    Episode 65 is about control—who has it, who wants it, and who is discovering that they never really had it.

    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.

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.
