My name is John Valentine and I’m from Salado and I’m here because I am a landowner, but I’m also an AI guy.
John Valentine Testifies at Senate Hearing Background
I led the team that built the eBay fraud detection engine. I led the team that built the TSA no-fly list. I led the team and managed the team that built the automobile fraud insurance fraud systems for 70% of the property casualty industry. My partners and I run a software company. One of my partners built the system for the United States CIA and the United States NSA. In every case, we’re able to do this without a data center.
What you need to understand is there is no need today for hyperscale data centers for AI
The reason that we are having these hyperscale data centers for AI is we have a series of software companies, in particular Palantir, in particular Oracle and others, who are using 1980s technology, and the 1980s technology needs data centers.
We, however, who are building some of the most modern AI systems, are able to take applications, and we do this regularly. With Apple Computer, weeks ago, we took an application that takes 92 hours to run in a data center, and we ran it on a computer you can hold in your hand in nine minutes that you plug it into the wall. When you plug it into the wall, it uses less power than a microwave oven.
The Fraud Craziness in America with Hyperscale AI Data Centers
We are building systems today for the federal government. We’re building systems for state governments. We’re involved with one particular state government using this distributed computing technology. It’s not just us. What you don’t know and what people don’t seem to understand is only America is doing this craziness with AI data centers. The Chinese are not building massive hyperscale AI data centers. What the Chinese are doing is they’re using distributed technology like ours, not ours, but like ours.
The Europeans are doing the same thing. So the fraud that’s being perpetrated on the American people is that we need AI data centers for AI. I assure you, we can prove to you that we do not.
