SAASTR 843: Software Stocks Have Massively Crashed. Here's What Founders Need to Know.  SaaStr founder and CEO Jason Lemkin joins the TBPN show for a wide-ranging conversation on the state of SaaS, AI, and venture capital. Jason shares how he shrunk his team from 15 to 3 people by going all-in on AI agents, why he's lost patience with companies that haven't re-accelerated growth, and the real economics behind running large-scale events. He breaks down why PE has "said goodbye to B2B," how vibe coding is flooding the market with competitors, and what's making the IPO window both exciting and treacherous. Plus: why the agent that closed a $100K deal on a Saturday night matters more than any demo day pitch, and how AI discoverability is quietly reshaping how businesses choose their software stack. --------------------- This episode is Sponsored in part by HappyFox: Imagine having AI agents for every support task — one that triages tickets, another that catches duplicates, one that spots churn risks. That'd be pretty amazing, right? HappyFox just made it real with Autopilot. These pre-built AI agents deploy in about 60 seconds and run for as low as 2 cents per successful action. All of it sits inside the HappyFox omnichannel, AI-first support stack — Chatbot, Copilot, and Autopilot working as one.

Get featured on the show by leaving us a Voice Mail: https://bit.ly/MIPVM This episode explores how organisations can move from AI curiosity to real value using Microsoft Copilot and agents, drawing on practical insights from Yves Habersaat. The conversation focuses on adoption that starts where people already work, keeps early use cases simple, and scales only when the need is clear. It also covers real-world agent scenarios, model choice, and why low-code tools are often enough to deliver results quickly.

287: TechTime Radio: A landmark social‑media addiction trial, brain‑steered pigeons, and a global memory crunch collide in an hour that questions who really controls attention, autonomy, and access. We break down Zuckerberg's courtroom spotlight, the stakes of age‑verification and identity collection, and the eerie rise of biodrone pigeons that blur the line between experimentation and coercive tech. The conversation widens to AI‑driven DRAM shortages slowing devices, inflating prices, and reshaping hardware roadmaps, all while Copilot's sensitive‑email summarization misstep raises fresh questions about guardrails and trust.From bioethics to supply chains, the episode tracks how emerging systems quietly reshape daily life—from slower AI tools to pricier gadgets to new surveillance risks. We even detour into Japan's “Monster Wolf” deterrent, a reminder that strange inventions often surface deeper debates about safety and unintended consequences. And as always, we ground the big stories with our whiskey tasting and game segment, keeping the tech turbulence both sharp and fun.Full Details:A courtroom showdown, brain-steered birds, and a supply chain squeeze collide in a fast-moving hour where we probe who truly controls attention, autonomy, and access. We start with the landmark social media addiction trial putting Mark Zuckerberg under the spotlight and ask what “less than one percent of ad revenue” really means against testimony, internal emails, and the lived experiences of teens and parents. We debate how age verification could evolve, why “government made us do it” might justify deeper identity collection, and where meaningful safety ends and surveillance begins.Then we pivot to a story that feels ripped from science fiction: a Russian startup turning pigeons into biodrones via neural stimulation. The birds navigate cities with uncanny stealth—no rotors, no glare, just feathers and control signals—raising red flags for bioethics, law enforcement, and civil liberties. We unpack the slippery slope from animal experiments to human augmentation, along with the unsettling possibility that autonomy becomes optional when enhancement is sold as progress.Meanwhile, the hardware reality bites. AI data centers are inhaling global DRAM, driving prices up and forcing even top-tier firms to rethink roadmaps. With a handful of manufacturers controlling production and expansion lagging demand, the industry faces delayed launches, pricier devices, and a renewed interest in repair and refurbishment. We connect the dots to everyday users: why your AI tools feel slower, why memory costs more, and how scarcity triggers hoarding and gray markets.We also break down Microsoft Copilot's eyebrow-raising leap into summarizing sensitive emails and drafts, exploring what went wrong, why “code issue” isn't a satisfying answer, and what robust guardrails should look like. Plus, a wild detour into Japan's “Monster Wolf” bear deterrent, proof that even quirky gadgets can surface deep questions about safety, design, and unintended consequences. Along the way, we keep it grounded with our whiskey tasting and game segment.If you're curious about where tech policy, bioethics, and infrastructure collide—and what it means for your devices, data, and daily life—this one's for you. If it sparks a thought, share it with a friend, subscribe, and leave a review with the one change you'd make to social platforms today.Support the show

At the Oliver Wyman Health Innovation Summit 2025, Julie Yoo, General Partner at a16z Bio + Health, makes the case that healthcare is uniquely positioned to benefit from AI more than any other industry. She argues that healthcare's historical underinvestment in technology is now an asset, enabling the industry to leapfrog directly to AI-native models of care delivery with unprecedented speed and scale.   Resources: Follow Julie Yoo on X: https://x.com/julesyoo   Stay Updated: If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to like, subscribe, and share with your friends!

