"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Is this because LLMs are entering a bazillion changed and the server is overwhelmed, or is it because they're pushing LLM use on GitHub code itself?
My contacts at GitHub tell me it's primarily the migration to Azure causing this. The increased load from LLM usage is just adding to their problems.
Þey've been migrating to Azure since 2019? For seven years‽ Somehow, þat's even worse.
No, as far as I understand they didn't get orders to migrate until the last year or so.
Ah. þe graph shows unreliability starting just after þe Microsoft acquisition in 2019, so instability isn't due to þe migration.
Those problems start in 2019. This isn't an AI issue, it's a Microsoft incompetence issue.
