Boost if you want to see AI data centers burned to the ground or if you enjoy tacos. 🔥 🌮

This toot kinda blew up.

1) Credit to fellow Mastodonian Tiddy Roosevelt for the original idea. She posted something last week to the effect of "Boost this if you want to guillotine billionaires or you like pancakes". Frankly, it was brilliant. So, that's where the inspiration came from. Full kudos to her.

2) In this purely theoretical exercise, it would be best to salvage the tech first before torching the entire place.

3) cooking the tacos over the fire is a nice touch. (* chef's kiss *)

@galacticstone boosting twice

@galacticstone actually i'd rather see the data centers dismantled and the parts used to empower, but if that's off the table then yknow there's always plan B

@matildalove @galacticstone 'B' is for burn 🤭

A is for all of us working together

@galacticstone You wouldn't be able to make this toot or send an email without data centers. Better to keep your ire aimed squarely at AI specific ones

@zephyrxero Good point. I fixed it. 😀
Show threadThe Witch of Crow BriarMar 8
@zephyrxero @galacticstone I mean, we sent emails just fine before data centers existed, and a lot of fedi instances are self-hosted on actual hardware (including in one notable instance a barely functional phone powered by solar), so while opinions differ I personally wouldn’t mind if the qualifier was dropped 😅

@galacticstone I would like to use the heat from the ashes of a burned data center to cook some tacos.

@galacticstone i don't want to see them burn (because climate change) but i want to see them repurposed to something actually useful

does that count?

@galacticstone i want to watch a datacenter burn while eating tacos

Tacos cooked in an oven heated by the red hot coals of a former data centre.

@galacticstone Most taco places here don't have non-meat ones, so I don't often enjoy tacos. FWTW.

@galacticstone I wonder how secure the cooling system controls are at these datacenters. :3c
Show threadOrange Lizard GirlthingMar 8
@galacticstone Can we replace AI data centers with a local community member making tacos? Would be significantly more beneficial to everyone
Show threadMike TorrMar 8
@galacticstone Can we maybe burn them to the ground and use the heat to MAKE tacos? Just wondering.

@galacticstone
I’m conflicted because I appreciate the sentiment but prefer tortillas and would rather see AI datacenters dismantled and repurposed.
Show threadMichaelMar 8
@galacticstone let's take them apart in an orderly fashion and recycle all the parts. I dread to think of the fumes coming off a burning datacentre. Then we could use the profit to set up a free for all healthcaresystem or alleviate climatechange. My tacos on the other hand; red hot& onfire please!
