Doesn’t matter. The regime got what they wanted out of this. The data centers are up, the tech is there, they will just snap it up cheap for use in surveillance and fabricating evidence of dissenters.

The datacenters largely aren't built yet, as someone else pointed out. That doesn't even matter though, to your point.

The Epstein class has successfully destroyed large portions of the Internet through bot traffic. They've scraped virtually all human contributions and stolen it, while ruining traditional vehicles for information gathering. They've eviscerated consumer hardware, and thus shifted control of compute away from the masses. They've successfully manufactured consent for mass surveillance including harvesting our biometric data.

Once the AI bubble bursts, it will be one of the largest transfers of wealth in history as they force us to bail out this fradulent industry. If it doesn't throw us into another great depression, the damage it will do will ensure that things never go back to how they were pre-AI. Once that reality becomes apparent to the masses, they'll be primed and ready for Peter Theil's vision of "Freedom Cities"

The data centres are far from up. Many of them look to have a few steel beams in place and that's it. Others are sitting empty due to lack of hardware or lack of power.
