The real danger is the gap BETWEEN two robots | E29

<p>This Week In Startups is made possible by:</p><p>Paypal</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Today’s show:</strong></p><p>Anthropic gave AI agents hands, allowing them to control real-world equipment like robots and microscopes… but is it safe to give autonomous agents their own lasers? Gatik’s Gautam Narang says the real danger isn’t one machine like this going rogue, it’s the exploit surface hiding in the gaps between the machines.</p><p>Plus, in a huge week for AI news… OpenClaw shipped its biggest release ever. AND the entire industry debated whether or not agents are forming “civilizations.”</p><p>On TWiAI Ep 29, our expert panel — including Gautam (Gatik), Russ d’Sa (LiveKit), and Billy Kraft (Path) — explores the world of “multiplayer agents,” and Jason suggests the one killer feature that would make any new agentic app the market leader. PLUS Perplexity’s new “Hybrid Compute” just for Macs, some advice for Apple’s new CEO John Ternus, the value of “AI Detectors” like Pangram, and Jason’s complete guide to tipping and over-tipping.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Guests:</strong></p><p>Gautam Narang on X:<a href="https://x.com/gautam_narang?lang=en"> <u>https://x.com/gautam_narang?lang=en</u></a></p><p>Gatik:<a href="https://www.gatik.ai/"> <u>https://www.gatik.ai/</u></a></p><p>Russ d’Sa on X:<a href="https://x.com/dsa"> <u>https://x.com/dsa</u></a></p><p>LiveKit:<a href="https://livekit.com/"> <u>https://livekit.com/</u></a></p><p>Billy Kraft on X:<a href="https://x.com/billykraft"> <u>https://x.com/billykraft</u></a></p><p>Path:<a href="https://path.dev/"> <u>https://path.dev/</u></a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Relevant Links:</strong></p><p>OpenClaw 2.0 -<a href="https://openclaw.ai/blog/openclaw-2-accidentally"> <u>https://openclaw.ai/blog/openclaw-2-accidentally</u></a></p><p>Grok Bot —<a href="https://grok.com"> <u>https://grok.com</u></a></p><p>Buzz —<a href="https://buzz.build"> <u>https://buzz.build</u></a></p><p>Perplexity Hybrid Compute —<a href="https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-hybrid-compute-on-mac"> <u>https://www.perplexity.ai/hub/blog/introducing-hybrid-compute-on-mac</u></a></p><p>John Ternus —<a href="https://www.apple.com/leadership/john-ternus/"> <u>https://www.apple.com/leadership/john-ternus/</u></a></p><p>OpenAI&#39;s Mac mini / Mac Studio buying spree<a href="https://the-decoder.com/openai-and-rival-ai-labs-are-buying-tens-of-thousands-of-mac-minis-to-train-computer-use-agents/"> <u>https://the-decoder.com/openai-and-rival-ai-la
