Wouldn't that be good? I remember back in the day you could only get Gmail thru an invite, it was an awesome strategy. "Currently closed for applications" creates FOMO. They'd just need to actually get the GPUs in relatively short supply. They could do it in bursts though, right? "Now accepting applications for a short time." I'm not an internet marketer but that sounds like a win win to me. People feel special, they…

Yes, "Pepperidge farm remembers" is usually about how something used to be good.

Yeah, but there was a spoof on that (in Family Guy?). It was a tie in to the movie "I Know what you Did last Summer", IIRC.

Their issues seem to extend well beyond inference into services like auth.

Yes. Whenever these outages happen, it always seems that it's their login system that is broken.

That implies that either the auth is too heavy (possible, ish) or their systems don't degrade gracefully enough and many different types of failures propagate up and out all the way to their outermost layer, ie. auth (more plausible).

Disclosure: I have scars from a distributed system where errors propagated outwards and took down auth...

Seems to be a very regular occurrence starting around this time of day (14:30 UTC)... Claude Code returning: API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server error"},"request_id":"---"} Over and over again!

I tend to notice it around 4pm EST

In the case of Gmail that was fake scarcity. In the case of Anthropic is fake availability. Sam Altman explained the idea is to scale the thing up, and see what happens. He hadn't claimed to offer a solution to the supply problem that would unfold.

Are you mixing up Anthropic and OpenAI here?
