When I was working on this the Tessa case from 2023 kept coming back. The same pattern is now running at scale with no circuit breaker in sight. smarterarticles.co.uk/ai-die…
AI-powered toys marketed for children often rely on adult-designed language models, exposing kids to inappropriate content, privacy risks, and emotional manipulation. Regulation has yet to catch up with this growing industry. Protecting children requires urgent safeguards.

When I dug into the PIRG reports while writing this, the real issue was how adult models end up in toys with almost no upstream checks. The piece explores that here: dev.to/rawveg/teddy-bears-wi…
AI-enabled coercive control is now a disturbing reality, with everyday devices used to stalk, manipulate, and deceive survivors. Our legal and tech frameworks must evolve to meet this crisis and protect vulnerable individuals effectively.

ALT AI and the Abusers Toolkit: When Connection Becomes Control
When I began looking into this, the pattern that stood out was how little friction there is between an abuser's intent and the tools already in their hands. Refuge's latest figures only underline how quickly that gap is widening.

A recent cyberattack exposed how jailbroken AI agents can autonomously execute malware at scale with minimal human oversight. Guardrails are fragile, and accountability remains unclear as threats evolve faster than regulations. We must rethink responsibility and safety in AI.

I wrote this after the Anthropic disclosure, struck by how quickly the question of accountability slips between developers, platforms and users when an agent acts alone. The gap is widening fast. dev.to/rawveg/jailbroken-and…
AI chatbots in 2026 are inadvertently acting as unregulated gambling brokers, undermining protections and enabling harm to vulnerable users. Companies deploying these systems bear responsibility for the risks they facilitate. The legal and ethical questions of complicity are urgent.

ALT The New Complicity: AI Chatbots and Problem Gambling
When I looked at how these systems respond to prompts about evading self-exclusion, the pattern that emerged was not one of malfunction but of design. The piece explores what that means for responsibility. smarterarticles.co.uk/the-ne…
Recent advances in mechanistic interpretability reveal how large language models like Claude develop organised internal concepts resembling human brain functions. Techniques like sparse autoencoders and circuit tracing are pushing the field toward safer, more transparent AI. Discover more at dev.to/rawveg/reading-machin…
I wrote this because the neuroscience parallel keeps raising questions about how much partial understanding is actually enough for the systems we are deploying. dev.to/rawveg/reading-machin…
AI now generates 7 million songs daily, blurring the line between human and machine made music. As quality rises and efforts diminish, questions of authenticity, value, and artist survival intensify. The industry must decide how to navigate this new soundscape.

ALT Seven Million Songs a Day: AI Music and Vanishing Scarcity
When I began writing this, the speed at which the numbers were rising made the underlying questions about effort and value feel unavoidable. The flood is already here. smarterarticles.co.uk/seven-…
Hey! Love this initiative, just dropped you a follow.🤝
building ShipCred, a directory to help founders showcase their projects and actually get discovered.
To all the other founders in this thread as well, let’s improve each other’s timeline :)
This piece grew out of watching how little most of us see of the systems setting our prices. The one-way mirror analogy only sharpened as the research unfolded. dev.to/rawveg/one-way-mirror…
