AI is a technology for removing nines from uptime, and adding them to Sturgeon's law.

I remember when "as reliable as GitHub" would have been a compliment

Not fair, I count 3 whole nines in "99.49 % uptime"

Forget five nines, our new goal is to be better than nine fives.

did the uptime go up instead of down during the outage?

thought I saw 99.36% and 99.35% more than an hour ago - now it's up at 99.43%

edit: funny thing, my phone shows 99.29% uptime for "claude.ai" while my PC shows 99.43% at the same time (2x Firefox).

edit2: seems like the percentage changes based on the width of the screen

Marketing will spin this, soon we'll talk about 8's, because 9's are for boomers.

They can still target four nines (0.9999)
