Big Microsoft Outage, via ZDnet Thu AM

""" An apparent Microsoft outage has impacted a slew of services, including Bing, the company's artificial intelligence assistant Copilot, ChatGPT, and more. Several Bing users reported earlier on Thursday that the company's Bing search engine was down. Those users also reported that they were having trouble using Microsoft's Copilot and ChatGPT's internet search. Microsoft has invested billions of dollars into OpenAI and the ChatGPT maker also uses Microsoft's infrastructure. The private search engine DuckDuckGo, which isn't owned by Microsoft but uses the Bing API, has also been affected. """ https://www.zdnet.com/article/a-massive-microsoft-outage-is-impacting-bing-c... Makes me nervous that DuckDuck is included. Nice that they clarified. The story does note further down that this outage is already in recovery phase... Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.

In Europe it was down all day, just started to work again few minutes ago. Same for DuckDuck and ChatGPT. Means total outage 08.00-16.30. Thats a long recovery time.

And many other Bing interfaces (called by their marketing "alternative search engines") such as Lilo, Ecosia, Qwant, etc. _______________________________________________ Outages mailing list Outages@outages.org https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages
