These problems predate ChatGPT. Their API has been on the market for nearly 3 years. And they raised their first $1B in 2019. That's plenty of money and time to hire capable leader…

If you're subscribed to their status page, you'll know it's actually unusual for a day to go by without an outage alert from OpenAI. They don't usually write them up like this but …

Have to appreciate the irony of someone's SEO spam submission (submitter works for a company selling scraping services) being SEO spammed in the comments... >Thanks for the links. …

Wow, surprised to hear this happens to other people! When I discover a new song I love, I'll nearly always have a night where I wake up with the song blaring in my head. Even if I …
