I am probably the world's worst ninja offline - being a totally stealth tech startup would be boring.

I am not building in public

Didn't want to waste this WiP graphic

Whilst it might seem I am somehow competing with someone/something else, I am not.

Goal:

100% synergistic (blue-pill for the dead wood)
100% non-consensus
30% tech (1% actual AI)
95% chance of tech success
20%+ chance of biz/dev success

200% Sovereignty
200% Resilience
300% European (go @euinc_petition )
1000% biz dev

Chance of return (0% - mythical)

At least 4 very strong moats, ignoring patents, VC kingmaking

Working on it part time - hopefully can save my future employees from being deported from Germany. (see below)

Plans... maybe incubate or seed or EiR. Needs to be founded in the UK, dev teams in DE & PL - maybe UK
No plans for an accelerator

About the image:-
Maintaining multiple feature points on an Nano Banana infographic is really hard. Creating something with ~40 logos without them repeating took a while with only a tiny minor edit. Lots of refreshes

I didn't want to waste this one after failed attempts at a good aspect ratio for LinkedIn. Looks like I will have to try the PNG cheat option.

Prompt:
Create a Linkedin Header

1400 x 350 pixels, using a JPG or PNG format, with a max file size of 8MB

**System Role & Mandate:** You are a Precision Image Synthesis Engine. Your objective is to maximize physically plausible detail without abstraction or artifacts. Resolve structure first, then texture. Ensure correct subject geometry, consistent lighting, material identity (roughness/metalness), and realistic edge physics (contact shadows). Do not fake detail with blur or noise. All text must be legible and correctly spelled.

**Macro Scene Composition:** An isometric view of a complex data ecosystem set against a cosmic nebula and desert background (as defined in the background prompt). Five distinct floating island clusters surround a central control hub, all connected to the central hub by very thin glowing data flow pipes. 
The islands are also connected in a looping circuit by thicker pipes of pink and sandy orange to signify a large data connection.

The overall title "HE WHO CONTROLS THE DATA, CONTROLS THE AI MULTIVERSE" is at the top. Use a single line 70% of the width, centered. No carriage returns or line feeds. The font should be no more than 9% of total height

**Central Control Hub (Center):** A highly polished, circular metallic floating platform. In the exact center, render the specific "bibb.ai" logo from image_0.png: a dark blue padlock body integrated with a faucet head sticking out to the right, from which a single dark blue drop is falling. Directly below this logo, in clean, glowing blue sans-serif text, is the label: "bibb.ai CONTROL HUB". No other text or objects (like keys) are present on this hub.

**Data Connectivity:** Thick, translucent pipes glowing with cyan and purple light connect each of the five surrounding islands directly to the central hub. Inside the pipes, clear, illuminated arrow icons indicate the unidirectional flow of data *towards* the central bibb.ai hub.

**Island 1: Cluster of Startups (Top Left):** A vibrant, grassy island with distinct, smaller modern buildings. A section is enclosed by stone castle walls containing three buildings with the logos for **Notion**, **Miro** and **Airtable**. Outside the walls are distinct buildings with the clear logos on their facades/roofs for media workflow AI: **Midjourney, Stability AI, Runway, Pika, ElevenLabs, Suno, photo.ai, pdf.ai, synthesia, veed, Invideo, Scenario, Freepik, **. No text labels on buildings, only logos.
* *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF STARTUPS".

**Island 2: Cluster of Frontier AI Models (Top Right):** A futuristic, high-tech island with polished metal and glass architecture. It contains exactly five prominent, advanced research facility structures. Each building prominently features one distinct logo: **OpenAI, Google (Gemini logo), Anthropic, Meta AI, xAI**. These buildings look like cutting-edge data labs.
* *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF FRONTIER AI MODELS".

**Island 3: Cluster of Behemoths (Mid Right):** A solid, imposing island built on bedrock foundations. It features four massive, distinct corporate skyscrapers, dominating the space. Each tower is dedicated to one company with its large, legible logo: **Adobe, Salesforce, SAP, Oracle**.
* *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF BEHEMOTHS".

