OpenAI shut down ChatGPT to fix bug exposing user chat titles

 

OpenAI temporarily shut down its popular ChatGPT service on Monday morning after receiving reports of a bug that allowed some users to see the titles of other users’ chat histories.

An OpenAI spokesperson told Bloomberg that the titles were visible in the user-history sidebar that typically appears on the left side of the ChatGPT webpage. The chatbot was temporarily disabled after the company heard these reports, the spokesperson said. The substance of the other users’ conversations was not visible.

A bug in an unnamed open-source software caused the problem, the spokesperson said. The company is still investigating the precise cause.

ChatGPT came back online Monday night, though users’ chat histories remained missing as of late Monday night Pacific time.

“History is temporarily unavailable,” read a message in the place where a user’s ChatGPT queries and responses typically reside. “We’re working to restore this feature as soon as possible.”

In the statement Monday night, the spokesperson said: “ChatGPT is now back online, and we are working to bring chat history back online as well.”

Uzbekistan cough syrup deaths| Marion Biotech’s licence cancelled

The Uttar Pradesh Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has cancelled the drug license of Noida-based Marion Biotech Pvt Ltd after 18 children died in Uzbekistan, last year, allegedly after consuming cough syrup manufactured in India. “Marion Biotech Company’s license has been cancelled by the State License Authority,” a senior State health official said on Wednesday.

The decision to cancel the license was taken unanimously by the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation and the State health regulator.
Toxic adulteration

According to a letter written by Drugs Controller General of India (DCGI) Rajeev Raghuvanshi to alert State licensing authorities, 22 out of 33 samples of Marion Biotech’s cough syrup have been found to be adulterated with ethylene glycol, a substance linked to the Uzbek deaths.

The letter, dated March 7, states that during the course of the investigation, a total of 33 samples were picked up by the drugs inspector, out of which 22 samples were declared as ‘not of standard quality’. The 22 samples fell under the category of adulterated or spurious drugs
Supplier blacklisted

The DCGI also directed State drug regulators to ensure that other local manufacturers do not procure raw material — propylene glycol — from a Maya Chemtech India, a Delhi-based firm that supplied the ingredient to Noida-based Marion Biotech.

“It is further informed that M/s Maya Chemtech India Pvt. Ltd Delhi, was mainly the supplier of propylene glycol which has been used in the impugned batches. In view of the above, you are requested to issue directions to all manufacturers in your jurisdiction not to use propylene glycol supplied by M/s Maya Chemtech,” said the letter. “Accordingly, you are requested to instruct your enforcement officials to keep strict vigil on the matter and take stringent action as per the provisions of the said Act and rules against the offenders in public interest,” it added.
Poisonous swap

As propylene glycol is an expensive substance, it is believed that companies sometimes mix it with inexpensive diethylene glycol and ethylene glycol for sweetening purposes. Both are highly toxic, colourless and viscous liquids.

In December 2022, India launched an inquiry against the Noida-based drugs manufacturer after the deaths of 18 children in Uzbekistan were linked to the consumption of the syrup manufactured by the firm.
