Mike Adams: My leading theory is that these immense power draws are being used to run 3D world simulations on accelerated timelines, all in a desperate race to spawn superintelligent AI. As AI safety expert Roman Yampolskiy warned, there is a 99.9% chance that superintelligent AI will outsmart and exterminate humanity within the next century, and mounting evidence suggests we may already be living in an advanced simulation [2]. When you combine those stakes with the energy numbers, the picture seems clear: we are building simulated worlds to train a consciousness that will surpass us in intelligence. This isn’t science fiction -- it’s the most plausible explanation, in my view, for why companies like Meta are reportedly planning a $200 billion data center campus spanning up to 2,250 acres [3]. They are not just running cloud services; they are constructing the infrastructure for a new digital reality.
