If you share a link from twitter to other platforms you used to see a preview... but not for a while now. Doesn't matter if it's Facebook or Lemmy, twitter.com replies with a 404 on links that work fine even without being logged in.
Are they incompetent or is this a strategy to limit incoming traffic? 🤣

It's a funny thing you mention. We were told to block chat.openai.com recently by our CTO who was afraid of data leaks of internal information. Not a bad idea honestly.
But one of my colleagues made a salient point... In that case we should do the same with Google Translate, we've been sending them gazillions of gigabytes of internal emails and other sensitive stuff. And it's also a company we also don't have any formal business or data management contract (GDPR!) with?
"Just block ChatGPT" was the answer, but it was certainly a good point. This is the thing about hypes. It makes people think things are 'special' cases when in fact they are not. Google probably has a LOT more visibility on our company than OpenAI.
Also they are worried about the MS version of ChatGPT because it's "not as good" (uuh it's literally the same engine) and also have data concerns even though we do have data management contracts with them and they put it black on white that they're not using our data for any kind of model training.
I've seen a few companies here where ChatGPT is blocked and they use the Microsoft Azure version of it, often since they're already using Azure or Office 365 and Microsoft can probably just add it to the same contract.
