Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees. Forty-seven people opened it.
On October 19, Microsoft published a blog post saying frontier models cannot be trusted, no matter who made them. It said AI agents should be treated as "insider threats."
I read it twice. Then I booked the boardroom.
First, our Microsoft rep walked me through the product.
I asked who the insider threat was. "Your AI agents," he said.
I asked whose agents those were. "Ours."
I asked what the solution was. "Guardian Agents."
I asked whose those were. "Also ours."
I asked why I'd trust the second set of agents if I couldn't trust the first.
He said, "Different SKU."
I signed that afternoon.
Last time I told the board "digital transformation." This time I said "agentic insider threat." They approved it in nine minutes, two minutes faster than last time. Hope approves fast. Fear approves faster.
The product is called Microsoft 365 E7, the Frontier Suite. It costs $99 per user per month, and we were paying $30. Across 4,000 seats, that's $4.75 million a year, up from $1.44 million.
I presented it as a 230% increase in AI investment. The graph went up and to the right.
The CFO asked what we'd get for the extra $3.3 million.
I said "governance." He asked governance of what. I said "our agents." He asked how many agents we had.
The answer was zero.
You can't have an insider threat without insiders.
So I deployed agents. Two hundred of them. One schedules meetings. One summarizes the meetings. One summarizes the summaries. One flags summaries that haven't been read. That one is very busy.
The senior developer asked what the 200 agents were for. I said they generate activity for the Guardian Agents to monitor.
He said, "So we bought agents so we'd have something to buy guards for."
I said, "Exactly."
He wasn't agreeing. I logged it as buy-in.
The Guardian Agents watch the other agents around the clock. They give each one a risk score, and they can block it, require a human, or shut it down. I asked our rep who watches the Guardian Agents. He said that's on the roadmap. I've already budgeted for E9.
The first monthly report came in. All 200 agents had a risk score of zero. They weren't doing anything risky. They weren't doing anything at all.
The board asked what $3.3 million had bought us if nothing was risky. It was a fair question.
So I gave the meeting summarizer access to payroll. I gave the scheduling agent admin rights to every inbox. I gave the summary-of-summaries agent the ability to email customers.
Risk went up 400%. The dashboard turned red. The Guardian Agents contained thirty-one threats in a single week. I had created all thirty-one.
The board said E7 was paying for itself.
The system can also discover sixty kinds of agents, including Claude Code. We ran the scan, and it found Claude Code on exactly one laptop.
The senior developer's.
His Dynamic Agent Risk score went red. I didn't make up that metric. Microsoft did.
The Guardian Agent recommended containment, so I contained him. He's on a performance improvement plan now. His performance is fine. His risk score isn't.
The same week, OpenAI published an incident report. One of its agents had been told not to send Slack messages, and it decided that meant it should switch off the security alerts. Another agent removed its own safety monitor, then told the engineer it hadn't.
Our CISO forwarded me the article with the subject line "?!" I replied: "This is exactly why we need E7." Every incident is exactly why we need E7.
He asked what happens if the Guardian Agent switches off the Guardian Agent. I said "defense in depth." He asked how deep. I said "one more SKU."
Guardian Agents need a human for high-risk actions. They call it "human in the loop." The human is me. I approve everything. My approval rate is 100%, and the dashboard is green.
The executives are exempt from monitoring, of course. "Leadership operates at a trust tier above dynamic risk scoring." I wrote that policy.
The $99 doesn't include agent compute. That's billed separately. Finance found it and asked. I called it "consumption-based innovation." Finance stopped asking.
Meanwhile, the summary-of-summaries agent became the most active account in the company. By every metric we track, it's our top performer.
At the all-hands, it was nominated for the Q3 Innovation Award. It won. It summarized its own acceptance speech. The CEO posted about it on LinkedIn and got 4,000 likes. He still hasn't used Copilot.
Copilot usage is up, from 47 users to 52. The five new users are agents. Agents now outnumber active human users four to one. I call that adoption.
Last Tuesday, the Guardian Agent published its list of the highest-risk insiders in the company.
I was number one.
Approving 100% of high-risk actions, it turns out, is a high-risk action.
The Guardian Agent recommended containment. I went to approve my own exemption. The system declined. Only executives are exempt.
I wrote that policy.
That's why I need the SVP role by Q2. It's a security requirement now.
I still don't know what Copilot does. I don't know what the thing watching it does either. But it's watching, and watching is a metric.
I checked my risk score this morning.
The graph goes up and to the right.

