Investigators recovered two stolen trailers carrying $1.3 million in data center supplies, including copper wire and infrastructure equipment.
Be a modern day Robin Hood; steal copper from an AI data center
The perpetrators were with me at the time of the robbery playing video games.
Can’t steal from thieves
Never thought I’d say this, but good.
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…
I just heard of next 3 fast and the furious movies
Aren’t these data centers build 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…
And if you plant some bamboo on the property, it REALLY becomes a problem for the data centers.
Nah, plant a protected species.
Kudzu friends, nothing can stop that in time
Again, not a protected species, also, don’t fucking plant kudzu.
Plant a state and federally environmentally protected species, native to the area. Plant a bunch of them and then report the plants to local protective agencies and environmentalist groups. Do your best to hide the fact that these are transplanted plants.
Plant kudzu and all you’re doing is annoying the construction company, forcing them to pave over everything.
Do you believe we should be allowed to run open source / weight LLMs like deepseek locally, for our own gain, even though they too have been indirectly trained on our comments / articles / copyrighted books?
Is that a genuine question that you want to know the answer for, or is it a setup for calling the person you replied to a hypocrit when they say “yes”?
I’m honestly curious. I generally agree with everything you said except the IP argument.
spoiler
I see a conflict between the argument that training LLMs on publicly visible comments (or books or articles) is stealing, and open weight LLM models. If intellectual property is interpreted like that, it will make free LLMs illegal to use, since the original creators of the training data have not licensed this use (even though this data is publicly readable on websites).
I would consider it the worst possible outcome if only the AI corporations would be able to profit from the global treasure of our accumulated knowledge. And I suspect that is what is going to happen because they can lobby for some kind of broad licensing deal and pay them off, but for open source it will not work. I believe that is how they will monopolize AI. Then they will truly have stolen it, because they have taken it away from everybody else.
Of course. The cat’s already out of the bag on that one. That data belongs to the public, not a handful of companies.
So is the future going to be more mad max like but instead of oil it would be it equipment?
They sure the LLM didn’t just mis-count the inventory?
There are three As in “Strawberry”. Let’s count.

and there you have it.
I want to rob a data center, I’ve been looking for work and I’ve been unemployed for months
Pick me up some GPUs and RAM while you’re in there. I’ll give you the normal market prices.
If you see someone stealing RAM, no you didn’t
As long as they share
Snitches get switches?
only Cisco switches.
How much RAM is that? Anyone got the numbers?
What’s gonna be looted next, Flock cameras?!
We can hope
The comment I came in to make sure existed. Thank you for doing the good work.
Good.
