There’s a collective awe that continues to emanate from the tech community regarding @OpenAI chatGPT. A struggle to fully comprehend the implications and how things will change. We know it’s profound yet can’t wrap our heads around the extent.

I love the World Cup. Let’s go! 🌎⚽️

Can’t wait for the next FSD update @Tesla. V14.3.2 is stubborn. Stays in the left lane and disregards if you put on right signal to make it move over. Same for trying to override navigation to take a right instead of a left. Won’t do it.

MCP Dev Summit scope call: MCP = connectivity layer. It won't become identity or governance. 2026 roadmap: SSO auth, audit trails, gateway scaling. Know the boundary before you build.

I asked one question in Claude Dispatch on the status of a cron job and it came back with a relatively short status message. I checked my usage and that took 14% of my limit. Claude is becoming unusable.

[Jeff D Stephens @JeffDStephens]

These Claude limits are killing me. Didn’t use to be this bad. I’m on the Max plan and burn through my session limits too easily and have to wait hours to reset 😤

ICAO launched a new Public Key Directory yesterday, first major update since 2015. Now covers digital visas, health certs, and mobile credentials across 107 member states. The trust anchor for every interoperable border identity system. https://t.co/Y8yMUhlHKf

I think one of the biggest beneficiaries of AI coding tools are old coders like me. I was a developer for the first 12 years of my career before moving into a solution architecture role and then into technical leadership (e.g., CTO).

Over the years I have still been coding for fun on the side, but like anything the less you use it for “real” work, the more your skills and experience deteriorate.

Now, with AI tooling, we can rekindle our joy of coding and creating without the dredge of package management, the need to learn the latest framework, or the wrangling of syntax.

Dock Labs shipped an MCP server for digital identity. AI agents can now issue/verify credentials and manage DIDs with least-privilege controls baked in. https://t.co/ZJWN8R5d1Y

OpenAI acquires Promptfoo — the AI red-teaming/eval platform used by 25% of Fortune 500. It's going straight into their enterprise agent platform. https://t.co/x2E3bT8Iyf

[Jeff D Stephens @JeffDStephens]

Microsoft is using AI agents to implement security standards across its dev platform, not assist, but actually run the process. This is what agentic infrastructure looks like in production.

OWASP MCP Top 10 dropped in beta. Token mismanagement, shadow MCP servers, context over-sharing, prompt injection → RCE. Confirmed vulns already found in Anthropic's own Git MCP server. This is your enterprise threat model for MCP.

[Jeff D Stephens @JeffDStephens]

GitHub just opened Claude + Codex to all Copilot Business/Pro users. No extra charge. You can now run multiple agents on the same task and compare reasoning paths. That's actually useful for enterprise teams evaluating multi-agent workflows. https://t.co/HepFUiOgbo

[Jeff D Stephens @JeffDStephens]

This whole Anthropic and Department of Defense saga is mind-blowing. Remove your safety controls and comply to our unfettered use or face being labeled as a supply chain risk and be taken over via the Defense Production Act. 🤯 Do I have that right?

[Jeff D Stephens @JeffDStephens]

FSD is so good. It still turns too early more than I like but that’s just a nit now. Overall, having a personal chauffeur at the cost it’s at is crazy.

[Jeff D Stephens @JeffDStephens]

I gave Claude a breakdown of my weekly workout routine and now I’m sore AF.

[Jeff D Stephens @JeffDStephens]

APIs. CLIs. MCP. WebMCP.

The interface layer is fragmenting and requires your adaptability.

The speed is remarkable.

[Director Michael Kratsios @mkratsios47]

The future of AI is agentic, and America is leading the way to make it secure and interoperable.

A new AI Agent Standards Initiative is launching this week @NIST to drive industry-led standards and open protocols that build trust and advance innovation. https://t.co/bS5oqvU8iu

Why did they mess with the formula?? The early start I can only imagine is due to the Olympics. But why change the order? 3 point competition should be right before the dunk contest. Inserting this novelty event between is not the move. Come on @NBCSports, fix this next year! #NBAAllStar

[Jeff D Stephens @JeffDStephens]

Ludicrous Speed

Ultra-low latency Codex:

Can’t wait to try this!

We've released the official https://t.co/AngZk3kQsM MCP server 🎉
But we're also sharing an alternative approach using Claude Project Instructions – no MCP setup needed, works directly in https://t.co/Tw7s9xxTaS in your browser.
