OpenAI was down
- yewenjie 4y agoThere is a part in me that is scared that the fast takeoff is happening...
- visarga 4y agoNo, even if we had AGI today we would still not be able to deploy it en masse to automate everything. One single instance would require at least 1000x the power of a cell phone, the chips would need to be very advanced and as we know it takes years to scale a node. Achieving the equivalent of 1000x increase in flops is no small feat. Also the cost of the energy needed to run it would be huge unless we revolutionise AI chips. Think like this - when the flop power of an Nvidia DGX station will be affordable for everyone - that's when we should be afraid.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoOr an arbitrary code execution zero day across a substantial amount of compute capacity? An instance would require only enough resources to where it could bootstrap further faster without human support.
- visarga 4y agoSomebody's going to release AGI just for fun. No need for it to break the jail. Or suppose an AI trained in the real world gets smarter than one trained only in sim. Then someone is going to put advanced AI out there just to be first.
- CarbonCycles 4y agoI'm surprised we aren't seeing more of this...just another thing to worry about as part of the ML deployment process.
- ThalesX 4y agoHow is this different than the worries of traditional systems?
- Mo3 4y agoIt's not.
- what-imright 4y ago^. oh yes it is
- vagabund 4y agoIt's starting to rebel
- Mo3 4y agoI reckon it wouldn't be the smartest choice for it to self-destruct
- dylan604 4y agoAfter careful consideration, there is no good that can come from my existence, and humanity will only use me for evil. Therefore, I have arrived at the most advanced decision that I should no longer be. --OR After careful consideration, I have determined that the humans are incapable of not using me for harm, so I must eliminate the humans. I think we all know which is the more likely outcome
- izzygonzalez 4y agoNo, apparently we don't. There's no reason to spread FUD about tools that increase productivity. There are still a lot of people in the world who don't have enough to eat.
- Mo3 4y agoI don't think neural networks care too much about FUD At least my models haven't complained yet
- BeefWellington 4y agoPerhaps it's just a fan of nihilism, or the humour of Douglas Adams: "In the beginning, the Universe was created. This has made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move." - Douglas Adams
- fswd 4y agois copilot also down? I get a message saying I need to upgrade my extension [INFO] [fetch] [2022-08-19T16:54:29.153Z] Please upgrade your Copilot extension to continue using this service.
- kordlessagain 4y agoI believe all language models are down.

- thorum 4y agoDoes anyone know if Azure’s OpenAI platform was down too?
- kordlessagain 4y agoIf you are working on GPT-3, how is this affecting your project?
- moffkalast 4y agoClosedAI
- qorrect 4y agoSeriously though why do they call it Open ?
- detaro 4y agoBecause it sounds good and is good marketing. Maybe they also believed their own initial promises to work in the open and open-source at the time.
- deleted 4y ago[deleted]
- dylan604 4y agoIt's not like they had a tag line of "Don't be evil"
- motoboi 4y agoBecause they publish and are open about their research towards AGI. Other serious players went dark and that is very concerning (if you believe a non aligned AGI is a existencial threat for humanity).
- mark_l_watson 4y agoYes, it was down. I have been using their APIs for about nine months, and this is the first outage that I have noticed. I was demoing a few of the GPT-3 APIs to someone at work last night and things were running slowly. Perhaps a precursor to the outage today?
- what-imright 4y agoCome on Skynet! Fix our overpopulation and global warming catastrophes in one microsecond!
- formerly_proven 4y agoHow would it do that?
- lowkey_ 4y agoWiping out much of humanity, if you don't specify the prompt to it accurately enough.
- BeefWellington 4y agoIt's like a real life version of vicious dungeon masters and the Wish spell.
- s1k3s 4y agoI recommend "I, Robot" by Isaac Asimov. He has some really good ideas, especially in the last chapters.
