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.

Thanks for the tl;dr, that was like the headline equivalent of this:
Yes but… will anyone say it!?!?!?
/s
Also thanks for saving me from reading it all.

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.
Not mine. At home. On my computer.
We have 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

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.
Does that mean Musk's businesses have access to everything people do on the systems that use their data centers?
Generally no, because most hosting companies would have something baked into SLA/SLO contracts, but all of this shit is done so illegally and shadily now, I wouldn't put a hard "no" on that possibility.
Nobody can verify that those "contracts" are actually being honored. We are all assuming the fascists will self police themselves out of good will.

Reading that article was a waste of time
more and more I can't see anything about ai without thinking its somehow supposed to influence folks to be pro ai.
Gotta keep the hype going until they figure out how to make money or else everything collapses.

Sorry about that. I used a straight through cable instead of a crossover cable. My bad.

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...
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!
