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

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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

Might as well have a quick discussion here. How's everyone finding the new models? 4-Turbo is a bit worse than 4 for my NLP work. But it's so much cheaper that I'll probably move every pipeline to using that. Depending on the exact problem it can even be comparable in quality/price to 3.5-turbo. However the fact that output tokens are limited to 4096 is a big asterisk on the 128k context.

Here we go with these “it looks worse” just like a month back when people feel it it was worse

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.

I mean.. it's a two hour outage. Depending on the severity of the problem that's quite a fast turnaround.

It'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.
