👉 Texans: if you don’t own your data before 2026, you’re going to pay for it. Literally.
Look at this map.
This isn’t “AI progress.”
This is water, power, and infrastructure being drained from communities that already don’t have margin.
And here’s the part that should piss you off:
Most of you aren’t using AI.
You’re renting intelligence.
Every prompt.
Every document.
Every workflow.
Shipped to massive cloud data centers,
trained on Reddit threads, scraped forums, comment sections —
the digital version of bathroom-stall internet.
Then it trains on your data too.
I built 🥦BrockBox because I’ve lived on both sides of control.
I know what it feels like when your future is dictated
by systems you don’t own
and people you’ll never meet.
That’s exactly what cloud AI is doing right now.
Data is the new oil.
And Texans are about to get screwed if they don’t wake up.
Your data gets extracted.
Your water gets burned.
Your grid gets stressed.
Your liability lands on you.
The value?
That flows somewhere else.
2026 isn’t hype.
It’s when regulation tightens, audits show up, and excuses stop working.
The question won’t be:
“Did you use AI?”
It’ll be:
“Where did it run, who owned the data, and who profited?”
Cloud AI can’t answer that cleanly.
Local-first AI can.
Running AI on your hardware,
trained on your data,
inside your walls
isn’t radical.
It’s common sense.
We all create data every single day.
It’s time we stop giving it away for free and start owning it.
Texans, this is the moment.
Own your AI.
Own your data.
Own your future.
That’s why I built 🥦BrockBox.com
