Podcast appearances and mentions of Alex Hibbert

What must happen before a business can trust AI agents to detect and resolve operational problems without waiting for human intervention? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I speak with Josh Clay, Regional Vice President of Solution Engineering for Dynatrace in the UK, about autonomous operations, AI observability, fragmented telemetry, business outcomes, and the growing pressure to control token and data costs. Josh has spent much of his 11 years at Dynatrace discussing the road toward autonomous operations. The earliest version involved reducing the time organizations spent inside IT war rooms. He remembers calls with 30 or 40 people attempting to establish which team was responsible for an incident. He jokingly calls this the "mean time to innocence." Modern observability reduced many of those investigations from several hours to between 30 and 60 minutes. Agentic AI creates the possibility of going further by identifying a problem, understanding its cause, and resolving it before the customer experience is affected. That ambition also introduces risk. Josh cites Dynatrace research showing that 52% of respondents view security, privacy, and compliance concerns as barriers to AI adoption. He believes many organizations still lack full observability across their existing technology environments, making autonomous agents harder to supervise. Josh shares a warning from Alex Hibbert of Storia Group: AI can amplify existing technology problems. If telemetry is fragmented, data quality is poor, or teams cannot see how services depend on one another, adding autonomous agents may increase the speed and scale of the resulting failure. Trust therefore depends on visibility. Josh describes observability as a control plane for agentic AI because it can show what an agent is doing, why it made a decision, and what happened afterward. Defined guardrails and real time information can give leaders confidence without asking them to surrender control blindly. The adoption figures show how early this work remains. Josh says 50% of businesses have AI operating in limited production use cases, often performing one isolated task. Only 23% describe their deployments as connected across the wider organization. We discuss how observability has progressed beyond technical monitoring. An airport can measure whether technology changes improve e-gate availability and passenger processing times. A bank can examine whether application performance affects mortgage completion rates. These connections allow leaders to measure AI through business results rather than relying entirely on response times and infrastructure metrics. Reliable agents also need suitable data. Dynatrace says AI agents operating with deterministic data can work 12 times more accurately and three times faster while using two and a half times fewer tokens. These remain company findings, but they demonstrate why context and causality can affect cost as well as reliability. Fragmented telemetry creates another barrier. Logs may sit in one platform, front end monitoring in another, and metrics or traces somewhere else. Attempting to reconstruct every relationship for an AI agent can become expensive and difficult. Josh recommends bringing observability data into a connected environment where relationships between services, cloud resources, traces, metrics, and logs are already understood. He also warns against collecting information simply because it exists. Data hoarding increases ingestion costs and can introduce personal information into systems without a clear business need. The conversation then moves toward AI FinOps. Leaders want to know what agents cost, how many tokens they consume, and whether those costs produce a measurable return. Josh describes a Dynatrace proof of concept that identified potential annual savings just below £250,000 within one small environment. That example reinforces a recurring concern. Organizations are racing to place AI into production, then moving to the next project without reviewing whether the previous environment is appropriately sized or financially efficient. Josh hopes companies will develop a more pragmatic view of AI as another enterprise tool. That means establishing agreed methods for deployment, monitoring, cost management, incident response, and measuring business results. Could observability provide the confidence businesses need to move from isolated AI experiments toward autonomous operations? Listen to the episode and share your thoughts with me.

Never Did It: A podcast for folks who like movies but haven't seen them all yet. This week, we take a short trip back to 2016. Brad Garoon starts by recommending Train to Busan, Yeon Sang-ho's action horror zombie film. They praise the young Kim Su-an for her terrific performance at a young age and revel in how the film's setting amped up its tension. They also list their favorite zombie movies. Then it's time for Brad to apologize for not having seen Moonlight, as Jake assigns him the film. They talk about the amazing parallel performances by Trevante Rhodes, Ashton Sanders, and Alex Hibbert as the lead character Chiron, and dig into why Jake may have forgotten Naomie Harris's turn as the voodoo queen Tia Dalma in a Pirates of the Caribbean movie.

We're back! In de vijfde aflevering van Hoe doe jij dat? de podcast heb ik mijn Engelse vriend Alex te gast om te praten over onze lange afstandsrelatie, verhuizen voor de liefde, emigreren en alle leuke maar ook minder leuke dingen die daar bij komen kijken.

George Bullard (@georgebullardexplorer) is an explorer and world record holder. In 2008, at the age of just 19, George embarked on an expedition with Alex Hibbert to break the world record for the longest unsupported journey in a Polar region. After 113 days, hauling 200 kilos of equipment George and Alex covered 1,374miles to set a new world record. Their journey took them from the south-east corner of Greenland to the north-west coast of Greenland and back again. George has been pushing himself beyond the limits of human endurance for over a decade. His challenges have included swimming the English Channel, as well as cycling 2,500 miles from London to Greece. In 2016, George and his expedition partner Oly Hicks completed a world first by kayaking from Greenland to Scotland, which was a journey of 1,200 miles. They spent between 17-20 and hours a day paddling and had to sleep in their double kayak to complete the journey. In this podcast we talk about George's numerous adventures, his mindset, his motivation, the setbacks and the challenges he faced. We also talk about his expedition challenge company www.igoadventures.com

In a step away from Arctic topics, Alex Hibbert tackles the recent global trend for nationalist politics and the flawed thinking behind them.

Barry Jenkins is the lavishly gifted director and screenwriter of "Moonlight." Fresh off a Golden Globe win for Best Picture Drama, "Moonlight" is shaping up as the one film that can give "La La Land" a run for its Oscar gold. Featuring award-caliber performances from Mahershala Ali, Naomie Harris and the three young actors (Alex Hibbert, Ashton Sanders and Trevante Rhodes) who share the lead role of a boy growing up black, gay and alienated in the Miami projects, "Moonlight" is an emotional wipeout. Jenkins himself says he can't watch the film with an audience. It's that personal. He shares his story about how it all began. * ABOUT POPCORN WITH PETER TRAVERS: This show features the world's biggest stars and top moviemakers.
