Meta putting up tents across the US to house AI servers, like ‘a scene out of the movie Mad Max’ — structures take three months to build and use jet engines for power (www.tomshardware.com)

These "makeshift" structures are housing hardware that costs millions of dollars in total.

"Putting AI servers inside tents, officially called “rapid deployment structures,” is one of the more unique approaches to the AI build-out, Thomas said. They’re certainly not as sturdy as physical buildings made from steel and concrete, with one commenter comparing it to the “classic $10k racing bike with a $9 lock” situation."

I have been, by focusing on enabling team members to use it exactly like how leadership wants. You want them to use more AI? Okay… they need Agentic harnesses that can do work for them locally. They need MacBook Pros to run the models. They need cloud keys to test different frontier models for different loads. They need governance, observability, repeatability, scheduling, human-in-the-loop…

I’m going to show them that anyone can build a bridge, but only an engineer can build a bridge that barely works. On top of that, I’m going to show them that they’re wrong in believing they want a bridge. All it should take is seeing that they got exactly what they wanted without getting anything that they wanted.
