And he wants to make a payment system to rival the likes of Venmo et. al.?? LOL.

X's official support channel, which has been dormant since August, has so far remained silent on the outage, but one user asked Grok—X's chatbot that provides AI summaries of news—what was going on, and the chatbot echoed suspicions about the DDOS attack while raising other theories.

That's not how LLMs work... Why is Ars endorsing that brain-rot?

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 hours ago

It is when it comes to Twitter. They've tinkered with Grok to block reality to better suit whatever Musk believes is true.

That's probably the closest to support/press there is from that shit hole.

(us giving energy to Anonymous)

He's already spinning some yarn that it was Ukraine. I call bullshit.

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 hours ago

The guy is 99% bullshit. This is like calling water wet.

[–] DogEarBookmark@reddthat.com 4 points 3 hours ago

X hurt itself on confusion

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 4 hours ago

Whatever effort it took, whatever the cost: it's worth bringing Twitter down just to take away Elon's ability to tweet, even if it's only temporary. I'm sure the tantrums must be epic.

[–] ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world 95 points 7 hours ago

Musk calls it a "massive cyber attack".

I call it "systemic infrastructure and personnel losses caused by the malignant narcissistic man-child who is running the company into the ground".

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 73 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Just get "big balls" to fix it

[–] masterofn001@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

It's probably.some of his enemies that are part of it.

There's a good article out there about a thing called com. A haven for.hackers of the criminal variety. He was not in good standing.

[–] MutilationWave@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago

Your reply got hacked by the period boys.

[–] limer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 6 hours ago

Is there.. is there a go fund me the attackers? Asking for my cousin’s ex girlfriend’s dog

[–] mesamunefire@piefed.social 54 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

If only he didn't get rid of all the senior engineers that worked on the platform.

How is he going to be president and keep Twitter up and running at the same time?

[–] roz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

The answer is simple. MORE FIRINGS

[–] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 3 points 3 hours ago

That's a pretty good idea. Musk is a fan of Roman history. Do a Decimation Elon! Fire every 10th developer! That'll bring the system back up!

[–] JuxtaposedJaguar@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 hours ago

The firings will continue until quality improves

[–] DogPeePoo@lemm.ee 34 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

So he’s not smart enough to prevent it.

[–] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 10 points 5 hours ago

And probably fired the people who were working on preventing this

Quite literally my response when I walked past the TV with news about it, lol

[–] nodiratime@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Will someone please think of the Nazis 🥹?

[–] singletona@lemmy.world 15 points 6 hours ago

I am. I have the following card to give them.

[–] singletona@lemmy.world 16 points 6 hours ago

I agree. Musk has been attacking twitter's infrastructure and employees since the purchase.

[–] PeteWheeler@lemmy.world 8 points 5 hours ago

Reddit told me Anonymous is taking credit for it. Wonder if it is true or not. Either way, I do hope this is an attack on him.

[–] zarathustra0@lemmy.world 16 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

It's not massive, it's just average sized.

[–] Ghyste@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

That's not what she said.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

Well NOW how are nazis supposed to be publically racist?

[–] Gigameister@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

Guy took his eye off da ballz

[–] grumpo_potamus@lemmy.world 5 points 6 hours ago

...and nothing of value was lost

[–] regrub@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Will they blame the cyber attack on DEI or Biden?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

That Biden guy has a lot of free time on his hands now. I bet he's built some gnarly botnets. Someone should look into this.

[–] Viri4thus@feddit.org 1 points 5 hours ago

It must have been the Russians /s
