Github outages will probably get worse.

If it optimizes itself away because it’s suboptimal, that wouldn’t be the worst outcome. ;)
I would assume that shortly after, the solar system will be hyper optimized as well, then the milky way, then the local cluster, and so on. Everything will be close to optimal afterwords, and I sure hope we will have specified the target function for that optimization correctly in the single attempt that we will have had.
