"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Y'all are reading into this inversely.

This just means all acts of vandalism are going to be classified as terrorist acts, which means you go to big boy disappear forever jail for fucking with them.

It isn't the gotcha you think it is.

They're going to fuck the taxpayers over (us) for any damage that happens to them, and whoever is caught messing with them is going to get fucking disappeared after being made a big fat example of.

These are the times when you absolutely have to read between the lines.

Can't make an example out of an invisible, unidentified person who is overseas.

You might be right, but you also might be thinking this too literally.

Insurance is pretty archaic in how things are tracked. Some specific types of coverage in the industry is tracked via buckets (makes it easier to communicate between the plethora of companies involved in a single policy). The buckets are broad though, and are there simply to track exceptions in coverage. It doesn't necessarily mean "the government said you were a victim of terrorism so we won't cover it". It more likely means "for the purposes of your coverage any act of vandalism is not covered, and we are tracking it via the terrorism coverage bucket". Why? Because they think there is a high enough likelihood of people doing just that, and they don't want to accept the risk.

There are buckets for wind damage, earthquakes, etc. basically anything that falls outside of some mundane event like an employee tripped and spilled and their coffee on a server. Anything that can be traced back to a larger "event" or "act of God".

I feel like I've been given a quest. I'm a coward and it's probably gonna sit on the list forever, but it's there now.

It's shocking that there hasn't been more vandalism, or "terrorists" attacks.

Especially since there are so many data centers in rural Texas, where everybody and their dog owns a 300 blackout for hog hunting.

Getting kinda conspiracy theory-ish, but I wonder if there has been a lot of vandalism, but it just hasn't been reported on and kept hush-hush

Not sure about the "a lot" part but there's definitely been silenced or downplayed by the media.

Those suckers are built like a fortress, although Bubba probably knows a guy with a wrecking ball.

[–] adarza@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 day ago

not all of them. zuck's using tents in ohio to build them faster. giant tents larger than some walmart supercenters.

Thermite isn't exactly hard to make, and it does a marvelous job at melting anything capable of melting.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You have no concept of scale.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You don't need to melt the whole building to put it partially out of action

[–] Coldcell@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

if your focused weak spot requires thermite to break, there are probably better weak spots.

[–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

Or better materials to use. But I was just replying in the context of the conversation

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So grab a plane, thermite and then go for a short flight. If suddenly the air gets bumby, accidently having us drop the thermite bomb above the DCs. Would that then be involuntairy vandalism?

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago

Or just use a drone, way cheaper

[–] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I mean how much damage could one person coveivably do to such large structures?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 18 hours ago

an average person or someone with a latent talent for destruction?

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

They’re probably of the same stock that used to take potshots at power stations. Might as well get with the times.

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

right. used to.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 17 points 1 day ago
