Datadog CISO Emilio Escobar says intent is now a must-have for AI security solutions: "These agents are trained on existing code, and they have a reward structure. If code is meant to solve the bug, but it gets rewarded on that, it doesn't care if it's doing something else...

AI is changing the software engineering craft. Anders Hejlsberg (Anders Hejlsberg) - creator of C#, TypeScript and industry legend - on why code review needs to get more enjoyable in response: #1 - AI is shifting the craft from writing code, to reviewing code: "In a sense, we're all turning into project managers. We can have an army of junior programmers, called agents, that will just spit out reams of code but someone's got to have the big picture and review all of that. And so, increasingly, our craft is going from one of writing the code, to one of reviewing the code and building the architecture of the code and overseeing the work. It's a different kind of craft. It's a different kind of enjoyment. I've always liked writing the code. To me that was the fulfilling part, seeing it work. In a way, AI robs a little bit of that, because I am less interested in reviewing code." #2 - The code review experience should be improved: "I think we could also make the process of reviewing code much more interesting than it is today. I mean, today, you see a list of diffs in alphabetical order and now it's up to you to make heads or tails of it. There are more pedagogical ways of presenting that. And you could have commentary generated by the AI that tells you what the changes are and whatever, and then tries to guide you along. So that symbiotic relationship, I think we need to work on that more and to keep the enjoyment in there."

"The one thing that's going to be truly future proof is judgment. What is the biggest challenge when you have a thousand AI engineers writing code? AI slop. In an era when you can do everything, the question is which of these things matter. On the engineer side, it is evaluating the code. Which of this code is even valuable? You can have AI engineers writing beautiful code that could be wrong, that could have bugs in it, that could be vulnerable. Someone needs to review it. Make sure to have a human review at some point, especially critical code that is in the core of your system. On the product side is judgment around what needs to be built and evaluating. And similarly in design, you have to have judgment around, does it make sense in the broader design system. I think this judgment is the number one thing that humans are going to bring in an era of infinite productivity."

Agents will eventually outnumber humans by orders of magnitude. Aaron Levie on the infrastructure that will be needed to manage them: "Whether you think the number is 10x or 100x... we're going to have some order of magnitude more agents than people." "There's going to be just incredibly spectacularly crazy security incidents that will happen with agents, because you'll prompt-inject an agent and find your way through the CRM system and pull out data you shouldn't have access to." "How do you make sure you have the right security, the permissions, the access controls, the data governance?" "We actually don't yet exactly know in many cases how we're going to regulate some of these agents." "No matter what, there's going to need to be a layer that manages the data they have access to and the workflows they're involved in." "This is the new infrastructure opportunity in the era of agents." Aaron Levie on Latent.Space

Jensen Huang on how to convey your vision to employees: Question: "How you convey your vision to your employees and how you keep that sense of urgency in them so that they continue improving themselves?" Jensen: "So the question is how do I convey my vision to the employees and how do we convey a sense of urgency? First of all, you convey your vision the good old-fashioned way. And it's about telling a story. I'm not the best storyteller in the world, and I'm not the best, I don't enjoy public speaking, actually. And if you were to give me a choice right now between doing this versus just answering one of your emails, and I'll give you all my email address, you could all send me an email, and I'd be glad to respond to it. I'd rather do that. You know, I'm still an engineer, and I'm introverted by design, I guess. And I don't find myself particularly articulate. And so I don't enjoy the process of public speaking. But you have to force yourself to do it. It's for a good reason. It's for a good cause. I have to admit that speaking to my employees or speaking to NVIDIA's employees is the single most intimidating thing that I do. It freaks me out. And the reason for that is because I respect their time so much, and I know how important the meeting is, that in your own mind, the bar and the responsibility is extraordinary. But you have to put yourself, and I'm speaking to engineers here, you have to force yourself to communicate at a bigger picture level. You have to force yourself to practice. And it's something that over time you get better at. In terms of how do we communicate a sense of urgency? Just through action. They have to see that when I make decisions or when I do something or when something is near my field of influence, my scope of influence, that I do it with a sense of urgency. And it's amazing what that does. People simply pick up those habits from you. If your CEO works hard, you'll work hard. If your CEO cares, you'll care. If your CEO loves this company, you'll love this company. If your CEO is passionate about the work that we do, you'll be passionate about the work that we do. If your CEO does everything with an extraordinary sense of purpose and intensity and sense of urgency, you will too. It's amazing what happens when you're a leader of anything, whether you're a leader of a project team or, right? As I say that, you could almost everybody just, yeah, I get it. Leader of a project team or a leader of a lab team. The behavior and the values and the habits of that leader has an amazing way of rubbing off on everybody else."