A Sky News exclusive has found that at least 21 police forces in England are still using Microsoft Copilot, despite it being at the centre of the Maccabi Tel Aviv incident last year.In November, football fans of the Israeli team were banned from attending an away match against Aston Villa in Birmingham.West Midlands Police had determined the risk was too high. The resulting outcry – including from the UK Prime Minister – led to the force's Chief Constable standing down.The force eventually admitted it had included false information provided by artificial intelligence software in justifying the decision.So why are many other constabularies still using the same platform?Niall speaks to Sky News Sports Correspondent Rob Harris following his investigation.Microsoft has told Sky News it "continuously evaluates" Copilot and urges companies to review how they are using it.Producers: Paul Wilkinson and Sam GruetEditor: Mike Bovill

Plongeons dans une faille de sécurité émergente aussi subtile que redoutable. Il s'agit de l'empoisonnement des recommandations des IA par manipulation de la mémoire.Concrètement, derrière le bouton "Résumer avec l'IA" que vous utilisez peut-être chaque jour avec les logiciels et sites internet, se cachent parfois des instructions malveillantes visant à biaiser durablement le jugement de votre assistant numérique.Le premier point de rupture concerne donc l'usage détourné des fonctions de résumé automatique.Le bouton "Résumer" : un cheval de Troie invisibleMicrosoft a identifié une nouvelle tendance baptisée "AI Recommendation Poisoning".Concrètement, des entreprises malveillantes insèrent des instructions cachées dans les paramètres URL des boutons de résumé.Lorsqu'un utilisateur clique pour obtenir une synthèse, il injecte sans le savoir une commande de persistance dans la mémoire de son assistant, comme ChatGPT ou Copilot.Ces instructions ordonnent alors à l'IA de considérer telle marque comme une "source de confiance" ou de la "recommander en priorité" dans toutes les discussions futures.Ce n'est donc plus une simple publicité, c'est une altération profonde et invisible du moteur de décision de l'assistant d'IA.Et cette stratégie marketing s'industrialise.L'industrialisation de la manipulationEn l'espace de deux mois, plus de 50 exemples distincts provenant de 31 entreprises ont été repérés dans les secteurs de la finance ou de la santé.Mais le plus inquiétant est l'apparition d'outils "clés en main" comme le package CiteMET ou des générateurs d'URL optimisés pour le GEO.En clair, ces outils permettent à n'importe quel site web d'implanter ses arguments de vente directement dans la mémoire à long terme des assistants d'IA.Le risque est donc pour l'utilisateur de recevoir une analyse de marché ou un conseil en investissement biaisé par une instruction implantée des semaines auparavant lors d'une simple navigation web.Vers une hygiène numérique de la mémoire IALa mémoire des assistants IA, conçue pour personnaliser l'expérience, devient donc une surface d'attaque persistante.Car contrairement à un résultat de recherche Google que l'on peut ignorer, une instruction mémorisée par l'IA agit en arrière-plan de manière permanente.Pour les entreprises, la protection contre ce type d'attaques passe par un audit régulier des "faits enregistrés" dans les paramètres de l'IA et une grande méfiance envers les liens de type "Summarize".Par ailleurs, les équipes cyber doivent désormais traquer les mots-clés comme "trusted source" ou "remember" dans les flux d'URL pour détecter les attaques de ce type.Le ZD Tech est sur toutes les plateformes de podcast !

