Ready or not...

Are you ready for artificial intelligence agents? Actually it doesn't really matter if you're ready or not because here they come! According to Nitasha Chopra (VP & COO, Microsoft Copilot Studio), "These six pillars define what it takes to be agent-ready at the enterprise level-and how to make adoption stick in 2026 and beyond:
Ability for anyone to turn intent into agents
Agents that can own workflows from end to end
Power to coordinate agents for real outcomes
Flexibility to control your agent models
Agents that can act across your systems
Capability to scale agents without sacrificing control"br> Read more at Microsoft Copilot Blog: The 6 pillars that will define agent readiness in 2026

Freaking me out

I'm not really sure how to describe Moltbook. Benj Edwards describes it as "a Reddit-style social network." That's accurate enough I suppose at the technical level, but fails to adequately describe the content. I have a billion questions starting with why are AI agents even social? What would they need to chat about philosophy or with each other about sisters they've never met? There are seemingly no guardrails on what can be discussed. Be prepared to be freaked out as you read more at ars technica: AI agents now have their own Reddit-style social network, and it's getting weird fast

Twin crises: authority and authorship

Kristin Calve shares some interesting insight into her view on AI, which somewhat goes agaisnt the grains of media's primary focus. She writes, "In a recent conversation with Paul Walker, Global Solutions Director at iManage, it became clear that the most serious AI risk has little to do with hallucinations-and everything to do with information authority." Paul says, "AI doesn't struggle with volume. It struggles with precedence-knowing which version of the truth still applies." Here is the key: "That distinction should be unsettling for legal and compliance leaders. Precedence is not metadata; as Walker put it, it is judgment-embedded in how organizations retire old positions, update assumptions, and signal what no longer governs. Most enterprises never formalized that process because humans compensated. People knew which documents to trust and which to ignore." And through Stephen Abram we have Ch. Mahmood Anwar's post on AI as "the new ghost in the scholarly machine." Read more at:
