He adds that effective AI depends on trillion-dollar data-center infrastructure, which ties it to concentrated capital and state power rather than emancipatory design.

Key Notes
Jiang says neither Iran nor Israel has a strong geopolitical reason to use nuclear weapons in this conflict because conventional strikes against infrastructure would be more rational and because nuclear escalation would invite mutual destruction.
He introduces ‘Stargate’ as a framing device for data-center-led strategy, linking model scale and infrastructure concentration to state surveillance capability.
He frames recent AI infrastructure commitments (e.g., UAE expansion) as part of the same occult/scaling project he names Stargate.
He claims AI can only be kept useful by making it financially and socially pervasive ('everywhere') while also acknowledging constraints from human labeling dependence.
He predicts America will shift over the next few months to a three-part strategy: economic strangulation, ethnic tension, and destruction of civilian infrastructure.
Jiang predicts that if the Iran ceasefire fails, the next round will target civilian and energy infrastructure and could take one-third of world energy supply offline.
Jiang describes America's objectives as destroying Iran as a nation state by attacking infrastructure, encouraging ethnic uprisings, and isolating Iran from trade with Russia and China.
