That's the AT&T Long Lines building, it is just a building full of servers and phone lines.
The NSA have an office there and would tap lines they deemed suspicious since most calls across the country were routed through it.
And now it's suspected of housing their mega-computers for illegal mass surveillance. The building is supposedly built to withstand nuclear attack. It's a building built for machines, and an example of brutalist architecture.
I think you mean brutalist architecture.
I did! Thanks for the correction.
I think you mean brutalist architecture.
That sounds a lot like surveillance
Here’s the documentary

If you want more of this sort of stuff wheck out Pine Gap
Lots of shady shit happening here in straya as well
😂 It's getting more real every second and the fact it sounded stupid.... ( the prediction part I mean )
It’s actually an NSA listening installation named TITANPOINTE.
Right across Broadway is also the NYC FBI office.
Source: I lived a block away. It was fun making my WiFi network “TITANPOINTE- 5G-300%-POWER” during the pandemic.
Oh thank God. I thought it was a surveillance center
It's The Oldest House.
You are a worm through time
The thunder song distorts you
You hear our words, but you forget
33 Thomas Street in Manhattan. AT&T and the NSA work together there.
How are they gonna spy on you without Windows?
They use Windows, I hear it's full of bugs.
Goddamn Windows 95
*11
Linux, duh
The NSA actually uses Linux.
They even contributed to it. They also collaborated with RedHead and develope something called SELinux which is a pretty sophisticated permission management tool.
How do they survey you without windows though? Do you think they use Linux?
There are backdoors built into most manufacturer's motherboards nowadays iirc
Intel Management Engine is also noted to be a backdoor, which is in the CPU itself.
The Purism laptop disables IME, or at least tries to from what I understand.
Most likely yes
Servers are like 98% linux or something like that
Pretty sure there is an emacs extension for seeing through concrete.
How could it be for surveillance if they can't even see outside the building? 🤷🏻♂️
CIA: "Come on man makes no sense why a building with no windows to spy on people how can we spy if we can't even look out "
Lots of buildings like that are often just electrical substations. Never that tall though lol.
Or disguised oil rigs.
Or jails.
It's the AT&T Long Lines Building. It's pretty likely the NSA did their surveillance of the international calls (and a lot more) there.

How would they survey without windows?
Is that one of the elevator testing facilities Otis and Thyssen-Krupp operate? Those are tall and windowless as well since they’re just to test elevator models
Now I've got the Men in Black theme song stuck in my head. Thanks a lot.
No of course it's not just a surveillance center. They have smokers in addition to tineyes.
It looks like a vent for a tunnel.
The county jail downtown looks similar.
You live in San Jose?
Don't dox me bro. jk no
You totally live in San Jose
Sshhhhhh
My money is on urban oil derrick.
Datacentre/telephone exchange.
Somebody posted in another thread. It's the data center for AT&T and the NSA in Manhattan.
I'm betting subway ventilation equipment.
