And by "rats," you mean me. Me and my crowbar are ready and waiting to get our hands on a bunch of abandoned server hardware, especially those racks and racks of hard drives.
Think of how much pirated anime you could fit a couple of those arrays!
I work in one of those AI data centers. Remarkably little storage. And the servers are astonishingly specialized for the job. Not to mention power hungry. I'd much rather have a gen10 Proliant. Or a few NUCs and a qnap.
They really don't need storage except for the models and training data right? And most of that isnt theirs to begin with so why store it?
The less you have, the less you are burdened by.
This concept also applies to nefarious or predatory activities in the name of big daddy dollar or count currency.
