Meta putting up tents across the US to house AI servers, like ‘a scene out of the movie Mad Max’ — structures take three months to build and use jet engines for power (www.tomshardware.com)

These "makeshift" structures are housing hardware that costs millions of dollars in total.

"Putting AI servers inside tents, officially called “rapid deployment structures,” is one of the more unique approaches to the AI build-out, Thomas said. They’re certainly not as sturdy as physical buildings made from steel and concrete, with one commenter comparing it to the “classic $10k racing bike with a $9 lock” situation."

Does this somehow get around local building codes?

Probably not however when you are rich, you can do anything.

I think the quote was: "when you're a start, they let you do it. You can do anything" Which - along with the context in which these words were said - says a lot more about the rapist mentality these fucks have.
