Free market at work. Nothing to see here.
Big truck for one stick of RAM
good on them
Not all heroes wear capes.
Actually I kind of hope they did
Old and busted: Software piracy
New hotness: Hardware piracy
Rob GPUs from the rich, give GPUs to the poor
Lol, rob gpus from the rich to sell gpus to the rich.
I love boosters two
They’re not even useful to anyone else.
What’s the melt value tho?
We had hardware piracy back in the day, when there were CPUs you may have been able to unlock extra cores on.
Then the companies started lasering them off so that was no longer possible.
$1.3 million
“Just installed 37,000 TB of DDR5 to my rig.”
It was only 1.3mil in memory l… So by delivery truck did you mean 1 small FedEx blister pack?
GTA 6 mission leak
Sad that they got their shit back.
Really disappointing to hear that the equipment was recovered.
That RAM won’t work in my gaming PC!
Looks like most people in here both, didn’t actually read that everything was recovered, and also don’t understand freight theft.
You love to see it.
Unfortunately, with the state of this country I could also see aggressive militarized private security getting more popular around this shit.
The Arasaka and Militech corpo future is closer than 2077 it seems
Look into the history of the Chiquita banana company. We already been there a while now.
Mike Pondsmith’s Cyberpunk series actually started in 1988 with the first version of the TRRPG set in 2013. Arasaka was around then. Armatech-Luccessi International, which became Militech after rebranding, was a corpo in 2013, just in a different capacity at the time.
In 1990’s Cyberpunk 2020, set in 2020, both corpos had been fully established as very powerful, separate entities.
So, Mike’s seen this coming for a while. There are so many parallels from our current timeline and the fictional one in the game, it’s scary…
Honestly, there is a big turn in sci Fi when we moved towards neoliberalism.
It’s almost like in the 70s and 80s a lot of it became dystopian or fantasy.
Avarice as a prime motive does not make happy stories.
Just waiting for Trump to invade Panema and bring about the final collapse of the US.
Given that only another AI company could possibly be interested in AI chips perhaps we could spark some sort of war between two rival groups. Could be fun.
Oh boy, just what we need, corpo-wars to go along with the nation-wars.
It would be nice to see them hurting each other instead of the general populace, but we all know that they do collateral damage to innocents even when weapons aren’t involved.
The neat part about America is anyone can own militarized private security gear and weapons
Plot twist: the thieves were from Nvidia, who is going to give a credit toward the stolen hardware to Open AI and Anthrophic, who’s then going to lease the stolen hardware from…
It is going into cartel data centers!
Fuck yeah, keep it up. If we cant have the hardware neither can they.
