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.
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.
I highly doubt that he really knows that much, either.
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.
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.
Sooo… AI-liens? 🤭
AI-LMAO!
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.
