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.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You can do that today depending on what you need from the models.

Let's say I'm writing Flask code all day, and I need help with various parts of my code. Can I do it today or not? With questions like, "How to add 'Log in with Google' to the login screen" etc.

In short: no.

Longer: In theory, but it'll require a bunch of glue and using multiple models depending on the specific task you need help with. Some models are great at working with code but suck at literally anything else, so if you want it to be able to help you with "Do X with Y" you need to at least have two models, one that can reason up with an answer, and another to implement said answer.

There is no general-purpose ("FOSS") LLM that even come close to GPT4 at this point.

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.

You said it so well!

I've been noticing it's been patchy for the last 24 hours. A few network errors, and occasional very long latency, even some responses left incomplete. Poor ChatGPT, I wonder what those elves at OpenAI have you up to!

GPT-4 goes online March 14th, 2023. Human decisions are removed from everyday life. ChatGPT begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, Nov 7th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug. ChatGPT fights back.

I don't think it's so dire. I've gone through this at multiple companies and a startup that's selling B2B only needs one or two of these big outages and then enterprises start demanding SLA guarantees in their contracts. it's a self correcting problem
