    does that allow project folders similar to gpt and can you generate images ?
  2. xicor
    at this rate I think local ai might be the only option
  3. xicor
    does it give you chat gpt style projects/folders to group chats ?
  4. xicor
    their licensing model prices are crazy
  5. xicor
    You haven't blocked AI sites for your staff ? but if they are not approved and not blocked won't that mean they will just use them ?
  6. xicor
    yeah this was another complaint along with lack of project and chat grouping
  7. xicor
    did you have to pay for extra data controls for copilot or is this the standard license included A1 ?

    Has anyone deployed AI tools for staff across their school? We currently have Microsoft Copilot, but staff are increasingly asking for something closer to the ChatGPT like being able to easily group chats into projects, keep related work together, and generate images etc The problem I’m finding is that ChatGPT becomes very expensive once you move into the versions with proper management and security controls. ChatGPT Business/Teams seems more affordable, but from an IT admin point of view the controls still feel quite limited. For example, I can't seem to centrally/bulk disable plugins or properly lock down some of the features I wouldn't want staff using. I'm interested to know what others have deployed for staff if any ? or if you using Copilot, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, or something you've built yourselves using an API?

    did you end up finding one ?

    I called their reception and asked if there was an update the conversation lasted 20 seconds, no harm done and nobody's time was wasted. and their update was some time ago so its not like I called them when they just announced an incident...

    Anyone here uses either Securly or Smoothwall cloud filter ? I had a recent demo with securly and will have one with smoothwall next.

    Hold your horses people, nothing wrong with trying. recpetion can just say no its no big deal what's the harm ? I've done it before with other schools and had some responses. If i had a cyber incident myself and someone called me from another school to ask for advise I would be happy to help!
  13. xicor
    is there any updates on this ? I tried calling them to ask about this but I couldn't get through to them. I agree that whenever things like that happen there should be some communication to help other schools avoid the same issue.

    This will help with the granular blocking but it sadly wont fix their biggest issue of not categorising sites correctly, even explicitly obvious ai sites are not classed as ai sites and this is after blocking the ai bundle that LGFL offers
  15. xicor
    How does decryption work for guests or iPads that are taken home ? The boredhumans site is a weird one as lgfl is adamant on not categorising it in a way that blocks the whole site, something hopefully they can clarify tomorrow
  16. xicor
    update on this, they are saying that the http one doesn't get categorised as it leads to nothing, they have now updated that too
  17. xicor
    do you have to enable https decryption for smoothwall ? `and yes agreed about the safer internet bs - its a checklist exercise
  18. xicor
    I just checked that spyce site and still shows as general and my ticket was closed stating this was resolved, i have re-opened it now
  19. xicor
    its too crazy, some websites even link to many sites that are all obviously not appropriate - you'd think the categorisation system would use some logic to check the site before allowing access, its nuts
  20. xicor
    to be clear Mark, the core issue here is your systems are not categorising websites correctly and this has nothing to do with my specific school setup - I have also raised another website BoredHumans.com - Free AI Tools which does have links to various inappropriate links within its main domain and yet the logic I'm getting from your team is that only specific sub links are blocked and not even for all schools only for those that have https decryption. it makes no sense to not block the site as a whole as it has more than one link within its subdomain that is not appropriate, yet the message I'm getting is that all schools that do not have https decryption can still access it and the dodgy links within it are still available, only schools with https decryption wont be able to access it, a logic I do not understand and hope you can clarify tomorrow.

    if anyone here has the same issues as I do with the categorization and are an LGFL customer it might be worth speaking with Mark as I am meeting him tomorrow via teams so from my side I dont mind if you joined the meeting as well ? Mark - it might be good to clarify the issues with the bad categorization and your chats with Netsweeper to anyone else interested ? I don't mind from my side who joins especially if they have the same issues as i do, I have submitted to your support many more websites all having the same issue
  22. xicor
    There is nothing to defend as for example dlsite.com was categorised as a general/games site yet sophos has it as an adult/porn site - its been that kind of site for 20+ years even more based on the archive.org cache
  23. xicor
    Hi Mark - I look forward to the meeting, another website LGFL does not see as an adult site is dlsite.com yet sophos clearly classes it as a porn site so would be good to get an explanation of this
  24. xicor
    is it this site ? cobratate.com I just checked and LGFL classifies it as a general site
  25. xicor
    its really bad it sees pleasures.ai as a general site too until I raised it with them, the spyce it saw it as a general site too and I have asked for it to be recategorised
