Campaigns Are Knowledge Workers and the Tools Just Caught Up
Agentic AI can change campaign operations. The organizations that outlast November need to lead.

Software engineers are losing their minds over Claude Code and agents.

Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

Honestly at this moment if you have chat friends who 1) are using Signal Desktop, and 2) are running Clawdbot/Moltbot/OpenClaw on that same computer, just assume your chats can be exfiltrated minimally to Anthropic and maximally worse.

There really is no great way to give secrets like API creds to LLM Agent Skills right now. Everything risks the model reading the secret... env vars, .env files, even keyring access (better if gated with user approval) risks the agent just reading the thing or writing code and stdout'ing the thing.
