Ozymandias

Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Im sure the American legal system will get those wheels of justice spinning on this in a few years.

One man harming thousands. Sounds like a crime that would be punishable by death in olden times.

There was an incident in South Korea some years ago where a greedy developer built an apartment building with substandard concrete; the building later collapsed and killed a few hundred people. The guy was tried and convicted and as he was being frog-marched to his sentencing hearing, friends and relatives of the victims were coming out of the crowd and beating him while his escorts just looked away.

It's really enjoyable to imagine that happening here in the US, but then it's enjoyable to imagine winning the lottery, too.

Vietnam would have had him executed by now

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Sounds like just anothwr day in the USA

Remember that anthropic are renting this data center, and should be seen as just as responsible as Musk.

Also Musk is such a loser, he built and ran this giant polluting data center without knowing what to do with it, and ended up renting it out at what looks like a loss.

[-] wasabi_noir@lemmy.zip 6 points 3 hours ago

Along with any dipshit using AI to begin with. As much of a complete piece of shit as musk is (and he is a HUGE piece of shit), the end users of this shit share in the blame too. Any idiot using grok or whatever the fuck anthropic call their horseshit are culpable.

It's nice to see Elon following in his father's footsteps of hurting black people in an effort to get even more needlessly rich. Honestly though, somebody should take Elon back to South Africa and hurl him down a mineshaft.

[-] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Can someone do something about this racist Afrikaans piece of shit?

[-] Lucky_Acid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

Damn, kickin' it old school!

[-] green_goglin 3 points 2 hours ago

Gee golly, someone will surely do something…

[-] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 10 points 4 hours ago

It's shocking that they just seem to sit out there in the open. Afaik they are very delicate and fragile machines.

[-] darkmogool@feddit.org 6 points 4 hours ago

Would be a shame if something hapens to those…

[-] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 3 points 4 hours ago

What would happen if I by accident fly my drone into those fans?

[-] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 hours ago

Probably very illegal! Drones would be relatively easy to track versus for example bullets from a random hunting rifle. They should really label every single bullet of ammunition in the US.

[-] mattyroses@lemmy.today 2 points 2 hours ago

Golly, can you imagine if someone maybe hooked up a small tube to fire shotgun shells FROM a drone? That would be awful!

[-] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 2 hours ago

you mean those military drones that basically do exist already. Hack, I think soon be available on Alibaba as well ><. But instead of a real gun its more like the "Salt Guns" (yeah this is a thing as well now eh)..

[-] webkitten@piefed.social 46 points 7 hours ago

I hope Elon dies and I hope it's painful; dying would be the first positive thing he ever contributed to humanity

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 8 points 4 hours ago

Shoot him into space on one of his or Bezos' rockets. Watch him explode as a result of the very thing he tried to accomplish.

It needs to die ugly. All the musk children need to die or be sterilized. Everything it cares about needs to end, and be thrown into wherever we decide to dispose of used nuclear fuel.

[-] eicker@lemmy.world 70 points 8 hours ago

Funny how the self proclaimed savior of humanity keeps treating regulations like optional DLC: If anyone else ran 59 gas turbines without permits they would be buried in fines. Billionaires call it innovation, everyone breathing nearby calls it another asthma attack waiting to happen.

[-] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 21 points 5 hours ago

Don't worry, it's only affecting a poor area. No billionairs are affected.

[-] lemmyng@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago

keeps treating regulations like optional DLC

He, like any shillionaire, sees people as NPCs.

That's why he was so enthusiastic to kill infants, children, teens and adults by cutting USAID.

If he's ever admitted to a hospital, I genuinely hope that he's left to suffer and rot.

[-] Lanske@lemmy.world 48 points 8 hours ago

Can someone just shoot the bastard?

[-] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 12 points 4 hours ago

Or at least sabotage the facility?

[-] remon@ani.social 24 points 8 hours ago

Other methods are also acceptable.

[-] mattyroses@lemmy.today 9 points 2 hours ago

call me a conservative, but I think we need to stick to traditional laws . . .

[-] Patrikvo@lemmy.zip 10 points 5 hours ago

Beaten to death with a used toilet brush.

[-] random_character_a@lemmy.world 5 points 7 hours ago

Some polonium tee, hopefully

[-] Senseless@feddit.org 3 points 6 hours ago

Did someone say Nowitschok?

[-] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 89 points 10 hours ago

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,that was portable generator trucks that were not 'installed'. This is new.

[-] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 4 points 5 hours ago

You're right!

So, from bad to worse...

No, no. Don't look at it like that. They didn't stop the trucks AFAIK.

It's bad and worse!

[-] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 21 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] fullsquare@awful.systems 27 points 10 hours ago

it's more turbines, not sure if it's the same site or another

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.

I was landing in Memphis a few weeks ago, and you can see the literal cloud of pollution surrounding this thing. There's a distinct haze you can see centered on the thing.

[-] HrabiaVulpes@europe.pub 7 points 8 hours ago

I will add this to the list of reasons I'm happy not to live in the USA, as soon as I manage to add new page to it.
