🚨 HAPPENING LATER TODAY AT 12PM EST! Your AI agent did something important. Now someone asks: “Prove it.” What do you show them? That’s the question we’re tackling today in “Prove What Your Agent Did: Two Companies, One Receipt, Verified on Your Machine.” Instead of simply showing logs, we’ll look at how agent evidence can be independently checked. 🔐 See the TRACE Registry in action 💻 Watch a receipt get verified live on a machine 🔎 See what the evidence proves — and what it deliberately does not 🤝 Explore how two companies can verify evidence without simply relying on each other’s systems And we’ve got a great group leading the conversation: 🎤 Imran Siddique — Chief Product Officer, OPAQUE Systems 🎤 Steven Mih — Founder & CEO, Action State Group 🎤 Nick DiZazzo — Software Engineer, Tetrate 🎤 Mark Hinkle — CEO, Peripety Labs & Co-Founder of All Things AI If you work with AI agents, security, infrastructure, or governance, this is a chance to see the verification happen for yourself, not just hear about it. 👉 Register now and join us live! cstu.io/3f4051

🚨 1 DAY TO GO — and this is one you’ll want to see live! We talk a lot about AI agents, but there’s a harder question that comes after deployment: How do you prove what an agent actually did to someone who doesn’t have to trust you? “Here are our logs” may not be enough when the other side has no reason to accept those logs as proof. That’s what tomorrow’s webinar is about. 🔐 The TRACE Registry creates a public, append-only record of agent evidence with signed checkpoints and an offline verifier. 🤝 Action State’s public witness lets a log send a checkpoint and receive a receipt that can be independently verified — without calling either company. 💻 And tomorrow, we’re not just explaining the idea. We’re going to verify it live! You’ll see the receipt verified from published bytes using a public key and open-source code, with no network calls. We’ll also show the two fields the receipt deliberately leaves false. And you’ll hear directly from the people building and working on this: 🎤 Imran Siddique - Chief Product Officer, OPAQUE Systems 🎤 Steven Mih - Founder & CEO, Action State Group 🎤 And me, Mark Hinkle - CEO, Peripety Labs & Co-Founder, All Things AI If you care about AI agents, governance, trust, or being able to prove what happened after an agent takes action, this is a conversation worth joining. 📅 Tomorrow — September 22 at 12pm EST 👉 Register now and join us live. Bring your questions. Sign up here: cstu.io/07335a

AI agents are becoming more autonomous. But how do you prove what they actually did? That’s the question behind next week’s webinar with me, Imran Siddique, and Steven Mih. The TRACE Registry creates a public record of agent evidence, while Action State lets you turn a log into a checkpoint and independently verify the resulting receipt. The goal isn’t another dashboard telling you everything worked — it’s creating evidence that someone outside your organization can check for themselves. On September 22 at 12 PM ET, we’ll run that verification live and show exactly what the receipt proves — and what it deliberately does not prove.

Ex-Anthropic researcher, Jacob Coxon, told Anderson Cooper the labs secretly agree AI could kill us all by 2030. His exact words: "We do not yet have a plan." Whistleblower or brand-building? Watch the interview and tell me what you think.

Today, we remember September 11 and the lives lost, the families affected, and the people who responded that day. More than 20 years later, technology has changed dramatically, with AI now playing a growing role in emergency response, public safety, and how we process information. It’s a good reminder of how far technology has come — while some moments in history should never be forgotten. 🕊️

What if you could stop paying for a tool that almost does what you need? Mark Hinkle is running a hands-on workshop at Echo in Durham on September 11, and the goal is simple: build the thing you actually need. Maybe it’s a website. A client intake form. A pricing calculator. An internal tracker. An automation. Or maybe it’s the spreadsheet you’ve been fighting with for months. Instead of paying $20–$200/month for software that only gets you 70% of the way there, I’ll work alongside a small group and show you how to build your own custom tool — no coding required and no ongoing subscription. This isn’t a presentation. You’ll bring the problem, your laptop, and ideally the tool or spreadsheet you’re currently using. We’ll work on it together, and you’ll leave with something functional that you actually own. 📅 Friday, September 11 ⏰ 9:00 AM–12:00 PM EST 📍 Echo, 404 Hunt Street, Durham 💰 $45 for echo members / $75 for non-members 🎟️ Only 15 spots! Own your software. Don’t rent it. Register here: cstu.io/50f59a

4 DAYS TO GO! 🚨👀🚀 What if you could teach AI exactly how you work? Most people are still giving AI instructions one conversation at a time. Your tone. Your rules. Your preferred format. Your process. Then they do it all over again tomorrow. AI skills change that. A skill is a reusable playbook that tells AI how to approach a task — so you can write it once and reuse it across your workflows. Join us for Build Skills — Teach Your AI Agents How You Work and learn how to create your first skill, then take it further by chaining skills into complete workflows. 📅 Tuesday, September 8 ⏰ 12:00 PM ET 🎟️ FREE online webinar 👉 Save your spot: cstu.io/b96142 #AI #AIAgents #AIForBusiness #Automation #AITools #Productivity

This week's AI Advantage: one set of keys for all your AI. Every chatbot you run wants its own OAuth handshake into email, chat, files, and the CRM — and every handshake is a separate permission trail someone has to remember. The edition walks through Composio Connect, Composio's universal MCP server, which gives Grok, Claude, ChatGPT, and Cursor one shared endpoint: authenticate each app once, then grant and revoke everything from a single dashboard. Included: the ten-minute setup (Grok accepts any public MCP server as a custom connector) and a copy-paste audit prompt that makes each chatbot list what it can reach, flag write and send access, and recommend what to revoke before it starts its first job. Same theme all week: trust is earned in production, not granted in the demo. theaienterprise.io/p/one-set…

The EU AI Act's transparency rules have been in force since August 2. The fix for most companies isn't a program — it's a page. This week's AI Advantage: a one-page AI disclosure policy covering chatbot identification, synthetic media labels, and a named editorial owner for AI-assisted text. Copy it, fill in four brackets, attach it to your agency contracts. Disclosure is never the wrong default. theaienterprise.io/p/one-pag…

The EU AI Act's Article 50 transparency obligations took effect August 2, 2026 — three weeks ago — while the headlines covered the high-risk delay to 2027. If your chatbot doesn't say it's AI, your synthetic media isn't labeled, or nobody can name who editorially reviews your AI-drafted content, you have work to do. This week's AI Lesson is the 30-minute audit: inventory, chatbot check, media check, editorial documentation, vendor email. Penalties run to €15M or 3% of global turnover. Thirty minutes now beats that conversation later. cstu.io/1d3045

China is sending robots into one of the most dangerous jobs in the power industry. Instead of shutting down a line, workers can now remotely operate specialized robots to perform maintenance while the electricity keeps flowing. These machines work on live 10-kilovolt distribution lines, handling tasks like stripping insulation, installing components, tightening bolts, and making precise connections. And this isn't just a lab experiment. The technology has been deployed across 26 provincial and municipal power companies in China. In one recent operation in Gansu, a remotely controlled robot worked on a live line at nearly 3,000 meters above sea level, completing a series of precise tasks without interrupting power to customers. The bigger story isn't just that a robot can manipulate a power line. It's that robots are starting to take humans out of the most dangerous parts of the job — while keeping the infrastructure running. AI and robotics aren't only coming for office work. They're climbing the poles. #Robotics #AI #Automation #China #FutureOfWork #Technology #ArtificialIntelligence
