Episode Description
A new red-teaming framework walked into production AI agents -- the coding assistants wired into your files and inbox -- and got in almost every time, with a chilling twist: the better an agent is at its job, the easier it is to break. We unpack how it grades what agents actually do instead of what they claim, then the two defenses fighting back -- auditing the tool-and-skill supply chain, and fast safety guards that reason in training but not at runtime. Plus the elegant flip side: teaching a model to page its own memory like an operating system. And in the news: Meta's Muse models, the slop cleanup economy, and a copyright reframe that could touch every AI company.
