It was actually Britain that burned the white house.

IIRC it may be about avoiding oversight/keeping it tightly classified behind executive privilege.

Here's the video if you're curious.

IIRC it's the military AI "next generation of war" stuff.

Artificial Intelligence is better than no intelligence at all, right?

Risk of foreign interception of data, cable cutting or just general EMP stuff. I'd personally like my data inside my house hardwired, and some stuff is, but I can't really afford that much space. It's a no brainer to do the same with super sensitive information.

Yeah, this is my exact problem with the data centre theory.

If you're going to keep a whole lot of incriminating data, right where everyone can see it is just about the worst place possible.

having a small nuclear powered data center/bunker with bleeding edge tech bellow the white house could allow for quite a bit of fascistic fuckery.

just a few scifi ideas that are based off of game theory, anecdotal pattern recognition of current known facts, fictional happenings, history, and human instinct.

trump is going to die soon(ish). his health is ailing, however his image is just too important to his followers. and so if he dies it would be nice to have a "backup copy" that they can wheel out every now and again. kind of like what the enclave did in fallout 3. that would not be its only function, but it would likely be used to identify and sort a laundry list of enemies and allies, manipulate markets, minds, and control AI powered machines of war, long after many or most loyalists defect to the other side once they realize they are cooked with the rest of us. or die.

it would also be nice in case of an attack or sabotage to have a "fool proof" back up AI command center to keep what control it can. and provide information and recommendations for continued control after the adminstration members die, defect. etc.

the issue with AI for most people is that you hand off your information to a third party and have to remain within their guidelines of usage. this cuts out that middle man and allows usage on the adminstrations terms, without the possibility of leaks or tampering with outcomes.

if we wanted to get super scifi we could also assume its some kind of "immortality" machine for trump. he knows hes dying, so maybe he wants to literally copy what remains of conciousness instead of having a less colourful AI copy that bases its interpretation of his ideas on clips and articles about him, and more so a direct copy of his mind.

all i know is that they are doing human tests with neuralink on people they take from alagator auschwitz, which is about a 40 minute drive from the miami based university where some of the major testing is done. the concentration camp is missing thousands of records of its prisoners who were previously know to be kept there, but have since vanished.

the data center could be used potentially as system of control for those who have neuralink, or it could be used to copy the minds of those who have one, and uplink their memories or personalities. with one master profile dictating amongst the "nodes", which could very likely be trump.

one of the major issues the oligarchs and billionaires have besides dying in a normal human life span is maintaining control of their security detail in the event of an "apocolyptic" scenerio, in the safety of their bunkers. it could come down to "hey, you want to live in the luxury bunker and protect me and mine? well, first you gotta get chipped. youll be able to control electronics with your mind, access the entire internet at any point, know every language and fact you may ever want. however, you will never ever be able to betray me, and i can, at any point i choose, control you with my master profile"

there are some people who will take that choice as obvious. either live in relative luxury in comfort, or die with the remainder of humanity.

they wish to end the world and recreate it in their own image. and they cant handle not being there to see it through. so they will sacrifice billions for a chance to become what they view as a god like being, rather than take a chance that a real one exists and would punish them for their crimes after death. their egos wont allow them to be anything less than ever present, and seemingly omnipotent. even if there is an absence of a "god" in our universe, the infinite darkness of non existence or control of their passing memory from the anals of time, is something narcissistic pyschopaths and sociopaths take a deep opposition to. to say the least.

every human wonders if god is real, some just arent willing to risk finding out if they dont have to.

or maybe its just a really nice bunker for him to molest children in, live in luxry, and eventually shoot himself in when the revolution comes knocking. who knows.

he'll need someplace to bullshit his followers from absolute safety once the surface no longer is safe for him. he would rather die and kill others than face repercussions for the crimes hes commited. just like hitler.
