https://x.com/SpaceXAI/status/2095597264043717014 > We are sorry for the issues you may have experienced with Grok following an outage at our Memphis compute center this morning. We’d also like to apologize to our impacted compute partners.

We know that at least Anthropic is renting inference from xAI but I think the other ones would be news.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I mean, you're not wrong, but by that logic we were done for even before we had digital computers.

And isn't that the great lesson of AI? The things we say publicly actually do matter and the post-modern descent into absurdity and nihilism has tangible negative consequences?

Certainly

You mean breaking AIs? Not much of a lesson.

Why Reticulum when we have IP?

Read the Zen of Reticulum and you'll understand the point.

That sounds rather tautological. If you can't even articulate the virtues in your own words

Think of it like one big distributed system. OpenAI is down, so people migrate to Claude, now this one gets overloaded and goes down, etc. So not a coincidence, one went down first and users migrated causing further DOS. At least that's my guess.

Is this speculation or is there a reason you believe this?

https://status.x.ai Claude and Grok are down at the moment too, related to SpaceX datacentre issues? Either that or it's judgement day...

> SpaceX datacentre issues?

This should be at the top. This is the first remotely plausible theory that has any sort of evidence behind it.

Cloudflare, Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud all have a similar uptick in reported errors around 7:30. I suspect an outage on Cloudflare or another load-bearing service cascaded through all the major cloud providers. https://downdetector.com/status/cloudflare/ https://downdetector.com/status/windows-azure/ https://downdetector.com/status/aws-amazon-web-services/ https://downdetector.com/status/google-cloud/

The internet is not supposed to work like this. The network was designed for robustness and fault tolerance, which allows it to reroute data if parts of the network fail. Why are we all depending on one entity for it all to work? Makes me mad.
