    Exactly. If I modified my water meter to hide my usage, or tapped my neighbor’s pipes, I’d go to jail. This data center needs to be shut down and the owners investigated and charged with felonies.

      Yeah, but you see you’re not cooling millions of dollars of GPUs so someone can make AI generated tits or cheat on homework. That’s a public service!
