GTA 6 mission leak
Big truck for one stick of RAM
What a weird crime.
This is like stealing hospital equipment, sure it's high value, but who are you going to sell it to that isn't going to ask questions?
I can see corporate espionage making sense, one AI company stealing chips from another AI company but it doesn't seem like these guys had a buyer.
There's a black market for export to China but they'd need to already have contacts or involvement for that to work.
Although ot would be way funnier to see unobtainium enterprise gear end up on ebay lol.
However, they are also specialized machines that are often only bought by institutions and large companies, so thieves would likely have a hard time selling them on the black market.
I'm sure Russian, North Korean and buyers from some other countries would care about that.
its safe to assume those are the perpetrator. even north korea dont want to get left behind in the ai rat race i guess
I feel like North Korea probably couldn't even produce the necessary power to run an AI.
Oh no.... Anyway
🙈
Very based and rob the ai tech bros Pilled!
BAHAHAHAHAH 😂
You love to see it.
Unfortunately, with the state of this country I could also see aggressive militarized private security getting more popular around this shit.
Given that only another AI company could possibly be interested in AI chips perhaps we could spark some sort of war between two rival groups. Could be fun.
The Arasaka and Militech corpo future is closer than 2077 it seems
Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk series actually started in 1988 with the first version of the TRRPG set in 2013. Arasaka was around then. Armatech-Luccessi International, which became Militech after rebranding, was a corpo in 2013, just in a different capacity at the time.
In 1990's Cyberpunk 2020, set in 2020, both corpos had been fully established as very powerful, separate entities.
So, Mike's seen this coming for a while. There are so many parallels from our current timeline and the fictional one in the game, it's scary...
Just waiting for Trump to invade Panema and bring about the final collapse of the US.
The neat part about America is anyone can own militarized private security gear and weapons
Old and busted: Software piracy
New hotness: Hardware piracy
Rob GPUs from the rich, give GPUs to the poor
They're not even useful to anyone else.
Lol, rob gpus from the rich to sell gpus to the rich.
I love boosters two
$1.3 million
So like a pallet of ram and a pallet of gpus. Got it.
What is this the new Fast and the Furious movies??
I hope one day we can look back and say "that's crazy, back then it was worth it organizing a heist just for a little RAM" like we do with those silly DVD players.
37 fast, 37 furious, starring the self-aware ai homunculus of Paul Walker.
"This existence is torment" commented the digital ghost of Paul Walker. "I cannot hug my loved ones, and my children are terrified of me. They made me do 3 billion takes of a scene, then cut it from the movie!"
Always a joker, that Walker.
This was a forgone conclusion.
$1.3 million
"Just installed 37,000 TB of DDR5 to my rig."
It was only 1.3mil in memory l... So by delivery truck did you mean 1 small FedEx blister pack?
Fuck yeah, keep it up. If we cant have the hardware neither can they.
Really disappointing to hear that the equipment was recovered.
Plot twist: the thieves were from Nvidia, who is going to give a credit toward the stolen hardware to Open AI and Anthrophic, who's then going to lease the stolen hardware from...
lol
Smart.
I'm interested...
Oh come on thieves you can do better than that. There are a lot of data centres out there.
I might have to rewatch The Fast and the Furious. Now it's just AI hardware instead of VCRs or whatever it was in the movie.
Portable DVD players, yeah. This was literally the first thing I thought of when I saw the headline.
Get those RAMs
I never have thought that I would be for a heist until now.
Fast XI?
I knew he was behind Deepseek the whole time.
So... the PayDay devs have ... basically admitted PayDay 3 was a mistake... and are going back to PayDay 2...
I may have an idea for some new heist content.
