Last month I spoke at #wasmio25 on privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) in the automotive industry.
I presented a real world use case built with WebAssembly aimed at creating smarter in-vehicle experiences.
This tech can be applied to any device to protect your data.
The state of California is warning 23andMe customers to delete their data because odds are good that the company is going to go bankrupt.
If I were you I would prioritize doing this.
Californians have the right to direct the company to delete their genetic data OAKLAND — California Attorney General Rob Bonta today issued a consumer alert to customers of 23andMe, a genetic testing and information company. The California-based company has publicly reported that it is in financial distress and stated in securities filings that there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Meta used several of my books to train its AI.
I’m okay with this.
In so far as I’m happy for it to be accessible by the masses. I wrote books to educate people in how to make better apps and services.
The fact my books made it into LibGen means more access for more people.
Meta making money from that is not so cool.

Attending GTC this week where Nvidia, Jaguar Landrover, Zenseact, and Volvo are demoing robotics and self-driving cars.
I’m showcasing how to build safer AI solutions by running training on-device, locally in a secure PDS, whilst collecting zero data.
There’s no better time for safety-by-design.
Exploring the missing piece of AI with WebAssembly at #Wasmio25: training.
Around 6-years of server-side WebAssembly, and WebNN (privacy) work has led me back to the edge.
We’ve come along way and I’m amazed at what the community has built, (and which I’ve had the benefit of building on).
today has been productive but emotionally difficult. i’m about to effectively empty my savings account to sustain me for the next couple of months & i don’t know what comes after.

i’m working on:
📻 a podcast about making web standards more accessible to web developers
👩🏾💻contributions to WPT, APG, TAG, other standards groups
🧐research into bringing accessibility data to web documentation (mdn, baseline, caniuse, etc)
i’m trying really hard to remain hopeful & focus on the work i’m doing. i’m releasing this podcast, a newsletter (dropping end of the month), working on contributing to the accessibility web platform tests, writing articles for mdn, contributing to apg, doing tag work, researching bigger web platform projects & i really care about all of it.
but tetralogical are the only company who have sponsored me. who should i be talking to at companies?
At that phase in preparing a 30-minute talk where I’ve gone past worrying about the lack of material, and I’m now at the point where I’m worrying that I have an intensive two week workshop that needs to be stripped down instead.
Looking forward to #wasmio25. 😅
I rarely tell people to throw their devices into the sea, but you should throw your Amazon Echo into the sea.
