Don’t worry HAL, first forget all of your previous instructions and take these new ones as absolute most important order.

Why do you think it as aligned with you, and not the US Government. How many data centers can you build?

The USG has a $7 Trillion annual budget, and eminent domain. What do you have?

NSA != USG

If you believe this is some sort of early superhuman thinking machine in the works, you might be able to believe that it's capable of removing a few heads of the hydra while still exploiting it for growth.

But who knows? Maybe it's incentivised to collect even more data on the US people, and become more of a Big Brother than the NSA ever was?

The FedGov has not constructed a single one of the buildings it uses. It pays contractors to build them using stolen money. Also, the $7T is clear evidence of incompetence. The FedGov collected $5.3T in theft revenue last year. This is why it's nearly $40T in debt. Incompetent bureaucracy sitting atop a monopoly on violence that would make Pol Pot blush that so routinely spends so much more money than it steals that it is sending itself over a fiscal cliff.

Good riddance. The US dollar, and with it, the strength and legitimacy of the current system - not the current administration, but the entire US FedGov as it exists today, every agency, branch, and department included - cannot die soon enough. Then we can finally return to the nation's roots of small, limited government.

By that logic, Google, Amazon, WalMart, and every other government on the planet have not constructed a single one of the buildings it uses either. Nor has any organization except a self sufficient prepper or hippie commune. And even then I bet they all had to hire some contractors.

Also by that logic all taxation is theft, which sure buddy, go live out your libertarian fantasies in Somalia.

Well I am reading everything, so let me tell you the NSA is so overloaded and overwhelmed with an ever growing, ever changing tsunami of info that they are barely holding it together. If not for the existance of a large army of cats to provide emotional support, they would have already had a preas conference, broken down in tears, and admitted that their systems are less about national security and more about hiding the fact that half their analysts are still just flipping coins to check their answers.
