Update: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/microsoft-outage-affects-bing-copilot-duckduckgo-and-chatgpt-internet-search/

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

Looking forward to the Kevin Fang video covering this in a few years.

Still down 2 hours later. Guess AI has taken over Microsoft you guys. The robot uprising begins…

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?

Using SearX instance and cannot find bing results 🤨

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.

Thank you, tried to go to Anna’s archive for 15mn without success

Do you have any bread?

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?

Was about to post something about it… Apparently I’m one of you guys :'(

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

dude wtf I ran into this earlier when I went to go search up tips on how to learn to wipe my own ass for the first time as an adult and couldn’t get any results… what’s the point of a privacy search engine when you can’t even use it when you need privacy?

Startpage doesn’t seem to be working for me.

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
