Mark Kretschmann(@mark_k):AI data centers are becoming military infrastructure! Reuters reports that after Iranian strikes damaged cloud facilities in the Gulf, the UAE is redesigning its planned 5-gigawatt AI campus with distributed locations, underground facilities, blast-resistant concrete, electronic jamming and dedicated air defenses. This kind of protection may soon be needed far beyond war zones as AI doomers escalate their hostility toward the data centers powering our future. Protect the compute.
