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 :)

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

I like how it doesn't recommend itself but instead recommends "Microsoft's Bard" and "Google's BlenderBot" as alternatives to ChatGPT

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 sourc…

Retrospectively, a lot of the comments you made could also have been said of Google search as it was taking off (open source alternative, SETI-like distributed version, copyright on data being the only blocker), but that didn’t come to pass.

Granted the internet and big tech was young then, and maybe we won’t make the same mistakes twice, but I wouldn’t bet the farm on it

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.

>distributed training networks

Now that's an idea. One bottleneck might be a limit on just how much you can parallelize training, though.

Does anyone know of any IVR (interactive voice response) systems that are down? I know some people were claiming to outsource their call center (or at least Tier 1 of their call center) to ChatGPT + Whisper + a Text to Speech engine

The AI “apocalypse” that has been feared may end up being something more like a mass outage that can’t be fixed fast enough

Or can't be fixed at all because all of the people who built the AI are gone and all of their replacements relied on the AI to tell them what to do.

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

Phind seems to be down

"The inference service may be temporarily unavailable - we have alerts for this and will be fixing it soon."

> 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

I mean, if internet "internet" is down then society has collapsed and your job is probably gone anyways
