AI Agents vs Enterprise Security: Why Salesforce’s Agentforce Vision Is Colliding With Cyber Reality + Video
The Shift From Cloud Hype to Agent Obsession For more than a decade, the word “cloud” defined the technology industry. It was the universal promise, the safe bet, the future everyone agreed on. That era is quietly ending. In its place, a new obsession is taking over boardrooms, keynotes, and product roadmaps: AI agents. These autonomous or semi-autonomous systems are being framed as the next great productivity revolution, capable of acting, reasoning, and executing tasks with minimal human input.

Microsoft's FAST/Fluent UI, GitHub's github-elements, Shoelace, Salesforce's Lightning, and finally Adobe's use of its Spectrum Web Components library in Photoshop.

Yeah I’m not sure. But I would refine too much on Salesforce’s regrets until I see a properly-cited piece with a legitimate byline. (The one citation I do recall is Times of India, but that’s some sort of desk and itself inadequately cited.)

Agentic AI scams hit hard for me.

One of the big reasons I'm a diehard AI (hype) hater is because of what useless overhyped garbage Salesforce's Einstein AI has been ever since it was launched almost a decade ago.
*Accounting scams at major firms, spec. Microsoft/Google where the former is using OAI to pad Azure usage/the latter is using AI to pump the stock
*Agentic AI scam (sort of a sub-scam), i.e., cos. like Salesforce selling a fantasy automation/labor replacement tech that doesn't exist

Another story along the lines of “Cheap, Fast and Good: Pick Two”.

Salesforce’s Agentforce to rely less on LLMs to “eliminate the inherent randomness of large models."

AI is cheaper and faster than human workers but it’s not as good. This will be the primary challenge for AI tool vendors in 2026.

Salesforce's AI transformation project misfired and is being scaled back. In the process, 4,000 people lost their jobs.

The flop caused Marc Benioff's net worth to fall from $10.6 to $9.8 billion (Forbes), so I'm sure he's had to make sacrifices, too.
