M.G. Siegler of Spyglass is back for our monthly tech news discussion. M.G. joins us to discuss Moltbook, the new Reddit-style social network where 150,000 AI agents are chatting, upvoting, and even proposing their own private language to keep humans out. Tune in to hear whether this is a preview of the singularity or just elaborate role-play—and why the security vulnerabilities are genuinely concerning. We also cover NVIDIA quietly backing away from its $100 billion OpenAI deal, Apple's record quarter that Wall Street shrugged off, and OpenAI's race to IPO before Anthropic (with Elon potentially beating them both). Hit play for a conversation about where AI is heading and what it means when the bots start talking to each other.

 Topics:

• We ended our season talking about the AI apocalypse. In your opinion, are we living in the world that the guests describe in their apocalypse paper? 
• Do you think AI-powered attacks are really here, and if so, what is your plan to respond? Is it faster patching? Better D&R? Something else altogether? 
• Your team has a hybrid agent workflow: could you tell us what that means?  Also, define "AI agent" please.
• What are your production use cases for AI and AI agents in your SOC?
• What are your overall SOC metrics and how does the agentic AI part play into that?
• It's one thing to ask a team "hey what did y'all do last week" and get a good report - how are you measuring the agentic parts of your SOC?
• How are you thinking about what comes next once AI is automatically writing good (!) rules for your team out of research blog posts and TI papers?
