On this week’s episode, host Andreas Welsch brought together Maya Mikhailov, cofounder and CEO of Savvi AI, and Doug Shannon, genAI and intelligent automation leader, to cover a handful of topics that practitioners are navigating right now. More in today's #Radar article: bit.ly/4uSqIgd

"I set up an AI agent on a rented GPU, pointed it at a training script, and went to bed. By morning it had run 40 experiments, improved validation loss by 5.9%, and cut memory usage from 44 GB to 17 GB."

On June 10, Harper Reed joins @timoreilly.bsky.social to discuss why creativity, serendipity, and embracing the weird might be the real path forward—and what it means when software stops being a product and starts being a medium of expression. Register here: https://bit.ly/4chZk4H

Our @timoreilly.bsky.social had a conversation with DJ Patil on why the hardest part of AI adoption is organizational, not technical. Read in today's #Radar post: bit.ly/49HZm3Y

“Use EPSS to prioritize the rest. For anyone who has worked on a vulnerability backlog in the last decade, the sentence is an acknowledgment of a widely felt but often unspoken fact about security programs: They have become machine-scale problems of signal to noise." #Radar bit.ly/3RNmyry

"Whenever someone talks about the death of SaaS, there’s something wrong with the picture. It’s simply that work is about groups and teams, and so far, programming with agents is about individuals." More in today's #Radar article by our Mike Loukides: bit.ly/3PO7ysL

"We asked Claude to analyze Anthropic’s recent acquisition of Stainless, going beyond the press releases. Its first pass overstated parts of the competitive-denial story; what follows is what survived it taking a closer look..." New article by Ilan Strauss on our #Radar to learn more: bit.ly/4dDjGpx

"I’ve been doing all this work finding ways to help people developing AI skills improve context management... It turns out those same exact techniques apply to anyone using AI tools, even when you’re using chatbots like Claude or ChatGPT." #Radar article by @andrewstellman.bsky.social bit.ly/4dVsyFZ

"Your AI agent booked a meeting, summarized a financial report, and emailed the highlights to three stakeholders... Here’s the question your security team can’t answer: Who authorized the email agent to read that financial report?" Check out new article by Sunil Prakash on our #Radar: bit.ly/3S48r0M

AI developers need to learn the same thing, and the learning curve should be shorter because the concepts transfer directly. Here's the @oreilly.bsky.social Radar article: oreillyradar.substack.com/p/why-doesnt...

"The leader of 2027 thinks in flows instead of functions, enclaves and mirrors instead of departments and reports, and token costs and compliance risk instead of merely headcount and budget." Learn three hard pivots leaders mapping their 2027 roadmaps need to make: bit.ly/4dAQIoX #Radar

"We are running into a stack ceiling, and it is quietly creating a governance and reliability gap that the next generation of agentic systems cannot grow through." Check out new article by @addyosmani.bsky.social on our #Radar: bit.ly/4ugW8fY

"Claude then proceeded to delete the production database and all backups hosted at their cloud provider, Railway...Let’s look at what we can learn from what happened, and why AI is really just an amplifier of existing issues, rather than the cause itself." Check out new #Radar article bit.ly/4dxV4xb

"There’s no doubt that AI capabilities are evolving at a breakneck pace. It’s hard to predict what innovations the next cycle will bring. But what’s unique about these vendor-agnostic standardized primitives is that they are concepts upon which innovation can build, not replace." bit.ly/4eW001k

"The shift from prompt engineering to tool use to skill engineering has followed a pattern...Prompts lived in conversations. Tools live in configurations. Skills live in libraries, versioned, shared, maintained, and eventually retired." bit.ly/4uoqpcQ #Radar

"We’ve spent the last two years arguing about models. Which one is smartest, which one writes the cleanest React, which one hallucinates less. That conversation is fine as far as it goes, but it’s missing the other half of the system." New #Radar article by @addyosmani.bsky.social: bit.ly/43fulk0

"I just sat in a room full of data engineers the other week who were worrying about AI automating them out of work the same way auto manufacturing in Detroit was upended half a century ago. All AI. All the time. That’s what technology professionals are talking about." #Radar: bit.ly/42xxR9o

"Cognitive debt and burnout aren’t new, alas. With or without AI, we’ve all stayed up to 4AM working on a bug that won’t go away or pursuing an interesting idea to its end. Sometimes that’s heroic, but AI threatens to turn it into a lifestyle." Check out new #Radar article: bit.ly/4uPmJ3N

"Personal AI doesn’t have to run your life to change it. It just must see you clearly and feed your behavior back to you in a way you can’t dodge. Once you look at AI as feedback loops instead of little butlers, the whole “agent” conversation starts to feel upside down." bit.ly/4wr7lvO

“Redundancy pressure is definitely accelerating the shift to skills-first learning in the UK,” our Alexia Pedersen told ITPro. “People are increasingly aware that employability now depends on keeping pace with fast moving areas like AI, cybersecurity and cloud.” Full article: https://bit.ly/4tu514y

"An agent flags a decision for review. A human approves it. Then another arrives, then dozens more...The human begins clicking through. They stop reading the JSON payloads. They click “Approve” because the backlog is piling up, and nothing has gone catastrophically wrong yet." bit.ly/3Pxk7bG

"When adoption is built around optimizing for deployment speed, enterprises expose themselves to a combination of risks: duplicated engineering effort, security exposure, and operational opacity." More insights from Peter Richards on #Radar: bit.ly/4uWyeqf

"An AI tool generates a recommendation based on data that hasn’t been governed since the analyst who built it left the company two years ago. The specifics change, but the pattern doesn’t: Somewhere in the stack, data risk turned into business risk, and nobody saw it coming." #Radar bit.ly/49lka0R

"The hardest part of working with Claude on a post like this is not getting it to write. It’s getting it to stop writing like Claude. (Yes, I know. That’s the construction this section warns against. I, not Claude, wrote it on purpose.)" New #Radar article by Marc Millstone: bit.ly/42G8KkR
