BAD AI: Call The Cops

The UK's first AI police officer - 'Bobbi' has been launched by two police forces, to a delighted public.

​

Sounds amazing. Exactly, who wouldn’t want law enforcement powered by predictive text?

​

Alright then, what does Bobbi actually do? It answers FAQs.

​

Impressive, and what doesn’t Bobbi do? Emergencies, burglaries, phone theft, harassment, threats, violence, crime, or anything involving fear, urgency, danger or reality.

​

Sounds like an excellent use of public funding. Indeed. Here's Bobbi, doing its bit to help solve a heinous crime whilst hallucinating correcting non-compliant citizen behaviour.

​

Victim: My Amazon parcel has been pinched from outside my gaff.
​Bobbi: Apologies, but theft is below my empathy threshold.

Victim: Shut up, you metal tw**k, I want to talk to a real copper.
​Bobbi: For that, you'll need to upgrade to our premium human-police tier.

Victim: F*ck off, Bobbi.

Bobbi: Alert: You have been flagged as an aggressive level-3 logistics extremist. Expect a SWAT team to swarm your residence in the next minute or so.

​

Is this the future of crime prevention? No, this much softer version is.

AI MODELS: Claude Opus 4.5

Anthropic has launched Claude Opus 4.5, its latest flagship model with more agentic behaviour, memory and real-world tool control.

​

• Benchmark performance: First model to score over 80% on SWE-Bench Verified, with strong results across others, such as for reasoning.
• Autonomous workflows: Designed to run as a lead agent, coordinating sub-agents across multi-step tasks and longer-running workflows.
• Architecture & memory: Major upgrades to long-context memory, including silent compression and new 'endless chat' (Good - as Claude rate limits were painful) behaviour that maintains continuity without user interruption.
• Product integrations: Native Claude for Chrome and Claude for Excel are now rolling out - browser control, spreadsheet manipulation, formula handling and workbook navigation.

​

What it means for businesses:​
This is a move towards AI as a supervising operator. Teams can think about automating multi-step workflows, running code audits and documenting processes without as much human babysitting (as always, have checks and balances in place).

​

Wider context:​
The arms race has moved from the biggest model to the most embedded. Memory, agents and native tool control are becoming crucial, as Anthropic squares up to GPT-5.1 and Gemini 3.0.

IMAGE UPGRADES: Google Nano Banana Pro

Google launched Nano Banana Pro last week - its upgraded image model, with better editing control, resolution and more real-world production workflows.

​

• Image quality & control: Generates detailed images with precise control over camera angles, lighting, depth of field, focus and colour grading.
• Resolution & realism: Jumps from 1024px caps to 2K and 4K output, with support for blending up to 14 objects and maintaining consistency across five people.
• Web-connected creation: Can search the web to power outputs - pulling references and data to generate visual assets.
• Cost & performance trade-offs: Higher quality comes with slower generation and higher cost - up to $0.24 per 4K image.

​

What it means for businesses:​
This is a bit of a turning point for image generation - from a useful tool to a potentially default creative platform. Marketing, brand and content teams now have more controllable, high-res outputs that can replace parts of design, mockups and campaign creatives.

​

Wider context:​
Google is hard-wiring generative media into its entire stack - Gemini, Search, Slides, Vids, NotebookLM and APIs. From being caught napping by OpenAI, they are pushing hard on closing the gap - and the latest releases (Gemini 3.0, NotebookLM etc.) and upgrades are making a good case.

​

PS: If you want your very own career map (like Tom's image above), reply to this email with 'Map' - we'll do one for the first 5 people to respond.
