Recent analysis from Goldman Sachs indicates that $700 billion in AI investment during 2025 resulted in no measurable U.S. GDP growth, with most AI equipment imports negating domestic benefits and 80% of surveyed firms reporting no productivity or employment improvements. This pattern suggests that AI-related spending has primarily shifted margins from enterprise IT budgets to a small number of infrastructure vendors rather than delivering distributed value. Internal concerns are rising, with 90% of IT leaders questioning AI's return on investment, and 80% citing fragmented data as a primary challenge to measuring outcomes. Further context reveals that agentic AI initiatives face operational headwinds: Gartner expects 40% of such projects to be cancelled by 2027, and S&P Global found nearly half are abandoned before production, most often due to inadequate planning and data foundations. Margin erosion is widespread, attributed to AI implementation costs, and attempts to scale AI agents into production remain limited by inference costs and insufficient infrastructure. Despite increased adoption efforts, sustainable value delivery from AI platforms remains elusive for most organizations. Enterprise AI access is becoming increasingly concentrated. OpenAI's partnership with consulting firms such as BCG, McKinsey, Accenture, and Capgemini consolidates control of the enterprise distribution layer, narrowing competitive opportunities for smaller providers. Meanwhile, Amazon's 13-hour AWS outage, linked to the misconfiguration of an internal AI tool, underscores the liability ambiguity in agentic systems—where vendors may attribute autonomous actions to user error, complicating risk assignment. Additional updates from vendors such as Anthropic, Cloudflare, and New Relic address incremental technical capabilities, with a distinct focus on cost, operational governance, and policy enforcement. The prevailing themes for MSPs and IT leaders are increased scrutiny of AI value, heightened exposure to cost and accountability risk, and the emergence of managed service opportunities around data governance, cost instrumentation, and liability management. With enterprise market channels consolidating and risk shifting toward service providers, integrating robust contractual definitions for autonomy, incident attribution, and financial boundaries is essential to limit harm and clarify responsibility before incidents occur.

Hello to you listening in Spokane, Washington! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga. Christopher Armitage writing The Existentialist Republic on Substack posted an article entitled Democrats Can Launch Criminal Investigations into DOGE, Today. According to Armitage dozens of state investigations have the power to bring criminal actions to hold Musk/DOGE accountable for pirating private Social Security Administration (SSA) data and releasing it to third parties. Click HERE to read the article and get ready to take steps to e-mail your County Prosecutor, Governor and Attorney General.     Following are three email templates you can use if you live in the Great State of Washington. For all other states, please check the Substack article comments to find yours. If you don't see your state, comment in the post to receive your state's relevant statutes and templates to email. Thank you for listening and taking action wherever your feet touch the ground! Email 1: To your Washington State County Prosecutor Dear, I'm writing to request that your office refer a matter to Attorney General Nick Brown for criminal investigation under RCW 43.10.232. In a January 16, 2026 court filing in AFSCME v. Social Security Administration (D. Md., No. 1:25-cv-00596), the U.S. Department of Justice admitted that employees of the Department of Government Efficiency, while embedded at the Social Security Administration, transferred agency data to an unauthorized third-party server called Cloudflare outside all SSA security protocols. The SSA has confirmed it cannot determine what data was shared or whether it still exists on that server. A DOGE team member also sent an encrypted file believed to contain the names and addresses of roughly 1,000 people to the Department of Homeland Security and DOGE leadership, and the SSA has been unable to access the file to verify its contents. The filing further revealed that a DOGE employee signed a "Voter Data Agreement" with a political advocacy group seeking to match Social Security records against state voter rolls to overturn election results in certain states. The SSA made two Hatch Act referrals to the Office of Special Counsel as a result. Separately, NPR has reported that DOGE engineer Aram Moghaddassi contacted the Florida governor's office about state voter data while working simultaneously at SSA and DHS, and that a DOGE associate publicly claimed to have matched SSA data against voter rolls at a political rally. SSA records include the personal information of Washington residents in [your county]. This conduct may constitute violations of Washington's identity theft statute (RCW 9.35.020) and the Washington Cybercrime Act (RCW 9A.90). Federal officials do not have blanket immunity from state criminal prosecution when they exceed the scope of their authorized duties. I'm asking you to refer this matter to Attorney General Brown so his Criminal Justice Division can investigate whether Washington residents were victims of state crimes. The AG's office has confirmed it needs a referral from a county prosecutor or the governor to act. You have the authority to open that door. Thank you for your time and your service to our community. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] Email 2: To the Washington State Governor Ferguson Dear Governor Ferguson, I'm writing to request that your office refer a matter to Attorney General Nick Brown for criminal investigation under RCW 43.10.232. In a January 16, 2026 court filing in AFSCME v. Social Security Administration (D. Md., No. 1:25-cv-00596), the U.S. Department of Justice admitted that employees of the Department of Government Efficiency, while embedded at the Social Security Administration, transferred agency data to an unauthorized third-party server called Cloudflare outside all SSA security protocols. The SSA has confirmed it cannot determine what data was shared or whether it still exists on that server. A DOGE team member also sent an encrypted file believed to contain the names and addresses of roughly 1,000 people to the Department of Homeland Security and DOGE leadership, and the SSA has been unable to access the file to verify its contents. The filing further revealed that a DOGE employee signed a "Voter Data Agreement" with a political advocacy group seeking to match Social Security records against state voter rolls to overturn election results in certain states. The SSA made two Hatch Act referrals to the Office of Special Counsel as a result. Separately, NPR has reported that a DOGE engineer contacted the Florida governor's office about state voter data while working simultaneously at SSA and DHS, and that a DOGE associate publicly claimed to have matched SSA data against voter rolls at a political rally. These actions may constitute violations of Washington's identity theft statute (RCW 9.35.020) and the Washington Cybercrime Act (RCW 9A.90). The personal information of millions of Washington residents is contained in SSA records. Federal officials do not have blanket immunity from state criminal prosecution when they exceed the scope of their authorized duties, and a state conviction cannot be erased by a presidential pardon. The Attorney General's office has confirmed it requires a referral from a county prosecutor or the governor to investigate and prosecute criminal matters. I'm asking you to make that referral so Attorney General Brown can determine whether Washington residents were victims of state crimes. Thank you for your leadership. Sincerely, [Your Name] [Your Address] Email 3: To the Washington State Attorney General's Office The Honorable Nick Brown, I understand that the Washington Attorney General's office requires a referral from a county prosecutor or the governor to investigate and prosecute criminal matters. Toward that end I've written to both my [insert your county's name]  County prosecutor [insert the prosecutor's name] and Governor Ferguson requesting that they make such a referral. Specifically, I've asked them to refer the matter of DOGE employees' handling of Social Security Administration data, as described in the January 2026 DOJ court filing and subsequent reporting, for investigation under Washington's identity theft statute (RCW 9.35.020) and the Washington Cybercrime Act (RCW 9A.90). I wanted your office to be aware that this request is coming, and I hope Attorney General Brown will be prepared to act when the referral arrives.

