Nvidia and OpenAI proudly announce a $100 billion deal to build AI data centers with ten gigawatts of power. Headlines frame it as progress, but behind the glitter lies a darker truth: this is not about humanity, it is about empire. Ten gigawatts is more than the consumption of entire nations, yet no one asks who pays the bill or what ecosystems collapse under the weight of cooling towers and gas turbines. Instead, the narrative sells this as “innovation.” In reality, it is consolidation: more control for the U.S. war machine, more compute for surveillance, and less space for dissent. The market cheers, stock prices rise, but people forget: the more compute is locked in the hands of a few, the less freedom exists for the many. This is not the future of AI for humanity – it is the monopolization of truth itself.