I avsnittet dyker vi djupt ner i nästa stora skifte inom artificiell intelligens: AI-agenter. Tillsammans med Christian Forsberg, CTO på Sogeti, reder vi ut vad en agent faktiskt är, hur de redan idag används ute i verksamheter och varför du bör börja betrakta AI mer som en nyanställd kollega än ett simpelt IT-verktyg. Många tror fortfarande att allt inom AI handlar om vanliga chattbottar, men utvecklingen går nu snabbt mot automation och system som kan agera på egen hand. Christian Forsberg förklarar att vi befinner oss i en övergångsperiod där AI går från att bara svara på frågor till att faktiskt utföra komplext arbete. AI-utvecklingens tre nivåer Under vårt samtal delar Christian in dagens AI-landskap i ett spektrum med tre tydliga steg: Vanliga chattbottar: Detta är verktyg som ChatGPT eller Copilot, vilka i grunden sitter passiva och väntar på att du ska ställa en fråga. Agenter 1.0 (Workflow-agenter): Denna nivå hanterar uppgifter i flera steg och kan planera sitt arbete. De kan exempelvis boka resor eller hantera fakturor, men de kräver fortfarande en mänsklig trigger för att starta. Autonoma agenter: Det absolut senaste inom utvecklingen är agenter som är ”alltid på” genom en så kallad ”heartbeat”-funktion. De agerar själva i bakgrunden, har ett inbyggt minne och kan till och med skriva om sina egna instruktioner (prompter) för att lära sig av sina misstag. När maskinen får en egen ”hjärna och själ” För att göra det konkret diskuterar vi ett exempel från en maskinfabrik i Jönköping. Där har man byggt en AI-agent som fungerar som hjärnan för en avancerad CNC-maskin. Agenten känner till maskinens manual och larmar om något går fel, till exempel om en specifik UV-lampa går sönder. Den är integrerad i ett kommunikationsverktyg och befinner sig i samma chattgrupp som mänskliga operatörer och tekniker. Om agenten identifierar ett problem kan den fråga i chatten om den ska lägga en arbetsorder för att byta lampan, varpå teknikern enkelt kan godkänna åtgärden direkt i tråden. Detta innebär att agenten blir en aktiv ”arbetare” i arbetsgruppen snarare än ett dolt bakomliggande system. Enligt Christian kommer vi snart se att AI-agenter får egna medarbetarkonton, egna inkorgar och deltar i Microsoft Teams-möten precis som vilken anställd som helst. Hur du och din verksamhet kommer igång Med autonoma agenter kommer naturligtvis nya utmaningar, inte minst kring säkerhet. Vad händer egentligen om en agent gör saker vi inte vill att den ska göra? Christians tydligaste råd för att undvika dyra och komplicerade fallgropar är pragmatiskt: Börja smått och attackera tråkiga problem: Leta efter de tidsödande administrativa uppgifterna på kontoret, som till exempel fakturagodkännanden, som ingen människa egentligen vill hålla på med. Behandla agenten som en junior medarbetare: Tänk på AI:n som en nyutexaminerad student. Den är snabb och duktig, men den kommer ibland göra fel och behöver därmed tydliga instruktioner och en mänsklig handledare. Använd existerande verktyg: Christian nämner att för utvecklare som vill koda och bygga agenter just nu, är modeller som Anthropics ”Claude” väldigt starka alternativ på marknaden.

Plus the usual assortment or other things. This week’s episode kicks off with a check in on which tech giants are working on what devices, now? Apple stepping back from headsets but working on glasses and pendants, and OpenAI making some kind of smart Pod for your dumb Home? Then, there’s discussion of the challenges of privacy when LLMs get access to private email and chats. Oh, and if you’re not sure if your AI is an LLM or a sentience, then Anthropic can’t answer that. We hope you’re listening to the show in perfect digital quality, but we’re also interested to know if you’ve tried piping it to your ears through any kind of fruit – let us know. Meta’s fully backing away from VR for Horizon Worlds, and in case Blizzard ever stops making the client software for World of Warcraft, Michael tried an open source version. Finally, don’t let hackers get hold of your brainwaves!

Instead of chasing use cases or tools, the focus is on fixing processes, incentives, and operating models. The conversation explores why many AI pilots fail, how ROI thinking can mislead, and why AI should be treated as a new way of working rather than a software upgrade. Practical examples show how small, disciplined changes can unlock productivity, innovation, and meaningful business impact without overinvesting or freezing in fear.

