oh, ok.
That icon looks like a stylized asshole.
So does their CEO.
Go look at more AI company logos. Many of them look like buttholes for some reason.

First of many outages as they realize how much cash they are burning and can't stay afloat.
My company locked down our AI models to tech leads and chief engineers because the average user could save a lot more money by just using Google.
Oh noooo, oh god, oh gee, what are we gonna do?
I've never seen this in motion....
Good. Let’s hope it stays down.
OH NO!, Anyway...
Oh, well...
Rabbit: 2, spicy hay: 0!
Spicy hay got one point?
tf you mean "it's not just me" never have never will. Entirely local I'm good with, data mines run by racist pedophiles is a pretty easy nope for me. Can you say the same?
"it's not just you"? It's not even me. I wonder how many complaints there were - would be a good metric of actual usage
Kind of. As long as you understand that people like me exist.
I ordered a big mac from McDonalds one time. I got a chicken sandwich instead.
I was sitting inside. I could easily have went back to the counter and said something.
Instead, I just went with it. Guess I'm having a chicken sandwich today!
Now, that being said, I also don't use AI. So, I would have never noticed it being down. But hypothetically, if I tried to use AI, and it didn't work, I'd just do something else instead.
So it won't be the number of complaints = the number of users affected. But it does give you somewhat of a scale.
This is news? Am I just jaded by Anthropic’s uptime?
edit: the attempted funny is that Anthropic is down so often it’s hardly news.
Anthropic was also down today.
And Google had internal issues they didn't publicly report.
Yes, news. We regularly see "Twitter is down", "CloudFlare is down!", "YouTube was down for 93 seconds! Humanity is in danger!". Why not chatGPT?
Works fine here.
Stop encouraging it.
It’d be great if it didn’t though.
