That makes no sense, they should be able to host chatgpt.com regardless and just say "Sorry, we're at capacity" or something instead of hard 404

Distributed systems are hard. For all we know, this could be the error code returned by some DNS service that is down because of load and a proxy cannot find the records, so 404 makes sense, or whatever. Systems like these don't always have a easy point in the infrastructure that can ALWAYS respond correctly no matter what.

... when vibe-coded.
Vibe coded or not, building and running distributed systems is hard :P I think only people who never built and/or ran them would say it isn't hard, regardless of what tools you have available. Not saying OpenAI won't find it extra hard due to their vibe coding, still hard when you're a group of knowledgeable people with/without AI.
Yeah who wrote that website? Oh right
Agreed, it makes no sense to send out 404. Unless some agent finally went rogue with absolute permission and did `rm -rf`
At the very least, should be a 429
exactly - this should be trivial.
