What’s more is they use HBM RAM, which is very complicated to build and has a much lower yield than the much-cheaper-to-make consumer ram.
So, not only are they dedicating all of their resources to billionaire assholes with fantasies of mind control over the masses, but they’re also wasting much more materials and energy to make this stupid ram.
It’s almost like it’s not a black and white issue, and there’s a whole lot of in between…that’s clearly not your game however. Looking forward to the next Gotcha™ from you tho. See ya later.
You should target their internet connection. Fiber cables are easier to damage and harder to protect. It’s also easier to fix so longer, organized campaign would be needed but I think it would be possible to avoid capture for longer.
No but anyone with a a cheap vintage military rifle with 2000 yard/meter iron sights could reek havoc by lobbing a few bullets at a data center like a mortar from extreme range. Probable wouldn’t do any critical damage but eventually someone would realize that those loud cracks are bullets and they would have to evacuate every time, forensic teams would have to come in a scour the entire place for bullet fragments and impacts. It would be a massive expensive pain in the ass. The security and insurance cost would be insane. That might put some cold water on the market.
They would have to start building these things inside the restricted Nevada test range if enough people took up this new hobby.
You remember a few years ago when some random town in North Carolina made the national news because some Proud Boys shot out the substation because there was a drag show at a local downtown theater?
I’m from there.
What I learned in those four days without refrigeration or air conditioning is that substations aren’t bulletproof.
Yep, I’m from NC too. When shit gets real it’s going to be normal to not have water, power, cellphones and internet because we sold all of our critical infrastructure to parasites who extort us but won’t spend a dime on redundancy. People really underestimate how quickly and easily this country could be shut down when the critical boiling point is reached.
…What forces defend these datacenters? Could a platoon of motivated civilians armed with pump action shotguns carry all the RAM out of one?
They use a different kind of RAM.
It’s the capacity to make RAM and the materials required to make RAM that is going to datacenters.
I probably got an adapter lying around somewhere

This you? :P
Yes? Check out my posts too, lots of ai.
Do you have a point besides being a creep?
So you’re mad about computers being built to run LLMs but you use them constantly? That makes no sense.
Because we live in a binary world with nothing other than absolute polarity.
I hate LLM, i also use LLM.
How can it be true?! The hypocrisy!
and yet you live in a society!

So we should just straight-up vandalize them? As much property damage as possible, forget the shotguns, bring bulldozers, gasoline and road flares?
Lemmy.world runs from a data center, and virtually all other instances
Oh no!
So we would not be able to have this conversation unless something more decentralized appears
It is my understanding that sh.itjust.works is hosted on hardware that is in The_Dude’s physical possession, so I think we could manage.
Except you would have only your server to talk with
Anyway…

Whose this “you” you refer to? XD
You. When you said “we should” that does kinda imply you’re willing to engage in this as well :P
Now let’s be clear here: I’m only inciting violence. My person committing violence may or may not occur, your honor/ladies and gentlemen of the jury.
The same as your “we”. I assume you have some group ready to go.
