    Red Oblast issues. WTF, either those sites do not have security or poverty wage security watching the equipment.

    Don’t tell them there’s copper and other precious metals they can steal in AI datacenters. Also, most definitely DO NOT tell them most AI datacenters are completely unstaffed and easily accessible.

      Copper by weight is cheap as hell. RAM & NVME drives are a WAY better ROI. It wouldn’t even be worth carrying the whole server.

          AI startups are all so desperate for memory and GPUs that I wouldn’t be surprised if a few of them were willing to buy shit that, uh, fell off the back of a truck.

        Copper is way easier to fence and way easier to steal. The RAM and NVME aren’t getting installed until the building has functional security. The mile of copper wire to run power is locked in a trailer and might not even have a permanent fence around it yet.

      Bro, watch/read Catch Me if You Can. Frank Abagnale is one of my heroes, like Joseph Smith is, and for the sane reason Christ is our lord. The audacity of a man in reflective vest, hardhat, with ladder and/or clipboard to walk confidently into a building to waltz up to the seventeenth floor to steal state secrets? Well, I’ve only done that four times, so it’s not like I’m an expert or anything.

        My dad tells a story about an indicent in the 1980’s, I think, where a couple of gentlemen went to Governer’s Island and stole an 8ft diameter bronze screw. (Ship propeller)

        I don’t think they had vests, but they most likely just drove up with a flatbed like they had every right to be there. Probably even asked for help loading it.

          Yea, it’s the confidence that those gentlemen were artists at.

          Confidence arts

          Con arts

          That’s why it’s called that

    Young entrepreneurs just pulling at those little bootstraps, Regan would be proud of their ambition in advancing their station.

      Regan sounds like some sort of sect of veganism. They refrain from consuming animal products unless the animal signed a consent form, which is prolly what’s coming with Neuralink. People can’t handle same sex marriage, so what happens when animals consent? I’m not even a furry, I’m a foot fetishist, but ethical bestiality is coming in the next generation, I would say. And damn is Fox News going to implode!

              It’s two weeks, silly. That’s how you con an entire country. You just keep the people living paycheck to paycheck thinking it’s all going to change if they just work hard enough to push through this next bit. That’s what’s keeping the machine working, where y’all are cogs n gears n shit

    I’ve read science fiction books in which humans scavenged the machines’ supplies like rodents scavenging from a kitchen, and now it’s reality.
