glitch

It is not yet clear what caused the earlier glitch.

Some Amazon-watchers have conjectured that the glitch may be connected to mass layoffs the company implemented in the summer in its cloud computing unit, with the jobs purportedly replaced by artificial intelligence.

The company’s operations have seen glitches and recalls, however.

The issue, which United described as a “system glitch” and then a “technology outage,” resulted in minor flight delays.

United Airlines said it was facing a “system glitch” in a response to a user on X who was unable to access United’s app or website.
