We can finally stop pretending we don’t know how OpenAI and the rest of the Silicon Valley AI cartel intend to stay profitable.
The answer is, and always has been, war.
If you consider the monstrous infrastructure required to sustain these systems.
We are talking about colossal, billion-dollar data centers.
We are talking about tens of millions of dollars burned daily just on cooling systems, the relentless, devastating strip-mining of the earth for rare-earth metals to build their GPUs, and the astronomical power consumption required to train these massive models.
Then you'd realise that there is absolutely no way they are recouping hundreds of billions of dollars from $20 monthly subscriptions and a handful of API tokens.
Every single wire, every server farm, and every algorithm was designed from the ground up for military contracts, autonomous weapons, and global surveillance.
Mega-corporations are the true, unmasked face of evil we need to fear and not the pathetic, spineless puppet politicians they buy, lobby, and install into power to act as their PR mouthpieces.
People condemn the "British Empire" for its savage imperialism in Nigeria, completely forgetting the Royal Niger Company, the ruthless, profit-driven private corporation that actually bought, sold, and brutalized the region while hiding behind a corporate charter.
People remember Hitler as the singular monster of the Holocaust, but they conveniently grant amnesia to IBM, who built the punch-card tracking systems that organized the extermination camps.
They forget JP Morgan, British Petroleum, Standard Oil, IG Farben, and the rest of the corporate titans that funded the fascist machine, supplied the fuel, and provided the logistical backbone that made such an industrialized horror a reality.
People blame George W. Bush for the Iraq War which turned into dirty slaughterhouse that eradicated millions of Arab lives and sacrificed thousands of American troops.
But they conveniently look the other way when it comes to Halliburton, Lockheed Martin, Raytheon, and the rest of the defense and oil conglomerates that bathed in the blood of the Middle East and walked away pocketing hundreds of billions of dollars.
You look at these slick, modern corporations with their fancy campuses and you wonder how they sustain their endless wealth? The answer is terror, the answer is wars and endless wars.
If the American hegemony were to miraculously collapse tomorrow, do you really think the wars would stop? Nope, not even for a second.
These corporate parasites hold no loyalty to any flag.
They will simply and happily pack up, migrate to another global superpower, change their letterheads, shuffle a few board members, and continue spreading terror and devastation across the globe to feed their own insatiable greed.
It is an endless cycle of parasitic migration: from Britain, to Germany, and then directly into the veins of America.
America today will beat its chest on the global stage, claiming to be the supreme fighter of "Antisemitism" and the supreme defender of human rights.
Yet they conveniently omit that after World War II, under Operation Paperclip, the United States gleefully absorbed the very architects of the Nazi regime.
It was the exact same fascist scientists, the complicit corporate bankers, the brutal intelligence officers, the chemical engineers, and the rocket manufacturers who facilitated the Holocaust that moved to America.
The US swallowed them whole, along with their blood-stained equipment, their stolen trade secrets, and their patents.
The only difference now is the crosshairs. Their target is no longer European Jews; the crosshairs are fixed squarely on the rest of the Global South. The names of the companies and their leaders have all changed, but the core, venomous philosophy of absolute imperialism is still very much alive, breathing, and hungry for its next war.