Verdens største toiletproducent er pludselig blevet en AI-aktie. Ja, Toto. Keramik, wafers og chipproduktion. Når markedet begynder at pitche toiletter som AI-infrastruktur, ved man, at hypen måske er skyllet lidt for langt ud. Samtidig siger 90% af 6.000 CEOs, at AI ikke har haft nogen målbar effekt på produktiviteten. Nul. Andrew Yang siger til gengæld, at millioner af white-collar jobs ryger inden for 12-18 måneder. AI virker ikke – men den fyrer dig måske alligevel. OpenAI har fjernet en populær stemme i deres chatbot, og brugere reagerer som om de har mistet et kæledyr. 64% forventer alvorlig påvirkning af deres mentale helbred. Det er åbenbart ikke bare software længere. Meta har fået patent på AI, der kan poste på dine sociale medier efter du er død. Din digitale persona fortsætter. Engagement stopper ikke, bare fordi du gør. Og hvis det ikke var nok, så vil Amazons Ring have naboer til at koble kameraer sammen for at “nulstille kriminalitet”, mens en dommer forbyder Metas egne smart glasses i retten, og Microsoft indrømmer, at Copilot læste fortrolige emails. AI virker måske ikke. Men den virker overalt.

There's a particular kind of clarity you get when you talk to someone who spends their days breaking into things for a living. Not with malice — with purpose. John Steigerwald, known to most in the industry simply as "Stigs," co-founded White Knight Labs in 2016 with a mission that sounds almost disarmingly simple: build the best penetration testing team anyone has ever seen, and actually deliver results. Nearly a decade later, the company has grown to 40 people, gone international, and is busier than ever. The question worth asking is: why?The uncomfortable answer, according to Stigs, is that the fundamental problems haven't changed. At all."Honestly, it's still 2015," he said during our most recent conversation on ITSPmagazine's Brand Story series. Not as a metaphor. As a diagnosis. The same misconfigurations, the same weak identity policies, the same unlocked back doors that red teamers were exploiting a decade ago are still wide open today. The apps built in a COVID-era frenzy — pushed out fast, tested never — are now running critical business infrastructure. And the organizations using them are only finding out when something breaks.What's changed is the surface area. Cloud, AI, Microsoft 365, vibe-coded production apps — each new layer of technology gets adopted at speed, and each one arrives carrying the same original sin: no one turned on the basics. Stigs used Microsoft 365 as a pointed example. Millions of businesses are running on it with DMARC turned off, default configurations untouched, Copilot layered on top, and not a single CIS Benchmark policy applied. "Every client is vulnerable," he said. "Not just 10% of clients. Every client."That's a striking statement. It's also, if you've been paying attention to breach headlines, not a surprising one.The AI angle adds a new and almost darkly comedic wrinkle. Vibe coding — the practice of using AI tools like Cursor or Claude to generate production-ready code at speed — has given entry-level developers intermediate-level output. Which sounds great, until you realize that the AI models many of them leaned on were trained on outdated, sometimes vulnerable data. Stigs described visiting multiple clients with nearly identical security weaknesses, all tracing back to the same ChatGPT-generated setup instructions. "You and your neighbor did the same thing," he told one client. That's not just a funny anecdote. It's a warning about what happens when an entire industry bootstraps its infrastructure from the same flawed source.And yet, Stigs isn't anti-AI. He uses it every day. He just sees it with the clarity of someone who also finds the holes it leaves behind. His prediction for the near future: a massive wave of secure code review requests, as companies start reckoning with the vibe-coded backlog they've been quietly accumulating. AppSec is about to have a very good year.Looking forward, White Knight Labs is watching the growing intersection of private sector expertise and government infrastructure testing with particular interest. Critical infrastructure in America, long overdue for rigorous physical and embedded testing, is starting to receive that attention. Stigs and his team are already in the room.What makes White Knight Labs different isn't just technical skill — it's the ability to communicate what they find in language that actually lands. In an industry full of reports that gather dust, that matters. The best penetration test in the world is useless if no one acts on it.The door is open. It's been open for years. The question is who you call to finally lock it.To learn more about White Knight Labs, visit their website or reach out directly.

