With SecDef blaming the school middle attack on Palantir’s shoddy AI data, thereby proving AI makes target decisions, it makes sense.

Target the Epstein files and Donald Trump’s involvement in the Epstein files instead

I would believe all data centers are cybersecurity targets as is the stock market

They’re actually…really good targets.
They are a high concentration of infrastructure, have relatively small workforces, and they’re rarely placed in close proximity to dense urban populations because no one wants them nearby and that land is expensive.
They are, however, civilian infrastructure. And their explicit military value seems limited.
Iran hitting purely civilian infrastructure muddies the “Trump is going to do a war crime if he strikes Iranian infrastructure” claim.

I think it’s well documented that military forces in that region use data centers for their tracking and AI driven intel and targeting

Good, add the tech bro’s bunkers and mansions to the list too

Good.
As they should be: they are weapons of war and weapons of oppression at this point.

The US has lost the AI race to China. Data centers give off heat blooms which missiles have zero problem locking onto. US tech companies like META, Oracle, Amazon etc have data centers spread out across the Middle East because land is dirt ass cheap. Iran has also said it’s going to target Open AI’s $30 billion AI data center in the Middle East. Congrats MAGA, you just made the US lose the AI race to China. China’s data centers are not being hit by missiles.

As they should be. They are so keen on shoving AI into the military. Explain how they wouldn’t be a target now?

Oh no, not the data centers, who will steal our water if something happens to them?

Ill gladly go back to reading books if it means AI is destroyed or setback 🙃

Instead of bombing the data centers, can we just loot them instead? That’s a lot of hardware that a lot of people could use.

Oh no. Anyways

An obvious, high cost, simple target that’s super easy to see on satellite??? How could that be a target in war?
Sometimes I think commercial giants don’t really think things through when donating money to politics.
Risk mitigation and self preservation is just running at zero. It’s just an insane path to take.

The tech companies are defense contractors. It’s way more justified than double tap murdering schoolgirls, or bombing civilians “back to the Stone Age.”

Bad news folks. Data centers have Always Been military targets.

Please please please knock out our data centers and kill all the consent manufacturing bots on our social media sites.

On some level I’m not sure I understand why all of these huge companies think they can contribute to the war machine in very meaningful ways while also rejecting all responsibility that would be connected to that. There might be something to say about this if any of them actually followed their “don’t be evil” pledges or whatever else, but most of them stopped.

Remind me why the US needed to go to war?
I would have thought that they always would have been.
If everything is suppose to run on them, what happens after they’ve replaced everyone, and then get destroyed?
Nothing will work, everyone suffers, and few people will be trained.

Well dang. Can they prioritize the social media servers like Facebook, Twitter and TikTok? Bring us back to the days before likes and views.
I’m sure trillion dollar companies can afford to buy AA to protect their assets.
10/10 best investment by Amazon leadership, boosting and glazing Trump
Maybe that will teach the likes of Sam Altman not to give money to autocrat regimes and build data centers in their countries 🤷♂️
As they should be. Knock out the places where all your computer processing and storage are happening. Sound military tactics.
I’m not a military strategist and even I knew this was the next thing.
For anyone who thinks there’s a coherent strategy here — read his own words day by day.
March 14: “Please help us.”
March 16: “We don’t need any help at all.”
March 16: “I was just testing to see who’s listening to me.”
