Aren't these data centers built on our land, right next to our homes, using our water and electricity, funded by selling our data (that we didn't consent to), and the profits all go to giant corporations, not us? Fuck 'em. I hope they all get raided and stripped bare...

That's the problem with making RAM so expensive. It's not physically very big so you can fit a lot of it in a truck

If you see someone stealing RAM, no you didn't

Okay, so tech companies steal your info when you login, they can pluck software off your devices whenever they choose, AI will steal your face and your art should anyone put it online, oh and they get corporate welfare?... Anyone stealing from them, shooting CEOs, cutting down flock cameras, or shooting at Trump seems like the good guys in comparison.

Never thought I'd say this, but good.

[–] kerrigan778@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago

You never thought you'd say "good"? Damn you have a bleak worldview.

Oh my god, that's terrible! Where are these construction sites so that people can avoid them?

We'll be buying ram from guys in trenchcoats soon. Looking forward to that.

While the AI revolution threatens to kill countless jobs, leaving potentially millions of Americans in the lurch, maybe all those future jobless Americans can turn to the booming data center theft industry. Maybe AI is a job creator?

Ah yes, my retirement plan from the tech sector…

The perpetrators were with me at the time of the robbery playing video games.
