The highly anticipated release of Hollow Knight: Silksong has caused online gaming stores like Xbox, PlayStation, Steam, and Nintendo eShop to crash due to a surge of fans trying to purchase the game, leading to widespread error messages and frustration among players.
OpenAI is working to resolve a widespread outage affecting ChatGPT and related services globally, caused by elevated error rates and latency, with full recovery expected in the coming hours after initial disruptions lasting over 12 hours.
ChatGPT, the AI chatbot developed by OpenAI, is experiencing issues with an elevated error rate, causing it to fail in delivering responses to users and impacting those using its API for their own chatbots. OpenAI is investigating the problem, which is the second time in two days that the company has reported such issues. This follows similar problems last month and a denial-of-service attack in November.
The latest version of the Linux systemd project, version 255, introduces a new component called systemd-bsod that generates a full-screen display of error messages when a Linux system crashes. Similar to Windows' Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), the Linux version will also include a QR code for easy information lookup. While this feature is currently listed as experimental, systemd is widely used by major Linux distributions, making it likely that most Linux users will eventually encounter this new feature.
OpenAI's chatbot ChatGPT is currently experiencing an outage, with users receiving error messages when trying to access the platform. The company has identified the issue as being related to database replicas and is working on a fix. This comes after a previous outage earlier this month caused by a DDoS attack. OpenAI has been facing a tumultuous week with departures and scrutiny following the removal of its CEO.
