Even a decade ago the statement would have been complete lunacy.

Can we crowd fund this to make sure it happens?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 54 points 2 months ago

It would be like the single most popular thing the Iran could do at this point.

[–] Kefla@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

We need them to put the hexbear logo on one of the bombs

Oh no, you couldn't possibly take out all of the AI data centers. That would be so awful for the shareholders.

[–] lauha@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Noo, you're going to hurt so many people. Like 10 or so people will be so sad. :((

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 42 points 2 months ago

If they bomb enough datacenters we might get consistemt weather again.

Iran popping the AI bubble via force was not on my bingo card but I can dig it

[–] Wilco@lemmy.zip 32 points 2 months ago (3 children)

We dare you. We double dog dare you.

Honestly... why the fuck am I sitting here in the US rooting for Iran.

Oh yeah... because "Trump".

[–] Weydemeyer@lemmy.ml 43 points 2 months ago (4 children)

But when you dig into the history of the US in the 20th and 21st centuries, you start to notice this isn’t just a “Trump” thing. Outside of WW1 and WW2 (though the US has spurious reasons for joining WW1), the US has been the bad guys in every other instance.

The US is the imperialist hegemon, Trump has just been more open about it.

There is always a bright side.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 28 points 2 months ago

Oh no! Anyway...

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

I sure won't lose any sleep. In fact, I might sleep a bit better.

[–] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

Please do it

[–] youcantreadthis@quokk.au 23 points 2 months ago

Oh no. How terrible.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 22 points 2 months ago

Let'r rip. What a timeline to be in where I'm cheering for this.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 22 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why are they calling it Stargate? Is it supposed to have some space application?

Anyway good luck Iran. Maybe this is the exit strategy all along for the AI bubble. “Well, we can’t do the AI anymore because Iran bombed all our data centers. Sorry folks, everyone can go home now. We would have done the AI that totally worked the way we totally said it did, and it would have been awesome, but Iran ruined it for all of us. Let us never speak of this again.”

I see this as a win for humanity.

I love how they’re using trumps verbiage against him

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

The Butlerian Jihad is here.
