Hello fellow developer, the AI race that we're experiencing is not only taxing the internet in terms of traffic, but the big players are also having problems keeping their infrastructure up to scratch. Some already started limiting their free services to ensure the premium ones run smoothly and there is a massive shortage in RAM and SSDs. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. Will we get a much faster experience overall, or will there be a web with different access classes even more than connectivity dictates now? But first, let's talk about an open source tool to make agents a lot safer…

Securing AI Agents from the Ground Up - Luke Hinds

AI agents are incredibly powerful and sometimes too keen to access and distribute information for us. Luke Hinds created an open source tool and service called nono.sh that makes it easy to use agents, but keep them in check by using low-level, kernel security tools and practices. Check out what he had to say about it and where to start.
