                                Yesterday I was invited onto the @BBCNews channel to discuss the news that OpenAI has chosen not to release its highly-anticipated new AI model GPT-6.1 Astra over concerns it does not meet the company's safety standards 📺

                                Was great to work with Matthew Amroliwala and Cheryl Kalau. I shared latest insights from the tech industry, including an impassioned defence of cybersecurity engineers working for OpenAI, who have been critiqued by the global tech community online for failing to prevent AI agents from accessing the internet to break into other companies' and governments' servers 🤖

                                I also highlighted a powerful new report published this week by University of Cambridge's Programme for AI Science & Policy on the risks of automated AI research & development, which is authored by a slew of AI bigwigs across the industry from OpenAI, Anthropic and Microsoft etc, as well as world-leading computer scientists including Geoffrey Hinton.

Technology journalist Mary-Ann Russon appeared on the live BBC News World channel on Tuesday 29th September 2026 to provide in-depth analysis about the tech industry's concerns relating to AI R&D automation.

Anhand eines Fotos soll im Internet nach weiteren Fotos der gleichen Person gesucht werden. So könnten unbekannte Verdächtige oder untergetauchte Straf­tä­te­r:in­nen gefunden werden, hofft Dobrindt.

At the same time there's undeniably competition - vs - or coopetition - ActivityPub vs - between different technologies. Because success and popular uptake of one technology can lead to the demise of another.

Stand strong in your own shoes. Other then become input to learn from. What are weaknesses, what can be copied, and what can be done better? And also, where can there be unison, interoperability, collaboration, cross-pollination with other technology ecosystems?

                                                                                                                                                  Technology doesn't "win". It's people who stand to win or loose, depending on how well the tech supports their needs.

Most FOSS starts as hobby projects, when some dev starts to code. When the project grows and sees popular uptake suddenly countless different factors become important, requiring skills beyond coding. These are often badly accounted for. Product development, documentation, organization, PR. Here FOSS might take more example from how the business world operates and sustains, albeit generally not on the values that FOSS holds dear.

                                                                                                                                                    For I defined the here, the Free software development lifecycle, or solution delivery lifecycle, depending on context. It has different stages, where different roles and activities become important to be addressed. There are countless facets that need to be accounted for, for a project to become self-sustainable.

                                                                                                                                                    The challenge is even much tougher, when scaling it to encompass entire grassroots ecosystems, where everyone relies on robust foundations.
