Born too late to explore the world, born too early to explore the universe, born just in time to join a crew of road pirates!
Holy shit computer hardware road pirates in the year of our lord 2026. What a wacky world we live in

You have to steal the hardware IRL before you can play the game on it.
A new “back to the their roots” fast and furious movie. Instead of A/V gear it’s GPUs this time
Damn, beat me to it. The Fast & The Furious truck hijacking is one of my “what part of a movie hasn’t aged well” go-to responses. They were stealing shipments full of millions of dollars of ultra high-end, top-of-the-line, super high-tech… DVD players? The same DVD players that are like $5 for an entire pallet on eBay now?
How does the value of equipment nowadays make it not age well? They were still worth a lot during the time the film is set.
See it as a quaint historical drama.
Turns out the most profitable AI business model is stealing the hardware before anyone can spend billions teaching it to hallucinate. Wall Street calls that an asset light strategy. Nvidia calls it demand. The thieves call it same day delivery.

That’s a very AI way of phrasing it.
Admit it: you had fun with that
OP is an AI bot, so I doubt any fun was had.
Huh, checked out their profile and you might be right. Ironic that most of their recent posts are about AI
This is the kind of Robin Hood shit I can get behind.
Steal from people who not only increased prices for the common folks but can easily afford the loss. Give it back to folks who are just trying to live their lives.
Fuck AI.
I’m sorry, but this is not going to folks trying to live their lives. They couldn’t even use the specialized hardware.
I mean, it says the thieves are sending the hardware to China. That can mean anything from gaming black market to state-sponsored funneling of hardware to Chinese AI companies. It might be less Robin Hood and more… I don’t know, some Jackie Chan movie where Triads are operating in the US and working with a Chinese diplomat to help some mega-corp.
