    Clickbait circlejerk slop. Every construction site is a target for thieves. This is just low effort clickbait made to pander to the anti-datacenter circlejerk, you could at least have linked instead to the business insider article this is ripping off.

        Do you think pretending that thieves doing what they have always done is now epic and based is somehow hurting AI companies?

            You’re so based for standing up for the clickbait rag that is modern vice. Even if you have the reading comprehension of a grade schooler.

                You are really stupid dude. I’m not standing up for open AI, you are the only person standing up for a business. It’s just the business is a clickbait farm.

                You craving manufactured schadenfreude is not activism.

      • The data center bubble is driving the up cost of copper, copper futures and copper scrap to meme stock levels.
      • Higher copper scrap prices are driving up the amount of copper theft to meme crime levels.
      • Thus data centers have a direct causal relationship with copper theft.
      • So no, it’s not an “anti-data center” circle jerk.

        Ok and you put more thought into the framing of this story than the author of the vice post(I will not call that an article) did. If you think there isn’t an anti-datacenter circlejerk and this wasn’t bait for it I don’t know what to tell you. High value cargo theft did not start because of datacenters, but you definitely only heard about this one because of the huge appetite for anti-datacenter news.

        That’s what I mean by circlejerk. Things that are not actually particularly exceptional are being treated like major news stories because people crave confirmation bias and schadenfreude. This vice post is one of the most transparent examples of the outrage economy that I’ve seen in a while.