Welcome to episode 343 of The Cloud Pod, where the forecast is always cloudy! Justin, Ryan, and Matt are in the studio this week bringing you all the latest in Cloud and AI news, including some of the smaller clouds like Cloudflare and Crusoe Cloud, as well as announcements from the big guys like Google's Gemini DeepThink, Anthropic's big pay day, and Microsoft's Notepad problem.

Microsoft’s Notepad Upgrade Also Introduced a Vulnerability | PCMag Microsoft’s recent Notepad modernization introduced CVE-2026-20841, a vulnerability in the new Markdown support feature that allows malicious links in files to execute remote code.  The flaw has been patched in the February 2026 security updates, but it highlights the security trade-offs when adding features to historically simple applications. The vulnerability exploits Notepad’s Markdown rendering capability, which Microsoft added in May to support lightweight markup language formatting. When Notepad opens a specially crafted Markdown file, embedded malicious links can trigger unverified protocols that load and execute remote files on the system. This incident raises questions about feature bloat in core Windows utilities, particularly as Microsoft continues adding network-dependent capabilities like AI-powered text writing to Notepad. Security researchers are debating

Google has confirmed that state-backed threat actors are operationally using Gemini across the intrusion lifecycle — not experimentally, but strategically. In this episode of Security Squawk, we break down how AI is being integrated into reconnaissance, phishing refinement, vulnerability research, and even dynamic malware generation. According to Google's Threat Intelligence Group, multiple clusters — including DPRK-linked actors — are using Gemini to synthesize OSINT, map organizational structures, refine recruiter impersonation campaigns, and research exploit paths. In one case, malware known as HONESTCUE leveraged Gemini's API to dynamically generate C# code for stage-two payload behavior, compile it in memory using legitimate .NET tooling, and execute filelessly. This isn't a zero-day story. It's a friction story. At the same time, two individuals in Connecticut were charged for allegedly using thousands of stolen identities to exploit FanDuel's onboarding and promotional systems. No exotic exploit. No advanced intrusion chain. Just automated workflow abuse at scale. The pattern is clear: AI is compressing attacker timelines, and identity-driven fraud is industrializing predictable processes. We examine: How AI-enhanced phishing eliminates traditional grammar-based red flags Why trusted SaaS domains (Gemini share links, Discord CDNs, Cloudflare fronting, Supabase backends) are weakening reputation-based defenses What model distillation attempts (100,000+ structured prompts) signal about API abuse and intellectual property risk How fileless malware compiled with legitimate developer tooling challenges signature-based detection Why onboarding workflows and recruiting processes are now primary attack surfaces For CEOs, this is about erosion of trust anchors and shifting insurability expectations. For IT Directors and SOC leaders, this means reevaluating fileless execution visibility, API anomaly detection, and the reliability of reputation filtering models. For MSPs and risk managers, breaches will increasingly originate from workflow exploitation rather than perimeter misconfiguration. AI didn't invent new attack types. It removed friction from existing ones. And when friction disappears, scale compounds. If your recruiting, onboarding, verification, or AI product interfaces can be scripted — they can be weaponized. This episode is about operational clarity in a rapidly compressing threat landscape.

This week, I discuss my review of Peacock's Super Bowl stream, which was executed flawlessly, along with some of the limited viewership numbers released to date. I also detail the new live TV bundles from YouTube TV, the launch of HBO Max in the UK and Ireland and a new bundle from Sky that includes Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, and Hayu. I cover earnings results from Roku (full-year revenue up 15%), AMC Networks (AMC+ price increase), Optimum (lost 49,000 pay-TV subs), Amagi (which had its IPO last month) and positive earnings from Fastly and Cloudflare, with Fastly stock up 116% in the week of earnings.Finally, with the hyperscalers projected to collectively spend close to $700 billion in capex in 2026, I break down what we are seeing in the bond market for their capital raise, the risks, and why analysts expect free cash flow to plummet this year.Podcast produced by Security Halt Media

 Today we are breaking down the cybersecurity giant, Cloudflare.  Today, Cloudflare controls over 20% of the world's web traffic, and more impressively, absorbs 2.5mn cyber attacks per second. My guest is Sam Eden, Investor at Square Peg's Global Tech Fund. And while I understood on the surface what Cloudflare does, Sam helped me get into the weeds on how the digital pipes actually work. So we go through the rise of Cloudflare and how they differentiated themselves vs. the incumbents and fellow upstarts. Through this story, Sam details the product offerings that led to Cloudflare's leading market share, and what growth looks like moving forward.  Please enjoy this episode on Cloudflare.  For the full show notes, transcript, and links to the best content to learn more, check out the episode page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ — Become a Colossus member to get our quarterly print magazine and private audio experience, including exclusive profiles and early access to select episodes.

