There’s gonna be just incredibly spectacularly crazy security incidents that will happen with agents because you’ll prompt, inject an agent and sort of find your way through the CRM system and pull out data that you shouldn’t have access to.

I mean, I think, I think like, you know, do do what some companies are doing, you know, I’m not saying it’s my situation exactly, but like give them equity and like Uhhuh it should probably would be worth more, uh, just like sort of helping them out.

I, I think I, this was another, uh, a tweet, but it was like the observation that like, really software engineering for the past 30 years was the primary career track for like technical, high agency people that wanted to have a large outsize impact on the world.

Like, it’s just like you have to build the, the capabilities to support all of this. And we’re testing stuff, throwing things away, something doesn’t work and, and not relevant.

Oh yeah, for sure. But like in any of our companies, you like, you know, you’ll be forgiven if you took down the site and, and we, we will do a rollback and you’ll, you’ll be in a meeting, but you have not been disbarred as an engineer.

I think I, I think people take these eval numbers in pretty charts for granted, but No, there, I mean, there’s, there’s lots of really smart people at work during all this.

I think, you know, so one of the things that stability ai, uh, made an impression on me was like, well, you know, and at least now we can remake Game of Throne Season eight, and I can, you know, uh, like, like it was meant to be not, uh, not rushed.

Um, super excited for what Braintrust is doing, excited for, you know, Lang Smith, all the things. And I think what you’re going to, I mean, this is like every enter like literally every enterprise right now.

An agent team is, uh, is a, is a pretty, you know, is core to this whole effort. So there’s probably, I don’t know, like maybe a few dozen people that are like the epicenter.

Yeah, no, but like, like I think there was this moment, um, you know, like, I don’t know, two years ago before, before we knew like where the, the gotchas were gonna be in ai and I think someone was like, was like, well, infinite context windows will just solve all of these problems and ‘cause you’ll just, you’ll just give the context window like all the data and.

I feel like, you know, some creator analogy you’re trying like fit a manifold in latent space, which kind is doing break program synthesis, which is kinda one we think about we’re doing right.

Like the only reason we get to be a platform where you’d run an agent is because we have a security feature or a compliance feature, or a governance feature that, that some team is working on.

I think the challenge is that, that that information changes a week later. And because something happened in the market for that [00:43:00] customer, or us as a company that now has to go get updated, and so these systems are living and breathing and they have to experience reality and updates to reality, which right now is probably gonna be humans, you know, kinda giving those, giving them the updates.

Um, but, uh, but yeah, so it’s, uh, I, I think we’re all, you know, the thing that’s gonna happen on the ledger of software is we’re gonna produce far more output of code and thus features per dollar. But on the other end of this, we’re gonna actually end up spending probably just as much on how do you get all of that stuff to the customer, and it’s gonna create a new set of roles that we are all doing, partly because I, either, because there’s so much choice and now you have to kind of fight for attention there, or because this stuff is, is just changing so quickly that you have to technically help your customers.

Well, the thing that, that we get super excited by that I think is probably, you know, should be relatively obvious is we’ve, we’ve built a platform to help enterprises manage their files and their, their corporate files and the permissions of who has access to those files and the sharing collaboration of those files.

The harder problem has so far been the read only because, because again, you have that kind of like 10 million to one ratio problem, whereas rights are a lot of, that’s just gonna come from the model and, and we just like, we’ll just put it in the file system and kinda use it.

Documentation practices and, and having authoritative relatively up-to-date information and putting it in the right place like agents will, will certainly cause us to be much better organized around how we work with our information, simply because the severity of the agent pulling the wrong data will be too high and the productivity gain of that you’ll miss out on by not doing this will be too high as well, that you, that your competition will just do it and they’ll just have higher velocity.

You go into a company, you’re a banker in financial services, you have access to like a, a tiny little subset of the total data that’s gonna be relevant to do your job. And you’re have to start to go and talk to a bunch of people to get the right data to do your job because Sally didn’t add you to that deal room, you know, folder.

So if I give you higher up in the, in the, in the system, you get everything below. And that, that kind of created immense flexibility because I can kind of point you to any layer in the, in the tree, but then you’re gonna get access to everything kind of below it.
