Testing CrossSense at Cambridge Festival
Testing CrossSense at Cambridge Festival
Two trips to Cambridge in one week!
First CrossSense was showcased at @cambridgefestival.bsky.social, where people from all walks of life tested our prototype. Grateful to @braininjuryhrc.bsky.social for inviting us—speaking with members of the public reminded us why we started this journey! #PPIE
Interesting day at a conference on ‘Resilience’ organised by Cambridge Wireless. The closing talk was by an ‘ethical hacker’ showing how insecure most of our everyday products are. Scary and fascinating!

This would be particularly unfortunate, as Open Source AI systems are by nature the most transparent and accessible. https://opensource.org/blog/ensuring-open-source-ai-thrives-under-the-eus-new-ai-rules
💬 "Include us, not just study us." Dr Clíona Farrell shares how PPIE made a dementia research conference more impactful for everyone involved. #PPIE #DementiaResearch @ukdri.ac.uk

@openuk.bsky.social Thank you for #SOOCon25 what a blast! From AI, #OpenData @odihq.bsky.social and green web through #OpenSource government strategy based on transparency, to learning about new projects like InstructLab. Very grateful to all the volunteers who made it possible! #StateOfOpenCon

Here is the official WebSockets logo (not joking, look it up). Notice how the two parts of the "socket" are very like loosely fit? Yeah, that's a pretty accurate description of WebSockets...
Access to compute resource has become a key factor in who can participate in AI development.
Ada’s new report, supported by @mozilla.org, provides policymakers with recommendations for getting public compute policy right.

Great to host our event on AI and education with @nuffieldfoundation.org, following the publication of our joint landscape review.
Thanks to all our panellists and audience for a really interesting discussion!

The conference underscored the importance of co-production, cultural inclusivity, and person-centred care. It's crucial that we work together to improve care for people living with dementia. If you are interested in getting involved, find out more about the project animorph.coop/work/crossse...
Keynote speaker Caroline Scates from Dementia UK highlighted the urgent need for innovation & collaboration. Other compelling speakers included Jennifer Keen from @alzheimerssoc.bsky.social, who covered many areas where AS is driving improvement such as diagnosis, training, and policy interventions.
Inspired by yesterday's Third Annual Dementia Care Conference 2025, hosted by the Institute of Government & Public Policy. The event brought together experts, healthcare professionals, and advocates to discuss challenges, best practices and innovative approaches to dementia care.
Friends, for something to be open source, we need to see
1. The data it was trained & evaluated on
2. The code
3. Model architecture
4. Model weights.
DeepSeek only gives 3, 4. And I'll see the day that anyone gives us #1 without being forced to do so, because all of them are stealing data.
The most impactful open-source project of today (dixit Vercel VP of AI)

Google is acquiring "some of" HTC Vive's engineering team to "accelerate the development of the Android XR platform":
Each time you see a targeted ad, your personal data has just been exposed to thousands of advertisers & data brokers through a process called "real-time bidding" (RTB).
This lets data brokers harvest & monetize your online activity, which fuels government surveillance. 🧵(1/11)
Throughout the presentations, there was a firm commitment to driving innovation through co-designing technology with patients, clinicians and therapists, ensuring the solutions are user-friendly and seamlessly integrated into existing therapy approaches. Very happy to be reaffirmed! #PPI #Neurorehab
It was an absolute delight to participate in the conference and connect with the talented and compassionate individuals from the #SRR community! The event featured a wide range of stimulating research, including non-invasive brain-computer interfaces and innovative psychological therapies...
Interesting: are US restrictions on China spurring innovation in AI? on.ft.com/3Q8k3Mp
Glad at least someone is thinking about this, thank you!
AI companions are on the rise, but what are the possible long-term effects on people and society?
@jamiebernardi.bsky.social examines the potential benefits and risks - both individual and systemic - of this type of AI service.

Our work on projects like CrossSense and EyeFocus embodies the Japanese concept of Ikigai - where passion, skill, and social responsibility meet.
We create software that enhances human potential and so do many of you here.
We look forward to exchanging experiences and learning together!
