Caller: Nashville Zoo Data Center & Theo's Conspiracy Theory (Amy Tompkins)
At 51:40 · chapter starts 42:10
Amy Tompkins calls to plead for Theo's platform: an Atlanta company is building an AI data center right between the Nashville Zoo and an elementary school, and she wants someone with an audience to amplify the fight. Theo digs into it live, reading from Google's AI overview: DC Blox proposed a 24-acre, 2-building campus at 648 Grasmere Park, backed by Bain Capital Credit and Post Road Group. [1] — Theo Von "A caller named Amy alerted Theo that a Georgia company is building a 24-acre AI data center next to the Nashville Zoo and an elementary sch…" 42:10 The Nashville Metropolitan Council passed a temporary moratorium restricting large data centers within half a mile of homes. A producer shares the change.org petition link, which Theo endorses. Then he spirals: 'Fuck AI.' Nobody he knows is excited about AI. We already have everything we need. His conspiracy theory is that some people have cracked the code to immortality and are using data centers, flock cameras, Palantir, and social credit scoring to corral the rest of humanity into an AI-governed existence — a new God who grants or withholds what you need based on your compliance. He closes by saying the devil is alive and a liar, and that 'tarantulas that aren't humans' have taken over society.
Nashville Zoo Data Center — A Citizen's Call to Action
A caller named Amy alerted Theo that a Georgia company is building a 24-acre AI data center next to the Nashville Zoo and an elementary school. Theo researched it live, named the owners, and called out the Nashville Metropolitan Council's moratorium.
Theo's Conspiracy Theory: Data Centers and Immortality
Theo floats his hypothesis: some people have cracked the code to living forever, and data centers are the mechanism to lock everyone else down. Flock cameras, Palantir, social credit scores, and AI as a replacement deity — it all connects in Theo's mind.
