Iran threatens ‘complete and utter annihilation’ of OpenAI's $30B Stargate AI data center in Abu Dhabi — regime posts video with satellite imagery of ChatGPT-maker's premier 1GW data center

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued this specific threat in a video update.

@peter Yes and no.

Because these data centers are near to village, and their implementation has been imposed to these villagers (usually, poor people). If they damage the instalation without harm for the local people will be ok.

Would be better if the target was the house of the Broligarcs.

@CorioPsicologia i'm not actually in favor of dropping ballistic missiles on data centers. villagers aside, the janitors don't deserve that. likewise, there are hundreds of servants working in the broligarc's houses, i wouldn't want to kill them either.

@peter @CorioPsicologia

Not that Iran will, but they could warn everyone in advance to evacuate before the bombs hit and the data center would still be a sitting duck.
