stores.

Yes. Stop it. Like, I mean, even the things that we watch on Instagram to get some of the information that we get, like, think of that Dollar General video that we saw like weeks ago. Oh, yeah. When it was like the person's walking around Dollar General, filming everything, commenting on everything. And it's like, that has become.

normal where you're just videoing and filming because your phone is your user interface with the world. And so you're just constantly trying to connect with people in a way that isn't human to human. It's human to phone to people. And we're so far beyond even comprehending another life that like what we just talked about for the last few minutes is like who cares, you know? Now it's just like, now we're talking like, is AI going to take over a power grid? And to be honest with you, we're going to get to a point where the AI is going to need the power. We're going to be on an old system. Nuclear power plants are being built or some are built, but we don't have enough.

And so it's not going to be an overnight switch. It's not going to be like, oh, all of a sudden we're on nuclear power and the old system is done. It's going to be a slow, gradual build. And just being frank, where we live, I mean, we're going to be one of the ones that are last to hop on more than likely unless those data farms do come here. maybe I don't know, but there's going to be coming a time where certain sections of society, you're going to have a human being or maybe a council or a collective group that you voted into your local municipality or whatever.

They're going to be making a human is going to be making a decision if they need to flip the switch from left to right. Because the left side is supplying your house with energy. right side is to supply the AI with energy. And I promise you it won't even be a debate as to where that goes. They're going to flip the switch. And they're going to call it Rolling Brownouts. They're going to make announcements. This is what we're doing.

Be prepared. How can you? And they're going to send out emails, pamphlets, door knockers, giving you a flyer saying, here are 10 ways you can stay warm this winter as rolling brownouts happen for a more sustainable, better future. And so going back to the question I asked you and to anybody watching and listening, what is your plan when this happens? It's not a matter of if. It is going to happen. And so what is your plan when it happens to sustain yourself and your family? So many people have electric homes. Many. I think, and my wife is anti this, by the way, okay? Because, like,

I don't know. She doesn't like living on the edge, I suppose. But when I was growing up, I lived in a Tinder box called a trailer. And my parents used a kerosene heater in the living room to heat it. I don't know how safe it was, but there are things that we can do, right? And so, obviously if you have a chimney and a fireplace in your home and you don't use it, maybe get it service, see if you can get it serviced and just get it operable, see what it would take. Because sometimes, like, the house that I had in Pennsylvania, the fireplace, when we bought the house, the fireplace wouldn't work. We knew that. And it was going to cost like $10,000 to fix. I was like, well, I guess we don't have a fireplace. And so we decorated it. We use it as

storage. We put things in there. But what is it that we can do, right? Is it electric heaters? No, the electricity's out. But maybe it's a tactic of, hey, make sure, you know, because most people have two cars, you know, families, two cars, make sure you always have a car or both your cars are at least half full. Because if the rolling brownout happens, you're going to need to turn your car on, maybe to stay warm or maybe to plug into so you can use an electric heater in the living room where all your family is using body heat and this little electric heater that's plugged in through an extension cord into your car out in the driveway. Wow.

You know? So like use, like, understanding, okay, I don't have the money for a generator, but I got something sitting in my driveway that is a generator. And so what plugs do I need to order off Amazon and what kind of things do I need to order off Amazon so that if the rolling brownout happens,

I can use my car as a generator to get through the five hours of a rolling brownout. And it's not a long-term solution for like days on end, but it's going to be a gradual build. And in the process, like, I think it's safe to say most people in this country still, compared to the world, is on world stage is luxury. You know, like we still go to Starbucks when, you know, maybe we're struggling to pay the electric bill, you know. And so if we start pulling back on the luxury with a plan of that money, that's $7 for Starbucks, I'm going to do that every day this week. I don't have enough money to buy this electric heater that I can then store for the off chance.

