Fuck AI

A year or 2 ago, some assholes were shooting substation in the hopes of causing major damage. Im sure data centers got a smaller version of this

Those 5 green blocks are radiators. One of those assholes shot and damage a few of the radiators at a critical substation. It caused power loss to about 7k people including schools and a hospital. The news story said they had to truck in temp substations until they got the new parts to repair. ETA was 6 months to a year.

Sorry, kinda went on a tangent. Good luck with your AI recipe that uses 5 gallons of salt or whatever.

Genuine question: would people be less angry or the same about data centers if all the water used to cool them was taken from the ocean and desalinated?

The guy selling his shit to companies to build the data center is the big money winner. Those things have huge amounts of copper.

I offer instead:

One glassy gassy boi!

I think OP has a $20 bucket of salt and is farming ideas for how to use it to destroy his local datacenter.

Im confused, what will salt do. My brain basically autocorrected it to suger cause you can put it in concrete and it will ruin it but what does salt do?

I imagine pouring salt in the water tanks for their cooling systems. It'll make a giant expensive mess and potentially could shut down the datacenter for a while for repairs

My views of eco terrorism are mostly from reading Zodiac : an ecothriller. The protagonist uses quick acting cement to plug polluting sewage pipes and back up the toxic waste into the polluting facilities.

This could be done in the opposite direction as well. Plug the incoming water pipe to starve the beast pulling hundreds of thousand of liters of water.

I'm confuse

The trick is replacing the salt in the bucket with plastic explosive.

$20 bucket of salt? That's way too much for salt. Who's your salt guy?

This is just like the Romans.

Salting the earth so that data centers cannot grow.

Good thinking.

Hmm..idk anything abt this but maybe the salt!

Are datacenters like slugs or buckets of salt in any way like computers or what am I missing here

I'd think the data center would win

If the point is to put the salt in the water to corrode its cooling systems, you need way more than $20 bucket of salt. Far more water is used