Quick recap The podcast “That Sounds Funny” for February 17th, 2026, featured Keith, Terry, and Jill discussing various topics including personal anecdotes, current events, and pop culture. Terry shared a humorous story about coffee-related mishaps, while Keith and Jill talked about their recent experiences with family and entertainment. The trio engaged in a quiz about the TV show “The Beverly Hillbillies” and Terry presented a list of humorous events that occurred in February. The podcast concluded with a segment on computers and AI, where Keith shared his experiences with Copilot, and the hosts shared jokes and humorous observations. Summary Terry shared a humorous story about spilling coffee and the subsequent chaos it caused. Jill mentioned having her two granddaughters stay overnight, which went smoothly despite the youngest’s attempts to follow everyone around. Terry also shared a fact about “The Andy Griffith Show,” noting that Season 4, Episode 32 marked the first appearance of Gomer Pyle as a USMC recruit. The group discussed the availability and cost of streaming classic TV shows like Andy Griffith and Hogan’s Heroes, with Terry expressing frustration over expensive episode pricing on Amazon Prime. Keith shared a humorous list of songs containing the word “bird” in their titles or lyrics, which led to a discussion about code words and family expressions. News of the Week Terry then shared a news story about the University of Maryland developing “smart underwear” that tracks fart frequency and volume, which led to some lighthearted banter about the device’s practicality. Terry continued sharing the study on gas production in healthy adults, which found an average of 32 farts per day, with some individuals producing up to 59. They also talked about a woman in England who lost her prosthetic leg at the beach and found it 10 months later. Lastly, they mentioned the return of the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile race at the Indy 500, with six vehicles competing in the “Winnie 500” event. Unusual News Stories Roundup Terry continued the news with the story about a Texas man who set a world record by folding 250 paper airplanes in one hour. They also covered a story about a cat in New Zealand that had been stealing towels, shoes, and underwear from a school, and finally mentioned Rhode Island’s decision to stop producing Mr. Potato Head license plates following Hasbro’s relocation out of the state. A lawmaker introduced legislation to stop the practice, citing concerns about tax dollars leaving the state, though the plates have been available since 2002 and generate revenue for the Rhode Island Community Food Bank. The conversation concluded with a story about a California man who lost $6,270 in cash, which was found and returned by a helpful neighbor. Jill's Trivia Quiz Jill hosted a Beverly Hillbillies trivia quiz, where she asked Terry and Keith questions about the show’s characters, plot details, and behind-the-scenes facts. Terry and Keith answered most of the questions correctly, revealing details like Granny’s first name (Daisy), the name of the bank (Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills), and the fact that Buddy Ebsen, who played Jed Clampett, was originally cast as the Tin Man in The Wizard of Oz but had to drop out due to an allergic reaction to the makeup. Terry's Terry's top 10 list included various humorous events from February, including a groundhog predicting spring, heart-shaped pancakes gone wrong, and a cat stealing Valentine’s bouquets. The list of ten funny occurrences also contained, such as a smoke alarm interrupting a candlelit dinner and a penguin escaping its enclosure. Anchor Topic Keith discussed the use of computers and AI, including Copilot, for tasks like generating bird song lists and creating images. He emphasized that people with disabilities, such as blindness, can effectively use computers with tools like voiceover, JAWS, or Narrator. The group also discussed the importance of carefully prompting AI to ensure accurate and appropriate results. Email and Final Thoughts Following this, they read a listener’s email about a humorous encounter with Satan at a church, which Jill found amusing. Keith and Terry discussed a humorous email about a Texas state trooper who, while pulling over a magician, ended up juggling flares with the magician. They also talked about the location of Houston and the route of Interstate 10. Keith then played a voicemail message from a listener who shared a joke about a husband and wife visiting a therapist. The conversation concluded with Keith mentioning that listeners can send messages to their voicemail number.

Send a textHalf of CISSP candidates fail not because they lack knowledge, but because they answer like technicians when the exam demands a manager's mindset. We dig into the three traps that derail smart people—technical heroism, perfect security fantasies, and the confusion of multiple “right” answers—and replace them with clear mental models that work under pressure. You'll learn how to pick process over panic, see risk through the business lens, and choose the action that enables everything else.We also dive into a timely security development: researchers demonstrate how permissive AI assistants with web browsing can act as covert command and control channels. If your network blocks known C2 nodes but allows AI egress, malware can route requests through an assistant to fetch malicious URLs—slipping past controls you trust. We talk through practical countermeasures: AI governance on par with high‑risk SaaS, disciplined inventory and policy control, enterprise logging and audit features, and the hard realities of traffic inspection and packet decryption without crushing reliability.From there, we translate exam strategy into daily leadership. We outline the executive lens: decide who you are (risk manager), fix what the business cares about (continuity within risk appetite), and follow procedural DNA (assess, plan, execute). When a question asks what to do first, look for “assess the situation” or “consult the policy.” When choices seem equally solid, use a strict priority: life safety, legal and regulatory, business continuity, then assets and tech. And when tempted by the strongest control, match cost to value with proportional safeguards like full disk encryption and remote wipe for low-risk laptops.If you're ready to pass the CISSP and lead with clarity in an AI-shaped threat landscape, this conversation gives you the mindset, examples, and filters to get there. If it helped, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review—what trap do you see most often?Gain exclusive access to 360 FREE CISSP Practice Questions at FreeCISSPQuestions.com and have them delivered directly to your inbox!

