Extra.

“Can I just say fuck AI, fuck AI, fuck AI?” the comedian, actor, and rotating host of The Daily Show asked in his keynote speech during the Class Day celebration on Wednesday. The crowd at Tercentenary Theatre, made up of the graduating Class of 2026 and their friends and families, answered him with a roar of approval.

At this point, grads and undergrads only hope is to work their asses off developing anti-AI tech that blocks scraping, poisons data sets, and exploits unsophisticated bots to turn on their masters. 😈

    Or we could take the direct approach and start burning down datacenters. That's probably easier. And cheaper.

    no need to burn them down, just focus on the chillers. if they use evaporative coolers a water balloon partially filled with oil and soap will fuck that entire system.

    also better to cripple then destroy as they get a full insurance payout where just drastically degrading facility performance is harder to prove the monetary value.
