The CEO of Ryanair making a quip that French air traffic controllers go on strike "because it's a Tuesday" got warm giggles from the audience. So that's the vibe at the AI Summit taking place during a public sector strike and which afforded all of 5 mins of speaking time to 1 rep from a trade union.

All three Yandex AI supercomputers are reportedly offline: Galushkin in Vladimir, Chervonenkis and Lyapunov in Sasovo, whose data center shut down after the Oct 8 strike.
Yandex Cloud outages also threaten thousands of Russian firms relying on it for websites, databases and payments 👏

Asked about the US strike on a school in Minab, Iran that killed 123 children, Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar blames "human error" rather than Palantir's AI. He then complains that "Targeting is kind of this very salacious word."

Something very on the nose about this btw: the same day sector workers go on strike because the government wouldn't take their request for fair pay seriously, said government is at an "AI summit" jerking off tech executives, even as they cut jobs in this country left right and center

Even this tactic led to a collapse at Moscow airports. But this is only the beginning of Operation M&Ms, sources told The Atlantic.
According to them, a more ambitious version involves the use of AI-controlled drones that would bypass air defense systems and strike airports directly.

Bombing a Russian data center spewing Nazi propaganda has to be the most popular possible military target- uniting pro-Ukraine, anti-AI and anti-Nazi voters in one strike.

Fantastic summary of “the AI problem” by @doctorow.pluralistic.net: it’s not the technology, it’s the bubble. The bubble is predicated on and fueled by the companies selling your boss on your expendibility.

True, but AI actress Tilly Norwood WAS confirmed killed in the strike.
Y’all, I hate to rain on the dead bot parade, but the Yandex data center destruction doesn’t seem to have significantly impacted social media bots. I made temporal graphs of X posts about AfD around the time of the attack and there’s no sign of a sudden dip or residual impact on that conversation.

The biggest news of the night was Ukraine's 3rd strike on a Russian data centre.
All have been Yandex centres, which is kind of the Russian equivalent of Google, with apps such as Yandex Pay, Maps etc.
Also, Ukraine has now hit the 3 Yandex 'supercomputers' developing AI.

Ukraine shows us clearly that the “AI will kill us” problem can be solved with a simple drone strike:
And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services.
Twitter must be a ghost town by now.
