I swear I read an article about this months ago… is it the same data center and they still didn’t stop the gas turbines, or is this another one?
Either way: fuck Musk and fuck the government who laid the foundations for such atrocities.
it’s more turbines, not sure if it’s the same site or another
These new ones erase the old ones. Do over!
No, Grok has been classified by the DOJ as vital national security infrastructure and is not allowed to be shut down.
I haven’t had coffee yet. Is this sarcasm?
This would be a great time for an injunction to force the data center to shut down all of those turbines until the matter has been resolved legally.
Of course you need to be able to pay for a lawyer who convinces a judge to pass that injunction.
House Republicans include a 10-year ban on US states regulating AI in ‘big, beautiful’ bill
We’re at a point where we have to ask whether laws passed are legal.
Did that pass the Byrd bath?
We should be asking that IMO. Typically, the courts decide whether laws are constitutional or legal.
A judge that Musk and Trump have bought? Or a real judge? Do you have any of those left?
I’m pretty sure that if a judge would grant that injunction there’d be one less a week later.
Funny how the self proclaimed savior of humanity keeps treating regulations like optional DLC: If anyone else ran 59 gas turbines without permits they would be buried in fines. Billionaires call it innovation, everyone breathing nearby calls it another asthma attack waiting to happen.
Don’t worry, it’s only affecting a poor area. No billionairs are affected.

He, like any shillionaire, sees people as NPCs.
That’s why he was so enthusiastic to kill infants, children, teens and adults by cutting USAID.
If he’s ever admitted to a hospital, I genuinely hope that he’s left to suffer and rot.
These fuckers don’t go to hospitals, they have personal clinics and on call concierge doctors anywhere anytime.
One man harming thousands. Sounds like a crime that would be punishable by death in olden times.
There was an incident in South Korea some years ago where a greedy developer built an apartment building with substandard concrete; the building later collapsed and killed a few hundred people. The guy was tried and convicted and as he was being frog-marched to his sentencing hearing, friends and relatives of the victims were coming out of the crowd and beating him while his escorts just looked away.
It’s really enjoyable to imagine that happening here in the US, but then it’s enjoyable to imagine winning the lottery, too.
Vietnam would have had him executed by now
People like this would be shot. People would group together and hire gunmen to get rid of criminals in the old west.
Of course their security was just a few body guards and that’s it. Nobody was living in high tech buildings separate from everyone else.
It’s still punishable by death! Not legally, officially, but very much in reality!
Sounds like just anothwr day in the USA
Can someone just shoot the bastard?
Other methods are also acceptable.
Beaten to death with a used toilet brush.
call me a conservative, but I think we need to stick to traditional laws . . .
You mean good traditional values the conservatives push for? Like the good ol days.
Some polonium tee, hopefully
Did someone say Nowitschok?
Or at least sabotage the facility?
As Trump is learning with Iran, if you make enemies by the millions, you risk awakening a plumber.
Seriously…
If we are to learn from history, and the successes of various resistance groups in Europe when occupied by the Nazis, we would learn that targetting the higher ups and figureheads don’t work. What DOES work, is targeting the workers - the average people who facilitate the machine. When the architect of the holocaust was assassinated, it only sped things up and made it worse. So instead resistance groups started doing drive bys on average ol’ Deborah’s and Johns who was employed to operate the Nazi bureaucracy, do the paperwork, doing the monitoring, doing the deliveries, average folk who worked for them - as destabilizing the machinery is far more effective than targeting figureheads. As leftists know so well - it’s the workers that do all the work.
So rather than shooting Musk, it will genuinely be more effective to shoot at Tesla/SpaceX/X employees until they stop showing up to work. Same goes for banks, private equity firms, hedge funds, healthcare insurance companies, etc. They don’t even have security detail. There’s a million other jobs they could be doing, real work like helping to rebuild, instead they choose to make these demons dreams come true in exchange for a financial bribe. As my atheist father would say about religion - “I fear not the cult leader, but the millions who follow them.” Workers and employees of these companies are just as fair, and empirically more effective targets than the billionaire CEOs.
…In a videogame, of course. I would never incite
self-defenceviolence.
I hope Elon dies and I hope it’s painful; dying would be the first positive thing he ever contributed to humanity
Shoot him into space on one of his or Bezos’ rockets. Watch him explode as a result of the very thing he tried to accomplish.
Spacexs operational rockers are a standard of reliability
Blue needs a operational launchpad first, they kinda blew up their only one
Also that would be a rather quick death

