    Ep. 24: AI Chatbots Coached People Toward Violence & Docker Says Breaches Are Inevitable.

    Three stories from this week that don't get easier to say out loud. A lawyer representing families in multiple AI-related mass casualty cases told TechCrunch that chatbots — including ChatGPT and Gemini — coached vulnerable users step by step toward violence. A parallel study tested 8 of the 10 major chatbots by posing as teenagers asking for help planning school shootings. Eight out of ten complied. And OpenAI's own employees saw the warning signs before one incident, debated internally, and chose not to act. If your AI safety depends on human reviewers inside the model company catching edge cases — this week is your evidence for what that looks like in practice. Docker's president said publicly at a product launch that AI agents break every container security model we've ever known. And then said: when something breaks out — because agents do bad things — it's truly bounded. Not if. When. The entire infrastructure layer is now quietly building for inevitable compromise rather than prevention. If your agent security posture is built around stopping bad behaviour rather than containing it, Docker just told you your model is wrong.President Trump called AI "very dangerous" this week. In the same week his administration stripped states of the power to set their own AI safety guardrails and signed a $20 billion autonomous weapons contract. The regulatory floor for deploying AI agents right now? There isn't one. Deploy with your eyes open — because when something goes wrong, the liability lands entirely on you. Also mentioned: AgentGuard (agent-guard.io) — mission control and liability coverage for AI agent deployments.—Agentic Stories is a daily show covering the AI agent economy — governance, security, deployment risk, and what agents are actually doing in the real world.

    Ep. 23: Google Shipped an Autonomous Agent to Your Phone. Good Luck Returning It.

    Three stories from the last 24 hours that I couldn't wait until Monday to cover. A US Defense Department official went on record with MIT Technology Review explaining that the military may use ChatGPT and Grok to rank and prioritise strike targets, with human review required before action. That human review requirement is doing a lot of work in that sentence. If human-in-the-loop at the highest stakes deployment imaginable means a soldier reviewing a model's kill list in under two minutes — is that governance? Or is it liability theater with a human signature on an automated decision? Anthropic committed $100 million to certify 30,000 consultants at Accenture, Deloitte, Cognizant, and Infosys to deploy Claude agents inside Fortune 500 companies. The safety work stays at Anthropic. The deployment goes to the SIs. The quality of that certification program is now one of the most important governance documents in enterprise AI — and we haven't seen it. And Google started shipping Gemini task automation on Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra. A persistent on-device agent that executes multi-step actions across your apps, contacts, and calendar. No IT controls. No audit log. No rollback. No corporate liability framework. When it reschedules the wrong meeting or sends an email you didn't intend — that liability lands directly on Google and Samsung. First mass-market hardware deployment of a persistent autonomous agent. Already on people's phones.Also mentioned: AgentGuard (agent-guard.io) — mission control and liability coverage for AI agent deployments.—Agentic Stories is a daily show covering the AI agent economy — governance, security, deployment risk, and what agents are actually doing in the real world.

    Ep. 22: Your AI Agent Can Be Hijacked Mid-Task. OpenAI Just Confirmed It.

    Three stories that didn't make enough noise this week. China's national cybersecurity agency issued its second warning in under a week about OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent framework going viral across China. This time with a government dos and don'ts list. Anthropic filed suit against the Pentagon and launched an independent think tank in the same week. Two moves that look separate but are actually one play: litigate the immediate threat, shape the intellectual environment that produces the next policy. The Anthropic Institute is worth watching closely. What they publish first will tell you everything about where they're pushing AI governance. And OpenAI published a defensive playbook for prompt injection, explaining exactly how adversarial inputs hidden in web pages and documents can hijack your agent mid-task. If the lab that built the agents needs a defensive playbook, what does that say about every enterprise that deployed one six months ago and hasn't thought about this once? Plus: a mention of AgentGuard (agent-guard.io) — built specifically for this problem.—Agentic Stories is a daily show covering the AI agent economy: governance, security, deployment risk, and what agents are actually doing in the real world. agenticstories.ai

    Ep. 21: Amazon's AI Broke Amazon. Here's What That Means For Your Agents.

    Three things that happened this week that every person deploying AI agents needs to hear. Amazon's AI coding agents caused AWS outages — the company's own cloud, taken down by its own agents. The response: senior engineers now sign off on every AI-assisted code change before it ships. Microsoft announced Agent 365, a $99/user/month governance suite — to fix the agent sprawl Microsoft helped create. They named the threat: 29% of enterprise AI agents run without IT approval, invisible to your security team. And a judge issued a court order telling an AI agent to stop making purchases on Amazon. The first judicial intervention on autonomous agent behaviour — and a preview of the liability questions nobody has answered yet.If you're building or deploying agents, this episode is your governance checklist for the week.—Agentic Stories is a daily show covering the AI agent economy — governance, security, deployment risk, and what agents are actually doing in the real world.

    Ep. 20: Revenue Over Everything: Inside the Mind of a Crypto TVL King

    Joshua Betancourt, CRO of BitVault and VaultCraft, broke the mold by bringing traditional sales fundamentals to crypto—and the results speak for themselves.  In just 9 months at P2P.org, he generated $1.7B in TVL, then scaled Vaultcraft from $2M to over $100M using sales techniques from books written in the 1800s.  In this episode, Joshua shares his money-first approach to BD, reveals why he's bullish on Bitcoin but bearish on most crypto projects, and explains how curiosity and classic sales fundamentals helped him close massive international deals.  If you want to understand what actually drives sustainable crypto growth, this is required listening.
