Bing’s API is down, taking Microsoft Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT’s web search feature down too
"In this particular case, it’s interesting to see the increasingly important role of Bing’s API. While Google still dominates when it comes to web search, many services are now reliant on Bing’s API."
Relying on one company doesn't seem like a smart idea.
"A global outage is affecting a variety of Microsoft services, including its Bing search engine and Copilot AI tool.
Users turned to social media on Thursday to complain about the outage, which is also impacting third parties, including the search engine DuckDuckGo, which relies on Microsoft’s infrastructure."
Ministers overseeing the Chilean government’s sustainability and climate change efforts have proposed a network of protected areas comprising 27 salt flats and lagoons, part of the country’s National Lithium Strategy.
Another 26 salt flats will be exclusively used for exploration and extraction of lithium by national and international companies; two state-owned mining companies will lead operations in the country’s largest lithium reserves.
