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

Copper theft has always followed expensive infrastructure. AI data centers are just the newest high-value targets.

Sloppy investigative work, really. Did they ever even stop to consider the possibility that the trailer simply just did that?

I'm just imagining the trailer deploying legs after getting conscious: "Alright, that's it. I'm out of here..."
