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. Apple prepares a $1,999 foldable iPhone after watching competitors build the category for years. Both now have something to prove.
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.
