Trace it back
 Elissa Malespina has a quote from Timothy Snyder's On Freedom,"The Internet cannot report. It can only repeat." That makes you think. Elissa's subtitle is "What AI literacy misses when we stop at the answer." That makes you think as well! To continue on these thoughts, she writes, "Journalists publish original reporting online every day. What Snyder's line made me think about instead was something we do not talk about nearly enough in AI literacy: Where did the information come from before AI ever got hold of it? Before AI can tell us what happened, someone has to actually find out." A hat tip to Stephen Abram for finding this excellent post.

Agents 101
 Prompts are the subject of these two posts. In the first post by Anamarija Pogorelec she notes that based on information from Gee Rittenhouse and Eric Johnson that you need to change to security scope from the system prompt to the retrieval layer.

Falling through the cracks
 I don't usually see lawyers like David Halbreich (insurance recovery partner at Reed Smith) quoted in sources like this. In this post, he "breaks down how AI companies should handle coverage gaps that come up as the industry grows." What does David see when an AI company calls him for the first time? "The most common misconception like this that I encounter is not about the 'what' of coverage, but rather the 'when.' With all the merger activity in the AI space, there has been renewed focus on 'straddle' claims that fall through the cracks of the tail and going-forward policies after a merger."
