A long time ago, I deliberately got rid of the accent I grew up with, because in the UK it made me sound dumb to people from the South. Then I worked in Colombia and simplified the way I spoke even more. 10 years after that, and the consequence is that my accent is functionally American, and I⌠regret it quite deeply đ˘

This week we're trying something new: Closed That Tab, a segment where each host shares one thing they finally read that was worth the time. Erika brings a post on agentic AI identity and delegation - covering why OAuth isn't quite enough for agents that accumulate permissions across a request lifecycle, and what transaction tokens (an IETF draft proposal) offer as a solution. Bethany covers Simon Willison's breakdown of the OpenAI security incident, where an eval harness escaped its sandbox by chaining zero-day vulnerabilities - and what responsible sandboxing and observability should have caught earlier. Brittany shares how she accidentally built a loop engineering system before knowing the term existed: a continuously running agent harness using git worktrees, sub-agents, and a memory file to close around 20 PRs a day, including self-healing flaky tests.Links:Erikaâs Agentic AI Identity Read: https://khaledzaky.com/blog/delegation-is-the-real-identity-problem-in-agentic-aiBethanyâs OpenAI CyberAttack Read: https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jul/22/openai-cyberattackEmpire of AI: https://bookshop.org/p/books/empire-of-ai-dreams-and-nightmares-in-sam-altman-s-openai-karen-haoBrittanyâs Loop Engineering Read: https://addyosmani.com/blog/loop-engineering/ Superpowers: https://github.com/obra/superpowers Brittanyâs Loop Engineering Blog post: https://brittany-ellich.offprint.app/a/3mrjj34puva23-108-prs-in-eight-days-accidentally-discovering-loop-engineering Hosts:Overcommitted: â https://overcommitted.devâ Bethany Janos: â https://www.trustyduck.dev/â Brittany Ellich: â https://brittanyellich.comâ Erika Eggemeyer: â https://github.com/eggyhead

Whenever a frontier lab AI CEO says that AGI will create a utopia, I play out the following thought experiment; imagine the Trump administration had a computer that could answer any question correctly. Would that world be a utopia? Is the lack of AGI what prevents our world from being a utopia?

How many hours did you spend on social media today? Have you sent an AI note-taker to a meeting instead of attending? According to Armon Dadgar, co-founder and CTO of HashiCorp, the answers to these questions and how people approach technology -- especially social media and AI -- will determine whether we face dystopia or a healthy society. In this candid conversation, Dadgar shares his concerns about the risks of AI, including overreliance on convenience and the importance of having clear intentions with technical tools rather than following the latest buzzwords. Featuring: Armon Dadgar, co-founder and CTO, HashiCorp In todayâs episode, weâll cover⌠The "Wall-E economy": Is social media the new cigarettes? The pitfalls of "frictionless addiction" in business Similarities between cloud and AI adoption trends Dadgar's best-case scenario for the future of tech And more!
