Please stop using AI, please.
If you're required to use AI for your job, then sabotage the efforts.
I beg of you.

I have been, by focusing on enabling team members to use it exactly like how leadership wants. You want them to use more AI? Okay… they need Agentic harnesses that can do work for them locally. They need MacBook Pros to run the models. They need cloud keys to test different frontier models for different loads. They need governance, observability, repeatability, scheduling, human-in-the-loop…
I’m going to show them that anyone can build a bridge, but only an engineer can build a bridge that barely works. On top of that, I’m going to show them that they’re wrong in believing they want a bridge. All it should take is seeing that they got exactly what they wanted without getting anything that they wanted.
Pure wishful thinking like this is just as useful as thoughts and prayers.
This is a overhyped technology just like the internet was before the dotcom bubble popped.
The best you can hope for is for the AI bubble to burst and then see what AI is like when it normalises.
Because to think this technology will just go away is going to end the same way as for the people who said the internet is just a temporary fad.
When the dot com bubble bursted, the typical internet speed was 56k modem speed and cellular internet practically didn't exist. At that point the internet still needed years of exponential technological advancement to allow for stuff like streaming amd mobile services. The difference with the AI bubble is that they try to brute force their way out of infancy by throwing ludicrous amounts of money, energy and other recources at it instead of waiting for the much needed technological progress

Millions and Millions $$$ in hardware, all in light structures, in rural areas without much police presence you say?
Interesting.
First time I ever hoped for a tornado to strike a specific location.
Why wait for a tornado, be the tornado the people needs

Come ooooooon hurricane season. You have the chance to do the funniest thing
10's of millions of dollars in rural areas , I wonder how they protect all that from large groups of angry people...
By relying on most people being law abiding citizens who only act like badass rebels online.
right like hardware is extremely vulnerable to fires lmao
its a good thing there isnt a cost of living crisis or people might think all that copper was valuble
Help me understand again how there isn’t enough wealth in this world to give everyone healthcare, shelter, and enough food not to starve?
We are providing housing camps for AI infrastructure, and AI is nothing more than an idea. Meanwhile the suffering of all life on the planet just goes on because a few monkeys just decided this is the way?
Homeless don't earn the tech overlords money and they keep the general populace knowing where they could be. It's bullshit that we give these cunts rope rather than just hanging them ourselves.
The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep 'em showin' up at those jobs.

jet engines
AI
How to burn endless amounts of fuel in order to make more noise than sense 😁
Mad Max? More like the opening scenes to Bladerunner 2049.
I watched the Mad Max movies. This looks absolutely not like anything in them.

Let the homeless move in and use the hardware as they see fit. They deserve dignity and epic LAN parties
Those servers have better housing than the ICE kidnapping victims
Has there been an environmental study in these makeshift camps? If these were homeless, we’d placate drug use, bulldoze them to vacate the camps. What. The. Fuck.

Uses jet engines for power?
Welp. Guess we know what happened to the old Spirit Airlines fleet.

Zuckerberg FOMO, at his finest.
Even among tech bros, it really is amazing how insecure he is.
Because he stole every idea and did so by stepping on many many toes.
Are these just industrial chicken coops?
You know, this kind of thing:

Like homeless camps but for servers.
Say, uh... how many people are guarding that hardware?
These fitted with machine guns bet you anything
The author has clearly never seen Mad Max.
Yeah, this seems more like what you see on the outskirts of Night City in Cyberpunk 2077; Mad Max people live in caves or rusted scrap structures and don't even have computers aside from really smart dwarves.
How is this like Mad Max?
They rolled poorly on their "x thing in real life is like y dystopian art piece" dice

Rally around me my tweakers, for we shall grab all the copper and gold this day.
OVH started putting up data centers made with wood and cheap materials in Europe. They had a major fire at one of them.
Half assed designs have their own issues.
Oh yeah... This feels like a super sustainable industry

Release the meth heads on that copper
Drones ! ,we need drones ,lots of drones ,NOW
A lot of this is because they don't need as many permits for "temporary" structures.