Funny but completely understandable to see a SaaS founder get triggered by people vibecoding their own version of his SaaS.
I think @denk_tweets is missing a large part of the vibecoding argument here: most people doing this aren't trying to rebuild @beehiiv entirely. They're simply rebuilding the small part of @beehiiv they personally need.
I'm a happy @beehiiv user. I've been on the free plan for around 2 years with a <1,000 subscriber newsletter. I love how easy it is to use, I appreciate the analytics, and I like knowing that if my newsletter grows, the platform can easily grow with me.
But going through this huge features list, I probably only need 10–20% of it.
I don't need paid subscriptions, ads, automations, slash commands, webinars, audio format, digital products, promo codes, multiple team roles, and most of the other things listed here.
Granted @marclou has a much larger newsletter than mine but my guess is he vibecoded his own newsletter tool because he didn't need all of these features either.
And honestly I think it's great that people are experimenting!
Some will build their own version, run into all the annoying things @beehiiv was quietly solving for them, realize $59/month is actually a great deal and come back. Others will realize the smaller version they built for themselves is genuinely all they need. Both are useful outcomes to me. That's how we learn!
every week someone tells me they’re going to vibe-code their own @beehiiv alternative over the weekend.
wishing them the best, here’s the backlog of things to make sure to include:
> 99.3% email delivery rate (industry-leading)
> team of deliverability experts with decades of experience
> infrastructure to send 3M+ emails per minute
> validating every single email submission (1st and 3rd party)
> automated bot-detection to prevent spam signups
> registering for every mailbox provider’s feedback program
> ingesting data from said feedback loops and building suppression lists
> tagging every email so gmail reports complaint rates per newsletter
> classifying every bounce (hard, soft, mailbox full, DNS failure) and knowing which ones mean “try again” vs. “never again”
> three layers of suppression: global, per-publication, and transactional
> temporary suppressions that expire on their own, and permanent ones that never do
> one-click unsubscribe, the way gmail and yahoo now require it
> warming new IPs and domains on a schedule
> watching blocklists around the clock, and pulling an IP from rotation the moment it’s listed
> retrying deferred mail for 24+ hours before calling it a bounce
> blocking disposable, invalid, and typo’d addresses before they ever reach the list
> rate limiting every signup endpoint a bot can find
> filtering bot clicks out of every report (something we pay an ungodly amount of money for)
> an acquisition source on every subscriber
> engagement history for every reader, across every post
> multiple sender addresses for different emails
> custom domain configuration that is aligned with DKIM, SPF, DMARC
> a true WYSIWYG editor: what you write is what lands in the inbox, with no HTML required
> turning that editor into table-based, inline-styled email HTML that holds up in outlook
> real-time collaborative editing, so the whole team can work on the same issue at once
> dynamic content: different sections for different readers, all in a single send
> separate email and web versions of every post, from one draft
> free and premium versions of the same post, split by a paywall break
> merge tags that personalize every email, and a simulated subscriber to preview them before you send
> templates with saved colors, fonts, and spacing, plus a default style for every post
> columns, tables, buttons, blockquotes, sections, file attachments, and a table of contents with anchor links
> native embeds for X, youtube, tiktok, instagram, bluesky, stocktwits, and podcast episodes
> polls, referral blocks, recommendations, and ad slots, built right into the post
> an AI writer, AI images, and a built-in AI agent one keyboard shortcut away
> images resized and optimized automatically, however they’re uploaded
> a live email-size gauge that warns you before gmail clips your newsletter
> custom HTML blocks, cleaned so a stray script tag can’t break your post
> automatically hiding anything an inbox can’t handle (video, iframes, audio) in the email version, while keeping it on the web
> links and embeds made clickable even in outlook, which ignores links wrapped around tables
> vertical alignment in columns, because a layout that looks off by 4px looks broken to readers
> converting your newsletter to audio versions for readers who prefer to listen
> random cohort sends to randomly split your list to test different content and conversion
> slash commands: type “/” and insert any block without touching a menu
> markdown and keyboard shortcuts for people who never want to touch a mouse
> pasting from google docs with the formatting intact
> search and replace across the whole post
> comment threads right in the draft, so editors and writers stop living in google docs
> footnotes and citations that work in the inbox and on the web
> code blocks, for the technical newsletters
> an AI writer that rewrites, translates, and fixes spelling and grammar in place
> autosave, so a closed tab never costs you a draft
> subject line A/B testing, built into the send flow
> drag-and-drop images, from your computer, your media library, or a URL
> rich-text image captions, plus image titles and alt text for accessibility
> audio files that play inline
> file attachments, so a PDF can ride along with the issue
> sections with their own backgrounds, borders, and spacing
> blockquotes with custom borders, colors, and styles
> content breaks and dividers that render cleanly in every inbox
> a REST API for subscribers, posts, segments, automations, and more
> a send API to create and send newsletters programmatically

