Tinfoil hat moment: Altman panicked with all the money hemorrhaging and is trying new inventive ways to get money from the paid subscribers whilst drastically reducing operation costs. He pulled the plug for a bit.

"controlled blackouts"

Seriously though, why wouldn't that asshole try something like that? Soon enough it's gonna be a subscription-only service or you'll have to start "paying" in compute somehow and you'll get like 2400-baud chatgpt that'll take like 3 days to complete a request, lol

Then, he is a fool. LLM technology has no fence around it. You can download and run one on your own hardware. The only reason a person would use their service is convenience access to a larger model.

I wish nobody used terrible services when the only thing they offer is convenience yet here we are.

If we want a conspiracy theory, let us go for real:

he wants users to taste the feeling of not having access, then offering premium to 'stop living in fear of losing gpt'.

Oh and free tier will be gone soon^tm

This is just how businesses work. Thats absolutely the plan.

Conspiracies are outlandish. What you described is fact.

[–] msage@programming.dev 3 points 6 hours ago

I'm not sure you turn off voluntarily services as part of the plan.

Maybe there were just testing if fail over was working correctly when I turn off this machine. Well, in that case fail over didn't work xd
