Nouveau Artificial intelligence has changed cybersecurity permanently. While OpenAI’s inadvertent attack on Hugging Face brought AI-generated attacks to everyone’s attention, AI has been on security professionals’ radar for a long time. AI makes attacks possible at a scale that was hard to imagine a few years ago. Newly discovered zero-days can be exploited almost immediately. Deepfakes […]
Récent In my work with G7–G12 students at Force Academy, a research initiative in Chongqing, I sometimes take a project that appears to be finished and give another student responsibility for using, checking, or modifying it. The handoff is a test of understanding: Can the work still make sense when its creator is no longer there […]
Récent This summer, I built a small experiment called ContextCue. The idea came from something I kept seeing during my internship. The engineers around me were using AI everywhere in the software development process. GitHub Copilot and Claude models helped with specs, code, reviews, and tests. The team also maintained reusable skills that taught coding agents […]
In my previous article, I argued that agentic development needs enough specification to make correctness checkable. A quick prompt can get implementation started quickly, but someone still has to decide whether the result does what we wanted. I left a fairly practical question unanswered, though. Once the agent has written the code, how should we […]
The following article originally appeared on Addy Osmani’s Elevate blog and is being republished here with the author’s permission. For much of human history, we’ve evaluated code quality via code review: Someone reads what you wrote and makes sure it’s clean, thoughtful, fast, understandable, and tests well. For agents, that approach doesn’t scale well; there’s […]
I use AI for writing all the time. But not because it’s good at writing. In fact, just the opposite is true. AI is so reliably bad at writing that I’ve actually taken advantage of that, and made its bad writing an integral part of my writing process. I’ve written a lot of books and […]
In my previous Radar article, “Architectural Guardrails for AI-Generated Code,” I argued that AI coding agents need a layer that can hold architectural decisions in a structured corpus, retrieve the relevant ones, put them into the agent’s context before it writes code, and enforce explicit constraints with reproducible checks. Testing that model exposed two distinctions […]

We can look at a page and quickly understand where to enter information or which control will complete an action. AI agents don’t see or use the web the same […]

On a recent episode of This Week in AI, we discussed that the number of nonhumans on the internet is greater than humans, 144 to 1. It’s an estimate, and the order of magnitude is more important than the number itself. What matters is what a ratio anywhere in that range does to a security […]
Artificial intelligence systems are difficult to reproduce because their behavior depends on nondeterministic models and on data, configurations, policies, and external services that continue to change. But exact reproducibility is not always what operators, investigators, or auditors need. They often need something different: historical reconstructability. The central claim is that reconstructability is a system property […]
This is the final post in a four-part series about post-training. If you missed them, check out part 1, part 2, and part 3. Time to get your hands dirty! I’ll take you through implementing the key pieces of the classic ChatGPT pipeline: SFT, then reward model training, then PPO. The goal isn’t to reproduce […]

Decision records give coding agents durable project context—as long as they don’t turn every decision into a courtroom transcript. Architectural Decision Records (ADRs) help human teams establish rules and carry context forward in software projects. They capture […]
