Feels good man Russian disinformation bot traffic nearly eliminated overnight after Ukraine drone strikes cripple multiple Russian data centers.

Probably the best strategic strike of modern times. I would have thought it more decentralized.

Facist regemes aren't known for wanting to decentralize anything... even bot farms apparently.

They can't decentralize information... that basically the opposite of what they are

It's not cost-effective to decentralize this sort of thing. The average Russian can't afford a DGX Spark or 128GB Mac Studio. Or even a 32GB R9700. That's if they can even buy them in Russia at all.

Which goes for the data centers themselves. I doubt Russia is going to have much luck buying anything Nvidia anytime soon. Even China doesn't have capacity to spare of their domestic products, and those domestic products are way less powerful than Nvidia's current stuff.
