I swear I read an article about this months ago… is it the same data center and they still didn’t stop the gas turbines, or is this another one?
Either way: fuck Musk and fuck the government who laid the foundations for such atrocities.
it’s more turbines, not sure if it’s the same site or another
No, Grok has been classified by the DOJ as vital national security infrastructure and is not allowed to be shut down.
I haven’t had coffee yet. Is this sarcasm?
This would be a great time for an injunction to force the data center to shut down all of those turbines until the matter has been resolved legally.
Of course you need to be able to pay for a lawyer who convinces a judge to pass that injunction.
House Republicans include a 10-year ban on US states regulating AI in ‘big, beautiful’ bill
We’re at a point where we have to ask whether laws passed are legal.
Did that pass the Byrd bath?
A judge that Musk and Trump have bought? Or a real judge? Do you have any of those left?
I’m pretty sure that if a judge would grant that injunction there’d be one less a week later.
Funny how the self proclaimed savior of humanity keeps treating regulations like optional DLC: If anyone else ran 59 gas turbines without permits they would be buried in fines. Billionaires call it innovation, everyone breathing nearby calls it another asthma attack waiting to happen.
Don’t worry, it’s only affecting a poor area. No billionairs are affected.

He, like any shillionaire, sees people as NPCs.
That’s why he was so enthusiastic to kill infants, children, teens and adults by cutting USAID.
If he’s ever admitted to a hospital, I genuinely hope that he’s left to suffer and rot.
These fuckers don’t go to hospitals, they have personal clinics and on call concierge doctors anywhere anytime.
One man harming thousands. Sounds like a crime that would be punishable by death in olden times.
There was an incident in South Korea some years ago where a greedy developer built an apartment building with substandard concrete; the building later collapsed and killed a few hundred people. The guy was tried and convicted and as he was being frog-marched to his sentencing hearing, friends and relatives of the victims were coming out of the crowd and beating him while his escorts just looked away.
It’s really enjoyable to imagine that happening here in the US, but then it’s enjoyable to imagine winning the lottery, too.
People like this would be shot. People would group together and hire gunmen to get rid of criminals in the old west.
Of course their security was just a few body guards and that’s it. Nobody was living in high tech buildings separate from everyone else.
Vietnam would have had him executed by now
It’s still punishable by death! Not legally, officially, but very much in reality!
Sounds like just anothwr day in the USA
Can someone just shoot the bastard?
Other methods are also acceptable.
Beaten to death with a used toilet brush.
call me a conservative, but I think we need to stick to traditional laws . . .
You mean good traditional values the conservatives push for? Like the good ol days.
Some polonium tee, hopefully
Or at least sabotage the facility?
As Trump is learning with Iran, if you make enemies by the millions, you risk awakening a plumber.

Shoot him into space on one of his or Bezos’ rockets. Watch him explode as a result of the very thing he tried to accomplish.
Spacexs operational rockers are a standard of reliability
Blue needs a operational launchpad first, they kinda blew up their only one
Also that would be a rather quick death

Im sure the American legal system will get those wheels of justice spinning on this in a few years.
No, but Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep will win hella Oscars playing the plucky white women who “take them down.”
My city finally got a court order against a billionaire for unpermitted building that allows us to bulldoze his house. Just took 7 years in court to get the ruling…
And instead of bulldozing the house, we were able to use the court order to strongarm them into fixing their site so it no longer damages the environment, their neighbors, or city infrastructure.
The upside for the city there (aside from having to bid out and manage a major project in-house) is that we get a lot more tax revenue from a house that is brought into compliance than a scarred, demolished site.
Musk will power those spinning wheels himself with his natural gas turbines.

Remember that anthropic are renting this data center, and should be seen as just as responsible as Musk.

