Iran to Target Tech Companies Like Google, Microsoft, and Nvidia: Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has declared American tech and banking companies as targets.

This feels like the end of a Scooby Doo episode where they take off the mask and the true villain is revealed.

Haha oh well

It’s a good thing a massive internet vulnerability that fucked the whole thing up for a week wasn’t just exposed and certainly would never be targeted…

Do they need recommendations?

Oh no, anyway. Please keep poisoning AI. Thank you!

> OpenAI is building a 10-square-mile AI campus in the UAE called Stargate, which has involvement from Oracle, Nvidia, and Cisco. Microsoft is reportedly planning to invest $15 billion in the UAE in the next three years. But if Iran steps up its attacks on these companies’ Middle Eastern assets, all of this will be in limbo.
Oh no!
Anyway…
Btw, “AI campus”? I hate it.

My hot new conspiracy to peddle to random coworkers and strangers at the bar is that this is how we get cyberpunk. Iran has already bombed Amazon data centers in the Middle East. I’m (kinda sorta jokingly but also maybe not) convinced that we’re about a year out from seeing the headline “Trump Admin approves sale of F-35s and missile systems to Amazon, Meta” and watching Zuckerberg in front of Congress saying “we need to protect our investments and corporate interests overseas, please allow us to have a private army”

Would be a shame if everyone’s mortgage was erased.

I’m fine with them firing missiles at data centers.

Good thing DOGE got all of our personal information so they can back it all up

Hope the oligarch-bros enjoy hitching themselves to Old Man Poopypants. Solid decision.

When I was at Google there were two active shooter incidents. Both of them I found out about after the fact on the news.
One was at a campus 30mins or so away, so I wasn’t too bothered that I wasn’t alerted.
The other was, however, at the campus I worked at. At some point all the FTE employees cleared out. See, THEY had gotten a warning about an active shooter event. The redshirt contractors got no such warnings and found out on the news after it was over without so much as a “whoops sorry.”
And no, none of the FTEs bothered to warn us before leaving either.
Good luck boys 🤣

Yo when the nation you’re warring is more straight up about the actual accountability your country needs, I think you’ve lost the war.

Buy the remaining GME warrant float. You’ll *really* fuck Wall Street over with that one.

Iran calls it their madman strategy. I guess we are now in a game of chicken between the madmen in the Trump whitehouse and the madmen in the Iranian regime and something tells me the Iranians are actually going to come out of this winning because unlike the US they dont care about “the economy” and have a way higher threshold to endure losses and pain.

That awkward moment when you have more in common with the people you’re at war with than your own government.
Yeah, we ALSO agree that big tech is evil and our President is a monster and our military is guilty of massive war crimes, and…

The strangest thing is our alleged enemy is doing what responsible government should be doing.

I never pegged Iran for the country to deliver freedom to modern America.

Funny how the companies have kind of lost their touch with their old customers after they make it big. It sounds like people don’t have a favorable opinion about them anymore either. It’s important to strive to value people and life.

Why would anyone build computer centers, which require intesive cooling, tons of cooling water, in the hottest and driest part of the world ?

It would be terrible if they destroyed the data centers that record everyone’s debt.

I hope they don’t hack US Bank and wipe out all their mortgages and history of them. That would be just terrible

Oh no! Please don’t cyber attack the credit card companies and wipe everything out. That would be the *worst*

soo, everyone is saying how evil Iran is, but.
they are having a war against:
* Israel – uhhh
* Trump and the new US – uhhhhh
* corporations – uhhhhhhh
if they wouldn’t have shot protesters and disappeared so many people during the night I’d be soooo tempted to land a hand right now 🤷🏻♂️
