    So you are saying, there are humans in these facilities we could target to disable those systems?

    They decided to work for the clankers. They chose to be targets.

      Well a data center itself does not exclusively host the computing infrastructure used for ai.

      The components that run Lemmy live in a data center. The EFF hosts their content from a data center. Telecommunications that make up the internet host equipment in data centers.

          They typically don’t just build 'em for AI. Data centers are general purpose buildings. They provide power, cooling, security, floorspace. What goes into 'em doesn’t change anything. You can stuff computers in there that are used for cancer research, cryptomining, AI, ecommerce, it doesn’t matter.
