Chatgpt data leakage
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10-08/can-private-information-uploaded-to-chatgpt-be-found-by-others/105858422
Guest Interview : Danja Lewis
Question on Linked IN about data leakage - I would be really interested to see how this information can actually be extracted. Many people say they’ve uploaded data, but getting it back out or even locating it again is incredibly difficult. It often feels like it disappears into a black box.
Danja can be found at AIUC.global and on LinkedIn.

A follow up comment from a LinkedIn post http://tiny.cc/nl5u001
"The quality of the applicants coming through and the expectation do not match. So many think they deserve 100k plus but want to learn for multiple years while all other industry start at much lower this is specific for cyber .
For IT we recently posted a senior position and when we asked basic questions in office 365 majority couldn't even answer. The level of understanding is not the same as it used to be.
Now this i blame on three things. University have a lot of answer for from a learning and saying to students change jobs often and use it to springboard your salary.
Business need to be held accountable and not use staff as disposal tools. Recruit when required and train to improve and increase salary as the business grows
Third is students only want to learn to pass a course not to understand how and why you do it. I had an interesting chat with others that say students ask what they need to study for just tell us what going to be in the exam. Life isn't like that." - Ben, Perth
