    Datacenters are not just for AI.

    This is potentially worse than you’d immediately think. Literally everything that exists in “the cloud” is in a datacenter and is not exclusively AI. Remember when AWS went down and half the internet went down with it? Now imagine the datacenters actually got destroyed and it wasn’t just a software bug. Imagine if the datacenters went down for your bank account or healthcare provider. Sure this is only happening in the Middle East at the moment, but as we’ve been learning more and more these days, if it can happen “over there” it can happen here too. Wherever “here” may be, this can affect you.

    ETA: Added some words.

      I pray that every single data center containing every single cloud based system is turned to ash.

      I want their systems of control and oppression to wither into dust.

      I do not want to live my life the way that it is now. I want for the insanity of 3000000000 accounts, all with my detailed personal info, circling about on the internet to end.

      There is a better way to organize the internet and by Zeus if we have to burn the internet and the financial world to do it, THEN LET US.