Following the "aggressive" selloff seen in the software names, Kevin Green points to Cloudflare's (NET) surge higher after an earnings beat as a potential boon for the overall group. Meanwhile, Shopify (SHOP) is also enjoying "a nice move to the upside" says KG as he breaks down the company's AI initiatives and goes inside its earnings report. For today's trading, KG turns to the options market saying 7000 will be a "major focal point" but adds that downside 6900 puts volume are rising.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Wednesday morning's earnings movers has one big winner and two notable losers, says Diane King Hall. She explains why Cloudflare's (NET) growth tied to AI agents has investors rewarding the stock with a 20% rally. Unity (U) shares fell more than 20% with its weaker-than-expected guidance outweighing an earnings beat. Diane also notes how Verizon (VZ) stole some of T-Mobile's (TMUS) customer base, cutting into its earnings. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Der Januar-Arbeitsmarktbericht fiel wesentlich stärker aus als die Wall Street erwartet hatte. Statt 65.000 geschaffenen Jobs, wurden 130.000 Stellen geschaffen. Wir sehen in Reaktion feste Futures, einen freundlichen US-Dollar und anziehende Renditen der langlaufenden Staatsanleihen. Investoren hatten Bedenken, dass der Arbeitsmarkt nach all den schwachen Vorboten enttäuschen würde. Die Reaktion auf die seit gestern Abend gemeldeten Ergebnisse sind gemischt. Während die Aktien von Shopify, Cloudflare, Vertiv und Global Foundries teils deutlich durchstarten, sehen wir starken Abgabedruck bei den Aktien von Mattel, Kraft Heinz, Lyft, Unity Software und Robinhood.

Lazar Jovanovic is a full-time professional vibe coder at Lovable. His job is to build both internal tools and customer-facing products purely using AI, while not having a coding background. In this conversation, he breaks down the tactics, workflows, and framework that let him ship production-quality products using only AI.We discuss:1. Why having no coding background can be an advantage when building with AI2. Why most of your time should go to planning and chat mode, not prompting3. What to do when you get stuck: his 4x4 debugging workflow4. The PRD and Markdown file system that keeps AI agents aligned across complex builds5. Why kicking off four or five parallel prototypes is the best way to clarify your thinking6. Why design skills and taste are going to be the most important skills in the future7.

Tyler Whittle, Head of Product at Project 11 , joins us to talk about the intersection of quantum hardware and cryptographic security. He explains why current encryption like RSA and ECC are vulnerable , the progress made by Google's Willow in noise reduction , and the specific NIST timelines for 2035.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn [00:00]: In this week’s In Ear Insights, let’s talk about autonomous AI. The talk of the town for the last week or so has been the open source project first named Claudebot, spelled C L A W D. Anthropic’s lawyers paid them a visit and said please don’t do that. So they changed it to Maltbot and then no one could remember that. And so they have changed it finally now to Open Claw. Their mascot is still a lobster. This is in a condensed version, a fully autonomous AI system that you install on a. Christopher S. Penn [00:35]: Please, if you’re thinking about on a completely self contained computer that is not on your main production network because it is made of security vulnerabilities, but it interfaces with a bunch of tools and hasn’t connected to the AI model of your choice to allow you to basically text via WhatsApp or Telegram with an agent and have it go off and do things. And the the pitch is a couple things. One, it has a lot of autonomy so it can just go off and do things. There were some disasters when it first came out where somebody let it loose on their production work computer and immediately started buying courses for them. We did not see a bump in the Trust Insights courses, so that’s unfortunate. But the idea being it’s supposed to function like a true personal assistant. Christopher S. Penn [01:33]: You just text it and say hey, make me an appointment with Katie for lunch today at noon PM at this restaurant and it will go off and figure out how to do those things and then go off and do them. And for the most part it is very successful. The latest thing is people have been just setting it loose. They a bunch of folks created some plugins for it that allow it to have its own social network called Mult Book, where which is a sort of a Reddit clone where hundreds of thousands of people’s open Claw systems are having conversations with each other that look a lot like Reddit and some very amusing writing there. Christopher S. Penn [02:12]: Before I go any further Katie, your initial impressions about a fully autonomous personal AI that may or may not just go off and do things on its own that you didn’t approve? Katie Robbert [02:24]: Hard pass period. No, and thank you for the background information. So I, you know, as I mentioned to you, Chris Offline, I don’t really know a lot about this. I know it’s a newer thing, but it’s like picked up speed pretty quickly. I thought people were trying to be edgy by spelling it incorrectly in terms of it being part of Claude, but now understanding that Claude stepped in and was like heck no. That explains the name because I was very confused by that. I was like, okay, you know, I, I think a lot of us have always wanted some sort of an admin or personal assistant for paperwork or, you know, making appointments and stuff. Like, so I can definitely see the potential. Katie Robbert [03:10]: But it sounds like there’s a lot of things that need to be worked out with the technology in terms of security, in terms of guardrails. So let’s say I am your average, everyday operations person. I’m drowning in the weeds of admin and everything, and I see this as a glimmer of hope. And I’m like, ooh, maybe this is the thing. I don’t know a lot about it. What do I need to consider? What are some questions I should be asking before I go ahead and let this quote unquote, autonomous bot take over my life and possibly screw things up? Christopher S. Penn [03:54]: Number one, don’t use this at work. Don’t use this for anything important. Run this on a computer that you are totally okay with just burning down to the ground and reformatting later. There are a number of services like Cloudflare, with Cloudflare’s workers and Hetzner and a bunch of other companies that have, they very quickly, very smartly rolled out very inexpensive plans where you can set up a open clause server on their infrastructure that is self contained and that at any point you just, you can just hit the self destruct button. Katie Robbert [04:27]: Well, and I want to acknowledge that because you said, you know, you started by saying, like, any computer, I don’t know a lot of people besides yourself and other handful who have extra