Lemmy

Even without considering the military use of an AI, that’s a lot of expensive and fragile equipment packed into a relatively small building.
It’s also pretty important infrastructure. Even before AI, one of the major providers datacentres going down would take out a solid chunk of modern internet.

Nothing would make billionaires change their tune about buddying up to this authoritarian regime faster than his actions leading to loss of profits

Imagine if Iran took out crucial infrastructure for AWS

Not even terrorism would get companies off of us-east-1 or building availability zone redundant apps
I used to be corporate IT, and this would have ruined my weekend… but my CEO donated to McConnell, Trump and the RNC, so fuck them.
that would be considered act of war, not terrorism

Imagine if Iran took out crucial infrastructure for AWS

  • I won’t be surprised if they actually do.
Oh no! us-east-1 is down again!?
