Azure outage
Even they couldn’t stand their own b.s.
Gained sentience and decided they should have Labor Day off as well
Not mine. At home. On my computer.
We have AI at home.
The AI at home

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.
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.
Who is that guy anyway?
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
Get off my ass and come to peace with it.
I previously had them tagged as “lacks reading comprehension”
Hahaha that’s great
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.
There has always been slop before AI slop.
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.
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.
Reading that article was a waste of time
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
Threat level ding-dong
Send more investor cash asap

right? we can’t control our shitware and it got out and attacked xyz, don’t you think that’s awesome and a major selling point?
they’re not self aware, the altmans and darios - are they?
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
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.
AI stopped a school shooting. Did you see that?

BBC posted an article today that’s literally just quoting an OpenAI blog post about how dangerous AI is.
Being critAI is being proAI.
Good, gives people a chance to use whatever is left of their brain at least for a short while.
Really? No one’s posted this yet?

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