    Clickbait circlejerk slop. Every construction site is a target for thieves, this low effort clickbait has 0 substance and exists to be an excuse to circlejerk.

        Do you think pretending that thieves doing what they have always done is now epic and based is somehow hurting AI companies?

          No.

          Im making fun of people who defend multi-billion dollar companies online. As the person I was responding to did.

            You’re so based for standing up for the clickbait rag that is modern vice. Even if you have the reading comprehension of a grade schooler.

                You are really stupid dude. I’m not standing up for open AI, you are the only person standing up for a business. It’s just the business is a clickbait farm.

                You craving manufactured schadenfreude is not activism.

      1. Data centers are driving the up cost of copper and copper futures to meme stock levels.
      2. Copper prices are driving up the amount of copper theft to meme crime levels.
      3. Copper theft and Data centers are related. One is driving the other.

        Ok and you put more thought into the framing of this story than the author of the vice post(I will not call that an article) did. If you think there isn’t an anti-datacenter circlejerk and this wasn’t bait for it I don’t know what to tell you. High value cargo theft did not start because of datacenters, but you definitely only heard about this one because of the huge appetite for anti-datacenter news.

        That’s what I mean by circlejerk. Things that are not actually particularly exceptional are being treated like major news stories because people crave confirmation bias and schadenfreude. This vice post is one of the most transparent examples of the outrage economy that I’ve seen in a while.
