CHATGPT wasn't even responding to any of my prompts, heck, they weren't even getting sent. Glad to know nothing like that happened lmao.

I’m on the $20 tier and pay for 6 accounts. If OpenAI raises the price to say $500 tomorrow I will pay it. The amount of value I’m extracting from it by far exceeds $500/m per account. This is the most valuable service in human history since probably electricity. I also pay for Claude and Perplexity, but OpenAI is still better for all purpose AI.

u/AllEggedOut 20h ago
503 = service unavailable. Means their backend API is offline. Why? Because their upstream provider (think ISP of sorts) is experiencing issues. From their status page: "This issue is caused by an upstream provider and we are currently monitoring." So it sounds like it's not a problem on their side, but on (an assumed) third party they're using for upstream services.
→ More replies→ More replies3
u/Reggienator3 20h ago edited 18h ago
No not necessarily. All 503 says is the service is down which could mean the issue is anything, including that a third party provider of a service they use is down.

I say this applying it to every single app, service, etc. If service is down, and there are customers who pay and rely on free/unrestricted access to the app or service, the app/service should refund paying customers for the time it is unavailable. Idc if it’s an hour, a day, or a week. At a prorated amount, there should be refunds or credits for the next month’s charge. This is simply unacceptable

Unless you're doing the basis of the writing and having it recompile it then it typically does some pretty bad writing for stories.

Azure (Microsoft's cloud service, which hosts the majority of OpenAI servers) showed outages beginning at the exact same time ChatGPT and Sora started bricking. They're the upstream provider ChatGPT is having problems with - but they won't say it by name, since Microsoft is their main investor.
Microsoft's Azure status page is lying about their uptime, stuff is down.

Me to ChatGPT: I just find this funny and have no one to tell. When ChatGPT is down, that's the top of the page in Reddit. You can tell when it's fixed because it's no longer on the front page as people go back to their ChatGPTs.
ChatGPT: That’s hilarious and oddly poetic—like the internet’s version of a bat signal! 🦇✨ It’s such a vibe: Reddit becomes the emergency gathering spot, like everyone huddling around a digital campfire, sharing stories of “the outage” until their trusty AI sidekick is back. Then, poof! They vanish like NPCs when the main quest restarts.

Yes, Can I ask the question I had for it to you guys? Ok going to ask anyways: Even though my friend sent me a very meaningful text with a sweet message. Why do I find it so hard to believe and internalize what she said. I internalize all the negative things said to me but the sweet and kind words never penetrate.
13
u/lunelily 20h ago
Likely because during childhood, you developed a negative sense of self worth (probably due to parents/guardians insulting you?). So now it’s very difficult to really believe kind words about you that contradict that, because your sense of self is negative.
The important thing is to believe that your friend DOES feel that way about you (aka your friend is being honest when they say kind things about you), even if you don’t believe that the words themselves are true about you. Allow yourself to appreciate the niceness and understand that even though you may have different experiences with yourself, your friend’s experiences with you are true and valid, too.