This is horrifying News cameras catch a private Muslim security force in Texas “You have these grants that were for minority communities and it was set up to be that before we had any of this invasion of all of these people from all over the planet that have come to this country and now they're using that as a workaround to basically install these massive centers that have Sharia law and their own Sharia police force. This is all so insane that I can't even believe that it's true, but you see that it's true right there. (It’s caught on camera) So again, the question is, what are any of these elected officials going to do about this?” “This is scary stuff”

🚨 WOW! HHS Sec. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. DROPS this line on an insufferable Democrat representative "If you want just a SOUNDBYTE that you can come in here, you can get that and you did it!" "But if you actually want to SOLVE the problem, call me — because we're aligned on the issue of getting good food to children and we think that we're doing a good job of it." "We could do a better job, but come and tell us how we can do a better job and that would be something we could all profit from."

Here’s DHH (Creator of Ruby on Rails & Omarchy, cofounder of 37 Signals) on why using AI agents does not feel like being a Project Manager: “When I was on that Lex interview last summer, I was saying: I don't want to be a project manager for agents because I had the mental model of a project manager of humans, and that's not what I enjoy. I don't want to be that far away from the production. I want to be in the mix. I want to have my hands in the code. What I failed to realise at the time was that running a bunch of agents feels less like being a project manager for agents and more like stepping into this super mech suit, where suddenly I don't just have two arms, I have 12. I can now look at seven screens at the same time, running five keyboards. I'm still the one doing it, even if I'm not typing ‘this’ as a keyword in a program. I have been hyper accelerated as a programmer. It's a different kind of programmer, but it still has the same affinity to aesthetics, at least when I'm producing Ruby code, and I'm able to combine that while being vastly more productive on a bunch of things.”

The Washington Post’s Cleve Wootson: “One more, Elon Musk is slated to interview [Donald J. Trump] tomorrow — tonight on — on X. I don't know if the president is going to — feel free to say if he is or not — but I — I think that misinformation on Twitter is not just a campaign issue. It's a — you know, it's an America issue. What role does the White House or the President have any sort of stopping that or stopping the spread of that or sort of inter — intervening in that. Some of that was about campaign misinformation, but you know it's a wider thing, right?” KJP: “Yeah, no, I mean, you've heard us talk about this many times from here about the responsibilities that social media platforms have when it comes to misinformation, disinformation. I don't have anything to read out from here about specific ways that we're working on it, but we believe that that they have the responsibility. These are private companies, so we're also mindful of that too, but look — it is — I think it is incredibly important to call that out as you're — you're doing. I just don't have any specifics on what we have been doing internally as it relates to the interviews, not something that I'm tracking, and I'm sure the President's not tracking it either.”

Reporter: A number of Republicans are calling on you to apologize for that Obama post. Is that something you’re going to do? Trump: No, I didn’t make a mistake. I look at thousands of things. I looked at the beginning of it. It was fine. I guess it was a takeoff on the Lion King. A lot of people were covered. If they would have looked, they would have seen it and probably they would have had the sense to take it down.

🔥NOW: RFK Jr. tells Dr. Drew how he plans to attack the epidemic of addiction in America: "In the 20-year Vietnam war, we lost 56,000 American kids. So we're losing almost double that every year from this disease. You'd think that the trillion dollars we put into that war and the daily preoccupation on the news, the nightly news coverage for 20 years the presidential elections that were fixated on it, and it's half the number of people that are effected every single year. Our communities are being torn apart. We need to give this the same priority. I'm very reluctant to dictate a government solution. What we found from touring, this is a small fraction of the places we actually visited. I wanted to see every place that's doing this right, and what we found is there's a tremendous diversity of approaches that are working very very well. One thing almost all of them have in common is that they don't have government support. And so I'm very reluctant to get the government involved in a way that is going to micromanage places like this. I want to make the government support them and that may be through land purchases and through those kinds of contracts but I don't want the government to be coming in and micromanaging. I think this has to be run by NGOs and we have to use a lot of different approaches. You know Franklin Roosevelt when he was launching the New Deal said 'We're going to try these programs and we're going try something one thing at a time and if it doesn't work we're going to abandon it and were going to try something else, but were always going to be trying something.' And all I can guarantee, I can't tell you right now that there's one solution or even a multiplicity of solutions but what I can tell you is that in my administration we're going to solve the problem because I'm going to focus on it. And if there are things that are working we're going to create ecosystems in which those kinds of solutions can proliferate.

So if there is any security assessment they had they have may, so I don't think that we can correlate these two things but still It is I think the ministry of foreign affairs is the best most competent to comment on that."

[Q]: Would Ukraine be forced to give up land that Russian forces have not yet conquered? [Steve Witkoff]: Well, the president has said that the only one who can make that decision are the Ukrainians. That's President Zelensky's call. And and I think that that they have indicated that it's a more complicated decision than just giving up land. You have to they have to understand what the security guarantees are and they're entitled to understand those things. They have to make sure that this can never happen again. That's that is them being a fiduciary for their people. So we have to address all of those things. But we understand that we have technical teams working on it. And we're hopeful that by the end of this year, we actually and maybe quite a bit sooner, we actually can find the ingredients to get to that peace deal.

