Prepared a presentation for months to hold in front of my entire company. Has been down since 9:21 German time. Had one of the worst nights of my live. Now we had to postpone the presentation by two weeks.

I wanna hit someone right now :'(

It’s down for me here in Japan (17:50 local time), too—web interface, Mac app, and iOS app.

Well now you learned you should always record demos. Live demos are always going to fail.

Maybe it is related to them updating the backend to support GPT-5 in production. I appreciate these downtimes should be planned, but since it's OpenAI, this may be it. One can only hope, though.

In general I agree with you, but sometimes the “live”ness of demos is essential. I’ve given quite a few presentations about LLMs over the past year and a half, often to audiences unfamiliar with or doubtful about them. Being able to have on-the-spot, unplanned interactions with an LLM has been very useful for showing listeners that they are not just preprogrammed algorithms.

But I’m giving another demonstration in a couple of weeks, and this time I will be ready to show not only ChatGPT but also Claude and Gemini. And I’ll have some previously prepared examples ready in case the Internet connection goes down.
