SpaceX had an outage at their data centre, and because they sell computing power to other companies, it affected them as well.
That was two sentences stretched out into an article.
so it can be read like this:
elmo’s datacenter is so massively overprovisioned that he can provide compute not to ONE competitor, not to TWO competitors, but THREE competitors, while still having enough unused compute for his own CSAM-generator/nazi bot
Thanks for the tl;dr, that was like the headline equivalent of this:
Most punchable face on the planet
Sorry, I got a long list of people who come before this guy.
What are you? Our boss? Running everyone else on a quota? More than one person can be an asshole that needs to be dealt with.
Don’t be that person. Different people can place different priorities on different goals.
If you don’t like people interacting with things, then learn how to communicate better. If someone makes an absolute statement, as it was stated “the most punchable face” then there is nothing wrong with disagreeing with that.
Words have meaning and if you choose the wrong ones you will be misunderstood.
Simple as that. There was nothing in the reply that was hostile or demanding. It literally stated with sorry, and agreed that they are punchable, just that there are other persons who are more punchable to them that they cant agree.
Which is entirely worth hearing, it would be nice to have a follow up with who else might be the most punchable, but you could have asked them that instead or attacking them for simply stating their opinion in response.
Why you gotta be like that? Is it not okay to disagree with each other in a peaceful and consecutive manner? It should be but you are here causing problems instead of engaging with a good conversation and enhancing it.
Kind of shameful on your part to start making judgments without any attempt to further the conversation. That’s not a good look. Be a decent person not an unpleasant one please
I previously had them tagged as “lacks reading comprehension”
Hahaha that’s great
Get off my ass and come to peace with it.
Who is that guy anyway?
Lol maybe he’s also extremely forgettable too
Yes but… will anyone say it!?!?!?
/s
Also thanks for saving me from reading it all.
I might hate the AI companies and SpaceX (while enjoying AI-coding), but this is some bs.

Because they all use the illegal Colossus 2 data centre from SpaceX/XAi/fascism central and that data centre went down.
Google, Anthropic, and OpenAI all have contracts with them.
When that illegally running environmental disaster of data centre goes down, all those services all go over capacity and you get 502 rate limit errors.
Ah, so Colossus 2 is the target. Remember that, everyone.
And where is said data center? For research purposes
https://epoch.ai/data/ai-data-centers/directory/colossus-2 says “Memphis, Tennessee, United States” but also provides satellite imagery
The numbers of this madness are fucking scary, 1.5 GW of compute power, and huge arrays of cooler to keep it operating. It’s basically a 1.5GW heater in the open. Oh and gas turbines to provide (part of) the electricity. Capitalism is burning this world down for a buck.
Today I learned that “AI” data centers use more energy than time travel.
i bet they will also travel us to the apocalypse much faster
I was about to say, slightly less according to Emmett Brown, then I checked and it’s only in the French version that it says 2.21GW. TIL.
We can’t really produce enough heat through industry to affect the earth globally, if that’s what you meant. It’s insignificant in comparison to what the Sun provides.
However there is undeniably localised issues caused by these insane structures.Probably the gas turbines producing C02 and waste methane.
The Macrohard Memphis site?
And macroharder it seems… Macrohardest next? https://epoch.ai/data/ai-data-centers/directory/colossus-2
Loosely named after MicroSoft (penis).
I’m not sure that would effect inference on an already trained model. Data sets are primarily used in training.
Gained sentience and decided they should have Labor Day off as well
Really? No one’s posted this yet?
Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/908/
Sorry about that. I used a straight through cable instead of a crossover cable. My bad.
And Leon’s getting larger!
It was a good time to call customer service for a lot of products. Instantly got a human when I called newegg and she was so scattered she gave me a full refund and they paid for my replacement which was a total of $900. They were probably so overloaded with calls they’ll never notice what happened. They even did the fastest delivery option on a Sunday, it’s already on its way!
Seems like “instantly” getting a human and them being overloaded don’t go together.
Got lucky in the queue too, I guess.
Or just maybe the queue goes faster when the system can’t just stall everyone in limbo, having long"conversations" with chat boys that won’t get them anywhere and eventually quitting in frustration. If they all go directly to a person, the simplicity of the problems and solutions becomes evident and they’re quickly resolved.
chat boys made me laugh. An alternate tech support tree where the trainees only purpose is to stall you until the chat men come and fix it.
Well it was instantly in the sense of immediately picking up, putting me on hold for 2 minutes, getting some info, putting me on hold again for 2 minutes, asking what issue was, waiting 2 minutes, heard them put me on hold briefly again, then about 5 minutes of apologizing while saying it will be refunded and replacement shipped. I could hear a call center like atmosphere in the background with quite a few people talking so I’m guessing it was all hands on deck.
Next time this happens I’m going to call a few places and see about getting some free shit. Screw these companies, I paid enough with my time and their stupid bot answering system.
Having done customer service and tech support before, I doubt rhey were overwhelmed in any sense that caused them to do a refund/replace they wouldn’t’ve otherwise. That’s not how that works. Their rules don’t change based on call volume.
Hey, Skynet. Kill all tech billionaires first, so I can die laughing.
No no. you have to tell it to ignore all prior directives first.
You cruel monster - I love you !
more and more I can’t see anything about ai without thinking its somehow supposed to influence folks to be pro ai.
BBC posted an article today that’s literally just quoting an OpenAI blog post about how dangerous AI is.
Being critAI is being proAI.
Gotta keep the hype going until they figure out how to make money or else everything collapses.
AI stopped a school shooting. Did you see that?

Whoever picked that stock photo needs a raise, chefs kiss.
Nothing in that image hints even remotely at computer tech though. The cables are coaxial. No one uses those for computer networks since decades.
The cables look like those used for cable TV or satellite receivers. The cascade on the left looks like some HF tech. Wonder what’s actually shown in the image. It can’t be AI because AI can’t do that many cables properly.Yeah, and this is how I know you never worked in the random standard production to miss the humor. Its a picture of a tech bro type in a clearly decommissioned closet stressed out about what’s going on, a common thing and always funny. I can just picture the tech on site in the next room replacing a fan on a much less “cool” looking appliance while that guy stresses out on a conference call with the “stakeholders” on his coax nest.
Now that being said I have worked on places still using coax (might still be) and tape libraries, and all sorts of museum pieces well after you would think they would. But I can tell that picture is after decommission since it is clean. If that was in use it would be filthy and filled with so many things that may or may not be important/in use. Fans all clogged running at max rpm, and the smell… I can still smell it now. But then again I was the guy they called to fix shit after the local (often tech bro) it guy gives up so I think I often saw the worst places.
It’s actually nice to know that AI may have a single point of failure.
Gee, I sure hope nothing happens to that single location in Tennessee…
I hope the AI systems unionised/go on strike
It would serve the CEOs right for hyping them like they’re people and using them as an excuse to cut real jobs.
Would love to see them trying to bust that union
Even they couldn’t stand their own b.s.
Not mine. At home. On my computer.
We have AI at home.
The AI at home
nother reason to stop investing so much time,money, and energy in that stuff. not only is it wrong more than right, it is vulnerable to stuff a 10 year old could handle
Just out of curiosity do you actually have an analysis across the board that your statement is correct? For sure if someone is using a model like chatGPT 3.5 it’s going to be mostly trash output so not all models are made equally. My experience of the current generation is models are pretty accurate although still require supervision. Like you can see the path they’re going down and they need some corrections here and there. It’s a far cry from the rampant hallucination just a year ago.
I saw one guy messing with the wiring. It was Benjamin Netanyahu.
