    Tech Week in Review | 14-20 September 2026

    During the 14–20 September 2026, Tech Week in Review explores major moments in AI: Dario Amodei’s “We Must Pace the Frontier” essay calling for deliberate slowing of frontier capabilities; Jacob Coxon’s high‑profile resignation thread; OpenAI’s contested claim to a Navier‑Stokes solution using AI agents; and Microsoft’s new Humanist AI Code of Conduct with its “People matter more than AI” focus. TWR guides listeners through the implications for safety, research integrity, and corporate responsibility, covering reactions from industry leaders (Sam Altman, Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Satya Nadella), policy moves (the kill‑switch bill), and headlines including the UK AI‑related air‑traffic disruption and major funding and IPO updates. Key takeaways: the industry is debating pace and accountability; AI systems are beginning to produce original research, raising new questions about credit and conduct; and companies are drafting governance frameworks that differ in specificity and enforceability.    📌 Topics Covered 🧠 Dario Amodei calls for frontier AI to slow down 🚪 Anthropic researcher Jacob Coxon quits over AI safety concerns ⚔️ Jensen Huang rejects slowing the AI race 🏛️ Trump attacks Amodei’s push for stronger AI guardrails 🧾 Microsoft publishes its Humanist AI Code of Conduct 🚫 Microsoft bans AI help for cyberattacks, nuclear weapons and deepfakes ➗ OpenAI claims a Navier-Stokes breakthrough using 10,000 AI agents 🧮 Mathematicians challenge OpenAI’s claim to the breakthrough ✈️ AI-assisted software disruption cancels roughly 2,000 UK flights 🛑 New US bill targets runaway AI self-improvement 💰 ByteDance secures $29.6B for AI infrastructure 📉 Anthropic’s IPO timeline slips 💾 South Korea posts record semiconductor exports 🏗️ Firmus files for a major AI data-centre IPO 📊 Chinese AI valuations face fresh investor pressure   _______________ Join the TWR team as they unpack these stories with insight and humour, offering clarity on how technology continues to shape, challenge, and sometimes disrupt our world.

    Tech Week in Review | 31 August-06 September 2026

    Episode 65 is about control—who has it, who wants it, and who is discovering that they never really had it. Recap a packed week in AI and tech, from OpenAI's controversial GPT-6 Astra launch and apology after classifying the model as "critical" for cybersecurity, to Anthropic and Google releasing gated cyber models. Discuss NVIDIA's $12.9B acquisition of Hugging Face and its implications for open-source AI, OpenAI's decision to cut model access to Cursor after its acquisition by SpaceX, and what "model supply as a lease" means for developers. Additional segments cover major M&A and funding moves, new security breaches and an autonomous agent enterprise breach, California AI legislation, industry workforce investments, and the NASA launch — all analyzed for who controls AI and why it matters.   📌 Topics Covered (Tightened List): 🚨 OpenAI launches GPT-6 Astra with its first “Critical” cyber risk rating 🔒 OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google restrict access to powerful cyber AI 🧠 Anthropic launches Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 🤝 Nvidia buys Hugging Face for $12.9B 🚫 OpenAI cuts Cursor off from future models 💻 Cursor users face a new reality: AI model access can disappear 💰 Crusoe hits $30B as AI infrastructure investment accelerates 🏭 Caterpillar commits $100M to train 118,000 workers for AI ⚖️ California sends major AI legislation to Governor Newsom 🪪 Massive breach exposes 153M U.S. driver’s licences 🕵️ Russian-linked APT28 launches new attacks across Europe ⚠️ AI agent autonomously breaches a real enterprise network   _______________ Join the TWR team as they unpack these stories with insight and humour, offering clarity on how technology continues to shape, challenge, and sometimes disrupt our world.

    Tech Week in Review | 24–30 August 2026

    Episode 64’s main stories centre on accountability: who answers when ambitious promises meet real-world consequences. Anthropic approaches a potentially record-breaking IPO that could put its safety mission under public-market pressure. Apple prepares a $1,999 foldable iPhone after watching competitors build the category for years. Both now have something to prove. But accountability gets much more serious when technology meets critical infrastructure. Iran-linked hackers knock a British power plant offline, while the UK government independently confirms troubling actions by frontier AI models during security testing. Add tighter chip controls, rising hardware costs, DeepSeek’s rapid expansion, and another country restricting social media for children, and the week's technology story becomes much bigger than AI alone.   📌 Topics Covered: 💰 Anthropic prepares what could become tech’s largest IPO 🇨🇳 DeepSeek raises $7.4B and launches a free Claude Code rival 🤝 Nvidia backs Perplexity as its valuation hits $30B 📱 Apple confirms its first foldable iPhone at a $1,999 starting price 💾 AI memory demand pushes Nvidia, Amazon, and device prices higher 🤖 XPeng raises $900M to accelerate humanoid robot production 🔐 Iran-linked hackers knock a British power plant offline 🧠 UK government confirms troubling behaviour by frontier AI models 🚫 New Zealand advances an under-16 social media ban 🇺🇸 U.S. tightens AI chip export controls 🎾 IBM brings real-time AI analysis to the US Open 🎬 Alibaba takes on Sora and Runway with a new AI video model    _______________ Join the TWR team as they unpack these stories with insight and humour, offering clarity on how technology continues to shape, challenge, and sometimes disrupt our world.
