Has anyone else pretty much stopped using AI at this point? The only thing I use it for to help generate README's or Javadocs, and then heavily edit them. I had it in my workflow and it burned me so many times I just went back to google and stackoverflow.

I use it quite often. But just small stuff like simple automations, userscripts, docker config that sort of thing

My auth token expired and when I type /login in Claude Code it leads me to a webpage showing: OAuth Request Failed Internal server error

I just managed to log in to claude code. You have to spam the login when you recive the screen with authorize press on it multiple times. you will recive errors than try again i have tried like 70 times and it started finnaly

it worked for me as well, thanks

Is your brain still up? I don't get this voluntary reliance on so-called AI.

"Use" != "reliance"

(There's actually a nuanced conversation to be had on this - but from your tone, I'm not sure that's what you intended)

If LLM use were as valuable as the adherents claim it is, this news would be on par with AWS US East 1 being down. LLMs neither have the mechanical reliability we expect from computers (does it the same way every time) nor the flexible reliability we expect from biological intelligences (solves or works around the unexpected sub-problems as they arise).

It also happened during the night/non-working hours for people in NA so that has something to do with it.

It is very easy to switch. Today I got things done with ChatGPT. If I didn’t have any LLM available only then it would be disaster.

What a weird top comment. It opens with some subtle name calling ("adherents"?), an unwarranted conclusion and then a statement about what LLMs lack (which is no surprise) that we're meant to draw a conclusion from? I find the debate about LLMs rather exhausting. I find them useful and almost every day someone on social media tells me I'm mistaken, lying or merely deluded .

Or you are working on easy things, or my favorite incompetent.

I'm actually working on something moderately hard but I am admittedly slightly incompetent.

I wonder if it's coincidence: today Anthropic mailed out all previous customers of Claude offering a free monthly of 5x Claude Code if they sign up again.

Plenty on Reddit saying they did. And I did.

Could the outage be a the result of an "unexpected" surge in account activations / use?

Not much of a "welcome back" ;-)

If I have a question for SO these days then I ask Claude instead and tell it to use SO where possible. It's preferable to actually asking it on SO which often results in the question being edited, downvoted and closed by someone with an anime child profile picture.

What was the question like? "How to print a decimal in C"? Valuable questions aren't downvoted. If you ask about something that could be found on the first Google page, then no surprise you are being downvoted.

I asked a novel question, well-written and clear, and a "subject matter expert" decided it was too similar to another question (it wasn't), so they defaced it, downvoted it and closed it.

Stack Overflow is dying, it's extremely difficult to get new questions through. Even if they survive moderation then they're unlikely to get answers.
