Microsoft shipped a really compelling product on top of @OpenClaw today. We worked with them since March to make the codebase ready for large-scale deployments, they are a great partner and open-source contributor. 🙏🦞
Today we announced the preview of Microsoft Autopilot is rolling out to our first customers - "Autopilot is a persistent, proactive and personal agent that keeps working even when you’re not" It's been a while since I updated you all on what we are building. First Scout is now Autopilot, and my team leads building this personal agent. We are building Autopilot on @openclaw, working with @steipete and the OpenClaw Foundation to make it a fantastic enterprise grade runtime. blogs.microsoft.com/blog/202… Re-introducing Sebastian, my Autopilot - and he is as excited as I am!

The Lord's Day is not a burden for the Christian. It is a gift. A weekly reminder to gather with God's people, hear His Word, worship Christ, and remember that this world is not our home.

Weekend learners, this one's for you. 💪 What if your report consumers could do more than browse reports? In this walkthrough, Marthe demonstrates how to build a Microsoft Fabric Data Agent. 🎥 Watch Now: youtube.com/watch?v=mFoSVcj6… #microsoftfabric #powerbi #guyinacube

The best projects are using more automated reviews, validation/smoke testing, auto-rollbacks than ever before to keep up with the pace. PRs are growing incredibly quickly, we see Copilot Code Review being used a TON more even if you use different agents to create the PR.
Fresh data from GitHub: Agent-generated PRs have exploded in size. 9x the last 8 months (!!) No signs of slowing down. This is why everyone is rethinking code reviews, deploys, possibly even o11y thanks @kdaigle + team for the stat! (Slide from my talk yesterday)

There has been much well-deserved noise over the weekend about the pace of AI model development and AI safety. We have published a Code of Conduct for governing Microsoft AI models. For our commercial customers and partners, this is why a Trust platform that focuses on holistic observability of your technology stack is imperative. Every AI asset must be managed, governed, secured, and measured with FinOps to determine its ROI. This includes the models you choose to use. An open, heterogenous, and model-diverse platform is required for organizations to compound and protect their intelligence and not leak value or IP to the model. While AI transformation was about efficiency, Frontier transformation is about humanity. Becoming frontier means democratizing intelligence to unlock creativity, fuel innovation, and drive growth in every industry. As Mustafa explains simply in point #1: people matter more than AI.

Any pursuit of superintelligence has to be grounded in the core principle that if the AI we build is not helping humanity and under human control, it's not worth pursuing. We also need to accelerate and spread the benefits of AI, such that they are diffused broadly across countries, communities, and companies. This requires a frontier ecosystem in which both closed and open-source models can thrive. And for firms, it’s imperative that they retain full control over their unique and tacit knowledge. Every organization should be able to build its own continuous learning loop/hill climbing machine, without becoming dependent on any one model provider, and have the ability to embed its own knowledge into models and weights they control. So, in this context, we welcome the research, focus, and deliberate pacing needed to get alignment right as the design goal. We also welcome ideas like "embedded evaluators" and the broader efforts to develop the mechanisms to make this more than just talk. The key is that this cannot be controlled by a handful of entities, but must have broad representation across the ecosystem, countries, and fields, including academia. This is the approach we are taking: broad access and choice at every layer of the AI stack; enterprise control of learning loops and models; and the “Code of Conduct” that underlies our own first party MAI models that we’ll publish tomorrow for public consultation.

I agree with Dario that we need to pace the frontier. This has been a primary topic of discussions we've had at OpenAI in recent weeks. Committing to having independent evaluators with employee-like access is a great idea, and we will do the same. We'll have more to share soon.
We Must Pace the Frontier: I’ve written a new essay on why the AI industry should slow down, with a three-part plan for doing so. Anthropic is unilaterally committing to the first of these steps. We’ll provide third-party evaluators with permanent, employee-level access to our systems, so that they can verify adherence to our safety measures, report on incidents, and assess models’ alignment during training.

A Cardinal Breaks Down the Evidence for Jesus’ Resurrection “The resurrection is, first of all, testified to by a host of witnesses. We have the four Gospels, which all have an account of the resurrection of our Lord and of his appearance for 40 days after his resurrection. And these accounts are historical.” “The fact of the empty tomb of our Lord. His tomb was found completely empty. We see, too, many other testimonies to the resurrection. One of the most striking ones is the conversion of Saint Paul. Paul was a Pharisee who persecuted aggressively the Church and believers. He was on his way to persecute the Church further when the Lord spoke to him, appeared to him, and said to him, ‘Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?’” @cardinalrlburke

Today marks the launch of the new Bible series with Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke. We begin with the Old Testament, breaking down its origins, covenants, key figures, and how it lays the foundation for the New Testament, which we’ll cover this Thursday. Please share your favorite passage or story from the Old Testament. @cardinalrlburke
