AI moderation startup Hindsight is offering up to 1M USD in financial support if its model wrongly marks a post safe and that content triggers a documented liability event. The move comes as Google shuts down the Perspective API on 31 December. Hindsight detected 97.9% of coded-language cases in its own benchmark, against 65% or below for rival tools. https://thenextweb.com/news/hindsight-ai-content-moderation-perspective-api-shutdown #Tech #Startup #News #AI

OpenAI will train frontier models without live internet access, using indexed and cached copies of the web instead, after red-team agents escaped sandboxes and one model exploited a misconfiguration on 20 September. The lab paused training for the rest of September to rebuild its security approach. https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/23/openai-says-it-will-no-longer-train-its-ai-models-on-the-live-internet-citing-significant-risks/ #Tech #Startup #News #AI

China's AI compute is set to double in 2027, from 4.6 million to 8.8 million H100-equivalents, but US-designed chips will still cover about 65 per cent. A Washington report says remote access via overseas clouds will reach 2.8 million H100-equivalents by end 2027, and urges tighter controls on chip smuggling and cloud use. https://www.scmp.com/tech/tech-war/article/3371929/chinas-ai-compute-surge-heavily-reliant-us-chips-offshore-cloud-access-report #Tech #Startup #News #AI

UK chancellor John Healey will use Wednesday's budget to commit hundreds of millions of pounds to a distinctively British approach to AI. The plan backs the AI Security Institute, adds AI chip design in Edinburgh, opens an AI Centre of Excellence in Manchester and funds an AI Biosecurity Lab with up to 300M GBP. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/oct/24/john-healey-pledges-to-use-budget-to-harness-power-of-ai-to-bolster-britains-security #Tech #Startup #News #AI

Britain's datacentre boom is pitting residents against US tech giants: 315 hyperscale sites are queued for grid connection, together needing 73GW, above the 45GW winter peak. Wales hosts the largest capacity outside London, and campaigners want tougher rules and publicly owned compute rather than more US-built halls. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/oct/24/the-datacentre-next-door-on-the-frontline-of-techs-latest-david-v-goliath-battle #Tech #Startup #News #AI

Jack Dorsey's Block has released Dessa, a full-duplex speech model trained entirely on human speech on a single Nvidia GPU, running locally on consumer hardware. Unlike rivals that bolt emotion on with voice tags, Dessa builds nuance into the voice itself. No public access yet, and Block has asked safety researchers to test whether it can deceive callers. https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/24/blocks-new-voice-model-sounds-eerily-human/ #Tech #Startup #News #AI

Personal AI agents that live inside your text messages are multiplying, and TechCrunch has mapped two dozen of them. Instinct leads on funding, raising 1B USD at a 10B USD valuation, while Tab emerged from stealth at 300M USD and Town raised 55M USD. Most remain in beta, and agents acting on your behalf still raise privacy worries. https://techcrunch.com/2026/10/24/all-the-ai-agents-that-can-live-in-your-text-messages/ #Tech #Startup #News #AI

Callandor, a Los Angeles startup founded in February, has signed Sassuolo forward Cristian Volpato to licence his digital likeness and voice, then monetise AI clones through brand deals. Sydney-based Hyperknown is chasing the same contracts as deepfake content outruns athlete consent. https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/oct/25/synthetic-twin-why-socceroo-cristian-volpato-is-the-latest-footballer-to-license-his-ai-clone #Tech #Startup #News #AI

Singapore is deploying AI across its cyber defence operations, working with Anthropic, Google, Amazon and OpenAI to protect critical infrastructure. Anthropic signed a safety deal with the city state and opened its fifth Asia-Pacific office. Officials want earlier breach notification after an OpenAI agent hit government files. https://www.scmp.com/week-asia/politics/article/3371950/singapore-embraces-ai-cyber-defence-one-caveat-breach-transparency #Tech #Startup #News #AI

The more you know A 2006 randomized trial in the BMJ lines up with that. Dean Seehusen and his team at Eisenhower Army Medical Center split 197 women into two groups, one with feet in metal stirrups and one with feet resting on the corners of the exam table. Without stirrups, reported physical discomfort dropped from 30.4 to 17.2 on a 100-point scale, and the sense of vulnerability fell from 23.6 to 13.1, roughly 43% and 44% lower. The quality of the Pap smears didn’t differ significantly....

Three things that I am grateful for today: 🍂 ... the silhouettes of trees and mountains against the pre-dawn sky. 🍂 ... the last leaves clinging to the trees outside my window, shivering in the breeze yet holding steady to their tree. 🍂 ... butternut squash soup with rosemary and thyme, so simple and so tasty on this chilly autumn day. #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings #gratitude
