Supply chain attacks on AI integrations doubled in 2026 because attackers discovered something developers overlooked: every third-party tool an agent calls is a trust boundary with no monitoring.

You audit your code. Do you audit what your agent does at runtime?

Imagine a newspaper publisher refusing to let libraries keep copies of its paper. That’s effectively what’s starting online, as big publishers block the Internet Archive from preserving news sites. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/blocking-internet-archive-wont-stop-ai-it-will-erase-webs-historical-record

Blocking the Internet Archive Won’t Stop AI, But It Will Erase the Web’s Historical Record

Imagine a newspaper publisher announcing it will no longer allow libraries to keep copies of its paper. That’s effectively what’s begun happening online in the last few months. The Internet Archive—the world’s largest digital library—has preserved newspapers since it went online in the mid-1990s....

One of the ways LLMs are damaging society is by causing us to endlessly talk about LLMs when we could be doing something creative.

(2/2) What I did know was that it was to be guided by the overarching values of fuelling creativity, driving collaboration and igniting compassion. These values are even more important in the age of AI, a technology that has the same potential to liberate and cause harm #Web37

(1/2) 37 years ago today I submitted my proposal for the World Wide Web 🎂. Today, Rosemary & I spoke with students in New Orleans at Walter Isaacson's Digital History Class at Tulane University. I was asked, as I often am, if I ever could have foreseen where we’d be today. I could not.

On a whim, decided to donate $500 to the Trevor Project (https://www.thetrevorproject.org), because LGBTQ+ folks are under attack in the U.S., and young people are hugely affected by it. They have some other donors doing a 3:1 match for a few more hours, and my employer will do 2:1 as well.

The Trevor Project is a non-profit suicide prevention organization that provides 24/7 crisis support services, research, and advocacy for LGBTQ+ young people.

If France could lead the world with Minitel in the 1980s, surely Europe can free itself from Silicon Valley’s shackles now?

Back then, France punched above its weight when it came to tech. The EU needs it to rediscover its taste for the cutting edge, says Paris-based writer Alexander Hurst

My employer is making an awful lot of redundancies this year, and I'm one of them.

No condolences necessary -- I'm fine financially and I have ample reason to think no one's been unhappy with the quality of my work so my ego is also OK.

I may well just settle into an early retirement, but if you're reading this and thinking "I have / my employer has / some work needing doing for which this guy would be perfect" then by all means get in touch.

(Things I have done include: software development, algorithm design, data analysis, general being-a-usefully-smart-person. Much of my career has been very broadly in position sensing -- inductive, capacitive, optical -- with a side order of image processing, but I've done a fair variety of other things too. Temporary, part-time, one-off contract work: all fine or better than fine.)
