Greg Brockman speaks out during OpenAI outage: 'trying to rise to the occasion'
gdb · x · 2026-10-24
OpenAI co-founder and president Greg Brockman posted during what appears to be a major service outage, saying he is "trying to rise to the occasion" and expressing gratitude for a team that feels the responsibility as deeply as he does. He quoted researcher jachiam0's speculation that Brockman is doing "heroic things to fix the internet behind the scenes" — work whose large-scale patching efforts may never be publicly attributed. The exchange indirectly confirms the incident is being actively remediated.
