So many startups and AI-powered features are simultaneously down right now. Reminds me of the early days of cloud providers.

Our new "24/7 AI News" product is still up! The only reason we're not five nines is segfaults because C++. https://fakeyou.com/news https://fakeyou.com/news Build your own rails and infra as a core competency. Know how to run and manage GPU workers. (Granted, we're not hosting our own video yet, but want to skip to WASM/WebGPU - we're hiring for this.) That said, OpenAI playground is such a big part of my exploratory workflow now, and my flow got interrupted. I've been taken offline and am now I'm in a Twitter / HN loop.

  I jumped on your site, a live stream started and some cat/Meowth like figure started talking about a delayed flight from New Zealand to "US" (pronounced "US"). Suffice to say, I guess we will be seeing an explosion of fake AI generated tutorial and "news" videos spoken by "AI" voices on youtube. :/ I guess it might be better than a tutorial video with a thick accent?

    You're absolutely right. We're putting the finishing touches on narrative and will have a completely retooled news station shortly. We can scale the shit out of this, and that's just my team. Cost structures of content of all types are going to zero. We can make music, change Taylor Swift songs to Beyonce, populate scenes with actors, ... This year is going to be weird and wild.

      This thread is very very deep in the uncanny valley for me. From the reduced availability because of segfaults, over the cats talking about flight delays to scaling the shit out of it. While, obviously, the website exists. Is this parody?

        Let's hope it and echelon's conversational style are parodies.

  Hey, I'm just a guy on the internet. I went to your page and noticed it jumped as parts of the page were loading. If you add a height to those divs that jarring jump is prevented. Also, video autoplay is a big no-no.

In fact, this is all what this so-called hype of chatbots is - sitting on someone else's API isn't revolutionary. > Reminds me of the early days of cloud providers. Reminds me of the monthly GitHub outages. If they still cannot reduce those outages after years since the acquisition, then I would expect OpenAI to experience frequent outages as well.

I can't wait till OpenAI Outages start to be used as the instrumental variable in studies of the effect of AI on different parts of society.

  same here, we’ll be watching for variations of avg humanity IQ, with very big differences between the impact on kids, adults and elders
