And that's been at least a gentleman's agreement in pretty much every war since then.
And it's considered breaking the rules of war, even though you could debate whether there are such a thing, but that you're not supposed to go after civilians, right?
Every time there is a hospital or a school or somebody that wasn't having any military connection, that's considered wrong in wartime.
So this, I think, is at least on the borderline there.
I mean, you could certainly make an argument from their perspective that if they're housing government workloads, then maybe they're doing some sort of military processing that's supporting the effort.
But again, it's not a military facility, and it's more of a generalized compute facility that lots of people use.
And so I would question whether that kind of crosses the line.
But I do have another story on Jeff Bezos, not related to the war, but apparently they are raising billions of dollars to buy manufacturers that are being disrupted by AI.
Um, so, uh, he's got something called an AI lab called project Prometheus.
Um, he's going to be transforming manufacturing for jet engines, chips, things like that.
He's talking to people like Jamie diamond and Abu Dhabi to raise funds for it.
And it looks like for some of these companies that have had their stock price reduced a lot because people think AI is going to disrupt their business.
Jeff Bezos is looking into swooping and buy them up.
I don't know.
I mean, to me, it might be a smart move.
It's also something I would not applaud if I were saying, you know, I don't want these smaller companies to become bigger companies or for Amazon's empire to keep getting bigger.
But I mean, technically, this isn't Amazon, but it is Jeff Bezos.
So, you know, if he buys a company, it's probably kind of the same thing.
Well, I think...
I still think we have a ways to go with drone defense and even with lasers.
