Browsing the web could become as archaic as renting a DVD, and sooner than most people realize. My @felicis colleague, @EricFlaningam, and I wrote about the infrastructure being built today to enable this future, and which vertical applications of AI agents we find most exciting ➡️ felicis.com/insight/the-agen…

We surveyed over 50 CISOs, and the majority think AI will impact cybersecurity MORE than the Cloud did.
If true, there's major changes coming for security, given Cloud ushered in Zero Trust, shifted spending from Network to Identity & Endpoint, birthed decacorns like @wiz_io and more.
Some of the top findings and ways AI will impact Security 👇

“For those of you who are interested in statistics, this is a five-sigma event. So it's five standard deviations beyond the mean. Which means that if nothing had changed, we'd expect to see a winter like this about once every 7.5 million years.” abc.net.au/news/2023-07-24/a…

.@laurenboebert you have played a major role in elevating anti-LGBT+ hate rhetoric and anti-trans lies while spending your time in Congress blocking even the most common sense gun safety laws.
You don’t get to “thoughts and prayers” your way out of this. Look inward and change.

In other words, a near-perfect replication of the existing verification scheme, under a different name.
So much for power to the people

Rest in peace, Jonathan Tjarks. I loved that guy a lot and am a better person for having known him. His most recent piece on his fight with cancer is one of the most powerful things I've ever read.
I want to say more but I feel numb right now.
