Why paid users like me should suffer because OpenAI decided to give voice services to millions of people, without having resources for that? This is shameless:

We're experiencing exceptionally high demand. Please hang tight as we work on scaling our systems.

Another OpenAI outage. Just as frequent as GitHub outages. [0] Before, I would have recommend [1] to contact the CEO of OpenAI for support. It turns out there is no CEO to contact this time until this chaos is over. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38237794 [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38191468

In the last 10 years I personally can't remember a single time I wasn't able to access GitHub. On the other hand, in a single year using ChatGPT as a paid customer I experienced a countless outages.

Likely connected to the fact that they released voice chat for free users an hour ago. https://x.com/openai/status/1727065166188274145 Assuming these two things are related, if I may editorialize just a tiny bit, I am a little annoyed at how much their rollouts often disrupt service for paying customers. Paid users being impacted by free user rushes really sucks, but is understandable. API developers being impacted b…

Same - frankly, it's crazy how often the service is interrupted for paying users.

What is annoying is this isn't just ChatGTP but the whole API. I was just getting ready to deploy the an assistant based chat bot when this happened. It underscores the importance of designing systems that fail gracefully when a service is unavailable.

Apologies for the disruption, would love to hear feedback in the meantime on the Assistants API and how you are liking it!

I really like it so far.

My only gripes:

- Sometimes it can be a bit rough getting it to call my functions with the correct data.

- It sometimes won't try to search my files and makes up it's own answer (even though the correct answer is in the files)

- The outage, of course.

But I've mostly worked around that through creative prompts.

Who fixed it?

You win the thread. Finally working as intended. Perhaps now people will use their brains more, instead of relying on stupid chatbots.

As someone with a diagnosed mental illness (ADHD), chatgpt has helped me more than adderall (prescription scheduled 2 stimulant).

As skeptical of web 3.0 stuff (crypto, nfts etc) as i usually am (just like yourself), chatgpt/llms seems like they have actual value (the valuation might be bubble but should revert to a positive average unlike nfs after the hype wears off).
