On a16z's podcast, Box CEO Aaron Levie, Steven Sinofsky, and Martin Casado discuss "We Must Pace the Frontier." Sinofsky argues natural language was never an efficient interface and AI's probabilistic outputs make probabilistic programming the coolest corner of CS. The trio contends today's AI regulation debate precedes any defined risks, and tireless agents probing systems at scale may force a rethink of permissions, authentication, and the security stack.
