Overheard anecdote: Extropic's Guillaume Verdon reacts to casual social media banter joking about recurring AI compute shortages

😆💀

@steipete But as per official statement, does this mean GPT-5.5 might be disabled too? 👀😱

@vishalsingh2972 did they run out of compute again

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 no the government intervened lmao some company jailbroke it, even though literally every model can be jailbroken. Pliny jailbroke it day one.

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 nah trump was tired of seeing one-shot minecraft engagement slop on the TL

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 mine still running

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 Seems like the timeline for people to move completely out of the cloud and onto local models has been accelerated to ludicrous speed.

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 run out of compute but have too much drama. I am tired. Sigh

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 if @OpenAI truly had spare compute they'd send me some free ChatGPT Pro right meow

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 Anthropic about to snitch and get you guys shut down too

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 I’m wondering if this is what it actually was

Cursor at work has been pausing when trying to call fable 5. Unable to reach the model.

I bet this is closer to a real answer than some stunt they’re trying to blame on the government.

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 Still works in Canada

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 I don’t have a dog in this fight but

What a lame comment

So undignified

Leave the shit posting and humor to other people, you’re not good at it

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 😅

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 No, the literal US government did this

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 Pot, meet kettle

@steipete @The_Only_Signal @vishalsingh2972 With .gov covering for them? Let's hope not...

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 How's Stargate going

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 Theyre weird dude.

@steipete @vishalsingh2972 Probably
