Reports are flooding in from around the world that OpenAI's ChatGPT has stopped working, leaving users frustrated and concerned. Down Detector, a website health monitor has logged hundreds of reports from both ChatGPT and GPT-4 users, all of whom are experiencing issues with OpenAI's service. The status page on OpenAI's website has acknowledged the problem, stating that there is an "outage on chat.openai.com" and referencing several other recent incidents.

OpenAI's newest AI tool, GPT-4, was launched earlier this month to great fanfare. The company claimed that the new technology was capable of handling "much more nuanced instructions" than its predecessor, ChatGPT. GPT-4 has already demonstrated its capabilities in a variety of tasks, including recreating classic video games in mere seconds and interacting with human workers to complete real-world tasks.

The rapid pace of technological advancement in AI has prompted concerns among some researchers that progress is accelerating beyond an exponential rate. Jack Clark, the co-founder of AI research firm Anthropic, expressed his concerns in a Twitter thread, saying that "the next few years will yield progress that intuitively feels nuts."

The current outage affecting OpenAI's services has yet to be resolved, leaving users uncertain about when they can expect to be able to access the company's chatbot again.

Kennie, a compliance officer who describes herself as a "career and life bestie," has shared her tips for saving £50,000 in four years, reassuring viewers that it's not as complicated as it may seem. In a TikTok video, Kennie revealed that she didn't do anything special to save money, but her method required consistency and avoiding "lifestyle inflation."

She shared a three-step strategy that she used from the age of 21 until she was 25. Firstly, she recommended paying oneself first, with half of her £28,000 annual salary going straight into savings.

Secondly, she advised looking for high-paying jobs and switching companies for better wages but warned against lifestyle inflation. She sold her BMW to avoid unnecessary costs and invested the money instead, buying a cheaper car to align with her saving goals.

Finally, Kennie suggested living with their parents for as long as possible to reduce expenses. In the video's caption, she aimed to inspire those working 9-5 jobs who feel they can't save. Many have praised her tips for their simplicity and practicality, and the video has been widely shared.

The UK, US, and Australia have announced a historic deal to develop new “Aukus” submarines based on a British design to counter the growing threat from China in the Indo-Pacific region. The submarines, expected to be seaworthy from the late 2030s, will replace the UK's current fleet of seven nuclear-powered vessels, potentially doubling its size to 19. The submarines will be manufactured in the UK, with some components built by BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce in Barrow-in-Furness.

Australia will become the seventh country in the world to gain nuclear-powered submarines, with delivery expected in the early 2040s. To prepare for this, British submarines will begin to be rotated to Australia in 2027, while senior Australian officers will start training on US and UK submarine bases this year. The US is also expected to sell Australia three Virginia class submarines and two more if needed. The move has drawn criticism from China, but the three countries have worked closely with the International Atomic Energy Agency to set the highest standards.

The Aukus powers hope the move will contribute to global security and stability and protect freedom, human rights, the rule of law, the independence of sovereign states, and the rules-based international order.

Actor Ke Huy Quan has finally received a major award after four decades of acting. The 51-year-old actor won Best Supporting Actor at the Critics Choice Awards, Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in any Motion Picture at the Golden Globes, and Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards, following his role as Waymond Qang in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Quan's rise to fame began when he played the sidekick in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom at the age of 12.

He also appeared in The Goonies, but opportunities for the Vietnamese-born actor dried up in the late 1980s and 1990s. Quan enrolled in the University of Southern California's film program in the late 1990s, worked as a fight choreographer on X-Men, and served as Wong Kar Wai's assistant director on his science fiction romance 2046. Quan began pursuing projects again after the success of Crazy Rich Asians and starred in Everything Everywhere All At Once, which also starred Michelle Yeoh. However, Quan faced financial difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic and lost his health insurance after a year of not booking a new acting job.

He called his agent to get any job that could qualify him for health insurance, but he could not get one single job. Quan contacted a producer from Everything Everywhere All At Once to ask about his performance, and the producer told him to wait. Quan's life changed after the movie came out in March of last year. In September, Quan reunited with Harrison Ford for the first time in 38 years to promote their new projects in California. Quan shared two sweet photos of the actors catching up, both showing him wrapping his arms around the older screen star. The two even matched each other with their jeans and grey blazers. Ford praised Quan's work as he began receiving critical acclaim for his role in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
