The Startup That Built OpenAI's Biggest Data Center Is Now Making Tiny Ones (6 minute read)
Crusoe built one of the world's biggest AI supercomputers in Abilene, Texas. The company is now investing heavily in smaller data centers. It is manufacturing them in factories, loading them onto flatbed trucks, and deploying them wherever it can find available power. The company believes this is a faster and cheaper method than solely relying on large construction projects. Giant clusters with hundreds of thousands of chips are useful for training, but inference can be done with considerably smaller amounts of chips.
The events of the last 24 hours are stunning. And not in a good way. Nothing like this has ever happened in the history of tech, and it’s unfolding right now.
Here’s a start. Maybe you’ve already heard about the guy who resigned from OpenAI. He warned that the technology could kill everybody before the end of the decade.
The AI fanboys are trying to defuse this situation. But their responses fall apart at the slightest touch. Consider the smear that this is just a PR campaign. Really? Others are hinting it could be a Chinese plot. Yeah, sure….
But the biggest lie is the claim that these people don’t know what they are talking about. The reality is that they understand this subject better than anybody.
What’s happening here is obvious—eight different people building this technology are afraid of what they’re seeing. But they don’t have the power individually to stop the insanity.
If this isn’t a call to action, I don’t know what is. Trillions of dollars are getting pumped into a runaway technology, and the public already hates it intensely. Now the people making it happen are warning it just might kill everybody.
This demands a response from the highest circles of power and authority. If that doesn’t happen, we will live to regret this inaction. And that’s the best case scenario. The worst is that there won’t be anyone left to regret a thing.
POSTSCRIPT:
Since publishing this article earlier today, several other AI insiders have stepped forward to share their concerns about the tremendous risk posed by this technology.
Let me share three of them. Here’s the first—from Ethan Perez at Anthropic.
This makes clear at how widespread these concerns are inside the AI community. And, in fact, these individuals keep repeating that they are merely expressing views widely shared by their colleagues.
In the face of this, any claim that this is some kind of stunt or smear campaign is easily refuted. Not a single insider has stepped forward to deny that these concern represent the actual views of a large number of AI experts.
On Monday, Aug. 31, a source alerted KrebsOnSecurity to a service
advertised by a new user on the Russian cybercrime forum Exploit,
offering access to digital scans of identity documents on more
than 170 million people in North America. The source brought it to
my attention because the proprietor of this identity theft service
offered my Virginia drivers license as a free sample in their
initial sales thread on Exploit.
The service, dubbed Nexus, claims to have more than 153 million
drivers licenses for people in the United States and Canada, as
well as more than 10 million identification cards; more than three
million travel documents and/or international IDs; and at least
579,000 medical cards.
A quick look around Nexus finds they are likely not exaggerating
about that 153 million number: Running a blank search in Nexus
(with no search parameters entered) returns approximately 11.5
million pages of results, with roughly 15 results displayed per
page. It includes documents from people in both Canada and the
United States, but the bulk of these records are on Americans:
searching for just Canadian drivers licenses returns approximately
1.1 million results, with the largest concentration from Ontario
(473,673 records).
Krebs seemingly tracked down the source: IDScan.net, an outfit that is used by car rental agencies like Hertz (seemingly where they got Krebs’s own drivers license) and marijuana dispensaries. They kept over 150 million ID card scans and lost them all in a data breach. Unreal.
No words I type can convey what was
done. The human lexicon (in any language) does not contain strong enough
descriptors for this type of evil.
When I write about the 25 year death
rate outlook ratios from these shots - please understand - I do it with the
most profound sadness my soul can express. These are our people, our neighbors,
our friends, our children… this was done throughout the world. All western
(anglosphere controlled) nations. And Russia and China did their deal as well.
This was beyond “governments.” Something - got to all of them. This was done to
humanity.
Covid didn’t end. It didn’t stop.
The architects simply moved onto the
next phase of the plan: the infrastructure (datacenters). We are literally building
our own prison bars. How can humanity be so blind?
