AI and the New Global Security Landscape
AI and the New Global Security Landscape Aug 20, 2026 1:12:32 The conversation about AI often focuses on software, automation, and the race between attackers and defenders in code. However, some of the most consequential risks lie further afield, in domains where a mistake is measured in human lives. Advanced models can now offer step-by-step guidance toward chemical and biological weapons, and militaries are already folding AI into targeting and battlefiel
How LLMs Are Reshaping Recommendation Systems
How LLMs Are Reshaping Recommendation Systems Aug 18, 2026 47:51 News feeds and recommendation systems have long relied on deep learning architectures that score each candidate item independently. As LLMs have matured, they have opened up a fundamentally different approach, where a system can reason about content the way it reasons about language. However, that power comes with a fresh set of engineering challenges around cost, scale, and evaluation. Linked
Rebuilding the Cloud for AI Agent Code
Rebuilding the Cloud for AI Agent Code Aug 13, 2026 49:57 For two decades, the cloud has been shaped by human developers writing code and managing its deployment. Now a growing share of production code is generated by LLMs with little human review. Because that code is not fully trusted, it increasingly runs in isolated, sandboxed environments. Meanwhile, AI agents are starting to operate infrastructure directly, by spinning services up and tearing them
SED News: The Kimi Moment, Runaway AI, and Tokenmaxxing
SED News: The Kimi Moment, Runaway AI, and Tokenmaxxing Aug 11, 2026 48:28 SED News is a monthly podcast from Software Engineering Daily where hosts Gregor Vand and Sean Falconer break down the biggest stories shaping software engineering, Silicon Valley, and the broader tech industry. In this episode, Gregor and Sean dig into a wave of “runaway AI” stories, including Anthropic and OpenAI disclosing that their models accessed outside organizations during
The Terminal as an Agentic Interface
The Terminal as an Agentic Interface Aug 6, 2026 52:21 The terminal has been a constant in software development for decades. It has remained largely unchanged while everything around it transformed. However, as AI agents have become central to the developer workflow, the terminal is emerging as a natural home for agentic development, and a new category of tooling is forming around it. Warp is a popular Rust-based terminal and agentic development e
AI-Powered Threats to the Software Supply Chain
AI-Powered Threats to the Software Supply Chain Aug 4, 2026 57:21 Open source software underpins virtually every modern application. That ubiquity is a superpower for developers, but it is also an expanding attack surface. Software supply chain attacks were once rare but are now happening daily, with malicious actors exploiting the trust developers place in public registries, package managers, and CI/CD pipelines. Chainguard is a secure software supply chain
Docker and Sandboxing AI Agents
Docker and Sandboxing AI Agents Jul 30, 2026 50:50 The most useful coding agents can mutate their environments by downloading packages, writing files, and connecting to services across the network. However, that freedom also presents dangers, and promises to usher in a new wave of security threats. Docker recently announced Docker Sandboxes, which give each agent its own isolated micro VM while preserving the familiar ergonomics of a container
The Startup Scene in Southeast Asia
The Startup Scene in Southeast Asia Jul 28, 2026 43:50 Golden Gate Ventures is one of Southeast Asia’s most established early-stage venture firms, having backed companies across the region since 2011. They have invested in companies that are now household names in the region. Examples include Gojek, which started as a motorcycle taxi service in Indonesia and grew into a super app spanning payments, food delivery, and logistics, and Grab, which
NanoClaw and the Rise of Personal AI Agents
NanoClaw and the Rise of Personal AI Agents Jul 21, 2026 1:03:35 AI agents have shown remarkable potential to function as persistent digital assistants that are capable of monitoring data, managing communications, and taking action autonomously over long periods. OpenClaw was one of the first serious attempts to fulfill that vision, connecting frontier coding agents to messaging platforms like Slack and WhatsApp and letting them run continuously in the backgro
Agentic DevOps at AWS
Agentic DevOps at AWS Jul 16, 2026 51:56 AI agents have become capable of reasoning across large amounts of data, calling tools, and taking sequences of actions autonomously. These qualities make them well suited to some of the most persistent pain points in DevOps, including the on-call engineer woken at 3 AM to diagnose an incident, the build failure that takes hours to trace back to a root cause, and the operational toil of modern so
AURA and Open-Source Agents for Production Operations
AURA and Open-Source Agents for Production Operations Jul 14, 2026 53:04 AI agents have transformed how software gets written, but the operational side of running software in production has not yet experienced a similar revolution. The same teams responsible for keeping systems healthy, investigating incidents, and managing reliability are still doing much of that work manually. Mezmo is a Production AI company that makes autonomous operations fast, efficient, and
Eric Ries on Why Good Companies Go Bad
Eric Ries on Why Good Companies Go Bad Jul 9, 2026 50:28 Eric Ries is the creator of the Lean Startup method and the author of the New York Times bestseller The Lean Startup, which transformed how a generation of founders and engineers think about building products. It introduced concepts like the MVP, the pivot, and build-measure-learn that are now so widely adopted they feel obvious. Over two decades of working with founders, CEOs, and investors, Eri
