    That’s just a psyop, NASA and the CIA were hiding some of the world’s leading stable diffusion models for the time in a secret underground Data center somewhere in the Nevada desert.

          But I thought the Stargate project was the US government’s current big AI thing?

              But I thought that THAT Stargate project had its own naquadah and naquadriah based generators for decades now?

                They did, but for regular base operations I believe they continued to use the electric grid. Like the lighting, computers, HVAC, elevators, communications, workshops, medical equipment, etc…

                  I don’t think so, I mean, it cost $2bn just to turn the lights on at that place! And that was 1995 2 billion, not hyperinflated 2026 2 billion!

                    True, but I’m only going on memory as I rewatch the shows every year, lol. 🫣 So at some point they mention only the gate and dialer use the newer generators.

                    The other base systems default to the original power grid and only in emergency go to the new generators. My guess would be tax reasons to keep the general public from thinking something is off with the books for the facility? Redundancy might also make sense. 🤔
