NOOOOOOOOOOO I NEEEEED AI BECKY AND UNREALISTIC PET INTERACTION VIDEOS!!!!
DON'T DO IT YOU MONSTERS!!!!
Please do it
YES! FUCK 'EM UP!!
I love how they’re using trumps verbiage against him
Stop talking and do it then. FAFO.
They'll do it Tuesday. You mean like that kind of "stop talking"?
I'm guessing they're gonna do it if the US attacks their infrastructure further. They're using the threat as leverage.
yea, my gut reaction was to wonder why they're telegraphing it, but obviously it's wiser to keep it as leverage
Can't wait to see it blow up though
Seeing how unhinged Trump is and that he's continued to escalate, I do think it's more likely than not Iran will blow it up eventually.
I see this as a win for humanity.
first thing pop into my mind as well. lol
Oh no! Anyway...
The Butlerian Jihad is here.
We dare you. We double dog dare you.
Honestly... why the fuck am I sitting here in the US rooting for Iran.
Oh yeah... because "Trump".
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
But when you dig into the history of the US in the 20th and 21st centuries, you start to notice this isn’t just a “Trump” thing. Outside of WW1 and WW2 (though the US had spurious reasons for joining WW1), the US has been the bad guys in every other instance.
The US is the imperialist hegemon, Trump has just been more open about it.
Trump has also been more corrupt and stupid about it. He's not being honest about it, he's being flagrant about being a tool of the giant corporations.
Also more open about just drifting the fuck out of his followers. He sold them a $2 bill for $100. He also pump and dumped not one ... but TWO crypto coins.
In WW1 pretty much everyone was bad guys.
I don’t disagree, I just happen to find the theory that the US really only entered the war not because of high ideals but because if France and the UK lost, then the US would be left holding the bag as they defaulted on their loans, to be very plausible.
There is always a bright side.
It's a war crime, but nothing of relevance will be lost, i say go for it.
No it isn’t. These American tech companies made the mistake of taking contracts from the US military, and are legitimate targets.
Really? Civilian contractors are legitimate targets? How interesting.
I'm not saying murican Big Tech is innocent, but no, i don't think they're legitimate targets as per internationally perceived rules of engagement (yet).
Oh look, a believer in the "international rules-based order". I thought you were extinct! Glory be, maybe I'll see a moa yet!
Get real. Allied forces bombed factories all throughout WW2 and the US nuked civilian targets in Japan.
The idea that wars have laws and rules is hilarious, because US has broken all of them with no consequences in 80 years.
Even Obama drone striked entire villages, cowardice is what the US military does best.
Uh oh.... Citizen... Bad Thought detected! Prepare to be bathed in soothing Correct Think Neuroactive Rays within minutes! It's Raytheon's (light from god, get it?) latest marvel!!
They are literally using these data centers for target selection and surveillance. How is that not a war machine? By your logic nothing the US military uses is a legitimate target because they don’t actually own the tanks and planes and missiles, they contract that all out to Blackwater and Lockheed etc.
Their argument is that the big tech companies are allowing their AI to be used to help target Iran (which they obviously are). This would arguably make the data centers powering the AI a legitimate military target
You can argue that because it's right.
The Allies bombed the shit out of Krups.
This is why you don't start wars of choice, because it wastes your blood and treasure.
In this case there's very few people inside and a whole lot of imperialist money tied up making a technology that people hate.
Iran understands the average American better than the Trump admin. Unfortunately the US government only listens to rural voters and people from Pennsylvania.
Using it to target CIVILIAN infrastructure like that school and probably other things.
It’s a war crime
like bombing schools?
Not as bad, especially considering Iran is warning they'll be targeting those facilities, giving cilivians ample time to bail out.
For a hot minute i thought you were saying bombing schools isnt as bad as bombing a data centre.
If this wasn't so tragically real, it would be almost fun to see these grown ass super serious people on both sides sound like they are cutting a promo for a wrasslin' match.
They don't destroy and murder. No, they devastate, they bring back to the stone age, they utterly annihilate. Is this a performance? Or is the whole world now in the hands of complete idiots?
Iron Sheik (RIP) vs. Sgt. Slaughter 2026
If they bomb enough datacenters we might get consistemt weather again.
Absolute coward shit that the very first thing you feel the need to do is denounce Iran given everything that's going on
have you thought that maybe both sides are bad actually?
Just because the US and Israel have decided to be an axis of evil doesn't mean that the Iranian government is all of the sudden good guys.
The Iranian people are victims and all of this. They did try democracy and we bombed them for it. Their government is not run by good people and that is also our fault.
Abstract moralism is the luxury of those shielded by imperialism. To condemn Iran in a vacuum like you do, is liberal idealism. The material reality is a state under constant siege by U.S. capital and its Zionist proxy.
While the Islamic Republic is problematic, its resistance objectively fractures imperialist hegemony. Orthodox Marxists offer critical support: we defend Iran's sovereignty against sanctions and regime change as a blow against the imperial core, while maintaining political independence from their theocratic policies. We can walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.
To ignore the principal contradiction (Imperialism vs. Oppressed Nation) is social-imperialism.
Except for the environment and also everyone wanting cheap GPUs and SSDs.
Pretty sure that making the AI profits fall will be very good for hardware.