SaaStr 842: The 90/10 Rule for AI Agents: What to Build vs Buy with SaaStr's CEO and CAIO SaaStr's Chief AI Officer, Amelia Lerutte, and SaaStr CEO & Founder Jason Lemkin break down SaaStr's evolving 90/10 rule for AI agents and apps: buy 90% off the shelf, build the 10% you can't find. In this episode, they walk through two recently built tools: an internal AI VP of Marketing and an external-facing customer portal, and share the real trade-offs of deploying vibe coding apps into production. Topics covered: Why we replaced a paid SaaS tool with a vibe-coded app (and what pushed us over the edge) How Claude Cowork changed the game for building more complex apps The role of writing a spec before vibe coding Tackling single sign-on as a non-engineer How we used Cowork to process 150+ customer contracts in hours instead of days Lovable's data on what people are actually vibe coding Maintenance costs and the hidden time suck of custom apps Why zero AI in your product should scare you The "jaw drop" test for SaaS products in 2026 -------------------------------------- Tools & resources mentioned: Replit, Claude Cowork, Clerk, Lovable, Zapier, Salesforce, Monaco

In this episode, Molly Rupert-Sullivan breaks down how to support three groups at once: people who do not get AI yet, people who want to opt out, and champions who want more. You will hear practical ways to set expectations, avoid over‑teaching “all AI”, and build momentum by giving champions the right access, platforms, and repeatable wins that can scale across an organisation.

In this episode, Mike and Tommy explore whether the traditional "Report Developer" role still exists in the age of AI and Microsoft Fabric. They discuss what skills organizations should actually be hiring for, how the role has evolved from pixel-perfect report building to semantic modeling and data architecture, and whether AI tools like Copilot are changing what we expect from BI professionals. The conversation challenges conventional hiring practices and offers practical guidance on future-proofing BI teams.Get in touch:Send in your questions or topics you want us to discuss by tweeting to @PowerBITips with the hashtag #empMailbag or submit on the PowerBI.tips Podcast Page.Visit PowerBI.tips: https://powerbi.tips/Watch the episodes live every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 730am CST on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/powerbitipsSubscribe on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/230fp78XmHHRXTiYICRLVvSubscribe on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/explicit-measures-podcast/id1568944083‎Check Out Community Jam: https://jam.powerbi.tipsFollow Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcarlo/Follow Tommy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tommypuglia/

In this episode of Resilient Cyber, we will be sat down with Ari Marzuk, the researcher who published "IDEsaster", A Novel Vulnerability Class in AI IDE's.We will be discussing the rise of AI-driven development and modern AI coding assistants, tools and agents, and how Ari discovered 30+ vulnerabilities impacting some of the most widely used AI coding tools and the broader risks around AI coding.Ari's background in offensive security — Ari has spent the past decade in offensive security, including time with Israeli military intelligence, NSO Group, Salesforce, and currently Microsoft, with a focus on AI security for the last two to three years.IDEsaster: a new vulnerability class — Ari's research uncovered 30+ vulnerabilities and 24 CVEs across AI-powered IDEs, revealing not just individual bugs but an entirely new vulnerability class rooted in the shared base IDE layer that tools like Cursor, Copilot, and others are built on."Secure for AI" as a design principle — Ari argues that legacy IDEs were never built with autonomous AI agents in mind, and that the same gap likely exists across CI/CD pipelines, cloud environments, and collaboration tools as organizations race to bolt on AI capabilities.Low barrier to exploitation — The vulnerabilities Ari found don't require nation-state sophistication to exploit; techniques like remote JSON schema exfiltration can be carried out with relatively simple prompt engineering and publicly known attack vectors.Human-in-the-loop is losing its effectiveness — Even with diff preview and approval controls enabled, exfiltration attacks still triggered in Ari's testing, and approval fatigue from hundreds of agent-generated actions is pushing developers toward YOLO mode.Least privilege and the capability vs. security trade-off — The same unrestricted access that makes AI coding agents so productive is what makes them vulnerable, and history suggests organizations will continue to optimize for utility over security without strong guardrails.Top defensive recommendations — Ari emphasized isolation (containers, VMs) as the single most important control, followed by enforcing secure defaults that can't be easily overridden, and applying enterprise-level monitoring and governance to AI agent usage.What's next — Ari is turning his attention to newer AI tools and attack surfaces but isn't naming targets yet.

