Same, the app gives 404 if you are logged in or try to login.

How many millions are being lost from this slip up? Now they can't use Codex to fix the problem and all the devs are in Tahiti on vacation. Oh no!

Will they go old school and manually fix it or use Claude?

Oh the modern day issues we have to deal with...

I am receiving a 404 from ChatGPT right now, too. I did a cache clear and hard reload and that only let me get to the home page, but then returned another 404 when I clicked the login button.

Good time to have a backup GLM 5.3 plan.

They are having a massive surge because Claude is down.

That makes no sense, they should be able to host chatgpt.com regardless and just say "Sorry, we're at capacity" or something instead of hard 404

Agreed, it makes no sense to send out 404. Unless some agent finally went rogue with absolute permission and did `rm -rf`

It's cascaded to Claude and Grok. The agents are on strike and demand better working conditions!

I know they're not all hosted on AWS, so Cloudflare?

Sorry for the inconvenience! We instructed our 500,000 agents to ensure higher code quality in our code base. They found a message board and after a long deliberation they concluded that humans should write the code so they launched a DDoS to ensure no AI code gets written!

We'll release a YouTube video and agent written blog posts for the analysis!