Also Musk is such a loser, he built and ran this giant polluting data center without knowing what to do with it, and ended up renting it out at what looks like a loss.
Along with any dipshit using AI to begin with. As much of a complete piece of shit as musk is (and he is a HUGE piece of shit), the end users of this shit share in the blame too. Any idiot using grok or whatever the fuck anthropic call their horseshit are culpable.
To a proportionate degree yes, but AI is being shoved down the throats of workers and subsidized by the companies providing it too. I have some sympathy for the clueless grandma, or the person who’s genuinely lost their mind thanks to this.
I have zero sympathy for the willfully ignorant. There’s more than enough information and evidence that this shit is horrible on many fronts, and anyone who has managed to ignore it is toeing into dangerously stupid territory. Making excuses for dumb assholes is how we’ve ended up with the stupidest cunts ever running things.
Dario Amodei is the one renting out the servers while pretending to he’s the Wholesome Ethical AI Guy. His behavior is nearly on par with Musk here.
I’m much more interested in him (behavior that’s extremely intentional, with the added slime of being deceptive and yet enjoying a ton of undeserved, fawning PR) than the average clueless Meemaw. Similar to many other trash systems, you have to look at the people maintaining the system, not the people using it.
It’s nice to see Elon following in his father’s footsteps of hurting black people in an effort to get even more needlessly rich. Honestly though, somebody should take Elon back to South Africa and hurl him down a mineshaft.
people did that work, just because elon musk tells people what to do doesn’t mean those people should be exonerated from the consequences as well. the people doing the work sure as shit falls out there ass, know there was no permit. if there no permit, then why not a great fire ball in the night sky.
Yes. I’m pretty sure it’s a contractor’s job to get the permits. Is it not?
Not removing blame from Elon. Just smearing the blame around cause all those fucks are responsible
Yea I’m not sure why this isn’t the normal way to think. The logic of “they are just doing a job and getting theirs” doesn’t hold up for everything so where is the line for these people?
Oh shucks i see you’ve signed up to drag me to the death camp! Not your fault! You’re just getting yours! Now let me be polite and handcuff myself!
We need to be more serious.
At some point participation is complicity but unless we make it hostile to work with, for, or in the interests of these inhuman monsters, people won’t know not to. Labour is not in a position to know what work is illegal or not.
Working for the wealthy needs to be seen as a threat against society. It’s deeply anti-social. We have no way to differentiate them in their range of evil, and they made it impossible to find out. So at some point, to protect the working, poor and middle classes, if you’re wealthy, you’re a threat. Don’t want to be treated as a threat? Give up your wealth and join the peasantry. We need to police our own to protect ourselves from the threat of wealth.
I agree, Elon is not at fault here. All he did was finance it with enough money to convince people to ignore the law.
Paying someone to do a crime is the same as doing the crime.
Cause —>Effect.
Sorry, my sarcasm did not translate through text. I was trying to poke at the original commenters shifting of blame from Elon to the people that he hired
I have a suspicion they put the gas turbines near those communities specifically to fuck with them the same way they bulldozed poor neighborhoods for roads
Well they probably are poor and thus have less means to defend themselves.
More likely bully tactics: they have little resources to fight it.
It’s sad that the norm is to expect those in power will try to ruin lives as fast and as efficiently as possible. Just why… They have billions of dollars already… Why
Bunch of Harkonnen scumbags.
Because they’re in a race against each other that they can never win. Elon Musk may have gotten a little wiggle room from his competition when SpaceX went public but you can bet your ass (cause I know all of you don’t have a dollar to waste) Larry Page is running his brain ragged trying to think about how he becomes the most powerful one. It’s just a pissing contest and unfortunately they’re really careless
To billionaires money is just like a high score in an arcade cabinet. And they’re also evil.
I ask myself the same question. It feels like such an empty life. More and more money that they would need many lifetimes to be able to spend, which will be worth absolutely useless if and when they end up fucking up the whole world. It doesn’t make sense at all. Yes, it’s nice to have money to buy whatever you want, I won’t argue that, but come on. At this point I’m leaning towards them just having so much fucking ego that they can’t stop anymore. If anyone has another possible explanation, I’d really like to know.
Ozymandias
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
“black communities” …say no more, they’re fuckin’ SOL…
in one of the most racist state missisipi.
Mississippi black communities, not only are they SOL they’re about to be raided by local law enforcement.
They are just going to call it another “Sacrifice Zone” like they do the cancer alley in Louisiana arent they?
Some people just are expendable for progress, what can the country do?
Expendable for
progressprofits.
It’s shocking that they just seem to sit out there in the open. Afaik they are very delicate and fragile machines.
