    Imagine starting to work from the inside and weld things wrong, install wiring just, “good enough,” knowing full well one of the plugs will start a fire, shit inside the cement and make shit laced walls.

    Construction workers can still get paid and inspection workers can be in on it too. It happens over and over again and eventually it becomes something that’s not cost feasible to keep trying to rebuild knowing there will be a failure.

      When pouring concrete it is vitally important that you do not accidentally spill a soda in the wet concrete. The sugar in the soda would ruin the concrete pour.

    Oh no, the corporations which stole immeasurable quantities of our data to train their for-profit AI models are having their building materials stolen. My heart bleeds.

    That’s the problem with making RAM so expensive. It’s not physically very big so you can fit a lot of it in a truck

    Clickbait circlejerk slop. Every construction site is a target for thieves. This is just low effort clickbait made to pander to the anti-datacenter circlejerk, you could at least have linked instead to the business insider article this is ripping off.

      • The data center bubble is driving the up cost of copper, copper futures and copper scrap to meme stock levels.
      • Higher copper scrap prices are driving up the amount of copper theft to meme crime levels.
      • Thus data centers have a direct causal relationship with copper theft.
      • So no, it’s not an “anti-data center” circle jerk.

    Okay, so tech companies steal your info when you login, they can pluck software off your devices whenever they choose, AI will steal your face and your art should anyone put it online, oh and they get corporate welfare?.. Anyone stealing from them, shooting CEOs, cutting down flock cameras, or shooting at Trump seems like the good guys in comparison.
