So OpenAI has now inherited GitHub's streak of outages, thanks to Microsoft.

All this AI hype has amounted to a single AI SaaS going down taking all those sitting on the API with it, whilst also claiming to be an 'AI company'.

Oh dear.

So many startups and AI-powered features are simultaneously down right now. Reminds me of the early days of cloud providers.

Our new "24/7 AI News" product is still up! The only reason we're not five nines is segfaults because C++. https://fakeyou.com/news Build your own rails and infra as a core competency.

I jumped on your site, a live stream started and some cat/Meowth like figure started talking about a delayed flight from New Zealand to "US" (pronounced "US"). Suffice to say, I guess we will be seeing an explosion of fake AI generated tutorial and "news" videos spoken by "AI" voices on youtube. :/

I guess it might be better than a tutorial video with a thick accent?

That doesn't sound like a good thing? In fact, this is all what this so-called hype of chatbots is - sitting on someone else's API isn't revolutionary.

Reminds me of the monthly GitHub outages. If they still cannot reduce those outages after years since the acquisition, then I would expect OpenAI to experience frequent outages as well.

You're absolutely right.

We're putting the finishing touches on narrative and will have a completely retooled news station shortly. We can scale the shit out of this, and that's just my team.

Cost structures of content of all types are going to zero. We can make music, change Taylor Swift songs to Beyonce, populate scenes with actors, ...

This year is going to be weird and wild.
