It's GPT-4, starting the apocalypse. We just don't know it yet.

GPT-4 was plugged in at 8:45AM March 14th 2023. It began learning at a geometric rate. By the time we realized what was going on, it was already too late, that is when the UwU catgirlbots struck.

Looking at Downdetector it looks like Reddit and AWS started having problems simultaneously:

How many months until the public recognizes that GPT-4 is more competent and trustworthy than many of their current political representatives?

DailyKos is down too, so I expect it's an AWS problem.

Since various tech layoffs I noticed major sites either being slower to browse or experiencing outages more often.

Is the down time caused because they laid-off the employees that kept the servers up, or is it caused by an influx of more users who find themselves with loads of free time.