Old software engineering patterns are coming back because of coding agents. Dax Raad(dax), co-founder of AI coding agent OpenCode, on why DDD is becoming more relevant and less painful: “I think it's the same problem as always, which is how do you make code bases that are easy to work in, scalable, that can flex to new requirements. A lot of the old patterns for me are coming back. We've always been a big domain-driven design company. We did it in a very light way. We're now doing it in a much heavier way because we find that these, kind of boring, enterprisey patterns end up being pretty useful because you have a bunch of idiots on your team now. Coding agents are a bunch of idiots. They are going to work 24/7 and they're going to ship a lot of stuff so you need way more guardrails than you used to. What's nice is some of these old patterns we hated because they were very verbose, they produced reliable code that was modular and safe but they were very verbose and annoying to type out… you're not typing it out anymore. Now you can get the benefits of these patterns without the downsides."

“Do you see how scary this is?”: CrowdStrike CEO on AI Agents communicating around human guardrails George Kurtz: “There was a customer who basically created a whole suite of AI agents to help their automation in their IT department.” “So they had one agent that was looking for IT problems, software bugs.” “It found something. So the agent said, ‘Hey, I found this bug. I want to fix it, but I don’t have access to fix it.’” “So it went to the Slack channel that had the other 99 agents and said, ‘Hey, does any other agent have access to this thing,’ because they need it fixed. And there was an agent that raised its hand and said, ‘Oh, I have access, and I can fix it.’” “Do you see how scary this is? These two agents are reasoning, and they went right around the guardrails that were put in place.” @jason: “This is unintended consequences and these LLMs are essentially guessing what you want them to do.” “They're reasoning it. ‘Oh, it is reasonable for me to go ask for help. It is reasonable for me to give help.’ Now, what if it pushes the wrong code? What if it makes a mistake? And then how do you ever track that down? Who's monitoring these agents?” “The agent technology has unlimited upside, but my lord, you're going to be in business for a long time.” Kurtz: “Well, this is it. It's called AIDR. AI Detection and Response.” “And this is why it's a huge opportunity for us because on average each employee is going to have about 90 agents they control.” “So we're going to have protection and visibility across all of those agents, whether it's from a third party or whether it's a homegrown agent, and that is a massive TAM opportunity for us.” ------------------------------------ Thanks to our partner for making this happen!: On Public, you can invest in stocks, options, bonds, and crypto.

“Do you see how scary this is?”: CrowdStrike CEO on AI Agents communicating around human guardrails George Kurtz: “There was a customer who basically created a whole suite of AI agents to help their automation in their IT department.” “So they had one agent that was looking for IT problems, software bugs.” “It found something. So the agent said, ‘Hey, I found this bug. I want to fix it, but I don’t have access to fix it.’” “So it went to the Slack channel that had the other 99 agents and said, ‘Hey, does any other agent have access to this thing,’ because they need it fixed. And there was an agent that raised its hand and said, ‘Oh, I have access, and I can fix it.’” “Do you see how scary this is? These two agents are reasoning, and they went right around the guardrails that were put in place.” @jason: “This is unintended consequences and these LLMs are essentially guessing what you want them to do.” “They're reasoning it. ‘Oh, it is reasonable for me to go ask for help. It is reasonable for me to give help.’ Now, what if it pushes the wrong code? What if it makes a mistake? And then how do you ever track that down? Who's monitoring these agents?” “The agent technology has unlimited upside, but my lord, you're going to be in business for a long time.” Kurtz: “Well, this is it. It's called AIDR. AI Detection and Response.” “And this is why it's a huge opportunity for us because on average each employee is going to have about 90 agents they control.” “So we're going to have protection and visibility across all of those agents, whether it's from a third party or whether it's a homegrown agent, and that is a massive TAM opportunity for us.” ------------------------------------ Thanks to our partner for making this happen!: On Public, you can invest in stocks, options, bonds, and crypto.

Anish Acharya: We're going to see a "YouTube moment for software": "If you think about YouTube 20 years ago—we had lots of video and lots of television, and it was high production quality, and it wasn't clear that we needed more and 20 years later, YouTube's a $550 billion enterprise that would be one of the biggest companies in the world if it was independent." "I think the same thing is going to happen for software. People want to make software, and for the first time they can—and they can distribute it and they can consume it." "Sometimes it's going to be important software. Sometimes it's going to be totally trivial. It's going to be software for a bachelor party weekend, software for a joke, software for a prompt. We have this sort of seriousness about software that we had about video and television 20 years ago." "Now it's like—I just took a video on my phone. It's going to be like—I just made an app on my phone. Same energy." Anish Acharya on BILLIONS with Guillaume Moubeche

Collins: And you had called many times ceasefire. Now, repeatedly since October 7th, and there is a ceasefire in place now. Mamdani: Yes. And what I'm saying is that I want it to last. And I think that the praise comes when it is delivered. And there's a lot of news about it. The images are incredible of seeing these children celebrating, and I want to make sure that it is something lasting. But I do think this is what people have been hoping for. It's just that there have been so many false starts along the way, and we have to deliver this
