Last month, Open AI made a big move that basically closed down what was becoming the quickest and easiest way of creating a useful product. They made Custom GPTs non-shareable. Poo! But fine, everyone thought, at least all of the ones that were made before this happened could still be used by anyone with the link... Not all poo....Phew! Well, now it has been announced that all Custom GPTs will all be "sunsetted" in a couple of months time. Back to "poo" again!

Anthropic has just published its latest Threat Intelligence Report... https://www.anthropic.com/threat-intelligence-report-september-2026 And some of the examples of how people have been trying to misuse Claude are pretty worrying. One group in Yemen was using Claude Code to help develop software for guided rockets and missiles. Another operation used Claude to create and rewrite political stories across around 70 fake news websites, targeting people across six continents. Anthropic also found people going to considerable lengths to get around its safeguards and access restrictions. Now the GOOD news... Anthropic says it identified and DISRUPTED every operation included in the report, then used what it learned to improve its safeguards. And they make an important point themselves... These aren't examples of what the average Claude user is doing! They deliberately selected some of the more serious and unusual cases they'd found. BUT... I think this does reinforce something I've mentioned several times recently. AI is becoming VERY capable. Which is fantastic when GOOD people use it to do useful things. Unfortunately... The same capabilities don't suddenly disappear when somebody with rather different intentions starts typing! And that's why I think we need both better safeguards from the AI companies... AND humans remaining responsible for what we allow AI and autonomous Agents to actually DO. It does seem like every invention or breakthrough we make as humans - we also manage to find unscroupulous ways to use them for the bnenefit of wrong doers! I guess all we can do really - is keep being the good guys, and hope the bad don't win like they usually do in real life! (Cos there is always the dark web full of AI systems with no guardrails! - But I'm sure the World Governments will find a way to tax us for using good AI in our best interests and for the safety of all etc. blha blah ... more tax please!)

It's been a right battle to get to this stage, because of tech issues, finding that truly unique look and feel that will set us apart, and really finding what will make AI generated videos stand out with a truly human touch. I'm sure we've got all that, and the banner image really conveys the impression of what the channel's about and its core promise. I'll plan out and create a cohesive series of launch videos and get this going by our 4th October target date
