Technology commentator Peter Griffin looks at what caused the Amazon Web Services outage and the questions being raised about how dependent the internet is on a small number of core infrastructure providers.

Labour's promising it would boost a rebate for the video game sector. Netflix earnings were down, largely due to a tax dispute with Brazil - but its CEO has been talking up how AI could make its creatives more efficient. And ChatGPT has released its Atlas browser - but could it leave users open to "prompt injections" from hackers?
