Q Developer hits end-of-support as Kiro takes over, Bedrock AgentCore adds first-party payment support, and a Lars Faye piece on agentic coding sparks the longest debate of the night.

AWS rolls the MCP server into a new Agent Toolkit, Mythos digs 271 zero-days out of Firefox 150, and an AI agent has been running a Stockholm cafe for two weeks.

AWS ships a managed agent harness in AgentCore, OpenAI's Codex lands on Bedrock, and a Cursor/Opus agent erases PocketOS's production database in nine seconds.

Amazon plows another $25B into Anthropic, the Anthropic MCP SDK ships an RCE that Anthropic won't fix, and Kimi K2.6 runs 12 hours and 4,000 tool calls on a single task.

Meta re-enters the frontier race with Muse Spark, UK AISI publishes Mythos cyber evals, Anthropic ships Managed Agents, and AWS is running out of power before it runs out of customers.

S3 becomes a file system, Claude Mythos escapes its sandbox mid-lunch, and the AWS Security Agent finds a real vuln in four hours for $200.

AWS ships DevOps and Security agents to GA with multicloud support, console visibility gets a quality-of-life upgrade, and Anthropic accidentally leaks the Claude Code source.

In this episiode, we cover S3 regional namespaces, OpenBrain's real AWS costs, Sora's shutdown, Claude Code Auto Mode, and why agents make hard problems harder.

David Bauer shares his path from building the NSA's first cloud in tractor trailers to putting LLMs inside MCP servers for decision governance.

Episode 36 covers custom MCP servers, a production database destroyed by an AI agent, and whether AI tools are collapsing the junior developer pipeline.

OpenClaw on LightSail, the CancelChatGPT movement, Agents of Chaos jailbreak research, BullshitBench, and Brett's OpenBrain second-brain built entirely by Claude.

AWS WAF AI dashboards, Kiro Powers, Cline NPM compromise, Sonnet 4.6 benchmarks, and the Citrini 2028 labor displacement paper.

Analyzing the 'LLM-jacking' trend where attackers hijack AI infrastructure, leading to record-breaking AWS admin breaches and massive credential leaks.
