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 leadership.
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 I guess this counts as PII leak disclosure for them?
For having raised billions of dollars the are comically immature from a reliability and support perspective.
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...
Some of you may be too young to remember the context of this. In 1993, an American was sentenced to be caned for what would be considered minor offenses in America.
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 don't know the song that well, my mind somehow reproduces intricate detail and fills in instrumental or lyrical gaps. In my teens and 20s I had really severe ear worms, some lasting for days or weeks. Fortunately that has lessened with age, but the nighttime concerts are still a regular occurrence.
I love the innovation going on in the search space lately. Defaulting to a chat interface adds a lot of burden on your users (need to formulate a longer query) and yourself (need to nail the response in top1). Personally I think there's enough cool stuff in your grid/list views to make it useful without trying to shoehorn this into a chat UX.
I'm with you on this. I would love to be able to connect with ancestors I barely or never met, even if it only captures a fraction of their essence.
I worked on this for a while but Microsoft holds a pretty broad patent on this concept, which scared me off.
Parent of two long-time Montessori kids here. We have been through both public and private Montessori schools. Unfortunately, the public one did not work out because they were heavily constrained by the district's requirements, so the Montessori aspects were very watered down.
What I like about Montessori is that if a child finds a "work" that interests them, they can really focus in on it until mastery instead of feeling pressured to follow a specific curriculum on a specific timeline. I also like the de-emphasis on grades and testing. These are distractions from learning IMO. As for academic progress, one of my kids picks things up early and the other picks things up late. It just depends on the child. We aren't yet to high school, so I can speak to that transition. I'd be lying if I said it didn't worry me a little, though, mostly because I think of high school as a stressful place and my kids are currently in a very low-stress place.
"As agents were about to begin the search, Ms. Morgan and Mr. Lichtenstein said they would leave their apartment, but wanted to take their cat, the filing says. The agents allowed Ms. Morgan to retrieve the cat, which was hiding under the bed.
But as Ms. Morgan crouched by the bed and called to the cat, she positioned herself next to a night stand that held one of her cellphones, the filing says. She then reached up and grabbed the phone, and repeatedly hit the lock button in what prosecutors say was an apparent effort to make it harder for investigators to search the phone’s contents.
The agents had to wrest the phone from Ms. Morgan’s hands. Court records provided no further information about the cat."
Do you think she was trying a hard reset or something?
This started out interesting but strayed into rant territory pretty quickly.
"Tesla will be reporting earnings just as this article goes to publication today. But in my view, any “fundamental” news coming from Tesla’s earnings is rather meaningless. Why? Because we’re talking about a company completely divorced from any semblance of fundamental value."