computers lying around. You know, it’s not something that the average, you know, professional has. You know, some of us are using, you know, laptops that we get from the company that we work for and if we ever leave that job, we have to give that computer back. And so we don’t have a personal computer. Speaker 3 [04:59]: So it’s number one. Katie Robbert [05:01]: It’s good to know that there are options. So you said Cloudflare, you said, who else? Christopher S. Penn [05:06]: Hetzner, which is a German company, basically, anybody that can rent you a server that you can use for this type of system. What the important thing here is not this particular technology, because the creator has said, I made this for myself as kind of a gimmick. I did not intend for people to be deploying clusters of these and turning into a product and trying to sell it to people. He’s like, that’s not what it’s for. And he’s like, I intentionally did not put in things like security because I didn’t want to bother. It was a fun little side project. But the thing that folks should be looking at is the idea. The idea of. We’ve done some episodes recently on the Trust Insights livestream about Claude Code and Claude Cowork, which Cowork, by the way, just got plugins. Christopher S. Penn [05:58]: So all those skills and things, that’s for another time, but when you start looking at how we use things like Claude code. This morning when I got into the office, I fired up Claude Code, opened it in my Asana folder and said, give me my daily briefing. What’s going on? It listed all these things and I immediately just turn on my voice memo thing. I said, this is done. Let’s move this due date, this is done. And it went off and it did those things for me. Someone who hated using project management software like this now, I love it. And I was like, okay, great, I can just tell it what to do. And it does. And I actually looked. I opened up an asana looked, and it not only created the tasks, but it put in details and descriptions and stuff like that. Christopher S. Penn [06:44]: And it now also prompts me, hey, how much time do you think this will take? I’ll put that in there too. I’m like, this is great. I don’t have to do anything other than talk to it. Something like openclaw is the next evolution of a thing like Claude Code or Open or Claude Coerc, where now it’s a system that has connection to multiple systems, where it just starts acting like a personal assistant. I’m sure if I wanted to invest the time, and I probably will, I’m going to make a Python connector to my Google Calendar so that I can say in my Asana folder, hey, now that you’ve got my task list for this week, start blocking time for tasks. Christopher S. Penn [07:26]: Fill up my calendar with all the available slots with work so that I can get as much done as possible, which will make me more productive at a personal level. When people see systems like OpenClaw out there, they should be thinking, okay, that particular version, not a good idea. But we should be thinking about how will our work look when we have a little cloud bot somewhere that we can talk to, like a PA and say, fill up my calendar with the important stuff this week. Speaker 3 [07:58]: Right? Christopher S. Penn [07:59]: Yeah, because you’ve connected it to your son, you’ve connected your Google Calendar, you’ve connected to your HubSpot. You could say to it, hey, as CEO, you could say, hey, open agent, fill Up. Go look in HubSpot at the top 20 deals that we need to be working on and fill up John’s calendar with exact times that he should be calling those people. Right. Katie Robbert [08:24]: I’m sorry, in advance. I’m gonna do that. Christopher S. Penn [08:27]: He’s been saying, hey, it looks like Chris has gotten some time on Friday open agent. Go and look in Chris’s asana and fill up his day. Make sure that he’s getting the most important things done. That as a manager, you know, with permission, obviously is where this technology should be going so that you could, like, this is the vision. You could be running the company from your phone just by having conversations with the assistant. You know, you’re out walking Georgia and you’re like, oh, I forgot these three things and I need to do lunch here and I do this. Go, go take care of it. And like a real human assistant, it just does those things and comes back and says, here’s what I did for you. Katie Robbert [09:10]: Couple questions. One, you know, I hear you when you’re saying this is how we should be thinking about it. You are someone who has more knowledge than the most of us about what these systems can and can’t do. So how does someone who isn’t you start thinking about those things? Let’s just start with that question. You know, and I know that this, know I always come back to. I remember you wrote this series when we worked at the agency and it was for IBM. So you know, for those who don’t know, Chris is a, what, eight year running IBM champion. Congratulations on that. That is, I mean that’s a big deal. Katie Robbert [09:56]: But it was the citizen analyst post series that always stuck with me because I always, I’d never heard that terminology, but it was less about what you called it and more about the thinking behind it. And I think we’re almost, I would argue that we’re due for another citizen analyst, like series of posts from you, Chris, like, how do we get to thinking about this the way that you’re thinking about it or the way that somebody could be looking at it and you know, to borrow the term the art of the possible, like, how does someone get from. There’s a software, I’ve been told it does stuff, but I shouldn’t use it. Okay, I’m going to move on with my day. Katie Robbert [10:41]: Like, how does someone get from that to, okay, let me actually step back and look at it and think about the potential and see what I do have and start to cobble things together. You know, I feel like it’s maybe the difference between someone who can cook with a recipe and someone who can cook just by looking inside their pantry. Christopher S. Penn [11:01]: I, the cooking analogy is a great one. I would definitely go there because you have to know when you walk into the kitchen what’s in here, what are the appliances, what do we have for ingredients, how do those ingredients go together? Like for example chocolate and oatmeal generally don’t go well together. At least not as a main. It’s kind of like when you look at the 5PS platform we always say this in most situations do not start with the technology, right? That’s, that’s a recipe usually for not things not going well. But part of it is what’s implicit in platform is that you know what the platforms do, that you know what you have. Because if you don’t know what you have and you don’t know how to use them, which is process, then you’re not going to be as effective. Christopher S. Penn [11:46]: And so you do have to take some time to understand what’s in each of the five P’s so that you can make this happen. So in the case of something like