Overrun? They were there first.

You're data centers are the ones overrunning it

[-] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 11 points 10 months ago

TBF I think "overrun" refers to the crabs' annual migration, but I also find the phrasing a little off.

God hates humanity.

I love a good crab roll

[-] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 2 points 10 months ago

Why did they put such tremendous effort and then give all the crabs 8 legs though...

[-] tyler@programming.dev 8 points 10 months ago

Because that’s how many legs crabs have…

They actually have ten, but I’m guessing you’re not counting their claws.

I would never have believed Google planned on taking over the world with AI crabs until they said this. "We are not constructing ‘a large artificial intelligence data centre’ on Christmas Island,”

Will carcinisation play out with ai? I sure hope so.

[-] maccentric@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Carcinisation?

[-] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

Crossing my fingers for our crab AI overlords.

[-] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 5 points 10 months ago

The crab video is really marvelous. I love the absolute clear frustration of the crab "ARGH NO DON'T TURN ME UPSIDE DOWN I HAVE EGGS TO LOOK AFTER YOU MORON"

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Sucks to be the guy assigned to that office, especially with RTO

[-] Texas_Hangover@lemmy.radio 2 points 10 months ago

I'm down for island living and all you can eat crabs.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Yeah but then you have to work for a Google subcontractor

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 3 points 10 months ago
