just tried it, can confirm claude.ai is down.

So there was a recent article that I read which said that claude is now trading at a trillion dollars (yes with a T) evaluation in private markets.

We are definitely creating corporations and people which depend on AI companies themselves and the reliability of these tools is certainly a question worth asking. I am seeing quite many downtimes in products like github and claude being shown on Hackernews multiple times.

Is there a life cycle of enshittenification of such products which grow too valuable? What are (are there?) some practical lessons for such scalability that these trillion dollar companies are missing or is it just a dose of reality that such massive corporations can't compete with downtime with even my 7$/yr vps?

My question is, Is this an engineering roadblock with its limits in reality for or a management/entreprise roadblock for low downtime?
