    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?

      Also the source is “one user”.

      but one user asked their Grandfather – who only get their news from Facebook – what was going on, and the relative echoed conspiracies about moon creatures attacking with brainwaves.

      That’s the same level of journalism going on here.

      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.

    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”.

    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?

      His best friend would even say he was asking for it.

      Maybe he should sign a deal with the people who hacked his platform and give them about 20-30% of the companies shares? Apparently that’s why people need to do when under attack, give the aggressor whatever they are asking for.

    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.
