    Probably me shitting on AI was frowned upon. It was a news article or something something to the tune of ‘data centers for AI are stealing jobs faster than know’ and I said once they’re built, its low maintenance bc all the automation. So AI data centers replace people with AI agents and then automate BACnet to maintain the building. Would be a shame if it caught fire and the building AI was compromised and let burn the regular AI…

    I’m spitballing my answer, but apparently that was a call for someone to somehow set fire to a datacenter or something even though I never said those words. It was poking fun at the Anikin Skywalker meme “you destroyed the very thing you were meant to protect” kind of shit. Or better yet, when Task Manager freezes.

      Oh yeah that makes sense. I’ve backed off several comments about how the data centers are vulnerable because I just know the technofascists are going to be super aggressive going after anyone suggesting anything about data centers blowing up or whatever.

      The farthest I’ve gone is bringing up that in the french revolution the first thing the peasants did when they heard the news was mob their local clerk and burn their records building.

      I am curious if there are any vulnerabilities to them losing data. Figured I’d get violated for asking on reddit.
