Could someone explain to me, like I am 8, why we need data centers, centralized processing, and AI ? Why? Who decided?
So governments can predict when Muslim terrorists will likely shoot people so governments can prevent the shootings
You know that there are easier better cheaper and not imprisoning everyone else in their net....
However, God made man to ultimately be interdependent to quite a degree, kind of like a team, complimenting each other, but which also involves competition and trade to varying degrees.
And if one person, family or business become more efficient or otherwise better relative to cost and production, etc., then it can place you at a disadvantage.
Likewise for military purposes. Much of the advances in technology is a byproduct of wars.
And with Godless Chinese communists (esp.), militant Muslims, and other lustful enemies employing AI, then the "free world" needs to keep up for both economic purposes and military ones.
Beyond that, God enabled man to explore His creation, and the more we discovery just how exceedingly vast, systematically ordered, and exquisitely finely tuned for life this universe is, then the more it testifies to a design, requiring a First Cause (at the least), that of a being of supreme power and intelligence being behind the existence of energy and organization of matter, and laws regarding the same. Which most manifestly is the God of the Bible.

AI is used in large call centers to predict call volumes and route calls throughout the country. When tied into the CRM systems, it can identify product production and logistical problems, and route that information to the proper people without the need for intervention by an intermediary.
In the logisitics business it can be used to predict the flow of traffic into warehouses based on traffic patterns and feedback from connected trucks.
Those are the applications that exist today.
In the entertainment field it is already being used to reduce pre-production and post production in the film and video production business. This saves millions in the production of a film and it cuts development time on the front end by months.
You will tell me that you don’t call anyone. And you don’t get anything shipped to you. And you don’t go to the movies or watch any videos.
And that is why I suggest you are just being contrary.
Except data centers are being forced down people’s throats.
For no concrete reason.
Think of all the Traders on Wall Street, sitting at multiple computer monitors all day trading stocks, bonds, etc., companies might need one tenth the number of those people going forward, it’s much easier to have an AI system make trading decisions at speeds humans can’t comprehend.
Think of Amazon and all those fulfillment centers employing thousands of people, who needs people to pick merchandise to fill orders when AI enabled robots can do the same function at a fraction of the cost.
Think of the military applications, I could easily see in the future, something like Skynet from the Terminator Movies, a distributed group of AI supercomputers monitoring all phone calls, emails, public and private communications in places like China...
The application of AI enable devices and services is endless in the time and cost savings that are possible.
Stupid program.
In. What way?
Tell me what is needed that couldn’t be handled in a distributed processing way.
Yes. I could have continued; the list is long.
Doing what?
One of the main reasons they won’t tell you is because they want to store every detail of your life from birth to death in one system. Authorities and AI will use that to do their thing. That takes a lot of data storage.
That is so true. Something like 90 % ofvthe web is derelict
Well, when everything becomes digital; ID, Money, tracking, spying, etc they need space to store, speed to access and redundancy. But that’s just my thought…..
Thanks, AI did not know that:)
The data centers are different in that they are binging built to house all of the data collected by the various companies that want all of your personal data, from the metadata on your photos to the geo-location of your cellphone ever minute of every day.
That data is purchased by every company that wants to sell you anything and everything.
........
Sort of like those jobs that went overseas in the 80s and 90s. Cheaper yes but no one had money.
Concrete uses so far
To track everyone
To lay off workers
Explain please?
Why?
Because machines are cheaper than people. Often smarter, faster and more precise.
Who decided?
The people/entities who normally pay people for jobs.
Huge profits, mostly through cost reductions, await.
Just as major social disruption also awaits.
I use the “Give me a human” method with some of this.
Whether it is on the phone with “customer service” / “help desk”
or in an online chat/help desk, I ask for a human by typing or saying (phone) one word - human.
Sometimes it takes several times typing human to reach a breathing person. In the old days, I would often hit the 0 (Operator) key on the phone. It worked many times in bypassing the “menu tree” insanity.
One other method I discovered was really fun. I researched and found the Executive Secretary / Assistant to the CEO/president of the company I was working with. I would talk them about the best person(s) to talk to about XYZ.
THEN, I would use the Exec Assistant’s name in further communication, interaction with the company. Sometimes you could almost hear their backs straighten up upon mentioning that name.
Again
Concrete uses so far
To track everyone
To lay off workers
