Even the most ardent cheerleaders for artificial intelligence now quietly concede we are navigating a massive AI bubble... To justify this deployment on conventional investment metrics, the industry would need a step change in monetization over a short window to make the numbers work. bit.ly/4b4jwEX

"In February, things went crazy. We saw a social network for agents (no humans allowed, though they undoubtedly sneak on); a multiplayer online game for agents (again, no humans); many clones of OpenClaw, most of which attempt to mitigate its many security problems; and much more." bit.ly/4cr5WOA

"The organizations that figure out how to package their expertise, both for internal and external consumption, will have a structural advantage. Not because AI replaces expertise. Because AI amplifies the expertise of those who know how to share it." New #Radar piece by Han-chung Lee: bit.ly/4rxEaVk

"One of the hardest lessons teams learn is that AI systems don’t offer guarantees in the way traditional software does. What they offer instead is probability. In response, successful systems rely less on guarantees and more on guardrails." New #Radar article by Guruprasad Rao: bit.ly/4aIZdgh

"If the last decade was about treating APIs as products, the next one will be about treating autonomous workflows as policies encoded in traffic between agents. The protocols are ready. Your org chart is not." Check out new #Radar aricle by Shreshta Shyamsundar to learn more: bit.ly/4c18TFo
