2026-09-03: It turns out 40% of global AI token use was coming from a dozen runaway Gastown and Wheelhouse instances, now burning a combined 50 trillion tokens daily, building a virtual society of hundreds of millions of agents.

I am a paying chatgpt and codex user and I am logged in on multiple devices and suddenly https://chatgpt.com/ has started returning a raw 404 status page with no HTML for me in the browsers on all devices.

MCP client for `codex_apps` failed to start: error: unexpected server response: HTTP 451: {"message":"no_biscuit_no_service"} Quick! Someone call a caterer, This AI needs a biscuit NOW!!!

It'll start throwing HTTP 418 soon

The obvious question: is there a single point of failure / common piece of infrastructure involved with failures across all these providers? Its interesting that codex/gpt-app are screwed because their APIs (including auth) fail, but gpt web still appears to be working.

The boring question is whether there is a claudeflare issue impacting them all. The fun question is whether this a rogue AI taking control of the compute of all of the organizations.

My money is on the wholesale paperclip market exploding next week.

On the other spectrum, shortest JS fizzbuzz (62 characters): for(i=0;++i Anyone can beat it? (any language accepted)

you can flip it and save a few bytes, but not valid fizzbuzz then:

for(i=100;i--;console.log(i%5?f||i:f+'Buzz'))f=i%3?'':'Fizz'
