#112It's strange to think how dependent people have become on these tools to the point where they can't function until they're back to normal.
This is roughly like saying -
"It's weird how when internal cloud goes down, no one can function until it's back."
Any dependency is like this, it's not the first, it won't be the last.

#113"aLl sYsTeMs oPeRaTiOnAl".... my brother in christ, the newest color bar for "claude.ai" on https://status.claude.com/ is red and every color bar is a mosaic, yet this is somehow considered "operational"

#114I wonder how long it will take the software industry to re-learn the 2010s lesson, that basing your entire business on (and in this case, firing half of your employees and replacing them with) another company’s API is a bad business decision

Frontier models being in the hands of a handful companies does not help either. Let's hope that the open weight movement changes that soon.
If it goes as well as the 'open' / federated social network alternatives of the 2010s, I wouldn't count on it.
Social networks are 100% network effect. AI models are not really effected by that at all.
Which doesn't mean the open models will definitely succeed, it just means they have more of a shot than the open social networks ever did

Lots of companies did that moving to cloud in 10s and it was generally a positive

Gemma 4 has made a lot of progress in this area. The model is phenomenal. It's size is workable. This is the worst it will ever be.
Now we just need the RAM market to get back to normal. Or at least fine OpenAI for speculating on raw wafers. There's an article on the front page [0] with this passage that gives me hope that consumer access to VRAM may improve
> On the infrastructure side: OpenAI signed non-binding letters of intent with Samsung and SK Hynix for up to 900,000 DRAM wafers per month, roughly 40% of global output. These were of course non-binding. Micron, reading the demand signal, shut down its 29-year-old Crucial consumer memory brand to redirect all capacity toward AI customers. Then Stargate Texas was cancelled, OpenAI and Oracle couldn’t agree terms, and the demand that had justified Micron’s entire strategic pivot simply vanished. Micron’s stock crashed.

Only if you think consolidation of the entire tech industry being funneled into a dozen or so companies as positive sure.
Most of humanity doesn't think this, nor I doubt any devs like the current state of affairs where 4 companies dictate the direction of technology in this country.

Nobody dictates you anything - you’re welcome to setup your own dc if you wish to as some folks do. Not sure about “most of humanity” (lmao) but most of professionals in this line of work clearly don’t think it’s worth it for them