But I think that just a very practical way is to just look at your vehicles as generators and just build up supplies to use your vehicle as that generator. Like my truck has one of those, it's a fancy truck, but it has an ACD or ACDC power outlet. And so, like, I could maybe get an electric grill or something, plug it in on the back of the truck and I could, you know, cook food. So, like, maybe even think about how can I make my vehicle, the ultimate camping vehicle, but not for out in the woods for at home when the rolling brown out happens. Does that make sense? Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. So there are just, there are two things I wanted to say. Don't tell me I'm wrong. No. Okay, good. Thank God. I can't handle it.

I can't handle it. I can't handle it. I don't know what you'd be wrong about from that. So there, and this is like a little bit of a left turn here, but going back to some of the stuff we were talking about before, Tennessee is actually going to be the first state and actually the only place in the world that will have this one specific type of power, nuclear fusion, which if you guys have ever heard of this,

nuclear fusion is like basically harnessing the power of the sun, right? It's like it's that type of power. a different type of power than nuclear power plants because of the way that it's generated. It's so high in heat that they have to, you know, contain it in special materials. So Tennessee has just agreed this year to house the first ever in the world nuclear fusion plant. And I wanted to read you guys a quote because this was wild. This is this right here is Doc Auk. Think of Doc Ock saying this right here, okay?

Because this is wild. This is an effort, this is in quotes, this is an effort that has been going on for more than half a century where scientists and engineers across the country around the world are working to forge the power of the stars. That's Doc Ock right there. We're trying to harness the power of the sun. Because they're trying, think of one thing here, right?

what were they trying to reach in the Tower of Babel? They're trying to reach the heavens. And what did they consider the heavens? Stars. Like, it's a never-ending battle. I know Larry Raglan talks about this all the time. It's a never-ending battle. It's a never-ending event that they try and build this Tower of Babel.

Always repeating itself. Always repeating itself. Wow. Nothing is new under the sign. Absolutely right. we're going to bring this for landing. I hope people enjoyed this live. I think we could probably go another 30 minutes.

But to be honest with you, I got 15 minutes, we'll have to be home, and it's not 50-minute drive. So I need to get leaving before my wife kills me. Pray for him. Yes. I will drive fast. I will drive fast. But I appreciate everybody tuning into the live,

and hopefully they enjoyed this conversation. Hopefully, it gave them some things to think about. but I do think that we're at a point now where we can't live without AI and we need to figure out for ourselves individually what our off-ramp is. Answer the hard questions of are we just by existing supporting a system that's going to kill us? And also in the process of dying, how are you going to survive with your family until the last minute? And so start getting some game plans together. I don't talk about the like 25 years food supply. I don't have that partnership anymore.

But go get yourself a food supply and just have things stored up for this inevitable event. And it's not going to be a light switch. It's going to be a slow burn. But you need to start preparing now slowly. You don't have to dump your entire savings. But now prepare slowly for the slow burn that's coming. So with that said, everybody, thank you very much for being here. And this was a good one.

And you guys, I appreciate you tuning in with me and chopping it up a little bit. Merry Christmas, guys. Merry Christmas. See you. Oh, boy. Is that slingshot season? Hey, let's run it. Grace hit me like, boom.

Can't miss. God with me, whole squad going. Devil try to throw shade. I grin because the light too bright. Walking the spot like who that Standing in the slang and the truth slap Never in the way we moved dad I'm a name for the hit like a du wreck

I'm stuck in the valley that view bad Now I'm up in the hills with a food bag Got took all my elves ran through that Now the wind stack high like a new stack Every step with the light that's a blueprint Whole pack getting bright cause he doing it He the king so the crown got a new fit And the cross hit harder than a new clip

We ain't here just the body, it's a movement Every giant in the way he'll move it If the world when I hate we cool with it Because the love is strong with the tree life Boom can't miss snow God with me all squad Been down in the dirt now I'm clean Bloodbop out of brand new never dreamed up every thorn out of stone trying to team up got 50,000 standing here feeling beamed up

I remember them nice in the struggle feeling way down deep by the trouble But he showed up strong bro the muzzle now the fake bill bit like a double we're here for the frame of the flash We just point to the king letting flash living water in the cup no cap in the well don't run dry that's that fax now we run another pat with a show step Every loss is a set up for the best yet every giant in my face is a test bet got swing once Yeah, hey like boom boom boom came in snow
