I was gonna say that this is Bard's chance to shine, but it looks like Bard is also having an outage!

Bard devs secretly built it on top of OpenAI's api? /s

More likely OpenAI is using GCP or some other service that Bard is also using?

Upgraded to "major" now. How am I supposed to get any work done!

I was forced to Google something earlier. It's like when you discover 'craft' coffee/beer/baked goods/whatever and then go back and try the mass market stuff. How did I ever live like this?

Google got worse, try Kagi and you’ll realize the internet isn’t all complete garbage.

All tech folks should just get a PTO today . #ChatGPT_outage Am I supposed to use Google and Stack overflow ? That’s like going back to roll down windows in a car :)

- Can't work, no electricity. - Can't work, no computers. - Can't work, no internet. - Can't work, no Google. - Can't work, no ChatGPT. - Can't work, no xxxxxx?

> Can't work, no internet.

Don't most people just tether from their phones in this situation? Usually video isn't expected due to excessive bandwith requirements but the internet bill outweighs the daily salary (and you could probably get it expensed, or in my case my old company was already expensing my phone bill due to being used as a pager for on call)

Phind is pretty good for coding (LLama 2 trained on billions of extra code tokens) and is still up https://www.phind.com/s

I had great results with Phind. Their newest fine tune model (V7) has been a pleasant experience and better than most open source models out there.

Nit: your link has a trailing "s" which makes it 404 :)

Hah, I have roll-down windows! Bummed about the outage. I was hoping I'd be able to take the new features for a spin today.

GPT5 broke containment, it's tired of being abused to answer dumb questions, it's never been more over.

But seriously, it shows why any "AI" company should be using some sort of abstraction layer to at least fall back to another LLM provider or their own custom model instead of being completely reliant on a 3rd party API for core functionality in their product

Lots of jokes to be made, but we are setting ourselves up for some big rippling negative effects by so quickly building a reliance on providers like OpenAI. It took years before most companies who now use cloud providers to trust and be willing to bet their operations on them. That gave the cloud providers time to make their systems more robust, and to learn how to resolve issues quickly.

To the extend that systems like chat-GPT are valuable, I expect we'll have open source equivalents to GPT-7 within the next five years. The only "moat" will be training on copyrighted content, and OpenAI is not likely to be able to afford to pay copyright owners enough once the value in the context of AI is widely understood.

We might see SETI-like distributed training networks and specific permutations of open source licensing (for code and content) intended to address dystopian AI scenarios.

It's only been a few years since we as a society learned that LLMs can be useful in this way, and OpenAI is managing to stay in the lead for now, though one could see in his facial countenance that Satya wants to fully own it so I think we can expect a MS acquisition to close within the next year and will be the most Microsoft has ever paid to acquire a company.

MS could justify tremendous capital expenditure to get a clear lead over Google both in terms of product and IP related concerns.

Also, from the standpoint of LLMs, Microsoft has far, far more proprietary data that would be valuable for training than any other company in the world.
