    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    In what would be delicious irony, Microsoft is reported to have temporarily pulled internal access to OpenAI’s ChatGPT over security fears.

    Not only has Microsoft invested $13 billion into OpenAI, it is weaving the lab’s generative AI products into vast swathes of the Windows and Office software portfolio.

    “Due to security and data concerns a number of AI tools are no longer available for employees to use,” Microsoft stated on the internal website, as revealed by CNBC.

    The risk of feeding sensitive data to LLMs, including ChatGPT, was highlighted earlier this year by the UK’s GCHQ spy agency.

    In other related news this week, OpenAI was brought down by a suspected distributed denial of services (DDoS) attack.

    “We are dealing with periodic outages due to an abnormal traffic pattern reflective of a DDoS attack,” OpenAI said yesterday.

      I assume there is an ActiveDirectory policy setting which disables all the Bing and ChatGPT bullshit in Windows 10 and Windows 11.

      If there is, can someone in our workplace IT department please roll that out so we can just get on with doing real work without stupid interruptions and questions from the OS. There is no situation where I would rather use Bing than DuckDuckGo or Google do stop asking me and stop reverting my settings after each software update. There is no situation where I would even think of using ChatGPT to do my job for me.
