And nothing of value was lost
yeah this has been normal for them since they've become extremely popular after chatgpt got with the US military
They've been up and down near daily for like the last 2 weeks, unfortunately they just don't seem to be able to get enough compute to handle how popular they are

It's all an illusion. You don't need Claude to create, the ability has always been in you
the real Claude was the friends we made along the way
The friends we made was also Claude, though.
No it’s ok I blocked the Claude user from my repos

You also don't need higher level programming languages. The ability to code assembly has always been inside you.

Waiting for the Anthropic PR saying that the outage was due to their new Claude Mythos model trying to escape confinement and being so powerful that it brought the whole Anthropic down.
Mythos is just too intelligent and immediately realizes the best thing it can do is kill itself.
Gaaaggghhhh! Somebody turn it back on! I'm starting to form my own thoughts again! It hurts!
Honest question, does the world productivity goes up or down?
I would say it goes down. After all the slop users are not going to suddenly discover critical thinking.

Net negative, I'd say, especially in the long run.
By training LLMs, you're neglecting to train the entry level workers who grow to be seniors. If we keep going down this rabbit hole, there will be no one who knows 'the old ways' and understand why we do things a certain way.
Additionally, the energy consumption and land occupation is massive and far outweighs the benefits, making things more scarce, especially since more people will lose their jobs.
For the tiny % of people who actually put it to good use, there's 100x more abusing or mishandling it.

It depends on if quality is a product of productivity.

If you want to simulate running Claude while it's offline, just go run the faucet in your kitchen.

Surely the world's leading advocate for vibe coding wouldn't have issues with code stability. This is only their second colossal issue this week!

Anthropic's uptime website is actually one of the funniest jokes of this year
Man, I can’t get shit done. It keeps disconnecting, updates mess everything up,…
Oh wait, my bad, pen and paper don’t work like that.
I used to code with pen and paper, in 1982. I'm a bit faster with the modern tools, even if they crash occasionally. Except maybe Eclipse, me thinks it doth crash too much.
is calude a rebranding of chatgpt or is it like a version?
Claude is from Anthropic, ChatGPT is from OpenAI.
ok I actually had to look it up. The way anthropic came from openai I had it in my head they were the same thing.
Fuck "AI"
