Was just installing OpenAI Atlas on my Mac and it asked for Bluetooth access. Have I just watched too much Black Mirror, or is this indeed cause enough to abandon ship?

PSA: Out of an abundance of caution we rebuilt all Toolhive MCP images in response to the npm chalk and debug npm package exploit. Practically container isolation would significantly mitigate the impact regardless.

The @stacklok.com crew has been thinking a lot recently about multi-tenant MCP service auth* and task delegation.

I imagine a lot of folks out there are jamming on the same problem. Would love to chat if you are…

Agentic systems are amazing, but you would be right to be a bit nervous about the security implications. The Codegate team is working hard to bring clean, invisible, local and perhaps most significantly community friendly controls so that you can use these tools with confidence.
Cline support coming into CodeGate shortly

I wish managers would stop thinking about their relationship with employees through the lens of finite game theory. The median tenure of employees in the US public sector is 3.9 years. West Coast tech is probably 1-2 years. Great relationships span decades. See the human being and invest in them.

This is the way.

Mainframe era: Vertically integrated; closed system
Client server era: open(ish) ecosystem on two monopolies (Intel/Microsoft).
Cloud era: Vertically integrated with ecosystem as a neccessary afterthought.
GenAI era: ?

I vote for open ecosystem.
The leading open-source AI code assistant 🤝 the open protocol between LLM apps & external data sources + tools ✅✅✅

I liked the ecosystem centric flavor of AWS’s GenAI announcements this week. More energy spent on unlocking partners, providing better picks and shovels and unlocking data access to GenAI than on the simply slogging it out with Meta, Alphabet, et al on FMs and direct integration.

As a manager, always provide feedback in the moment. Never in the heat of the moment.
