When The Grid Chooses AI Over You | Slingshot Nation

Today’s live show dives headfirst into the uncomfortable question no one wants to ask: what happens when artificial intelligence starts consuming more power than the system can handle? As AI data centers explode in size and demand, our already fragile power grid is being pushed to the breaking point, raising serious concerns about rolling blackouts, energy rationing, rising costs, and who ultimately gets prioritized when electricity becomes scarce. We’ll explore how this race for computational dominance could quietly reshape daily life, strain communities, and usher in a very real dystopian future where human needs come second to machines—and whether there’s an off-ramp before the lights go out.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
