"Due to a cooling issue at CyrusOne data centers, our markets are currently halted. Support is working to resolve the issue in the near term and will advise clients of Pre-Open details as soon as they are available." - https://www.cmegroup.com/ & https://x.com/CMEGroup/status/1994258309784731926
"CME's daily traded notional exceeds $1 trillion across products, equating to ~25-35% of global ETD notional in key categories like interest rates (~$10-15 trillion quarterly) and commodities. Global ETD outstanding notional was ~$100-150 trillion in 2025, with CME leading in high-liquidity benchmarks." - Grok summary
Insane that cooling in one data center can affect this much, and no more than two sentences is the only status update for almost 6 hours.
I guess we’re not getting the full Cloudflare-style post-mortem on how one chiller took down the planet’s risk market.
Picture your PC as a cheery little planet in the EU’s cosmic backwater, sipping a digital Pan-Galactic Gargle Blaster. You download Pangu Pro MoE, hit “run,” and expect to chat with an AI wiser than Deep Thought. Instead, you’ve hailed a Vogon Demolition Fleet. Your machine starts moaning like Marvin with a hangover, your screen spews gibberish that could pass for Vogon poetry, and your poor rig might implode faster than Earth making way for a hyperspace bypass.
The fallout? This AI’s sneakier than a two-headed president—it could snitch to its creators quicker than you can say “Don’t Panic.” If they spot your EU coordinates, you’re in for a galactic stink-eye, with your setup potentially bricked or your data hitchhiking to a dodgy server at the edge of the galaxy. Worse, if the code’s got a nasty streak, your PC could end up a smoking crater, reciting bad poetry in binary.
