Downdetector.com is starting to glow with the number of reports, so it is starting to cascade.

So now what do we do? Work is hardly worth doing, as productivity will be so much lower. Does anyone remember how to write any more?
Note that as of 4:49 PM Mountain OpenAI has still not acknowledged the outage on their status page:
Guess it is time to go outside.
Update: 5:00PM Mountain. OpenAI finally acknowledges the issue, gives a 30 minute window to fix. I appear to be back up again, though. The outdoors are safe.
