There may not be a "right" way to use AI. One person builds layers of specialized tools. Another obsesses over architecture and testing. Someone else learns by jumping in, breaking things and figuring out why.

The point isn't to replicate somebody else's setup. It's to build a way of working with AI that makes sense for how you think and how you work.

That's one of our favorite takeaways from the latest episode of Gradient Descent. Watch the full conversation here, or wherever you get your podcasts: https://t.co/f5U8jmOam7

Getting bad results from AI? Before blaming the model, look at what you're giving it.

Intent matters. Context matters. Direction matters. The more AI understands what you're trying to accomplish and what it has to work with, the better chance it has of giving you something useful.

In the latest episode, the Gradient Descent crew compares what's actually working in their day-to-day AI workflows, including some lessons learned the hard way.

Mission success depends on more than healthy infrastructure. It depends on understanding what your users actually experience.

At TechNet Augusta, RavenTek and @Riverbed will demonstrate how Aternity delivers end-user observability that helps Army organizations detect issues faster, reduce downtime, and improve mission readiness.

If you're attending, stop by the Riverbed booth #606 and see how operational visibility can strengthen cyber readiness.

Your next coworker may not be human.

As AI agents become part of everyday work, organizations will have to answer an important question: How much should you trust them?

One simple framework from our AI experts is to treat an AI agent like a new employee. Give it only the access it needs, verify its actions, and build trust over time.

Optimistic about AI. Concerned about the consequences. That's "Apocaloptimism."

Most organizations don’t have an API problem. They have a visibility problem.

Organizations routinely underestimate how many APIs exist across their environments, creating blind spots that attackers can exploit.

AI is finding vulnerabilities faster than many agencies can remediate them.

The future of vulnerability management isn’t just patching faster. It’s coordinating risk response across the enterprise. Read more: https://t.co/1jtf6r9iWD

AI is only powerful if humans can trust it.

That’s why we’re teaming up with @VirtualiticsAI at @AFCEA #WEST, bringing together explainable AI, immersive data exploration, and real-world mission expertise.

Together, we’re helping defense teams:
• See complex data in intuitive, interactive ways
• Ask better questions—faster
• Make confident decisions without black-box risk

Federal endpoint teams are being asked to do the impossible: More devices. More threats. Fewer people.

Manual endpoint operations simply don’t scale anymore. Autonomous endpoint management isn’t about replacing humans. It’s about letting teams focus on what matters most.

@SayWhichWay Based on the Falcon’s track record, holding to a player like that is a thing. Deion brought a bit of electricity to an otherwise bad football team. Having said that… we have a few more recent ones to be a fan of.
