    Take out the RAMs and other vital hardware components like GPUs before burning these. AI slop has been a pain and the price increase due to chip shortage is a massive annoyance.

      Its very annoying that im pretty much stuck with the PCs I have right now for the foreseeable future. Very annoying. Not engaging at all.

        Indeed, and prices aren’t gonna come down. Maybe stop increasing in some time if the AI tax gets tamed down.

    Nice! Remember, if you’re anti-AI data centers for environmental reasons, you should also be vegan. Animal agriculture is a much larger plague on the environment.

      Industrial agriculture is bad whether it makes beef or broccoli

      Unfortunately we need it to feed us all. Regenerative agriculture (which builds soil) is much better and requires stock animals

    At first read I thought the article was talking about a university research lab. Had to click the CBC link to find out it’s building of an actual “AI company.”

        In this economy, we can’t afford to just burn perfectly good RAM. Angry mobs should always remember to pillage first, then burn.

    We don’t want them, and we elected officials to block them. If our elected officials ignore us, and accept the bribes to build them despite what we want, then we are perfectly within our rights as citizens to burn them to the ground.

    We don’t want them, and they’d better listen to us. They won’t get burned down everywhere, but there is a non-zero number that absolutely will get burned down. If enough of them burn down, they won’t want to take a chance on investing in them.

    The article says it seems to have been an organized group. I wonder how one gets into such a group?

    Like, do they just send somebody a private message on a decentralized platform with a link to some sort of encrypted messaging app or something?

    Unrelated, my inbox is open to anyone wanting to just say hi!

    No I am not kidding.

    I can’t help but wonder if these companies didn’t arrange this alleged attack themselves. Just another way to get attention and thus more investors to fleece.
