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."

All funded with Facebook and Instagram and a touch of glasses and oculus.

Things so easy to simply not use and even with this evidence of how shitty they are (nevermind the ability to shift politics) people won't quit.

We are all fucked.

    The products are addictive like gambling. That’s why they are loosing court cases now. People can’t stop even if they want to.

    'Eh, I stopped about 8yrs ago. Wasn't that hard. Highly recommended, btw.

    All you have to do is make sure MFA is on, log off and never go back. Then delete the apps, of course.

    And I stopped smoking at 13. There are gamblers, drug users and others that can’t stop but if you aren’t in that situation it’s hard to understand how hard it is. Deleting the apps is a must like not having junk food in the house if you are trying to loose weight.
