OpenAI wants you to think it is just toooo popular. This week, the startup had to temporarily halt new sign-ups for its most advanced chatbot, ChatGPT Plus, after a rush of new users apparently started causing trouble for the platform. The new sign-ups came after last week’s Dev Day, when Sam Altman unveiled the new version of the product to the public. Of course, the pause on new sign-ups also came after a number of other troubles, including an alleged DDoS attack and a bevy of power outages connected to the service.
