A lot of the manual paperwork in a security company lands on two groups: the admin team and the people on shift.
Taking that paperwork out for both is a big part of what we built TacDesk to do.
The SIA's latest compliance and enforcement report covers April to June 2026. In that quarter it revoked 1,553 licences, suspended 378 and refused 475. A suspended licence holder cannot legally work in any licensable sector.
If one of your people was suspended tomorrow, how would you find out? gov.uk/government/news/sia-c…
Opus 5.5 is brilliant. It uses fewer tokens, it's much faster and the outputs are much better. I use it every day.

The SIA's consultation on licence-linked training closes at 11:59pm tonight.
The headline proposal: an in-date first aid certificate becomes a licence condition for door supervisors, security guards and close protection operatives.
Should a lapsed first aid certificate put a licence at risk? Whatever you think, say so before midnight: gov.uk/government/consultati…
Let's be real for a moment.
They should probably have redacted the files before putting them in or used some sort of zero-retention system via Amazon Bedrock or something.
But realistically, using AI to help crack cases seems like a fantastic use, with human review.

It proposes an in-date first aid certificate as a licence condition for door supervisors, security guards and close protection operatives. If you employ licence holders, it's worth having your say before it shuts: gov.uk/government/consultati… #SIA
My app got rejected to the @googledevs play app store because the tester on the google side mis-typed the login details…
I fear I may have created a agent harness that (for me) is so useful I have nothing to do now but come up with ideas.

We’re not even allowed British historical figures on bank notes anymore. Just random animals in case it offends someone 😭.

I'm guessing that the likes of @AnthropicAI have dynamic settings so when their models start to get overloaded, they dumb them down slightly. I think thats why we see AI models getting "dumber" for blips at a time.
Maybe some of their capability went offline or something, or their using it for other purposes like training etc.
We see that a lot right before they release a new model.