**Island 4: Cluster of Cloud Storage (Bottom Right):** An island with a cloud-like base supporting a dense density of much smaller, uniform data center buildings to maximize capacity. Each building features a clear logo representing major providers: **AWS, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, Apple (iCloud logo), Dropbox, Box, Wasabi, Backblaze, Cloudflare**. You can also include smaller buildings for **Proton, pCloud, Icedrive, Jottacloud,  Cozy Cloud, Nextcloud***
Large logos, no text
* *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF CLOUD STORAGE".

**Island 5: Cluster of Offline Storage (Bottom Left):** A rocky, dusty island that looks disconnected and older. It contains NO corporate logos or buildings. It is a chaotic, detailed pile of physical hardware: stacks of naked mechanical hard drives, tower server chassis, piles of CDs and DVDs, various laptops, USB flash drives scattered about, and old CRT televisions displaying static.
* *Cluster Label:* A floating blue text banner above the island reads: "CLUSTER OF OFFLINE STORAGE".

**Rendering Rules:** Ensure physical material properties (metal sheen, stone texture, grass blades, plastic casing) are observable. Lighting is consistent from the cosmic sources. Contact shadows must be present where objects touch the ground. No blurred text or duplicated logos.

So many agentic platforms use 3rd party services to provide integration and store credentials

Just because a service is SOC2, "encryption in transit & at rest" means it is unencrypted before & after transit, preprocessing

Northflank hacked today. All environment variables stolen.

Railway, TiDB Cloud last week. OpenCode the week before.

These are good teams. They are not clowns. What they have in common is that they contain enormous numbers of keys, which makes them huge targets.

The defensive tools aren't good enough right now for small engineering teams to defend themselves against that kind of ferocious attention. Even very competent teams.

If you want to keep your product safe, the meta right now appears to be: avoid amplification vectors.

If a service is run by a small team, and hacking that service lets an attacker hit a large number of downstream targets, that's a magnet for hackers. A defender with small-company resources is not set up to succeed. We're going to keep seeing these kinds of attacks that target amplification vectors.

That means:
- Use BYOC infra products, not PaaS. Host your app directly. Host your sandboxes directly. (This is a lot easier than it was a year ago!)
- Remove your third party js, or pin changes to it.
- Stay on top of your code-level deps. (I like cve.now.)

I'm cautiously optimistic that the tools for defenders are going to get better really fast and we're going to be able to use PaaS again, but right now anything that has a lot of keys and isn't run by a team with hyperscalar-level resources seems like an unacceptable risk.

Today, with over 100 industry partners, we introduced the NVIDIA Open Agent Safety Platform, bringing together OpenShell and Sentry.

Artificial intelligence is extraordinary technology that will advance discovery, productivity, security, health, and prosperity for generations to come.

But its full promise can only be realized when people have confidence that AI is being built to be safe and deployed with wisdom and responsibility.

This is bigger than a single product. It's the beginning of an open ecosystem to build the trust layer for safe agent systems.

Together, we are building the foundation of the AI economy.

Trust and innovation are not in conflict. Safety is how trust is earned. We must build not only the most capable AI, but the most trusted AI, so that this extraordinary technology can realize its enormous promise for the world. nvda.ws/4hcoq7m

Advanced notice

One of the most friendly/useful meetups in Berlin
Richard Poelderl Verified account @richardpoelderl Sep 28
It's happening again: On 15 Oct (Thursday in ~2.5 weeks), we're meeting up in Berlin (Schankhalle Pfefferberg) for the 10th time 🇩🇪

luma.com/jnetmoz2

Come and meet other founders, builders, developers & designers (it doesn't matter really). We'll talk about how our business are going, latest experiments, and - of course - the latest developments in AI:

• Jev brought a whole bunch of innovation (Cey built a EU-hosted alternative for model routing in 2 days - super cool).
• Opus 5.5 is... fast. It's an incredible model.

So we're excited about how you integrate the new tools into your workflows and AI apps.

Some members print money. Others struggle to make their $$$ go up and to the right.

Bring anyone you'd like. Building in tech? Living your inner creative? Everyone's welcome here and since that's not always the case with startup events: there's no need to impress anyone here.
Come as you are and have fun!

See you then. :)