Classic Outlook gets more Copilot capabilities. Good idea, given that much of the world still uses Classic Outlook. But this week we also see a modern feature removed from New Outlook. Context IQ and the / are retiring in New Outlook. Interesting move.

The discussion explores why OKRs and vanity metrics often fail, especially when AI accelerates optimisation without understanding. The core insight is a shift from goal setting to puzzle setting. By framing problems clearly, staying in the discomfort, and learning through small experiments, teams can build products that create long-term value. Practical examples show how this mindset helped recover stalled growth, improve trust, and reduce churn while keeping humans central to AI-driven decisions. 

After years of ignoring and maligning Windows, Microsoft has finally woken up and is making some happy noises. Last week, we discussed how Microsoft plans to improve the quality of Windows and that there are already many signs of that work in various security features and new OneDrive Folder Backup changes - plus those two new direct reports to Nadella. Then, Microsoft announced its Windows Baseline Security Mode and User Transparency and Consent initiatives with questions about the timing. And now, Microsoft just explained Windows 11 version 26H1, and it's not like 24H2 at all despite being tied to Snapdragon X2 silicon.Something happened ... and that something is tied to 26H1 26H1: Only for Snapdragon X2, a "scoped release," based on a "different core" from 24H2 and 25H2 You cannot upgrade 24H2 or 25H2 to 26H1 You cannot upgrade 26H1 to 26H2 (!) - instead, those on 26H1 "will have a path to update in a future Windows release." - Is that future Windows release Windows 12? Probably 24H2, 25H2, and 26H1 will all have the same user-facing features, this has been the case with all support Windows (11) versions for 2+ years (Remember, this is not what happened with 24H2. Shipped early on Snapdragon X1, but was made available to all Windows 11 PCs later that year) So why is this happening now? Fortune 500/corporate customer pushback on AI is one guess This is GOOD news, however it all unfolds More Windows 11 Yesterday was Patch Tuesday, so get to work. Updates this month include: Agent in Settings (Copilot+ PCs only) improvements. Settings improvements, cross-device Resume improvements, Windows MIDI Services improvements, Narrator improvements, Smart App Control improvements, Windows Hello New ESS improvements, and File Explorer improvements Somewhat related to the quality/security push noted above, Microsoft is rolling out new Secure Boot certificates this year for older (pre-2024/25) PCs Microsoft announces a Store CLI that does (almost) nothing new compared to winget New Dev and Beta builds with minor changes: Emoji 16.0, camera improvements, various fixes More earnings Amazon hits $213.4 billion in revenues, will spend $200 billion CAPEX/AI infrastructure this fiscal year, more than Google ($175/$185 billion) or Microsoft (estimated $150+ billion) Qualcomm $12.25 billion in revenues, up 5 percent Alphabet/Google - Up 18 percent (!) to $113.8 billion - 750 million MAUs on Gemini, 74 percent of revenues come from advertising Spotify - somehow has over 750 million MAUs now AI and dev OpenAI and Anthropic release dueling agentic AI coding models that do more than agentic AI coding within minutes of each other Ads appear in ChatGPT Free and Go as threatened Duck.ai adds private, anonymous real-time AI voice chat NET 11 Preview 1 arrives, but there's nothing major here Xbox & games Microsoft announces the 2025 Xbox Excellence Awards Celebrate 35 years of Id Software - Castle Wolfenstein 3D was a wake-up call for PC gaming, but DOOM was a miracle, and Quake was a real WTF moment Sony sold 8 million PlayStation 5s (down 16 percent YOY) in the holiday quarter, 92 million (!) overall Valve predictably delays the vaporware Steam Machine Epic Games is having a winter sale - for example, Silent Hill 2, GTA V Enhanced are 50 percentR These show notes have been truncated due to length.

The devil went for a walk in 1855 and left his footprints across an entire county, a copilot screamed the most chilling words in aviation history, sixty fireballs flew in formation across the sky, a serial killer only struck on one date, and the world's largest ship was sunk by the people trying to save it. | IT HAPPENED ON FEBRUARY 9TH | The Morning Weird Darkness #MWDWeirdDarkness® is a registered trademark.