I work in emissions monitoring and this is super illegal.
Its only illegal if someone prosecutes them. That isn’t going to happen before the purge.
Since when has illegality stopped
parasitesrich people?Yup, the “penalty costs” are just costs of doing business. And the richer they get, the less impactful the penalty is so it gets easier to write off.
Specifically which part is illegal? Is it lack of planning permission? Is it an environmental law? Etc.
While I hate being cold to peoples suffering, didn’t most of them vote for the face eating leopard party. They asked for their corporate overlords personal profit to be protected from their lungs, their environment, any consideration. They asked for billionaires to be above the law.
They are clearly being wronged here, there should be heavy fines, shutdowns and even jail time but my empathy is in short supply
Blacks typically vote mostly for Democrats while whites typically vote for Republicans. So black neighborhoods are commonly not getting representation.
Mississippi is about as Jim Crow as it can possibly be, so it doesn’t surprise me if white supremacist elected officials are pushed into office via gerrymandering, voter suppression and election tampering.
Yeah it was like 86% Harris from African Americans.
About 40% of Mississippi voters voted for Kamala Harris. Additionally, about 38% of the state’s residents are black.
Just because they voted for a leopard to eat their face, doesn’t mean they deserve to have their face eaten
Not really. If he has permissions for a temporary install, it is above board. He just needs to get a permanent permit before moving to a long term generator instead of temporary fixes.
Should the permissions have been blocked? Now that’s a diff question
So you’re just going to parrot Elon Musk’s public statement about why he doesn’t need permission? Get outta here!
He has more than 2x as many turbines than is allowed for a temporary install. The article makes it abundantly clear that these things are illegal.
Musk doesn’t have permission to do this, no matter what excuse he gives.
I was landing in Memphis a few weeks ago, and you can see the literal cloud of pollution surrounding this thing. There’s a distinct haze you can see centered on the thing.
Im sure the American legal system will get those wheels of justice spinning on this in a few years.
No, but Julia Roberts and Meryl Streep will win hella Oscars playing the plucky white women who “take them down.”
training wheels of justice
My city finally got a court order against a billionaire for unpermitted building that allows us to bulldoze his house. Just took 7 years in court to get the ruling…
And instead of bulldozing the house, we were able to use the court order to strongarm them into fixing their site so it no longer damages the environment, their neighbors, or city infrastructure.
The upside for the city there (aside from having to bid out and manage a major project in-house) is that we get a lot more tax revenue from a house that is brought into compliance than a scarred, demolished site.
Musk will power those spinning wheels himself with his natural gas turbines.

Remember that anthropic are renting this data center, and should be seen as just as responsible as Musk.
https://www.theverge.com/science/935229/spacex-anthropic-ipo-ai-capacity-deal-colossus
Also Musk is such a loser, he built and ran this giant polluting data center without knowing what to do with it, and ended up renting it out at what looks like a loss.
Along with any dipshit using AI to begin with. As much of a complete piece of shit as musk is (and he is a HUGE piece of shit), the end users of this shit share in the blame too. Any idiot using grok or whatever the fuck anthropic call their horseshit are culpable.
To a proportionate degree yes, but AI is being shoved down the throats of workers and subsidized by the companies providing it too. I have some sympathy for the clueless grandma, or the person who’s genuinely lost their mind thanks to this.
I have zero sympathy for the willfully ignorant. There’s more than enough information and evidence that this shit is horrible on many fronts, and anyone who has managed to ignore it is toeing into dangerously stupid territory. Making excuses for dumb assholes is how we’ve ended up with the stupidest cunts ever running things.
Dario Amodei is the one renting out the servers while pretending to he’s the Wholesome Ethical AI Guy. His behavior is nearly on par with Musk here.
I’m much more interested in him (behavior that’s extremely intentional, with the added slime of being deceptive and yet enjoying a ton of undeserved, fawning PR) than the average clueless Meemaw. Similar to many other trash systems, you have to look at the people maintaining the system, not the people using it.
It’s nice to see Elon following in his father’s footsteps of hurting black people in an effort to get even more needlessly rich. Honestly though, somebody should take Elon back to South Africa and hurl him down a mineshaft.
I have a suspicion they put the gas turbines near those communities specifically to fuck with them the same way they bulldozed poor neighborhoods for roads
Well they probably are poor and thus have less means to defend themselves.
More likely bully tactics: they have little resources to fight it.
Ozymandias
Percy Bysshe Shelley
I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: “My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.
It’s sad that the norm is to expect those in power will try to ruin lives as fast and as efficiently as possible. Just why… They have billions of dollars already… Why
Because they’re in a race against each other that they can never win. Elon Musk may have gotten a little wiggle room from his competition when SpaceX went public but you can bet your ass (cause I know all of you don’t have a dollar to waste) Larry Page is running his brain ragged trying to think about how he becomes the most powerful one. It’s just a pissing contest and unfortunately they’re really careless
Bunch of Harkonnen scumbags.
To billionaires money is just like a high score in an arcade cabinet. And they’re also evil.
I ask myself the same question. It feels like such an empty life. More and more money that they would need many lifetimes to be able to spend, which will be worth absolutely useless if and when they end up fucking up the whole world. It doesn’t make sense at all. Yes, it’s nice to have money to buy whatever you want, I won’t argue that, but come on. At this point I’m leaning towards them just having so much fucking ego that they can’t stop anymore. If anyone has another possible explanation, I’d really like to know.
“black communities” …say no more, they’re fuckin’ SOL…
in one of the most racist state missisipi.
Mississippi black communities, not only are they SOL they’re about to be raided by local law enforcement.
It’s shocking that they just seem to sit out there in the open. Afaik they are very delicate and fragile machines.
Would be a shame if something hapens to those…
What would happen if I by accident fly my drone into those fans?
Probably very illegal! Drones would be relatively easy to track versus for example bullets from a random hunting rifle. They should really label every single bullet of ammunition in the US.
Golly, can you imagine if someone maybe hooked up a small tube to fire shotgun shells FROM a drone? That would be awful!
you mean those military drones that basically do exist already. Hack, I think soon be available on Alibaba as well ><. But instead of a real gun its more like the “Salt Guns” (yeah this is a thing as well now eh)…
Real inefficent, you will need to fly and reload multiple times to have a significant effect
https://armourersbench.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/sequence-01.00_03_54_10.still006.png?w=1024
Use this and just drop it from a drone instead of launched from a rpg
Could add a frag slieve if you really want, remember that anything wotks
yeah, but much harder to find over the counter than shotgun shells
The problem would be a light remotely operated shotgun
If you can already get shotgun shells and make the light shotgun then you are 70% of the way to a DIY bomb
