AI agents keep secrets in plain memory while they run.

IronClaw puts them in encrypted enclaves on NEAR AI Cloud, invisible even to the model itself.

This is extraordinary on many levels. A programming coup. If I'm understanding this properly (and I may not be), the development team on this essentially reverse-engineered Adobe's proprietary code, dramatically improved on it, removed bloat, made it more efficient, and released it as open source.

Apple is changing macOS permissions because AI agents make broad access more dangerous.

This is a mundane security problem with familiar solutions; least privilege, explicit authorization and strong access controls.

Don’t give an agent broad access then rely only on “alignment” to make it behave.

AI agents based on foundation models (FMs) have demonstrated strong capabilities to perform complex open-ended tasks. However, they face some common challenges in practice: (a) agent behavior can deviate drastically even for semantically similar tasks, leading to catastrophically propagated errors;…