They have no significant profits anyway, but the loss of hardware will result in increase in supplier orders.
In what way are data centers GOOD for the environment?
I have not said that. All I'm saying is that destroying high end hardware is bad for the environment, because it will lead to more manufacturing. It is wasteful. Instead cut their power or something.
I feel like those are criticisms that should be leveled at the people who built the thing specifically designed to exterminate life on the planet by heating it up as fast as is physically possible with current technology.
If a machine is destroying life, it would be nice to be able to reuse bits for farming or something but just stopping the extinction is sufficient.
Execute all executives.
Lmao imagine thinking blowing up a data center is bad for the environment. Sooner it’s gone the better.
Making all that hardware is bad for the environment and blowing it up will simply require more wasteful manufacturing and will put even more pressure the prices.
They might decide the risk is too high and stop building. Not that they make rational decisions enough for us to know for sure but I think that's the hope.
I sure hope so they stop. I'm just worried they will make some dumb decisions based on their own slop machine output.
Yeah, because once it’s made, it stops having any negative impact on the environment /s
Of course not. Are you being absurd for a specific reason? Both production and use are bad, won't you agree?
Don't worry, the strait will remain closed for months, so you won't have to worry about production.
lol do it
Plz do it
Oh no. How terrible.
Let'r rip. What a timeline to be in where I'm cheering for this.
Do it. Save the planet.
Even a decade ago the statement would have been complete lunacy.
You should’ve said to triple dog dare em.
Can we crowd fund this to make sure it happens?
We need them to put the hexbear logo on one of the bombs
It would be like the single most popular thing the Iran could do at this point.
Someone start a petition to deliver to Iran
Maybe we can start a GoFundMe, something like "Help me get my life back in order by destroying an OpenAI datacenter"
LINE GO DOWN LET'S GO
Why are they calling it Stargate? Is it supposed to have some space application?
Anyway good luck Iran. Maybe this is the exit strategy all along for the AI bubble. “Well, we can’t do the AI anymore because Iran bombed all our data centers. Sorry folks, everyone can go home now. We would have done the AI that totally worked the way we totally said it did, and it would have been awesome, but Iran ruined it for all of us. Let us never speak of this again.”
Maybe this is the exit strategy all along for the AI bubble.
Either that or it's the trigger that gets Trump to bail out the industry. "We need this to win the war" is the new "to big to fail."
I hope you're right though
Oh no, you couldn't possibly take out all of the AI data centers. That would be so awful for the shareholders.
Noo, you're going to hurt so many people. Like 10 or so people will be so sad. :((
Iran popping the AI bubble via force was not on my bingo card but I can dig it
Just kick the stock market over like a sand castle
I would hoot and holler. Absolute hoot and holler.
I sure won't lose any sleep. In fact, I might sleep a bit better.
Would love to see it happen.
do it! do it! do it!!!
Mark Tyson weeps for fascist lives, but spares not a tear for Iranian civilians, including primary school children.
Seems a poor strategy to announce your targets before you strike them...
Unlike a certain "country" nearby that does so without warning, and then a second time to take out the rescue groups trying to save children as well
Iran has frequently announced targets and given warnings to evacuate. It's been surreal that they've continued to sound like the adults after years of being told how evil they are. The US is indiscriminately bombing everything, while Iran seems to be playing the long game of building an international case for reparations and prosecution.
That's cause they don't actually want to strike them. They will if they have to, but their goal is to prevent the US from hitting their civilian infrastructure by telling them what they'll hit in retaliation.
And the data centers are only step 1.
Iran could kill the Gulf States entirely by hitting the desalination plants.
On the other hand, if my workplace was on a list of announced missile targets, I'd stay away.
Assuming that there's no real chance of their enemy setting up a defense in time:
- It reduces probability of civilian causalities (improves their international image, reduces incentives for affected people to join the fight against them)
- If there is some failure in the attack and the center isn't disabled, they still reduced productivity. I'd say indefinitely
- Tactic could theoretically be used to threaten or feint. For example, publicly list five target but only bother bombing three, and you get the benefits of scaring away people at the other two without spending weapons. This could also be used to manipulate enemy logistics, like moving their defenses or response teams to one place and then attacking another.
I mean what are they gonna do, move the data center out of strike range?
They could position missile/drone interceptors in preparation.
you clearly have not been up to date with this war, because they weren't able to intercept shit, besides, do you think they're going to move air defense away from nazisrael to protect data centers? or desalinization plants? or oil rigs? you can barely protect 1 of these targets, let alone all at the same time...
Iran has already demonstrated that the US has pretty much zero ability to intercept their missiles. An interview with an expert on the subject if you're interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN1cp0dYTDc
Those don't seem to be working as well as Israel and the US hoped.
Maybe the goal is to waste interceptors on a shitty data center thats going to get blown up anyway because the interceptors dont work
Or to distract the interceptor response
Can you fucking imagine if Bezos or Altman are bribing Israel to prioritise their data centres over human life (I await the articles from military leakers)
Which would leave other targets open to attack since we don't have enough counter drone stuff to defend everything. We're playing chess here not checkers.
Well you don't want civilians there.
It isn't when you have complete tactical superiority and you want to intimidate your opppnents
