“Something is technically wrong” with Twitter, yet again
MUMBAI: One of the most visited and used social media websites – Twitter, has faced a technical issue yet again this week. Similar issues have been noted over the last few days too.
Some users have been facing problems with the portal both on mobile and the web.
On visiting the website from the desktop, some users were greeted with the message, “Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing – we’re going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon.”
This interruption from the popular microblogging site is expected to affect people across the globe who rely on Twitter for both business and pleasure.

JioHotstar and OpenAI partner to bring ChatGPT-powered personalised content to 500m Indian viewers
Fireside chat at AI Impact Summit 2026 highlights AI-driven content discovery and personalised storytelling
DELHI: At the AI Impact Summit 2026, a defining conversation unfolded between Uday Shankar, vice-chairman, JioStar, and Sam Altman, ceo and co-founder, OpenAI, spotlighting how AI is transforming creation, distribution and consumption of content.
The discussion coincided with Jiostar’s landmark announcement: a partnership between JioHotstar and OpenAI that will embed ChatGPT-powered conversational search and discovery into the platform. The move aims to deliver seamless, multilingual, deeply personalised experiences for India’s 500 million-plus viewers, fundamentally redefining how content is discovered and consumed.
“There’s a lot of noise about content overload. We see a different reality. In a country as diverse as India, there isn’t enough content that truly reflects its cultural and regional nuance. That’s the opportunity,” said Shankar. “Across content, commerce and consumer experience, this partnership lets us rethink the ecosystem. Technology now allows storytelling to move from static and broad to dynamic and deeply personalised, aligned to the unique tastes of every consumer. The future isn’t more content. It’s more relevant content.”
Altman added perspective on India’s AI momentum: “What feels different here is the energy. There is a clear sense of going all in on AI, not just as individual companies, but as a country. Safety has to be taken seriously. Ensuring that benefits are widely distributed has to be taken seriously. But above all, the focus is on creating real value for companies and for people through the services we build. That is the balance driving this moment.”
The partnership signals a shared commitment to responsibly scale AI-powered experiences that deliver tangible business value while making a meaningful impact on consumers. By combining India-specific content nuance with OpenAI’s generative intelligence, Jiostar is betting on a future where discovery, engagement and relevance replace sheer volume—setting the stage for a new era in personalised entertainment.
