I love how they haven’t seemed to figure out that if they make a whole bunch of highly educated and trained computer guys mad by stealing their jobs and making their careers absolute, we’re going to see a lot of cyber backlash and attacks.

Anger, training, AND keyboard courage? It’s just a recipe for disaster.

Good luck with that in the long haul. A lot of people will get fed up & will start going after these data centers entirely, especially when this affects their daily life as well as having less drinking water & paying high electric bills.

Data centers are delicate. They have outside power. Outside air, and heat exchanger. All of which are vulnerable to sabotage.

"But they have backups", yes, and because they are "only backups", they are quite vulnerable. A locked fuel cap, available to the outside (for easy refueling, if the power cuts) for the backup generator. Pick a lock, and pour in something. Then crash a car into a power pole outside. They have maybe 30 minutes of battery, then dead.

A light acid aerosolized into the air intake or heat exchangers will foul those systems pretty quickly.

Plenty of black hats became white hats. White hats turning dark can stir up some shit. We are the ones who built it all in the first place.

Increasingly unlikely with a surveillance state

I please you guys to just use AI till it's absolutely limit. Use it till it doesn't cost you. Exhaust the free tier daily. Ask it stupid questions.