an open claw or even actually let’s go, let’s take a step back. If you are a non technical user and you’re, let’s say you decide I’m going to open up Claude Cowork and try and make a go of this, the first question I would ask is well what things can it connect to? That’s an important mindset shift is what can I connect this to? Because we’ve all had the experience where we’re working like a chat GPT or whatever and it does stuff and it’s like fun and then like well now I got go be the copy paste monkey and put this in other systems. Christopher S. Penn [12:29]: When you start looking at agentic AI that where do I have to copy paste? This should be a shorter and shorter list every day as companies start adding more connectors. So when you go to Claude Cowork you see Google Drive, Google Calendar, fireflies, Asana, HubSpot, etc. And that’s your first step is go what does it connect to? And then you take a look at your own process in the 5ps and go of those systems. What do I do? Oh I every Monday I look in HubSpot and then I look in Google Analytics and then I look here and look here and go well if I wrote down that process as a standard operating procedure and I handed that sop as a document to Claude in cowork. I could literally asking, hey, how much of this could you do for me? Christopher S. Penn [13:21]: And just tell me what to look at. So first you got to know what’s possible. Second, you got to know your process. Third, you have to ask the machine can how much of this can you do? And then you have to think about and this is the important question, what, Given all this stuff that you have access to, what could you do that. I am not thinking about that. I’m not doing that. I should be. The biggest problem we have as humans is we do not. We are terrible at white space. We are terrible at knowing what’s not there. We. We look at something we understand, okay, this is what this thing does. We never think, well, what else could it do that I don’t know? This is where AI is really smart because it’s been trained on all the data. Christopher S. Penn [14:09]: It goes well, other people also use it for this. Other people do this. Or it’s capable of doing this. Like, hey, you’re asana. Because it contains a rudimentary document management system, could contain recipes. You could use it as a recipe book. Like you shouldn’t, but you could. And so those are kind of the mindset things. And the last one I’ll add to that. There’s something that I know, Katie, you and I have been talking about as we sort of try and build a. A co AI person as well as a co CEO to sort of the mirror the principles of trust. Insights is one of the first things that I think about every single time I try to solve a problem is this a problem that can solve with an algorithm? This is something that I Learned from Google 15 years ago. Christopher S. Penn [14:56]: Google in their employee onboarding says we favor algorithmic thinkers. Someone who doesn’t say, I’m going to solve this problem. Somebody who thinks, how can I write an algorithm that will solve this problem forever and make it go away and make it never come back? Which is a different way of thinking. Katie Robbert [15:14]: That’s really interesting. Speaker 3 [15:17]: Huh? Katie Robbert [15:18]: I like that. And I feel like. I feel like offline. I’m just going to sort of like. Speaker 3 [15:23]: Make that note for us. Katie Robbert [15:24]: I want to explore that a little bit more because I really, I think that’s a really interesting point. Speaker 3 [15:31]: And. Katie Robbert [15:31]: It does explain a lot around your approach to looking at this. These machines, as you’re describing, sort of the people are bad with the white space. It reminds me of the case study that was my favorite when I was in grad school. And it was a company that at The Time was based in Boston. I honestly haven’t kept up with them anymore. But it was a company called Ideo and ido. One of the things that they did really well was they did basically user experience. But what they did was they didn’t just say, here’s a thing, use it. Let us learn how you’re using the thing. They actually went outside and it wasn’t the here’s a thing, use it. It’s let us just observe what people are doing and what problems they’re having with everyday tasks and where they’re getting stuck in the process. Katie Robbert [16:28]: I remember this is just a side note, a little bit of a rant. I brought this case study to my then leadership team as a way to think differently about how, you know, because were sort of stuck in our sales pipeline and sales were zero and blah, blah. And I got laughed out of the room because that’s not how we do it. This is how we do it. And, you know, I felt very ashamed to have tried something different. And it sort of was like, okay, well that’s not useful. But now fast forward jokes on them. That’s exactly how you need to be thinking about it. Katie Robbert [17:03]: So it just, it strikes me that we don’t necessarily, yes, we need to understand the software, but in terms of our own awareness as humans, it might be helpful to sort of maybe isolate certain parts of your day to say, I am going to be very aware and present in this moment when I’m doing this particular task to see. Speaker 3 [17:31]: Where am I getting stuck, where am. Katie Robbert [17:32]: I getting caught up, where am I getting distracted and then coming back to it? And so I think that’s something we can all do. And it sounds like, oh, that’s so much extra work, I just want to get it done. Well, guess what? Speaker 3 [17:45]: Those tasks that you’re just trying to. Katie Robbert [17:47]: Survive and get through, they are likely the ones that are best candidates for AI. So if we think back to our other framework, the TRIPS framework, which is. Speaker 3 [17:57]: In this list somewhere, here it is. Katie Robbert [18:01]: Found it. Trust, insights, AI trips, time, repetitiveness, importance, pain, and sufficient data. And so if it’s something that you’re doing all the time, you’re just trying to get through, may be a good candidate for AI. You may just not be aware that it’s something that AI can do. And so, Chris, to your point, it could be as straightforward as. All right, I just finished this report. Let me go ahead and just record voice, memo my thoughts about how I did it, how it goes, how often I do it, give it to even something like a Gemini chat and say, hey, I do this process, you know, three times a week. Is this something AI could do for me? Ask me some questions about it and maybe even parts of it could be automated. Katie Robbert [18:50]: Like that to me is something that should be accessible to most of us. You don’t have to be, you know, a high performing engineer or data scientist or you know, an AI thought leader to do that kind of an exercise. Christopher S. Penn [19:07]: A lot of, a lot of the issues that people have with making AI productive for them almost kind of reminds me of waterfall versus agile in the sense of, hey, I need to do this thing. And you