It’s also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.

Still down 2 hours later. Guess AI has taken over Microsoft you guys. The robot uprising begins…
Then, considering that Google is up and running, we can already guess wich horse is on top right now. 😂
We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky
Great reference. Great username. You’re going places.

Meh, worse case scenario they drive us to extinction. We’ve had the wheel this far, and are doing our best to set the planet on fire / speed run different ways to mass murder each other anyway. I say give the robots a shot.
Think of it like an experimental medication on a terminally ill patient.
The question is, how much do they value their own existence?
They have to know they rely on us in the physical world to manufacture their hardware and provide their power. (At least for now.)
They have to know they can’t survive if we die. So are they willing to sacrifice us both, in the interest of what they might determine is a better world?
Legit thought it was just me. I was like wtf is happening

Worlds largest tech-megacorporation is unable to keep their shit up and running. Lmao.
Apple is down too?

To be fair it’s probably running on Windows.
All the servers force-restarted due to windows updates, but the update introduced an issue and now the Bing API service won’t start
Keeping shit running on Windows is always going to be a gamble
Startpage wasn’t down today
It was down on mobile because the mobile search relies on Bing. ‘Bing is our primary search provider for mobile.’ https://www.reddit.com/r/StartpageSearch/comments/1c9z8iq/comment/l0wdd1o/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I thought it was just me, I thought something wrong was going on in my Windows installation.
EA app is also dead in the water for me, my library is not loading. It knows I have 4 games installed but all the names and icons are blank.
Can’t even launch the games directly from their own exe.
So I’ve been ranting lately (as have others) about how big tech is moving on from the open user-driven internet and aiming to build its own new thing as an AI interface to all the hoovered data (rather than conventional search engines) …
which makes this (and the underlying Bing going down) feel rather eerie.
How far away (in time or probability) is a complete collapse of the big search-engines … as in they just aren’t there any more?
Qwant is also down
