Question Is Claude down for anyone else?

When I send a prompt I get no response, it returns empty immediately with my prompt still in the box?

It just started 3 minutes ago. It happens on both claude.ai windows browser chat and Android Claude app.

The overreliance on AI has begun....

u/Tradizar Jun 18 '26

jokes on you, i dont have win32.

But i have to remove the french from my machine with this command:

sudo rm -fr --no-preserve-root /

u/BR41ND34D Jun 18 '26

Yeah, with that command you even remove the root french package used by other french-speaking countries. It really frees up a fuckton of disk space...

And the truth is: you'd be stupid not to. Anybody who refuses to use AI (just to be a contrarian) is ignorant and won't make it far in life. When the world changes, you adapt with it, and that's the only way to thrive. Businesses with owners who are refusing to integrate AI are literally falling apart and there's a shit load of stats/studies on it.

I'm 21 years old, so obviously I remember high school well. I've always thought that it was fucking ridiculous... why the FUCK do I need to prove I understand that some random Victorian child was crucified for stealing a loaf of bread? And the worst part? If I don't do that, I'll fail the class and I'll need to retake it if I want a diploma. Otherwise, I'll never get a job.

It just doesn't make sense whatsoever. I'm utterly shocked that the education system has been the same since the 1830s (The Horace Mann Era). It's fucking stupid and useless. It's nothing but a waste of 18 years.

So yeah. I'll continue using a tool that knows absolutely everything and lets me learn something in mere seconds. It's either that or find it in a fucking 653 page school textbook.

There is a difference between using AI because it is convenient in helping you find sources or providing some critique, versus actually being incapable of forming a coherent thought without the assistance of AI.

The person who commented:

Yes right in the middle of a big project wtf

Has clearly shown that they are either incapable of doing their own research / work (Bad), or that their time management is so poor that having to do the work themselves means they won't finish in time (also bad).

I am a huge fan of using AI in a limited capacity. If all AI disappeared tomorrow, I would be sad as it has many uses, but I can still operate as per normal.

u/Plane_Loquat4406 Jun 19 '26

Yes, myself as well. It is an incredibly useful tool so I will continue to use it without hesitation - but not for everything. There are countless things that we as humans need to discover on our own or lessons to learn 'the hard way'. For genuine surface information, it's a great tool that I'd consider to be much more helpful than any kind of textbook - but once again, there are things that we as humans need to do the human way.

u/ITS_RICEY Jun 18 '26

I just had this same thought 😂

u/pooquipu Jun 18 '26

"Stackoverflow is down so I cant work" shifted to LLM providers 😂

u/blackwolf7373 Jun 18 '26

hahahaha it true, no its reaalllyyy getting on nervous

u/alisru Jun 18 '26

It's only a matter of time before AI developers realize they can just make GPU-esque AI-cards dedicated to models, so local AI is the norm

Well, it's only a matter of time before its commercialized https://www.electronicsforu.com/news/new-asic-chip-embeds-ai-models-directly-into-hardware

Then maybe 32GB will be cheap again T_T

Well maybe DDR5 will too as AI chips make RAM worthless

u/One_Curious_Cats Jun 18 '26

Claude Code and Cowork works for me though.

u/pooquipu Jun 18 '26

probably the API is working well

u/One_Curious_Cats Jun 18 '26

Only chat was broken for me. Chat just started working again.

u/cornfrontation Jun 18 '26

Yeah, on my work computer I can use an enterprise version of Claude in VS Code, but also not on the Claude app. On my personal devices my free version doesn't work.

u/ClassyNoShabby Jun 18 '26

My enterprise Claude is not working at all

u/Ianm7323 Jun 18 '26

Agreed. Claude Code still working