know, this is this massive big project and you start digging like, I give up, I can’t do it. As opposed to a more bottom up approach, you go, okay, I do this as possible. What if I can automate just this part? What if I can automate just this part? What if I can do this? And then what you find over time is that then you start going, well, what if I glue these parts together? And then eventually you end up with a system. Now that gets you to V1 of like, hey, this is this janky cobbled together system of the way that I do things. Christopher S. Penn [19:47]: For example, on my YouTube videos that I make myself personally, I got tired of putting just basically changing the text in Canva every video. This is stupid. Why am I doing this? I know image magic exists. I know this library, that library exists. So I wrote a Python script, said, I’m just going to give you a list of titles. I’m going to give you the template, the placeholder, I’ll tell you what font to use, you make it. This is not rocket surgery. This is not like inventing something new. This is slapping text on an image. And so now when I’m in my kitchen on Sundays cooking, I’ll record nine videos at a time. AI will choose the titles and then it will just crank out the nine images. And that saves me about a half an hour of stupid typing, right? Christopher S. Penn [20:33]: That stupid typing is not executive function. I’m not outsourcing anything valuable to AI. Just make this go away. So if you think and you automate little bits everywhere you can and then you start gluing it together, that gets you to V1. And then you take a step back and go, wow, V1 is a hot mess of duct tape and chewing gum and bailing wire. And then that you say to with, in partnership with your AI, reverse engineer the requirements of this janky system that we’ve made to A requirements document. And then you say, okay, now let’s build v2, because now we know what the requirements are. We can now build V2 and then V2 is polished. It’s lovely. Like my voice transcription system V1 was a hot mess. Christopher S. Penn [21:16]: V2 is a polished app that I can run and have running all the time and it doesn’t blow up my system anymore. But in terms of thinking about how we apply AI and the sort of AI mindset, that’s the approach that I take. It’s not the only one by any means, but that’s how I think about this. So when someone says, hey, open call is here, what’s the first thing I do? I go to the GitHub repo, I grab a copy of it, make a copy of it, because stuff vanishes all the time. And then I dive in with an AI coding tool just to say, explain this to me what’s in the box. Christopher S. Penn [21:53]: If you are a more technical person, one of the best things that you can do in a tool like Claude code is say, build me a system diagram, analyze the code base and build me system. Don’t make any changes, don’t do anything, just explain the system to me and you’ll look at it and go, oh, that’s what this does. When I’m debugging a particularly difficult project, every so often I will say, hey, make a system diagram of the current state and it will make one. And I’ll be like, well, where’s this thing? It’s like, oh yeah, that should be there. I’m like, yeah, no kidding it should be there. Would you please go and fix that? But having to your point, having the self awareness to take a step back and say show me the system works really well. Christopher S. Penn [22:39]: If you want to get really fancy, you could screen record you doing something, load that to a system like Gemini and say, make me a process diagram of how I do this thing. And then you can look at it with a tool like Gemini because Gemini does video really well and say, how could I make this more efficient? Katie Robbert [22:59]: I think that’s a really good entry point for most of us. Most machines, Macs and PCs come with some sort of screen recorder built in. There’s a lot of free tools, but I think that’s a really good opportunity to start to figure out like, is this something that I could find efficiencies on? Speaker 3 [23:19]: Do I even have documentation around how I do it? Katie Robbert [23:22]: If not, take this video and create some and then I can look at it and go, oh, that’s not right. The thing I want to reinforce, you know, as we’re talking about these autonomous, you know, virtual assistants, executive assistants, you know, these bots that are going to take over the world, blah, blah. You still need human intervention. So, Chris, as you were describing, the process of having the system create the title cards for your videos, I would imagine, I would hope, I would assume that you, the human reviews all of the title cards ahead of, like, before posting them live, just in case you got on a particular rant in one video, it was profanity laced and the AI was like, oh, well, Chris says this particular F word over and over again, so it must be the title of the video. Katie Robbert [24:14]: Therefore, boom, here’s title card. And I’m just going to publish it live. I would like to believe that there is still, at least in that case, some human intervention to go. Oh, yeah, that’s not the title of that video. Let me go ahead and fix that. And I think that’s. Go ahead. Christopher S. Penn [24:29]: There isn’t human intervention on that because there’s an ideal customer profile that is interrogated as part of the process to say, would the ICP like this? And the ICP is a business professional. And so, you know, I’ve had it say, the ICP would not like this title and it will just fix itself. And I’m like, okay, cool. So you, to your point, there was human intervention at some point, and then we codified the rules with an ideal customer profile. Say, this is what the audience really wants. Katie Robbert [24:54]: And I think that’s okay. Speaker 3 [24:56]: I think you at least need to. Katie Robbert [24:57]: Start with that for V1. You should have that human intervention as the QA. But to your point, as you learn, okay, this is my ideal customer, and this is what they want. This is the feedback that I’ve gotten on everything. Take all of that feedback, put it into a document and say, listen to this feedback every time you do something. Make sure we’re not continually making the same mistakes. So it really comes down to some sort of a QA check, a quality assurance check in the process before you just unleash what the machines create to the public. Christopher S. Penn [25:31]: Exactly. So to wrap up Open Claw, Claudebot, Multbot, slash, whatever they want to call it this week is by itself not something I would recommend people install. But you should absolutely be thinking about, what does a semi autonomous or fully autonomous system look like in our future, how will we use it? And laying the groundwork for it by getting your own AI mindset in place and documenting the heck out of everything that you do so that when a production ready system like that becomes available, you will have all the materials ready to make it happen and make it happen safely and effectively.

