      Yeah if you’re just robbing them then the equipment itself is probably worth more than scrap metals. Harder to fence, maybe.

        Just to qualify your point some more: Vera Ruben doesn’t even fit in standard racks. Its all esoteric ewaste to anyone who doesn’t want to hallucinate.

          yeah but only back to the players in the AI club.

          Though, stealing their shit and selling it back to them for 20c on the dollar would be hillarious.

          Second time around, just take the DC hostage and ask for them to pay up to avoid you ripping it out just to buy it back.

    As part of my job I have been to data centers for housed servers a few times. Even tho I just saw like 2 or 3 ppl working there, they had tight security. I had to show ID, be on a list and got a visitor lanyard. There were security cams. Also there was a gate that only let you in when the receptionist/guard buzzed you thru. They had free ear protection available. The lanyard would only let you open the heavy metal doors where your servers are and a room with some terminals I didn’t need to use. No windows.

    I think you would’t make it to the devices before the cops arrive.

    Maybe a long term infiltration strategy could work, but even if you pull it off, I doubt it’s worth the hassle.

      The big red key opens many doors, fed boy.

      That and gasoline and matches are cheap. Just start in the generator room, where the diesel is.

      I’m pretty certain 5-10 people with intent could make sure a DC gets razed.
