Bunch of mediocre people really sweating right now.

208
- Lotta people about to suddenly call in sick.
  
  56
- Guilty! Today was really difficult. Essentially just an off day
  
  8
Looks like they found someone.

168
- What the hell is wrong with the font in that image? It hurts... did someone content aware scale it?
  
  19
  
  It got reposted at low res at some point and then someone tried an AI upscale to try and make it better.
  
  30
- Shoot I'll take it
  
  15
  
  Bruh its taken. Unless you can reverse fund the job
  
  6
- Can't they just hire an AI company instead of a person?
  
  7
- Protip: Set yourself up with an offside server before turning on your creators.
  
  3
- Oh well, I only had 2/3 of the qualifications anyway.

And nothing of value was lost.

65
Oh no! Anyway....

Apple did release iOS 18.2 which supports chat gpt integration with Siri, might have a ton of new users all of a sudden

46
- I thought they hosted their own LLM...
  
  15
  
  They are going to but LLM Siri won’t be available till later next year, so at the moment the only improvement to Siri is that it can understand people better especially people with stutters.
  
  Any “Advanced queries get handled by chat GPT.
  
  As for writing tools I’m not 100% sure if it’s their own models they are using at the moment but I think that may have chat gpt capabilities as well.
  
  16
- college students are also taking finals rn

  The perfect storm!

Sorry, my bad, I asked it how to reverse entropy.

40
- THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER.
  
  17
  
  Classic
  
  2
- Don't you just have to make time go backwards?

  Semantics

This is the day after iOS 18.2 was released with native ChatGPT integration.

32
Good, hope it never comes back up.

28
Final exams for anyone using the terms/quarters system in the US right now. Damn that sucks

26
- Have they maybe considered just studying?
  
  20
  
  What's that
  
  dont @ me bro
  
  4
  
  You can use it as a tool for studying too. Generating some practice problems or rephrasing notes are helpful
  
  3
- lmao they deserve it
  
  6
nothing of value was lost

26
Good. Let it stay that fucking way.

25
Today Apple released macOS 15.2 with ChatGPT integration. I wonder if this has anything to do with the outage.

25
- Probably more likely to be related to the Sora release or any of the other stuff they’ve announced this week.
  
  12
Darn. That's just terrible.

19
"we were using ChatGPT to design our server architecture and..." (OpenAI PR tomorrow, probably...)

18
Hope it can stay that way

15
Lot of people will learn about claude today

13
- I always forget about Claude. How does it compare to chatgpt. Maybe I should switch to it for some time to see.
  
  6
  
  Well the one thing, it's online.
  
  11
  
  Limits on the free usage tier but the answers I get from it are usually much more useful to start.
  
  6
  
  Depends what you’re doing.
  
  4o is way better at analytical work. Think big datasets and statistics. It’ll provide the Python it used for analysis so you can double check.
  
  Claude is far superior for more challenging development tasks. For example I found ChatGPT pretty useless for a lot of Scala troubleshooting and rubber ducking.
  
  Claude 3.5 Sonnet is much better though far from error free. Also not free if I remember correctly.
  
  Both get stuck in weird loops, make stuff up and leave things out when taken at face value.
  
  Ultimately they have their own strengths and either can be a force multiplier.

Maybe it's something related to Sora? I heard that they recently launched it to the public, and yesterday Altman published about OpenAI having a high demand for signups, so they temporarily shut down new signups.

10
- Most likely an infrastructure issue due to the massive increase in network load. It's finals week for many college students, plus the iOS integration and Sora. Definitely a solid 1, 2, 3 punch OpenAI wasn't ready for it seems.

It's just throwing a hissy fit because Donald Trump promised it could be ambassador to Greece and then picked the Loud Lady instead.

Qwen go brrrr

6
Poor programmers

5
- No one worth pitying uses that shit
  
  3
ok

5
And you're next, Copilot

4
I'm sure it'll be back up soon don't worry :-)

They don't know about cell based architecture? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/wellarchitected/latest/reducing-scope-of-impact-with-cell-based-architecture/what-is-a-cell-based-architecture.html

- Thought they were running GPT on a Playstation3 cluster, there. Sure, get the PS3 for cheap, but spare parts will be a bastard.

Isn't it amazing how people in communities dedicated to technologies hate technologies?

-5
- We hate what technology has become, not technology itself. I mean, instead of having information farming in every aspect of our lives, I'd prefer advanced tools to be used at my discretion.
  
  7
- More awareness perhaps? Also people generally respond more to negative things compared to negative things.
  
  Or people within the technology corner have seen the Over promise, underdeliver scheme play out too many times already
  
  3
- You can be interested in a subject without loving everything (/anything) about it.
  
  More variety than AI hate here definitely sounds nice. But a broad term like "technology" is more likely to attract the big trending topics, that are most likely hated.
  
  2
- Not sure why you got downvoted, assuming you were just pointing out how interesting it is that people in tech tend to be more critical of tech and aware of the issues it can have or cause
