Verdict with Ted Cruz · BONUS POD: The AI Cold War Has Begun—Can America Beat China without Beating America? · 15 Sep 2026 podcast

OpenAI disclose a China-linked influence operation called Data Center Bandwagon. matched

That's the exact name. matched

Now the accounts likely originating in China were then using this isn't a joke, artificial intelligence to create English language social media content, criticizing artificial matched

American AI infrastructure. matched

Some prompts were written in simplified Chinese, but the content was designed to look American. matched

Now think about how unbelievable that is. matched

Now, what were they saying in this propaganda and why was it so effective? matched

Let me just go through some of the highlights for you so you understand. matched

First off, they were telling Americans that your electricity bills are going to go up drastically, and that if your electricity bill has gone up in the last several years, it's all because of AI data centers. matched

By the way, the majority of Americans do not live anywhere close to an AI data center. matched

They also wanted you to understand. matched

This, that big tech is getting rich and they're doing it off the backs of you and your grid. matched

They then would tell you that the data centers are destroying your communities. matched

And then they would say your electric grid's gonna go down, so you won't have electricity. matched

Now, take every legitimate concern surrounding this technology and then pour gasoline on it, and that is how modern information warfare works. matched

And China was using AI to do exactly that. matched

You don't have to uh necessarily invent the disagreement. matched

You just find an existing disagreement and make Americans angrier at one another over it. matched

Now, I want to be crystal clear about this. matched

If you don't want a giant data center next to your house, that doesn't make you, by the way, a Chinese agent. matched
