    Green Lights, Wrong Answers: Trusting AI Agents That Fail Silently
    Oct 17 2026
    Before a recent launch, an AWS team's internal AI agent turned $410.08 of a customer's revenue into '$410.08 Million' — fluent, confident, and wrong, while every monitoring dashboard stayed green. Daniel and Emily dig into why agents fail silently, whether evaluation can become the operating system of trust, and what's left for human judgment when the machine drafts the answer. ## Hosts ### Daniel Altman Daniel Altman is a computer scientist and AI strategist with a background in engineering, quantitative research, and emerging technologies.

    Oct 15 2026
    Frontier labs warn their own products could be catastrophic, and a popular rebuttal calls the whole thing a corporate plot to hype, distract, or lock in regulation.
