While many social media users applauded the police for creatively using viral trends, others highlighted the broader traffic issues. Some questioned the lack of strict enforcement against violations such as driving in the wrong direction or breaking traffic laws daily. One commenter urged the authorities to impose hefty fines on offenders who disregard the law. The Bengaluru police has frequently warned commuters against performing such stunts, stating that they pose risks to public safety and could lead to FIRs being filed against violators.
Meanwhile, OpenAI's ChatGPT faced global outages as users rushed to generate Studio Ghibli-style avatars. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman acknowledged the overwhelming demand, revealing that their GPUs were struggling to handle the surge. "It's super fun seeing people love images in ChatGPT, but our GPUs are melting. We’re temporarily introducing rate limits while we work on efficiency. Hopefully, it won’t be long! Free-tier users will soon get three generations per day," Altman posted on X.
