Millions and Millions $$$ in hardware, all in light structures, in rural areas without much police presence you say?
Interesting.
First time I ever hoped for a tornado to strike a specific location.
Hmmmm
Rocket artillery is surprisingly easy to make at home, if you have enough potassium nitrate and PVC pipe

That amount of millions can feed the crackheads for generations.
Gamers need to start paying bounties for found GTX or DDR5 sticks.

Help me understand again how there isn’t enough wealth in this world to give everyone healthcare, shelter, and enough food not to starve?
We are providing housing camps for AI infrastructure, and AI is nothing more than an idea. Meanwhile the suffering of all life on the planet just goes on because a few monkeys just decided this is the way?
Homeless don't earn the tech overlords money and they keep the general populace knowing where they could be. It's bullshit that we give these cunts rope rather than just hanging them ourselves.
The upper class keeps all of the money, pays none of the taxes. The middle class pays all of the taxes, does all of the work. The poor are there just to scare the shit out of the middle class. Keep 'em showin' up at those jobs.

Uses jet engines for power?
Welp. Guess we know what happened to the old Spirit Airlines fleet.
This is fairly common I think. In Belgium it's one of the back-up plans in case of power shortage. (article)
Not very common. Those engines are 50 years old and are only powered up a few times per year to stabilize the power grid as they can quickly scale up and down in contrast to nuclear, wind and solar.
Most countries do not use them as they are only about 30% efficient and loud. A modern gas power plant can reach double that efficiency.

I wonder if they're flammable or inflammable?
They are self igniting :)
Either way, I bet they are "cut-able" and have lots of expensive metals inside
Those servers have better housing than the ICE kidnapping victims
Zuckerberg FOMO, at his finest.
Even among tech bros, it really is amazing how insecure he is.

How to burn endless amounts of fuel in order to make more noise than sense 😁
As if they expect the servers to be obsolete long before the fabric roof
Was thinking this too. They probably won't even relocate them as it's more efficient to put in the newest gear in their new facility
Yeah, probably won't even dismantle it, just bulldoze this 10 billion dollars into a pit and bury the lot. Then go spend another 10 billion on a shiny new tent+compute
How is this like Mad Max?
They rolled poorly on their "x thing in real life is like y dystopian art piece" dice
I suppose Mad Max was also about people living with a lack of government oversight, allowing the powerful to do as they please.

Rally around me my tweakers, for we shall grab all the copper and gold this day.
Let the homeless move in and use the hardware as they see fit. They deserve dignity and epic LAN parties
Has there been an environmental study in these makeshift camps? If these were homeless, we’d placate drug use, bulldoze them to vacate the camps. What. The. Fuck.
Come ooooooon hurricane season. You have the chance to do the funniest thing
The author has clearly never seen Mad Max.
Release the meth heads on that copper
I watched the Mad Max movies. This looks absolutely not like anything in them.

A lot of this is because they don't need as many permits for "temporary" structures.
10's of millions of dollars in rural areas , I wonder how they protect all that from large groups of angry people...
Are these just industrial chicken coops?
You know, this kind of thing:
Mad Max? More like the opening scenes to Bladerunner 2049.
God this page is mobile cancer, even with an adblocker
Yup, Tom's is the last of the originals still running (HardOCP, anandtech and sharkyexteme are all gone), but it's absolutely a garbage site now.

where is a tornado when you need one?
Tis the season! 🤞🤞
The following tornado is brought to you by your AI-enhanced human-induced climate crisis – Now also hitting your local AI-datacenters
All funded with Facebook and Instagram and a touch of glasses and oculus.
Things so easy to simply not use and even with this evidence of how shitty they are (nevermind the ability to shift politics) people won't quit.
We are all fucked.

Meta hires enough veterans and enough of their employees are also in the Reserves and National Guard to explain to them exactly why they shouldn't do this.
OVH started putting up data centers made with wood and cheap materials in Europe. They had a major fire at one of them.
Half assed designs have their own issues.
