AI

Microsoft’s Copilot-style agents are showing up with identity and permissions in the company directory. Cool. Your AI now has a nameplate and keys.

Same season, researchers talked about Plugin4Shell: a zero-click path that can hit developer machines through coding agents and walk past “approved plugin” lists. Sandboxes are homework, not wallpaper.

We gave serious horsepower a desk badge. The bill for every mile still lands on a human. That is the fun part of respect: scoped access, a log you can read, and an off switch you do not need a vendor ticket to find.

Monday move: treat each agent like the coworker it now is. Give it a badge if you want. Keep the brakes in your hand.

AI is the greatest tech we have. Prefer a human in the seat over a hope with a safety logo on it.
