Meta putting up tents across the US to house AI servers, like ‘a scene out of the movie Mad Max’ — structures take three months to build and use jet engines for power (www.tomshardware.com)

These "makeshift" structures are housing hardware that costs millions of dollars in total.

"Putting AI servers inside tents, officially called “rapid deployment structures,” is one of the more unique approaches to the AI build-out, Thomas said. They’re certainly not as sturdy as physical buildings made from steel and concrete, with one commenter comparing it to the “classic $10k racing bike with a $9 lock” situation."

Looking forward to the domestic attacks on these.

Does this somehow get around local building codes?

God this page is mobile cancer, even with an adblocker

Yup, Tom's is the last of the originals still running (HardOCP, anandtech and sharkyexteme are all gone), but it's absolutely a garbage site now.

All funded with Facebook and Instagram and a touch of glasses and oculus.

Things so easy to simply not use and even with this evidence of how shitty they are (nevermind the ability to shift politics) people won't quit.

We are all fucked.

Meta hires enough veterans and enough of their employees are also in the Reserves and National Guard to explain to them exactly why they shouldn't do this.
