Meta putting up tents across the US to house AI servers, like ‘a scene out of the movie Mad Max’ — structures take three months to build and use jet engines for power (www.tomshardware.com)

These "makeshift" structures are housing hardware that costs millions of dollars in total.

"Putting AI servers inside tents, officially called “rapid deployment structures,” is one of the more unique approaches to the AI build-out, Thomas said. They’re certainly not as sturdy as physical buildings made from steel and concrete, with one commenter comparing it to the “classic $10k racing bike with a $9 lock” situation."

How is this like Mad Max?

They rolled poorly on their "x thing in real life is like y dystopian art piece" dice

I suppose Mad Max was also about people living with a lack of government oversight, allowing the powerful to do as they please.

Nah, that can't be right. What would protect the powerful if there was no government?

Need to make it sound apocalyptic somehow to draw the clicks.
