Can confirm. I keep getting an error "Authentication service was unavailable. You can try again." However, logging out and trying to log in I just get the same issue.
This is why I'm local first. Local models are getting pretty capable for most tasks. I just worry AI companies are colluding to make hardware more expensive and force everyone on the cloud, but then this stuff will happen and worse.
Same. I am here in California, and I get the same "Authentication service was unavailable." Then I get redirected to a page that shows "Claude is temporarily unavailable."

Stoked that AI is in a place we have legitimate options available!
I'm paranoid enough to have the thought that it's shills trying to use HN's "hotness" downranking against negative publicity...
... maybe I'm too paranoid, but it feels like this outage has a lot more totally useless comments than normal.
I mean, there are some egregious examples.
"oh noo", twice.
"Hello!", being another..
Along with one new account asking "which local LLM is better"... twice.
