Is there a vote system? I'd like to vote on the next target. Looking at you, Big Tech^[Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta (Facebook), Microsoft, and Nvidia]. 👀
Anyone else a little surprised by the realization that if an enemy took out all datacenters it would actually improve a lot of things and take us back 20 years to the golden age of the internet?
Surprised? No. But that's a lovely thought since most data centers have a net-negative value to people.
The coordinated strike had an immediate impact. Millions of people in Dubai and Abu Dhabi woke up on Monday unable to pay for a taxi, order a food delivery or check their bank balance on their mobile apps.
I honestly can't tell if this paragraph is supposed to be satirical.
Welcome to the present old man.
Kill data centers not people
Will nobody think of the poor GPUs?
I don't see why not. Israel attacked oil infrastructure, showing this was as much an economic war as anything else.
Shocked its taken this long.
Residents report following the strike seeing an improvement in water pressure, quality, and oddly - less brownouts.
Maybe someone will start a bounty program to damage these datacenters? That would be awful! Honestly, scouts honor.
Ok, who we have to fund to get those data center burning?
It's wild. Most people don't want these in their cities, which is why most people don't even know they are being installed.
Like, fuck these goddamn corpos fucking up our bills so they can make even more money. Fuck data centers.
Bounty system?
Who would have thought that all these shiny toys would be so reachable. The rich have parroted this shit and acted untouchable. Its nice to see their infrastructure getting a smack. It like boasting about a fancy watch then walking down the street and getting robbed by a junkie. Tale as old as time.
The innocents in all these countries, and the environments are the ones that suffer the consequence, but what will get noticed is that war hurts production and consumer behavior. Oil scarcity stops people going places, stops stuff hitting the shelves, even the simple mortals like us knew this but the warmongers at the top want to play.
Even without considering the military use of an AI, that's a lot of expensive and fragile equipment packed into a relatively small building.
It's also pretty important infrastructure. Even before AI, one of the major providers datacentres going down would take out a solid chunk of modern internet.
Nothing would make billionaires change their tune about buddying up to this authoritarian regime faster than his actions leading to loss of profits
Imagine if Iran took out crucial infrastructure for AWS

Oh no! us-east-1 is down again!?
Not even terrorism would get companies off of us-east-1 or building availability zone redundant apps
I used to be corporate IT, and this would have ruined my weekend.... but my CEO donated to McConnell, Trump and the RNC, so fuck them.
Damn I better check my contracts and see if they have any war or terrorism clauses 😅
Iran is playing the game much better than expected. Come on Bezos, if anyone can afford a team of ninja assassins to take out the guy who started this war, you can!

Fuck their wives, drink their blood
Come on, Jeff, get 'em
Where is Bo when the world needs him most
Still inside I guess.
zuckerberg, gates, and buffet, amateurs can fucking suck it
That's one way to conserve water.
Ya! hit those clankers where it hurts!
I can't believe I had to scroll this far down for this...
Like, the data centers. The fucking reason my power bill doubled this year? The ones propping up LLM's that are actively stealing jobs from humans?
They want to attack those?
Okay. Is there a downside to this?
Great I know a few more targets
I wouldn't have thought that we might see something like Neuromancers operation "Screaming Fist" in next couple of years...
Now that's a name I've not heard in a long time.
Guess war of the world was a prophecy! We owe ice cube an apology :D
I see Amazon repurposing its delivery drones, or entering the same-day-air-defence-delivery (which would be splendid for Ukraine, too).
Make dual purpose drones. When they aren’t delivering packages they’re delivering explosives. Problemo solved-o.
CEOs jump in the war, pissed at loss of infrastructure.
They're yatchs start getting hit too.
Would love to see pics of burned yacht's.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