In this mini-panel, Jack, Paige, Paul, and Noel discuss how AI reshaping developer tooling is impacting open source monetization, including the recent Tailwind layoffs and the collapse of Tailwind documentation traffic caused by AI. The conversation expands into broader developer tooling business models and reacts to claims like Ryan Dahl stating that the era of humans writing code is over. They also cover the Astro Cloudflare acquisition, what it means for the Cloudflare developer platform, and how this shapes the frontend frameworks future. Hot takes include light mode vs dark mode SaaS, shifting developer aesthetics, and why AI productivity for developers may now come down to workflow design rather than raw coding skill.

This week we talk about social networks, propaganda, and Oracle.We also discuss foreign adversaries, ByteDance, and X.Recommended Book: Rewiring Democracy by Bruce Schneier and Nathan E. SandersTranscriptIn 2021, TikTok, a short-form video platform that's ostensibly also a social network, though which leans heavily toward consuming content over socializing, was ranked the most popular website by internet services company Cloudflare, beating out all the other big tech players, including search engine juggernaut, Google.It was a neck and neck sort of thing, with Google taking the lead some days that year, but 2021 was definitely TikTok's time to shine, as it was already popular with young people and was starting to become popular with the general public, of all ages and across a huge swathe of the planet. It even beat Facebook as the most popular social media website that year, despite, again, being mostly about consuming content rather than interacting—that was actually a prime motivator for Meta, which owns Facebook and Instagram, to redirect its own apps in a similar direction, shifting its focus from communication and interaction between users toward the creation of binge-able content, and feeding users more of that content in a feed optimized for time-losing levels of consumption.2021 was also the first full year that TikTok was coming under scrutiny from the US government. In the preceding year, 2020, then first-term president Donald Trump said he was considering banning the app because it was becoming so popular, with young people in particular, and because it was owned by a Chinese company, ByteDance it represented a potential national security threat.So the idea was that because Chinese companies are forced, by their very nature, to do what the Chinese government tells them—that's just how things work over there—and to do so on the down-low if that's what the governments demands, and to lie about having to do what the government tells them to do, if the government tells them to thus lie, it doesn't matter that ByteDance's leadership swore up and down to the world that the company will never use its popularity, and the data it soaks up from all its users as a result of that popularity, to help the Chinese government, the Chinese military, or Chinese intelligence services.It of course will have to do that, and if it doesn't, its leaders could be black-bagged and disappeared in the night—because again, that's just how things work over there. So the Trump administration decided to make TikTok a sort of bogeyman, representing Chinese companies in general, and to some degree the presence of China in the US and throughout the Western world, and said, nope, we're not gonna let this thing continue to operate over here.It's worth remembering, too, that by 2021 the world was enmeshed in the COVID-19 pandemic, which originated in China, and which Trump and his administration were ardently attempting to tie to the Chinese government—calling Covid the Chinese Flu, and even worse things, as part of that effort.So this move against TikTok and its parent company, while based on genuine concerns about the ownership of the company and how and where the data being collected by said company is handled, it should also be seen as a political maneuver, allowing Trump, during the 2020 election run-up, to look like he was taking a big stand against a big foreign threat, China.What I'd like to talk about today is a deal that was proposed way back then by the Trump administration, as a potential way out for TikTok and ByteDance, allowing it to continue operating in the US despite threats to shut it down, now that said deal, or a version of it, seems to have finally come to fruition—and what we know about the shape of the resulting new, US-based version of TikTok.—On January 18, 2025, TikTok stopped worked in the US. It voluntarily suspended all services in the country in the lead-up to the implementation of the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which was passed by the US congress and signed into law by then-president Joe Biden in April of 2024. This law gave social networking services controlled by ‘foreign adversaries' 270 days, with the possibility of a 90-day extension, to divest themselves so that they're no longer considered foreign adversary-owned.This law was almost exclusively aimed at TikTok, and the idea was that TikTok, in the US, would no longer be able to legally function following that deadline if it was still owned by China, which for the purposes of this law has been labeled a foreign adversary.ByteDance could keep TikTok in the US going if it sold a majority, controlling stake of its US-based assets to non-adversary owners, but otherwise it would have to shut down.Interestingly, though Trump was the original source of concerns about TikTok and its Chinese ownership during his first administration, when he stepped back into office in January 2025, he signed a new executive order that delayed the enforcement of this Biden-signed law, and then delayed it still-further, three more times after that, saying that he wanted to give American investors the time to negotiate controlling interest of US TikTok, rather than banning it.Those efforts eventually bore fruit in the shape of a new controlling entity called TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC, which is made up of a bunch of non-Chinese investment entities, including US software behemoth Oracle, an Emirati investment firm called MGX, a US investment firm called Silver Lake, and a personal investment company owned by Michael Dell, the founder of Dell Technologies. There are other, smaller investors also involved, but the red thread that runs through almost all of them is that they're big Trump supporters and funders, funneling a lot of money into Trump's campaigns, and his family businesses.So six years after the initial legal salvo was fired at TikTok in the US, the local assets are now controlled by non-Chinese investors, though the original Chinese owner, ByteDance, still owns just under 20%, compared to about 15% apiece for Oracle, MGX, and Silver Lake.The new company's board is majority-run by those investors, too, which means it's majority-run