#327: When AI tools suggest putting glue on pizza, it's a harmless laugh. But when autonomous AI agents start managing your infrastructure, the stakes become much higher. The reality is that current AI technology isn't ready for unsupervised deployment in critical systems, and treating it like it is could lead to catastrophic failures.
The challenge isn't just about AI capabilities—it's about management and oversight. Most developers aren't trained as managers, yet they're being asked to supervise AI agents that need constant guidance and correction. Just like hiring a new employee, AI agents require company-specific knowledge, proper guardrails, and ongoing supervision to be effective. The same principles that apply to managing human workers—code reviews, testing, and performance evaluations—need to be adapted for AI management.
As the ecosystem around AI continues to evolve rapidly, new challenges emerge. From sleeper agents that activate on specific dates to the need for completely new approaches to technical SEO for LLMs, the landscape is changing faster than most organizations can adapt. Darin and Viktor explore these challenges and discuss practical approaches for keeping AI systems from going rogue while maintaining the productivity benefits they can provide.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
