One thought keeping me up at night is, if I were to destroy/damage a datacenter, and was found guilty, is there a way to not pay for the damages? Could I just get a life sentance instead of paying
For some of them, I think each rack costs like in the millions. A giant AI datacenter will have tonnes and tonnes of them. Do you think you could ever pay back even the tiniest fraction of 1 billion $?
I fully expect to see an execution happen in my lifetime for someone destroying a data center.
It’d be preferable for their hardware to be redistributed to people who could use it for open source things, but I’ll accept burning down or killdozering.
Incidentally if you steal a bunch of super thick copper wiring from a data center construction site, strip it all down, and melt the copper into ingots, nobody asks questions about where you got the copper at the scrap place you sell it to. So make sure you don’t do things like that.

The key is, get a horde to do it. Gonna jail an entire city? Nope.

Yea but they’d still put me in eternal debt, right?
Ask grok!

Do people usually have to pay for things when they destroy them? I don’t think I’ve heard of that generally
Just don’t get caught though. Flee the country, lay low.
