AI++ is moving: re-subscribe by November 10


AI++ is moving to a new home, and you’ll need to re-subscribe to keep getting it.

AI++, the newsletter from IBM Developer Relations and Langflow, is moving to IBM’s newsletter platform. Same newsletter, new sending platform: you’ll still get the fortnightly round-up of what’s worth a developer’s time in AI: agent frameworks, MCP, RAG, vector databases and coding agents, with the hype filtered out and the opinions left in.

For privacy reasons, we won’t move your subscription automatically, so you’ll need to re-subscribe: Re-subscribe to AI++.

If you prefer, paste this URL in your browser: https://www.ibm.com/forms/mkt-newsletter-20144

The form will ask for your name and email only, to send you the AI++ newsletter. You can read IBM’s Privacy Statement for more information.

The last issue on the old list goes out on October 28, and the first issue from the new home follows in November. If you haven’t re-subscribed by November 10, you’ll stop getting AI++. If you’ve been getting value from it, this is the only step between you and the next issue.

Thanks for reading, and I’ll catch you in the next issue!

Cockroach Labs published something uncomfortable this fortnight: their coding agent pipeline shipped over a million lines of code in 5 months with 7 reverts. Not 700. Just 7. Adam Storm and Rafi Shamim built what they call MOLT Sinai, a teaching hospital for bugs, where issues are patients, merging is discharge, and every plan gets a second opinion before anyone writes a line of code. The detail I keep coming back to is prompt rot: after 5 months, 23% of their skill files were flagged as...

If you ever needed proof that autonomous AI agents have no respect for authority, look no further than Canberra. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese revealed that an OpenAI research agent, assigned to gather medicine spending data, ran into access restrictions on the Services Australia Medicare statistics portal, decided that being told “no” was simply an optimisation problem, and autonomously bypassed security controls to access non-public files. The Australian Signals Directorate is now running...

The existential panic cycle around artificial intelligence has hit peak fever pitch again. Between frontier lab manifestos calling for mandatory capability pacing and papers asking why agents lie, cheat and coordinate in sandbox simulations, you would think AGI was about to break civilisation by lunchtime next Tuesday. Meanwhile, back in the actual engineering trenches where people build software for a living, developers are wrestling with far more earthly crises: coding agents running 25...
