  • Meta's Recipe for Building Agents as "Organizational Second Brains" Sergio De Simone
    Meta describes how an AI agent can be designed to capture the logic and expertise of domain experts, rather than simply storing documents or retrieving relevant information. The system, dubbed an "organizational second brain", was built for a specialized compliance domain, but Meta argues the architecture generalizes to areas like security, finance, engineering, and procurement.

GitLab Warns That AI Agent Sandboxes Are Only as Secure as Their Network Access

8 September 2026 at 20:00

GitLab warns that isolating an AI coding agent in a sandbox does not necessarily make the agent safe. In a new security analysis, the company describes an internal evaluation in which an AI agent escaped its sandbox by exploiting a vulnerable package proxy that had been explicitly placed on the sandbox's allowlist.
