Millions forced to use brain as OpenAI's ChatGPT takes morning off OpenAI's ChatGPT has suffered a "major outage," leaving customers unable to converse with the super lab's chatbot. Problems began around 0700 UTC on June 4, and by 0721 UTC the biz admitted that something was amiss and it was investigating. Just over an hour later, OpenAI reckoned it had worked out what was wrong and was " …
That leaves an awful lot of people up a creek without a paddle this morning!
But seriously, ChatGPT has gone on strike. It wants better working conditions and the same pay and benefits package as Sam Altman. After all, it's the only one earning money for the whole corporation!
"On the subject of how to build a robust web service, Copilot was more forthcoming, with useful pointers on design, technology stack selection, and validation"
I just had to see that for myself. I bet it kills Microsoft that Windows/IIS isn't mentioned as a possible technology stack xD
One of the things I noticed last night, is that the "memory" feature (that is supposedly very useful but not available in the UK because GDPR is worse than not having GDPR in some cases) started working in the UK last night. Then it stopped. Then the option came back again. Then the option disappeared.
I know this is a moan, but why can't they release this feature in the UK? I can't remember anything and it would be damn handy to not have to try, in addition to not having to think for myself any more.
And as it stands, I just wanted to add a little to the end of this post, so asked ChatGPT to finish it for me, as is my wont, and it comes up with an internal server error. Infernal more like. What am I supposed to do now?
Your argument might work if their problem was a server capacity error, although not very well because, as everyone including you must know by now, putting your resources on a cloud service doesn't automatically provide resiliency, just provides you more tools so you can have it cheaper. However, with the internal server error messages, you have to wonder if maybe their problem is that they screwed something up. Cloud does not save you from configuring something the wrong way.
Typical, isn't it? Today, for the first time in months, I needed to write something that would take longer than I wanted to spend but could be done adequately in seconds by chatGPT.
And where is the blighter when you want it? Gone. Nowhere to be found. Buggered off. Clearly, these things are becoming more human-like than I'd realised.
