⚡ Quick stat that hit me today: Australia graduates ~17k engineers per year. China graduates ~1.3 million.

At the same time, ~70% of the infrastructure that will exist in 2050 isn’t built yet.

New blog post. I really wanted to rant about some silly things I've seen people do with Lambda functions.

It’s 2025 and somehow this still needs to be said.

Recursion is elegant in theory BUT, in the cloud, it’s a costly disaster waiting to happen.

SDS tools can understand your data in the same way as #MSFTCopilot and @glean but they can also understand permissions. This means they can identify misconfigured documents before a data leak is exposed.
Semantic Data Security (SDS) Tools can identify when documents are misconfigured based on the information found within. In this image 2 documents identified in red have been detected as having anomalous permissions based on how other documents are related semantically in the knowledge base.

This is my example for how this problem can manifest in the real world. This data leak can cause significant issues inside of an organisation for legal, ethical, and economic reasons.
A user (Bob) in accounting can make an innocuous query for “sales reports for last financial year” the response that Bob is expecting would contain extracts from the sales reports over the last year. However with Generative AI and a permission misconfiguration, Bob is also shown another users’ (Alice in sales) performance report that shows she is under review due to her poor sales performance in the last financial year. While the root cause of this data leak is a misconfiguration of permissions in the knowledge base, it is Generative AI that causes the leak to be exposed.

Marc Benioff has brought this up several times as one of the reasons corporations are afraid to adopt #MSFTCopilot and other #genAI tools.

Microsoft rebranding Copilot as ‘agents’? That’s panic mode. Let’s be real—Copilot’s a flop because Microsoft lacks the data, metadata, and enterprise security models to create real corporate intelligence. That is why Copilot is inaccurate, spills corporate data, and forces customers to build their own LLMs. Clippy 2.0, anyone? Meanwhile, Agentforce is transforming businesses now. Agentforce doesn’t just handle tasks—it autonomously drives sales, service, marketing, analytics, and commerce. With data, LLMs, workflows, and security all integrated into a single Customer 360 platform: This is what AI was meant to be. ❤️🤖 #Agentforce #Customer360

Governments and tightly regulated industries aren't taking this lightly. The Australian government has already flagged it as a risk in their #MSFTCopilot trial.

Their information management in SharePoint is not great which has resulted in end users finding information that they shouldn’t have had access to, though this is a governance and data management issue - not a Copilot issue. Agency representative in DTA interview.
