    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.

        Impossible to know.

        There are systems for doing things cryptographically secure, but I don’t know much about that.

      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.

          Considering which country is better at building power stations, that’s a fascinating dichotomy.

          The US going for brute force when the brute force is more available in China… Priceless irony.

            China doesn’t have the near the amount of compute resources, but they can run less efficient servers for cheaper, so it’s a wash.

            Always ready to try brute force first. And then some other, less palatable options if that doesn’t work, like slightly less brute force.

      I’m not sure that would effect inference on an already trained model. Data sets are primarily used in training.
