alt Hacker NewsThis is not an outage, Claude just gets lazier on Fridays.
Sometimes Claude wants more lunch breaks, takes a half day and leaves the desk early just like any human would. (since AI boosters like comparing LLMs to humans all the time) /s

You joke, but I think that's a fair summary of why people don't mind one 9 of uptime in a key component of their development workflow.
If you're concerned about humans anthropomorphizing AI models, you might want to steer well clear of Anthropic, as their entire positioning (starting with the product name and continuing with UX choices and model releases) is built to attract the kind of researchers who are prone to believe in sentient machines.
They are going in the "Claude is alive" direction already and that line of communication is likely going full throttle in the nearby future.
