If we don't build an AI data center on that child, China will. So totally justified in my opinion.

For some reason, it's the "only child" detail that got me.

People are always blaming Altman for this kind of thing, but to be fair, it’s actually all his fault! Dude’s a true piece of sh1t 💩

I'm pleasantly surprised it wasn't a new golf course for the president being built on top of Billy

Healthy children are a great power source and sick children are a great heat sink.
This solution brought to you by AI.

can't wait for the headline "Data Center Deconstruction; Child's Remains Found Underneath Sever Farm!" just give it a few years.

Seems like a waste, there's perfectly healthy kids you could build those ontop of!

Don't worry about Sam. It's not like he'll hire a assassin to murder you and make it look like a suicide then buy all the cop's & prosecutor's off so it's never investigated…😂

This is not funny.

This is truly Pythonesque.
It makes "grafting a pederast onto an Anglican Bishop" look like child's play…
Wait! That's not what I meant!

When I read the title I thought they were litterally going to built a data center ON TOP of the sick child

It is such a tragedy that AI crash will have to be fixed by democrats, like 90% of all right wing economic disasters they had to fix.
And GOP's deplorable voters still won't learn a damn thing.

This is after OpenAI tried to build a datacenter at the bottom of the ocean, on the Sun, & on KSI's forehead. Next, he'll try to build a datacenter on a horse skeleton that's orbiting Mercury. Sam Altman's a madman!
