Today was a leadership summit for Google Cloud people. We learned a lot, and got fresh appreciation for the scale of engineering we do here.
[article] AI agents don’t have to break security controls to go rogue. Here’s how to keep them in check. Containment failure (breaking out of a sandbox) is different from authority failure (using available capabilities to do more than supposed to). Good distinction here.
[blog] Monday Morning SDK Maintenance with Antigravity Scheduled Automations. Moving past chatbot interactions is an important step in actually changing the work. Scheduled automations and async workers are the leap forward.
