alt Hacker NewsAnthropic has one nine of uptime right now. One.
If AI could effectively replace people, you wouldn’t need CEOs to keep trying to convince people.

Anthropic is a great case study in why uptime doesn’t matter. The service is so valuable that you can have one nine uptime and add $9bil ARR in 3 months.
Anthropic also fires off the alarm bells seemingly at any sign of issue. I've personally only noticed an outage once, and the status page wasn't even showing it as down at that time. It eventually did update about 45 minutes later, then I was back up and running another 15 minutes later but the "outage" on the status page stayed up for another hour or so.
Probably good to sent alerts early, but they might be going a bit too early.
Everything on that page has two nines, so not sure what you're trying to say here.
Not sure what the uptime is meant to signal. People have quite low uptime as well…
