I asked two different AI models the same simple question: what time are the Warriors playing this weekend?

The answers? Not the same. Watch the video.

This came out of a conversation with a client this week about which AI tools they should be rolling out to staff. The honest answer is — it depends on what you're trying to do. I used my old trusty One NZ Warriors AI sniff test to highlight issues between models.

Different models have different strengths. Some are stronger at reasoning, some at writing, some at fast factual lookups, some at code. Some will confidently give you a wrong answer with a straight face. None of them are interchangeable, even when they look like they are on the surface.

Two things every business needs to get right before going all-in on AI:

- Match the tool to the job. The "best" AI is the one that's best for the task in front of you, not the one with the loudest marketing.
- Don't blindly trust the output. If your business decisions, your client deliverables, or your reporting depend on AI-generated content, someone with a brain still needs to check it. Generative doesn't mean accurate.

We're helping clients work through which models suit which teams, where guardrails need to sit, and how to build a culture of "verify, then use" rather than copy-paste-and-pray.

If you're rolling AI out across your business and want a sanity check on your approach, happy to chat.

(For the record — the Warriors play Brisbane at Suncorp on Sunday for Magic Round. One AI got that right. One didn't.)

🚨 AI Privacy Alert 🚨

OpenAI just made headlines—and not in a good way.

Thousands of private ChatGPT conversations were exposed to Google Search. Most users had no idea it was happening.

Here’s what went wrong:

🔓 A new “Make link discoverable” toggle in Shared Chats turned private conversations into public webpages—instantly indexable by search engines.

📉 OpenAI didn’t include a basic “noindex” tag. That’s Web Dev 101.

💥 Sensitive data—job applications, business plans, internal code—started showing up in Google results.

For a company pushing AI into the enterprise, this was a massive data governance failure.

OpenAI has now: ✅ Removed the toggle ✅ Coordinated with Google to de-index links ✅ Urged users to review shared chats

But cached versions may still be out there.

🔐 What you should do now:

Go to ChatGPT > Settings > Shared Links
Review your shared conversations
Delete anything you don’t want public
Monitor Google for lingering traces

As Sam Altman said: “There’s no legal privacy shield around your AI chats yet—it’s screwed up, and it needs fixing.”

This wasn’t a hack. It was a feature—with flawed ex*****on.

At Inlet Technologies, we believe privacy-first AI isn’t optional—it’s essential.

Early morning emergency remote job for an Auckland client who had an issue with the connection of a staff member to VPN services at their HQ.

The computer which normally is connected to the network domain and used by someone else had a new staff member profile set up on it while off the network, and that new staff member's VPN connection wouldn't work. This error that is shown, is by design from Microsoft as a security measure. To overcome this click on the article below to learn how to resolve this.

This may become more common as remote working from home continues through the Covid pandemic - so a useful hack to know.

If you receive the below error message when attempting to connect to a Routing and Remote Access VPN from a Windows 1- domain-joined computer: Can’t connec...

R.I.P. to Sir Clive Marles Sinclair who has passed away at 81 years old. A man who invented what was, for a lot of us, our first foray into personal computing.
