• ChatGPT users can now invoke GPTs directly in chats
  OpenAI is promoting the adoption of GPTs by allowing ChatGPT users to bring GPTs into a conversation by typing “@” and selecting a GPT from the list. The chosen GPT will have an understanding of the full conversation, and different GPTs can be “tagged in” for different use cases and needs. The move to make GPTs more discoverable comes weeks after the launch of the GPT Store, a marketplace for GPTs accessible through the ChatGPT dashboard.

• OpenAI denies report that ChatGPT leaked user passwords
  A ChatGPT user claims that the language model leaked private conversations and sensitive information, including login credentials and pharmacy tickets. However, OpenAI has refuted these claims, stating that the displayed content resulted from a compromised account, not a breach of ChatGPT itself. This incident has reignited concerns about the security and privacy of AI language models, especially given ChatGPT's history of similar issues.
