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
Hmmmm
Rocket artillery is surprisingly easy to make at home, if you have enough potassium nitrate and PVC pipe

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.

Uses jet engines for power?
Welp. Guess we know what happened to the old Spirit Airlines fleet.
This is fairly common I think. In Belgium it's one of the back-up plans in case of power shortage. (article)

I wonder if they're flammable or inflammable?
They are self igniting :)
Either way, I bet they are "cut-able" and have lots of expensive metals inside
Zuckerberg FOMO, at his finest.
Even among tech bros, it really is amazing how insecure he is.

Those servers have better housing than the ICE kidnapping victims
jet engines
AI
How to burn endless amounts of fuel in order to make more noise than sense 😁
As if they expect the servers to be obsolete long before the fabric roof

How is this like Mad Max?
They rolled poorly on their "x thing in real life is like y dystopian art piece" dice
I suppose Mad Max was also about people living with a lack of government oversight, allowing the powerful to do as they please.

Rally around me my tweakers, for we shall grab all the copper and gold this day.
Let the homeless move in and use the hardware as they see fit. They deserve dignity and epic LAN parties
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.

Oh yeah... This feels like a super sustainable industry
/S
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.
Come ooooooon hurricane season. You have the chance to do the funniest thing
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.
Release the meth heads on that copper
I watched the Mad Max movies. This looks absolutely not like anything in them.

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.

talk about soft targets.
A lot of this is because they don't need as many permits for "temporary" structures.
Are these just industrial chicken coops?
You know, this kind of thing:
