+++ US and allies release surprisingly sensible guidance on agentic AI deployment, noting that many organizations are happily granting autonomous systems more access than their monitoring can actually handle. Classic move. +++

Successful RL relies on sufficient exploration of diverse actions by the model during training, which creates a potential failure mode: a model cou..."
+++ Uber's engineers loved Claude Code so much they bankrupt the annual budget in four months, proving that adoption forecasting remains the only thing less predictable than ride-sharing surge pricing. +++
"Uber deployed Claude Code to engineers in December 2025. By April 2026, the company had consumed its entire annual AI budget - not because the tool failed, but because adoption took off faster than anyone planned.
The numbers: 95% of Uber engineers now use AI tools monthly. 70% of committed code or..."
