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
Whoever picked that stock photo needs a raise, chefs kiss.
Reading that article was a waste of time
Really? No one’s posted this yet?
Relevant XKCD: https://xkcd.com/908/
more and more I can’t see anything about ai without thinking its somehow supposed to influence folks to be pro ai.
AI stopped a school shooting. Did you see that?
/s
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.
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.
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.
Not true. I’ve been involved in litigation with both AWS and Google over unsecured comms that were defined as being TLS secured in SLA/SLO contracts and found not to be. Not that anything nefarious was happening necessarily, but the expectation is clear.
Whether these asshats even check for such requirements with a Musk run company right now 🤷
It COULD possibly be that they are logging every exchange happening at the network fabric between the service layers, but nobody knows unless they intentionally take steps to investigate or accidentally prove it.
I hope you’re right, but Elon don’t strike me as the guy whose most compliant to SLA, law, or anything else that might be an inconvenience to him.
He can’t micromanage everything and regular management will try to comply.
Executives are the biggest cheaters out there. They will only comply if it will hurt them if they don’t, and it’s won’t here, as long as the protection money is produced they don’t have to worry.
I highly doubt that he really knows that much, either.
I agree with that. But I think “the right” data scientists can infer too much from all those AI queries, and I think Elon can abuse that for his own gain.
Impossible to know.
There are systems for doing things cryptographically secure, but I don’t know much about that.
Cryptography? Security? FROM A GENAI COMPANY?!
Well yeah, for themselves
Homomorphic encryption? Much slower than “trust me, bro”.
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
It’s kinda surprising,
I know specifically where one of the big ones hosts its models and its not there, but I guess they could have infrastructure in there.
They’re oversold though, especially prompt caching and the parameter count war
The US model is that they think more training compute and parameters will result in the winning model, while the Chinese are focusing on RL and parameters efficiency due to compute limits.
The efficiency of Chinese models really is impressive. I generated sooo much code yesterday with Qwen3.6 35B-A3B running on an RTX 5060 Ti 16GB (+ a little CPU offloading). It got the jobs done at ~50 tokens/sec.
(It’s not super complex code, just some scripts that I would not have taken to time to write manually.)
I’d love to upgrade to something with more VRAM, but even my current card has doubled in price since I bought it last year 😬
Show me your set up!
Reads like American vs European/Asian cars
Always ready to try brute force first. And then some other, less palatable options if that doesn’t work, like slightly less brute force.
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).
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…
Sorry about that. I used a straight through cable instead of a crossover cable. My bad.
Aw maaaaan
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.
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
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 !
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.
I miss the days when you could laugh at this because it would clearly be satire that could never happen
Yep. The college I attend got hacked twice in a year. First time they went with “it’s maintenance” on a Monday at peak hours, you know like you would maybe do that at I don’t know? When everyone’s sleeping? The second time they fessed up and sent out text’s that they “fixed” the data breach. So yeah cool all the school email data is out there now; sucks for those that use that as their Microsoft computer login.
And for a moment, humanity had to think again.
I saw one guy messing with the wiring. It was Benjamin Netanyahu.