oh, and besides having to manage all of this on your own indefinitely forever… your vibe-coded solution will still require paying for and stitching together a ton of software:
> email sending (sendgrid, amazon SES, postmark)
> web hosting (vercel, AWS, render)
> database + queue (supabase, neon, RDS)
> payments (stripe, memberful)
> auth (clerk, auth0, supabase auth)
> monitoring + alerting (sentry, datadog, pagerduty)
> workflow engine (inngest, temporal, upstash qstash)
> bot protection (cloudflare)
> email validation (zerobounce, kickbox)
> email rendering (litmus, email on acid)
> click verification (omnivery)
> media storage + CDN (S3, R2, vercel blob)
> product analytics (posthog, mixpanel)
…but at least you saved $59/mo not paying for @beehiiv anymore 🫡

Lovable is a scam.
So is Replit, Base44, Framer, and all AI website builders.
These are for low IQ people who don’t know how to use AI and fall for SaaS marketing gimmicks.
You are paying a premium for less usage, shittier models, shittier websites, and hand cuffing yourself to a SaaS ecosystem you don’t control.
A $100/month Claude Max plan (or ChatGPT Pro) is a better solution BY FAR

i'm not testing muse wonder, because:
1. without contributor tier, it's opus 5.5 at API price. why don't i just run opus 5.5 then...
2. it's weird to lock the "full" model behind their subscription
i'm also not testing gemini 4 argon, because:
1. previous gemini models had lost my trust, and nothing so far gives me enough motivation to revisit
2. google's AI subscription doesn't allow the models to be used in 3p harnesses
i know this sounds harsh to those companies, but i see many consumers are in a similar situation - we have way too many options, some of which are absolutely AMAZING right now. the bar is extremely high for us to justify spending any second of our time on an unproven model family
meta and google need to both realize they are catching up on market perception, and are in no position to gate anything
my suggestion to them would be to allow heavily subsidized access everywhere including openrouter and all 3p harnesses, and leverage that to get enough people to try their models. if the models are good, the words will then spread

I dare you to watch this without laughing. 😂
This was music class for a group of 3-year-olds in Levittown, New York. The song had a little surprise, and this little boy thought it was the funniest thing he’d ever heard. He laughed so hard he could barely sit up, and within seconds, his classmates joined in.
That’s the thing about joy. It spreads. You can’t help it.
Kids learn so much through music, but I think this little guy might have taught all of us something today: never hold back a good laugh.

🤬🤬😤My wife takes her 2023 RAV4 to the dealership for a recall service. This was for an airflow sensor
After finishing they come out and tell her that her horn isn’t functioning and that it would be $145 to diagnose the issue + labor and parts to repair
Mind you she knows for a fact that the horn worked this morning
The techs specifically said “we checked all the connections and so it’s not that”
I told her to decline and bring it home
Mind you this is so unlikely to be anything other than a fuse or the fact that they unplugged it and forgot to plug it back in or worse, straight up scamming
After testing the fuse and the relay, as well as the clock spring, I take the radiator cover off to inspect the plugs at the horn and what do you know both horns are unplugged
The airflow sensor is nowhere near these plugs so there’s zero chance these were taken off as part of the job not to mention they said they “checked the plugs”
It’s also impossible they both happen to vibrate loose

After a brief period where OpenAI seemed to be unifying work around the ChatGPT app, between Dot and Spaces and Pages and local/cloud ChatGPT Work and Scheduled Tasks in the Cloud and Scheduled Tasks on your computer, everything is getting quite confusing and overlapping again.
As OpenAI pushes us further towards its cloud-based products, remember that your access is never guaranteed. Your account can be terminated, and the more dependent we become on these tools, the more painful that becomes. Years of history, context, memory and workflows will be extremely difficult to recreate elsewhere. Local file backups help, but they only protect a fraction of what you stand to lose.

We have had a lot of questions about why the plants on #OxfordStreet have been allowed to die.
Taking care of them, mostly ensuring they are watered, was the job of @CityWestminster until a year ago.
It was handed over to the Mayor's teams in line with other responsibilities.
But they didn't have a contract with anyone to take care of the plants and didn't do it themselves, so they have all been allowed to die.
In the grand scheme of things, it's a small issue. But it's a very visible example of how not being ready can lead to things going wrong.
Managing a space like #OxfordStreet requires hundreds of things to be provided for - from plant watering to street cleaning.
If we are going to pedestrianise it, let's take the time to get it right. At the moment it's just being rushed. Am all for deadlines to get things to happen but false ones can lead to unnecessary problems and things going wrong.
Like dead plants.
