a lot of folks talk about burning down ai datacenters, and like. ok so we get the desire but think of this in terms of resources. some weirdo with too much money bought a bunch of useful minerals and turned them into a giant monument to mans hubris. obviously since it's killing the environment it has to go, but burning it down just makes those resources less useful and causes even more emissions.

what we're saying is, dismantle the ai datacenter piece by piece. rip out the circuits and wires and piping and everything. heck, steal the friggin land it's on and occupy it so they can't build another one. 

ok some of this isnt quite as feasible but you get the idea.
burning it down just gives them a chance to make another one in the same place and makes it so *nobody* can use those resources. 
obviously u gotta do what u gotta do, but we think it should be a last resort