When I say we’re at 1:32 now
(perhaps already as low as 1:18), and heading towards 1:3, 1:2 or 1:1
by 2045, it is not a guess. Or a shot in the dark. Or a flippant estimation. It
is based on the known toxicity of all this shit. And that’s me calculating it
individually over time. They mashed that shit all together at once - then
bombarded it with EMF to get it to assemble and propagate.
How in the world society got to this
point - no future human generation will ever be able to figure out. But it did.
Breaking what they did all apart…
shows their pure unadulterated evilness. Deliberate. Calculated. Lying.
Manipulation. Beyond words demonic. That is the word tho… demonic.
Here are the 55 undeclared chemical elements detected by
ICP-MS across the six vaccine brands, organized for clarity.

Takeaways
Chromium and sodium
were found in literally every single sample - 100%.
Boron, gallium, aluminum, titanium, nickel, arsenic,
chromium, copper, strontium, niobium, molybdenum, barium, hafnium, and
calcium appeared across ALL six
brands.
11 of 15 lanthanides
showed up - these are what powers ‘smart devices’ for connectivity. Used
in optoelectronics and optogenetics, and have well known cytotoxic
effects. And were NEVER listed as pharmaceutical ingredients.
All 11 EU-defined toxic heavy metals were detected.
The samples were heterogeneous - even two draws
from the same vial had different elemental profiles, which the
authors attribute to self-assembling nanostructures changing over time.
Combined
with prior SEM-EDX studies, the total rises to 62 undeclared chemical
elements across these products.
If you were forced to detonate hundreds of nuclear bombs somewhere on Earth and tried to ensure there would be no health consequences for the planet’s population, where would you do it?
Neither the Nevada desert nor the Pacific atolls, you probably won’t be surprised to hear, is the correct answer, yet that is exactly where the United States decided to carry out atmospheric nuclear tests during the Cold War, with more than 200 such weapons detonated in those locations between 1945 and 1962.
In 1963, the year after atmospheric testing stopped, the Limited Test Ban Treaty was signed, forcing nations, principally the U.S. and the Soviet Union, to move testing deep underground.
When properly engineered, hundreds of meters of solid rock can trap the
fission products, sealing them in place and preventing them from
entering the biosphere.
Deep underground containment, as it is known, is one of two correct answers to the question above, the other being deep outer space.
The fallout traveled far beyond the test sites
Unfortunately, the treaty came too late for many Americans. The explosions released radioactive fallout into the atmosphere, with Nevada, Utah and Arizona among the areas receiving the heaviest amounts.
However, wind carried radioactive particles hundreds or even thousands of miles, meaning communities across the continental United States were exposed to fallout.
The food chain also suffered, with fallout settling on soil, water, farmland and vegetation. As livestock ate contaminated grass and drank contaminated water, radioactive iodine could concentrate in their milk, which people then ingested.
The health consequences took years to emerge
The consequences
for the health of those living near or downwind of the Nevada Test
Site, or consuming contaminated food and drink, didn’t become
immediately apparent. Instead, they gradually emerged years, and in some cases decades, after the initial exposure.
Thyroid cancer
is one of the most well-documented cancer risks associated with
radioactive fallout, mainly due to radioactive iodine-131, one of the
isotopes released into the atmosphere, being absorbed by the thyroid.
Other cancers associated with radiation exposure include lung, breast, colon and stomach cancers, although the strength of the evidence varies depending on the cancer and level of exposure.
Children were particularly vulnerable
to radiation-related cancer because developing tissues are more
sensitive to radiation. Younger people exposed to radioactive iodine
also faced greater thyroid exposure.
Leukemia has
also been associated with radiation exposure, with radiation-induced
leukemia generally having a shorter latency period than many solid
tumors.
A legacy that lasted long after the explosions
In 1990, the U.S. government established the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act, allowing people who developed certain serious illnesses as a result of nuclear testing to claim compensation.
Affected individuals can still apply for compensation, more than 60 years after testing stopped, reflecting the ongoing impact of the detonations, which should, thankfully, never be repeated.
