Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

So an underground US version of the Ukrainian Unmanned Systems Forces targetting data centres to take them offline?
First rule of Flight Club.
I think you mean first rule if Project Mayhem.
You can be in as many clubs as you want
Who’s gonna hold them accountable?
Right?! Trump just gutted like the last of the EPA and not a single judge looked up from their roasted stork.
If the government won't enforce the law, vigilantism is the only alternative. If the turbines are destroyed, they can't emit.
and constructive rioting.
Looks like if nobody will represent the people, the people must take this into their own hands. Datacenters are polluting enough without the hackjob power source.
Who knew the AI apocalypse would be due to its massive energy usage.
Wasn't that part of the plot of the Matrix?
They’re so unoriginal, it’s always a misunderstood dystopian plot, willfully ignored, flouted as genius.
They'll be in real trouble when they get fined into oblivion. I bet they're looking a thousands of dollars here!
IIRC this admin explicitely gives AI stuff a free pass for the next ten years.
State regulators in Mississippi maintain that since the turbines are parked on tractor trailers, they don’t require permits.
What sort of stupid fucking ruling is that? Do things magically stop polluting when you put them on tractor trailers, or something?
It was probably a law written expecting the use case to be temporary power perhaps for an event or temporary maintenece need. The drafters of that law likely didn't think someone would blatantly skirt the spirit of the law by simple placing the generators on trailers as a permanent fixture.
In short, the state needs to update its laws to remove this loophole.
Redneck logic.
I hope that when Elon Musk is guillotined, all of his family goes with him.
This does except his ex-daughter, who rightfully disowned him.
Edit: I accidentally misspelled his name, I’ve corrected it. Whoever is in charge of carving his gravestone has the correct spelling now.
his brother kimball musk got into the us on a similar scheme that elon did.
Guillotine time? Or are we letting it get worse? I have an executive functioning disorder so genuinely asking because I think we should be chopping of heads.
We need some kind of citizens court it seems like.
I second this motion
Guillotine time? Or are we letting it get worse?
Ultimately that is a question only you can decide on.
As a European it annoys me that
- the EU is dead set to "not be left behind" wrt AI
- the main reason the US are ahead is because of shit like this
Reminder: these are literally powering the world's largest CSAM generator.
How is everything this guy does so dystopian.
thats why he chose red states, regulation free states.
this isn't a mistake, it's a pattern. He cuts corners with every project.
