  AI agents will need persistent unique identifiers that trace their actions back to a responsible actor, and so will the humans directing them.

  Sandboxing is the single most important protection for a coding agent, because it is the only one that bounds the damage when the agent is successfully tricked.

  Their words

  So, I think the most important thing is sandboxing. You want your coding agent running in an environment where if something goes completely wrong, if somebody gets malicious instructions to it, that the damage is greatly limited.

  A live game has to be architected so it can be hotfixed on a dime; waiting for a client patch to fix what is broken is already too slow.

  Their words

  You know, obviously, we patch our games and that’s where we fix a lot of bugs, but if you really wanna run a game like Overwatch or World of Warcraft successfully, you need master level engineers who have architected the client and server in such a way that you can hotfix the game on a dime.

  Their words, before

  If you're a guy in your early 20's, get married and have kids. Go into debt if you have to.

  Their words now

  Most people should get married and have kids much earlier than the current average (and have more kids than the current average). Doing this successfully (without screwing it up with selfish pride) will make the world better and make them happier than anything else they’re doing.

  Most book authors optimise for the status of being published, chasing bestseller lists and reviews instead of the reader.

  Their words

  The authors of most books are looking for many of the magical elements of status that come from successfully being published. They pay attention to the bestseller list. They game it. They pay attention to reviews. They uh worry about what their friends think of the book, even though their friends don't read books.
