Dammit, how do I do internal announcements in slack without a DALL-E picture?
Is dall-e down as well? I don't use it through chatgpt.

Re: Major outages across ChatGPT and API
#123Lots 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.
The app maker can screw the plug-in author at any moment.
For general cloud, avoiding screwing might mean multi cloud. But for LLM, there’s only one option at the highest level of quality for now.
People tend to over focus on resilience (minimizing probability of breaking) and neglect the plan for recovery when things do break.
I can’t tell you how weirdly foreign this is to many people, how many meetings I’ve been in where I ask what the plan is when it fails, and someone starts explaining RAID6 or BGP or something, with no actual plan, other than “it’s really unlikely to fail”, which old dogs know isn’t true.
I guess the point is, for now, we’re all de facto plug-in authors.

> 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)
he didn't say ethernet or wifi, he said internet. as in when the next big solar storm hits earth

edit: so, cool thing: cached queries on Phind will show all the followup questions visitors to the URL enter. That's so cool. And horrifying. It's like back when Twitter was one global feed on the front page. I doubt that's intended behavior since this URL is generated by the share link. Be forewarned. -- Here you go: https://www.phind.com/search?cache=nsa0xrak9gzn6yxwczxnqsck
It seems like this page is updated with the followup questions asked by every visitor. That's an easy way to leak your search history and it's (amusingly) happening live as I'm typing this.

It's like storing actual knowledge of systems and tools in your head has value.
There is too much for one person to store. And too many benefits from the intersections possible in vast stores of knowledge to focus on just what will fit in one head.
Re: Major outages across ChatGPT and API
#130It's at least nice to see a company call this what it is (a "major outage") - seems like most status pages would be talking about "degraded performance" or similar.
Most services have a lot more systems than OpenAI and thus it is degraded performance when a few of them don’t work. Degraded performance isn’t a good thing, I don’t understand the issue with this verbiage.
