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

[–] dan69@lemmy.world 15 points 4 months ago

You should’ve said to triple dog dare em.

[–] EmpireInDecay@lemmy.ml 112 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Can we crowd fund this to make sure it happens?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 55 points 4 months ago

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

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 21 points 4 months ago

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

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 53 points 4 months ago

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

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".

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 had 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.

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

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 32 points 4 months ago

Oh no! Anyway...

[–] Carhv@thelemmy.club 32 points 4 months ago

There is always a bright side.

Please do it

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 29 points 4 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.”

Maybe this is the exit strategy all along for the AI bubble.

Either that or it's the trigger that gets Trump to bail out the industry. "We need this to win the war" is the new "to big to fail."

I hope you're right though

[–] Lioffproxy@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago

I see this as a win for humanity.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 28 points 4 months ago

I love how they’re using trumps verbiage against him

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 27 points 4 months ago

The Butlerian Jihad is here.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 27 points 4 months ago

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

[–] Stonewyvvern@lemmy.world 24 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Stop talking and do it then. FAFO.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 22 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I'm guessing they're gonna do it if the US attacks their infrastructure further. They're using the threat as leverage.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 14 points 4 months ago

[–] andallthat@lemmy.world 13 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

If this wasn't so tragically real, it would be almost fun to see these grown ass super serious people on both sides sound like they are cutting a promo for a wrasslin' match.

They don't destroy and murder. No, they devastate, they bring back to the stone age, they utterly annihilate. Is this a performance? Or is the whole world now in the hands of complete idiots?