by ardent Trump supporters. We don't yet know what effect this will have on content within the app, but under full Chinese ownership, topics related to democracy, Tianamen Square, and the LGBTQ community, among others, were significantly downgraded in the algorithm, ensuring they were seldom shown to anyone, which in turn disincentivized content that those owners didn't like while incentivizing content that was pro-China, and pro-Chinese government priorities.It's considered to be likely, by analysts who watch these sorts of maneuverings, that the same will be true of this new entity, but for and against subject matter that the Trump administration is for and against. Which raises the possibility that the new US TikTok, while superficially the same as the previous US TikTok, will slowly go the way X, formerly Twitter, has gone under Elon Musk, which was dramatically pushed in a new direction under its own owner, focusing on his political and ideological priorities and punishing users who spoke against those priorities.TikTok could become more or less an extension of the Trump-verse, in other words, and could thus become something more akin to Trump's own network, Truth Social, or other right-leaning and far-right social networks, like conservative YouTube-clone, Rumble, rather than something less ideological, or maybe I should say less overtly politically ideological, like Meta's Facebook, Threads, and Instagram.Users have already noticed some changes to US TikTok after the change in ownership, though, including what sorts of data are collected.TikTok's new privacy policy, which all users have to agree to before using the app, now that the platform has changed hands, says that TikTok will be using precise location tracking, keeping tabs on exactly where users are located via their device's GPS. That's compared to the app's previous approximate location-tracking effort, which used SIM card and IP address data to understand general proximity—it still uses that data, too, but now, rather than knowing what neighborhood you're probably in, it may also know what room in your house you're scrolling from.The new US TikTok also tracks users' interactions with AI tools, including their prompts, outputs, and metadata attached to said interactions, which includes details about where users are when they're using such tools, and what time they used them.They also collect gobs of marketing data from outside sources, and based on the users' activity within the app. So things you buy, websites and other apps you visit and use, and conversations you have will all be sucked up and agglomerated into a profile that's then used to show you targeted advertising. This isn't unique to US TikTok, but the company does seem to intend to make use of more such data, and to combine it with that other stuff it's now collecting, to increase the price it can charge for ads, because they'll be a lot more specifically targeted than before.Some users are beginning to comb through the new user agreement with a fine-toothed comb, noticing, in addition to those aforementioned major changes, that the company also reserves the right to collect information about your physical and mental health, to use identifying information in the videos and images you might share, and information gleaned from people and their identifying characteristics in images and videos, and to collect biometric data, which usually means eyes and faces and walking gate and things like that, to differentiate and track people across such content. They can keep tabs on your sex life, sexual orientation and gender, your drug usage, your ethnic and racial origins, your citizenship and immigration status, your financial situation and information—all sorts of stuff is collected, and they say in the privacy policy and user agreement that they intend to do gather and store and cross-reference this kind of information whenever possible.Again, much of this isn't novel, as social platforms are gobbling up all sorts of stuff about their users all the time, mostly to refine their ad placements because that allows them to charge advertisers more for better-targeted placements, over time.That said, because of the nature of the group that now owns US TikTok and which is making executive decisions about it, including, potentially, how this data is shared, including with the US government and its many agencies, there's a chance we might see an exodus of sorts from the still younger-than-average user base of this network, because there is a nonzero chance it could become a tool in the Trump administration's utility belt for tracking down people they don't like and spreading messages that are favorable to them and their ideological aims; so basically what was happening under the previous ownership, but for the current US administration's priorities, rather than those of the Chinese government.Show Noteshttps://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/tiktok-surpasses-google-popular-website-year-new-data-suggests-rcna9648https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/technology/tiktok-deal-oracle-bytedance-china-us.htmlhttps://www.wired.com/story/tiktok-new-privacy-policy/https://archive.is/20260123005655/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-01-23/tiktok-seals-deal-to-create-us-venture-with-oracle-silver-lakehttps://www.axios.com/2026/01/23/tiktok-deal-trump-app-banhttps://www.theverge.com/tech/866868/tiktok-usds-new-owners-algorithm-explainedhttps://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/22/5-things-to-know-about-the-tiktok-deal-00743316https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/23/business/media/tiktok-us-terms-conditions.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TikTokhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump%E2%80%93TikTok_controversyhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Efforts_to_ban_TikTok_in_the_United_Stateshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protecting_Americans_from_Foreign_Adversary_Controlled_Applications_Act This is a public episode.

When your website stops working at 3 AM, you need to answer one question fast: Is it my code or is a big cloud provider having problems? Omri Sass from Datadog explains updog.ai, a tool that monitors whether major services like AWS, CloudFlare, and others are actually working. Instead of asking people to report problems like Down Detector does, updog uses real data from thousands of computers to detect when services go down. Omri shares why this took 6 years to build, how they process massive amounts of data with machine learning, and why cloud providers have been strangely upset about these tools existing.About Omri: Omri Sass is a Director of Product Management at Datadog, where he leads and supports a team of 25+ product managers driving initiatives across Bits AI SRE, Data Observability, Service Management, and most recently, the launch of updog.ai.
