my meds, still in the pillcase:
Iran is threatening to destroy an AI data centre in Abu Dhabi.
I really hope this is not an idle threat.
There ought to be a Hierarchy of Troubleshooting/Debugging, with “PEBKAC” being the most likely culprit.

@CursedSilicon@social.restless.systems Those houses will come in handy when the AI bubble bursts.
I feel like the rest of the eagles in my trenchcoat are about to hit the one singing ‘Africa’ on loop with a brick.
