I swear I read an article about this months ago... is it the same data center and they still didn't stop the gas turbines, or is this another one?

Either way: fuck Musk and fuck the government who laid the foundations for such atrocities.

    No, Grok has been classified by the DOJ as vital national security infrastructure and is not allowed to be shut down.

    This would be a great time for an injunction to force the data center to shut down all of those turbines until the matter has been resolved legally.

    Of course you need to be able to pay for a lawyer who convinces a judge to pass that injunction.

    House Republicans include a 10-year ban on US states regulating AI in ‘big, beautiful’ bill

    We're at a point where we have to ask whether laws passed are legal.
