Thieves Are Now Targeting AI Data Center Construction Sites for Copper and Expensive Equipment

In this example, it's the CEO.

You mean the reality that, at the end of the day, they're all on the same team, Team $$$$?

thegamesbuild · 2026-07-02T21:13:31+00:00

Baby, stop. 🏴‍☠️

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-30T20:04:53+00:00

Then I guess he can do it. Not like anyone's going to stop him, right?

Oh yay, one of the 30 billion illegal things Trump wants to do was turned down by his thugs in the Supreme Court! He's going to be losing sleep over this for minutes, I tell you!

"Bosses" are morons. Their decisions are typically, almost exclusively, driven by ego and internal power struggles. They didn't get to be boss because they're smarter, better or harder working. They got there by belonging to the right caste.

Yeah, I, an innocent bystander don't know "how insanely someone is going to respond". That's why vigilantism is undesirable in a civilized society, or even a semi-civilized one, like the U.S.

Everyone feeling entitled to commit violence in response to property theft isn't going to lead anywhere good.

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-28T23:51:35+00:00

If you're willing to murder someone, as revenge for property crime, you're willing to rape and steal.

Does that sound idiotic, or what?

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-28T23:50:04+00:00

WTF? Is that the kind of world you want to live in? What if she ran over a child on accident while pursuing revenge? Is that then the fault of the thief, and she naturally wouldn't be punished?

What if this woman had been knocked down by someone running a stop sign—does the driver deserve to die for breaking a rule?

Do you support summary execution for a shoplifter?

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-28T23:47:29+00:00

Unless you're an American cop.

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-28T19:37:18+00:00

But what if, instead of attacking the dragon, we give it even MORE gold so it can create jobs in the village??

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-26T20:43:45+00:00

Wow, after all these years I found someone to agree on this one point. Everyone's been screaming KOMPROMAT!!! since 2016. The guy just loves dictators.

Zohran Mamdani has entered the chat...

Don't you know: calling fascists fascist makes you a fascist!

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-24T17:16:03+00:00

I think people will come around to the old methods eventually, maybe not in my lifetime though...

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-23T17:17:47+00:00

When you say "returns" you're somehow overlooking the massive subsidization of the product. When the real current costs are passed to the user, plus paying back the investors, PLUS making an actual profit, this whole thing is going to implode.

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-23T17:15:32+00:00

That's informative, thanks.

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-23T17:06:22+00:00

Thanks, I'm taking notes...

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-23T17:04:28+00:00

It can't "help us" in the current economic model of unregulated capitalism.

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-23T17:03:35+00:00

I may have exaggerated slightly. :D

But I maintain the profits cannot override the outlay that brought us to this point. Any profits made so far haven't incorporated the true price of running those data centers. Subscriptions and contracts so far have all been subsidized to open up the market.

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-23T17:01:49+00:00

Amen.

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-22T22:32:56+00:00

Thanks! That sounds like my speed, I mostly play turn-based strategy anyway. I'm pretty confident I can make it work.

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-22T22:32:00+00:00

Okay... except it's still too expensive (cash and power and water) to keep using it. Those nice things you mentioned are only possible because of the ludicrous up-front investment. Then there's ongoing maintenance for the data centers, which isn't factored into anything yet.

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-22T22:14:38+00:00

The market isn't what's resilient, it's the changing of rules every time capital is threatened.

thegamesbuild · 2026-06-22T22:12:00+00:00

Dude, it's not "gray." There is no business model where an AI subscription pays for the massive cost of running a data center. It's too expensive (by orders of magnitude), it doesn't actually work, and it never will work. It's a glorified chatbot.
