- Sun Nov 1Vendors are tightening the terms of use while the per-token price keeps falling.Read
- Sat Oct 31Capital for the AI buildout is getting scarcer and pricier while agent-driven attacks get cheaper.Read

Week recap →
- Sun Oct 25Agent architecture and agent pricing are both being reset at once: use fewer agents, and pay less for them.Read
- Sat Oct 24Labs now treat containment as a training-time design choice, and the evidence says walls alone will not hold.Read
- Fri Oct 23Disclosure is outrunning patching, and Anthropic's answer is to prove code correct instead of testing it harder.Read
- Thu Oct 22Attackers stopped breaking software today and started borrowing the credentials around it.Read
- Wed Oct 21Trust is being rebuilt outside the thing it protects: in the registry, the certificate store and the DPU.Read
- Tue Oct 20Every tool and agent you trust with your keys now has to be treated as an insider.Read

- Thu Oct 15Everyone is being told to pin what they run, and the pins are expiring.Read
- Wed Oct 14The agents are outgrowing the tools built for people: Anthropic's merge volume broke Git, OpenAI's always-on assistant burned 300K tokens without a prompt, and npm's publishing trust model turned out to hinge on a repo name anyone could reclaim.Read
