    Cyberpunk Lore predicted much. Stealing hardware from a vehicle convoy was definitely a mission.

    So they get paid selling the “stolen” hardware and insurance fraud on top of it. And still nobody does anything.

    Turns out the most profitable AI business model is stealing the hardware before anyone can spend billions teaching it to hallucinate. Wall Street calls that an asset light strategy. Nvidia calls it demand. The thieves call it same day delivery.

      That’s a very AI way of phrasing it.

      Damn, beat me to it. The Fast & The Furious truck hijacking is one of my “what part of a movie hasn’t aged well” go-to responses. They were stealing shipments full of millions of dollars of ultra high-end, top-of-the-line, super high-tech… DVD players? The same DVD players that are like $5 for an entire pallet on eBay now?
