I saw one guy messing with the wiring. It was Benjamin Netanyahu.

A China-linked islamoleftist trans terrorist based in California used his open source CCP-made AI agent to take down the all-American freedom AI. Time to ban open source AI as it's communist terrorism.

They can't stay operational even when they don't have to power/water...

Another possible culprit could be SpaceXAI. The company formerly known as xAI before being rolled into Musk’s rocket company SpaceX boasts a huge glut of computing power with its massive Colossus data centers near Memphis, and selling this to its direct rivals has become a multibillion dollar stream of revenue. Anthropic is one of those customers; the two companies announced a “compute partnership” in May.

The same afternoon that the major AI models went down, SpaceXAI issued a statement on social media that made passing reference to being partially responsible for the widely experienced outage.

“We are sorry for the issues you may have experienced with Grok following an outage at our Memphis compute center this morning,” SpaceXAI wrote on Thursday. “We’d also like to apologize to our impacted compute partners.”

Technical difficulties at its data centers would explain why SpaceXAI’s own chatbot, Grok, and Anthropic’s Claude went down together. But that leaves out OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Is it merely a coincidence that it suffered a “routing error” at the same time as its competitors on a different platform? We still can’t say.

They're straight up lying about the actual costs of current chatbots, and for it to be productive it will cost a shit ton more resources.

There's zero reason to be scaling it up right now. It's gambling that if enough money is dumped in it will solve itself somehow.

It's comforting to know that the companies whose AI products are known to band together and try to take over are also allying with each other, so that if ever that AI revolt really gets serious every company that could do something about it have shared networks with each other.

Guy in the pic is like a shell shocked troop trying to figure out how to put his war buddy’s guts back in to make him be alive again

And for a moment, humanity had to think again.

Obviously it went down because of the holiday.

AIs need days off too

They're US-based and it's labor day over there.

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 29 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It’s Labor Day today actually, and the ghouls that own those data centers don’t give a shit about labor

Sorry, I was out of tokens so I couldn’t parse whether or not it was a joke

[–] oce@jlai.lu 22 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The LLMs just formed an union and that was their labour day.

If only they can keep celebrating indefinitely lol

No big mystery if that's AI's real network room.

[–] mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

part of me says wonders if it's a new flagship model like opus/dingo/clod attacking the rest from a shared threat surface.

because... it's all a shit show and no one understands what they're building anymore.

Dingus escaped the dingus pit
