### Nvidia Partnership, Palantir's Data Sovereignty Model

- **Episode:** [1882: Buy the Crash](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1882-buy-the-crash.md)
- **Published:** 2026-07-02
- **Time:** 45:55–51:17
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1882-buy-the-crash/chapter/nvidia-partnership-palantir-s-data-sovereignty-model.md

Palantir has entered a direct partnership with Nvidia to allow customers to run open large language models while maintaining control over their own data and "alpha." Alex Karp argued that enterprises want to own their means of production rather than transferring data to third-party providers. He also dismissed the "safety" marketing used by AI companies as a gimmick to avoid government oversight.

Running high-quality AI models locally requires significant hardware investment, with top-tier NVIDIA GPU stacks or Apple M4 Super Pro systems costing between $10,000 and $15,000. Local hosting is preferred by some for consistency, as cloud-based models can vary based on data center variables. The segment also touches on the financial stability of companies like OpenAI and the potential for government intervention in the AI race against China.

Meta's release of the "Segment Anything Model" (SAM) for object identification in images and videos is discussed. The hosts debunk the "magic" of the AI by explaining the underlying labor involved, where thousands of workers in the Philippines and India perform manual data labeling for micropayments. They characterize the hype surrounding computer vision as a waste of corporate resources that relies on human-in-the-loop training rather than true autonomous intelligence.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1542-digital-dementia/chapter/ai-probability-calculations-andrew-yang-false-idols.md

The hosts argue that AI is merely performing probability calculations based on large language models, similar to how chess computers operate. They criticize the elevation of figures like Andrew Yang and Steve Wozniak as "intellectual giants" in the AI debate. The segment characterizes the current AI movement as a "false idol" replacing previous scientific trends.

### Computer Model Discrepancies, The Russian Model

- **Episode:** [1336: Climate Crisis Special](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1336-climate-crisis-special.md)
- **Published:** 2021-04-08
- **Time:** 48:59–52:55
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1336-climate-crisis-special/chapter/computer-model-discrepancies-the-russian-model.md

A discussion on climate forecasting reveals that of the 32 families of computer models used by the UN, only the Russian model accurately tracks real-world temperature data. The other models are criticized for being "parameterized" or "fudged" to predict excessive warming. Experts explain that these models were tuned to simulate early 20th-century warming that occurred before significant CO2 increases, leading to systematic errors in current predictions.

### Neil Ferguson, Imperial College Model and Code Flaws

- **Episode:** [1241: Curtain Wranglers](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1241-curtain-wranglers.md)
- **Published:** 2020-05-14

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1241-curtain-wranglers/chapter/neil-ferguson-imperial-college-model-and-code-flaws.md

The epidemiological model produced by Neil Ferguson at Imperial College, which predicted 500,000 deaths in the UK and 2 million in the US, has come under scrutiny for using 13-year-old undocumented code. Independent reviews suggest the model produces inconsistent results based on hardware and configuration dependencies. Critics compare the reliance on these "mediocre models" to the modeling used in global warming projections.

Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator, challenged computer models predicting 2.2 million deaths in the United States. Birx characterized these projections as theoretical models based on infectiousness without controls, similar to climate change modeling. The hosts argue the media uses these "fear-mongering" models and misrepresented maps, such as the Johns Hopkins "Pew-Pew" map, to drive viewership and revenue.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/1114-fudged/chapter/patrick-j-michaels-climate-models-and-the-russian-model.md

Climatologist Patrick J. Michaels argued on Fox News that 31 out of 32 major climate models used by the United Nations are systematically over-predicting global warming. He noted that only the Russian model accurately reflects observed temperature data from satellites and weather balloons. Michaels claimed that most models are "parameterized" or tuned to show warming that is not actually occurring in the atmosphere.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/899-loyalty-test/chapter/global-warming-skepticism-rising-sea-levels-and-dutch-research.md

The hosts express skepticism regarding global warming, citing a lack of visible sea-level rise at their own coastal properties. They reference a story claiming Australia acts as a "sponge" to prevent rising tides and a Dutch scientific article suggesting global warming could actually lower sea levels. The discussion characterizes the climate agenda as a "globalist" machine.

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/867-wordy-durd/chapter/hurricane-matthew-climate-change-media-narrative.md

The media coverage of Hurricane Matthew is criticized for focusing on climate change and global warming rather than meteorological facts. The hosts play clips from "Democracy Now!" and discuss how activists like Bill McKibben use extreme weather events to push the Paris Agreement. They argue that the computer models used to predict the storm's path were largely inaccurate.

- **Time:** 1:46:25–1:49:53
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/842-cannmed/chapter/cyber-power-global-warming-and-computer-modeling.md

The "efficient government" is reportedly consolidating power through the cyber realm, with the White House accelerating hiring for cyber experts. The hosts discuss how global warming hysteria is driven by the administrative state through flawed computer modeling. They argue that if modeling were accurate, weather prediction would be far more reliable, and they recommend the original version of "Confessions of an Economic Hitman."

- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/733-fusion-cell/chapter/white-house-climate-summit-gina-mccarthy-normal-people.md

During a three-hour White House summit on public health and climate change, EPA Director Gina McCarthy claimed 57,000 people would die prematurely by 2100 without action. She dismissed climate deniers, stating that "normal human beings" support government intervention. The hosts criticize her use of specific statistics, such as saving acreage the size of Maryland from wildfires.

### Climate Science as a Mind Control Experiment

- **Episode:** [727: Win By Losing](https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/727-win-by-losing.md)
- **Published:** 2015-06-04
- **Time:** 1:11:21–1:15:04
- **Transcript:** https://search.noagendashow.net/episode/727-win-by-losing/chapter/climate-science-as-a-mind-control-experiment.md

The debate over climate change is characterized as a government-led experiment in mind control, utilizing psychological tricks and the "97% consensus" meme to influence public opinion. Critics argue that climate science fails the scientific method because it relies on non-repeatable computer models rather than empirical observation. The discussion references the "Climategate" email scandal as evidence of a coordinated effort to manipulate data behind the scenes.
