      We really should have educational bumper stickers for passersby to properly inform them of certain facts. In the interest of increased awareness of these and other current events, of course. A civic duty, even. 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Robin Hood figures comparatively - the AI execs stole our data, our resources, and fucked the supply lines on more than we can imagine AND they’re using it to power fascist surveillance apparatuses.

      Anything to hurt the suits in their pockets is a win for the people.

        So I know I’m in several lil online bubbles where most people agree with me, and maybe that’s tainting my perspective, but I’m noticing more and more folks at work and out and about that seem to be completely fucking fed up and getting angrier

        It’s not just about hurting executives. Hindering data center operations is honestly a public service.

    Everyone joked about meth heads, but it was always going to be organized and seni-organized crime.

    If a single semi trailer has over 1 million dollars worth of anything in it, people are going to want it.

    When it’s materials like cable that can’t be tracked and can be easily sold to corrupt contractors…

    A lot of smart people are really going to want it. Those trailers are going to be like tide for organized crime, they won’t even bother converting it into cash, it’ll be used as direct currency.

    Fast and the Furious reboot where instead of boosting dvd players it’s data center equipment.

    To me this feels like the largest thing people have agreed upon in a very long time. I have no solid numbers but it just feels like the opinions have shifted. I saw it happen in real time at my job with my coworkers. There’s still people hyped on AI bs but It feels like people are becoming educated on the pros and cons of AI and when it’s actually useful vs what we’re using it for.

    I’m hoping we can see some positive changes sooner rather than later.
