Amazon usually has 3 AVs per region, looks like there are surviving AVs but the system didn't switch over gracefully.

I bet that was an interesting sev2 ticket!

It depends on the service if things move gracefully or not. The incident explains it's only EC2 (and dependent services) in that AZ, so if they try to route traffic for services hosted on EC2 to that AZ it's not working (and customers running instances in that AZ have lost access).

The other ones are not impacted. They always like to tell you to pay for more than one instance in different AZs so if this happens you don't get impacted.

I doubt that there is enough capacity to evict a full AV to another one.

I find it very much matters. I find Gemini better for pretty frontends, Claude opus for planning. Gemini and opus for code reviews. Codex is great when I want the LLM do follow instructions more strictly- good if you already have a detailed design.

Definitely depends on your use.

It's already happened in the Korean DMZ

Killing people has been legal forever. But you have to do it at scale for it to be legal.

The part about money

As time goes on RMS is only proven more and more correct

About some things.

It's almost as if he is giving them ideas.

You don't need modern ai for that, it's been done decades ago.

Modern tools lend themselves more to information warfare and deobfuscation.

The threat seems straightforward to me; information warfare.

Then the follow up question, how do you combat that? Not likely through developing similar technology.

How has the threat model changed?

Keep your shit patched. You dont need LLM targeting of Drone based weapons to patch your servers.

Amazing work! I look forward to an API if/when you release it!

My sister uses Gemini and calls it chat gpt. It's becoming a genericide.

I still think it's hilarious that a product name as awful as "ChatGPT" has become so ubiquitous.

I wonder what percentage of its users know what the GPT stands for, or even thought about it for a second?

I mean, how is it any worse than 'google'?

chatgpt is generic (as in, no prior meaning attached, except for the few people in the world who understand what GPT stands for). It's simple - even a non-english speaker can say it easily, and doesn't require one to be native to know how to pronounce it (this is a difficult concept for a native english speaker to grok).

These features makes for a good name.

It's very weird to pronounce it as a French. Either you pronounce it like in English with a thick French accent like "tchat' djee-pee-tee" or like in French as "tchat' jay-pey-tey" which sounds exactly like "I farted". This is really a terrible name in French.

while we're talking pronunciation I'm on an (entirely pointless) one man mission to have "lemon" stick as a pronunciation of "LLM".

"Google" at least doesn't have an acronym for "Generative pre-trained transformer" baked into it.

And many people don't know what Google stands for. Just like they probably didn't care what AOL stands for, or MSN

Even you agreed that almost nobody knows what GPT stands for - which means it's as random as any other three letter acronyms.

So i argue that chatGPT is indeed a good name (as good as google was).

Car brands are like that, does the average person know or care what GT, RX, STI, WRX etc mean?

I think car names like that are awful too.

(Clearly the car marketing world and the general public disagree with me there.)

My aunt calls it "chat", "I asked chat", which is funny to my online-brain. Like she's a streamer with a permanent audience of 1. Hey chat, is this real?^1
