What exactly is an AI agent, and how will agents change the way we work?

In this episode, a16z general partners Erik Torenberg and Martin Casado sit down with Aaron Levie (CEO, Box) and Steven Sinofsky (a16z board partner; former Microsoft exec) to unpack one of the hottest debates in AI right now.

They cover:
Competing definitions of an “agent,” from background tasks to autonomous interns
Why today’s agents look less like a single AGI and more like networks of specialized sub-agents
The technical challenges of long-running, self-improving systems
How agent-driven workflows could reshape coding, productivity, and enterprise software
What history — from the early PC era to the rise of the internet — tells us about platform shifts like this one

The conversation moves from deep technical questions to big-picture implications for founders, enterprises, and the future of work.

Matt Wolfe (https://x.com/mreflow) is joined by Mustafa Suleyman (https://x.com/mustafasuleyman), legendary AI innovator, co-founder of DeepMind, former founder of Inflection AI, and now CEO of Microsoft AI, where he’s leading the massive Copilot transformation.
This episode unpacks the myths around AI’s “training wall,” whether hallucinations are actually a feature instead of a bug, the dawn of the agentic era—where AIs don’t just chat, but plan and act for you—and the shifting landscape for software builders as anyone can ship products in minutes. Mustafa also shares firsthand stories and practical advice for leveraging today’s AI—from offloading tasks to agents THIS WEEK, to why moats aren’t about headcount or credentials in the new era.

Her timing is impeccable: she says Donald Trump is moving the United States closer to autocracy. In this week's episode she discusses all the ways Trump is undermining democratic norms, and explains why his attempts to stop the Ukraine war are coming up short.

The race to dominate artificial intelligence has become a scramble for talent, with tech companies offering pay packages of $250 million and poaching their competitors’ best employees.


Mike Isaac, who covers the tech sector for The Times, explains why all the hype is raising fears that A.I. could become the next big bubble.


Guest: Mike Isaac (https://www.nytimes.com/by/mike-isaac) , a New York Times reporter based in the San Francisco Bay Area, covering tech companies and Silicon Valley.


Background reading: 

• To navigate the recruitment frenzy (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/31/te...) , many A.I. researchers have turned to unofficial agents to strategize.
• Life for workers at Silicon Valley’s biggest tech companies has changed as the behemoth firms have aged into large bureaucracies (https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/te...) .

ICE now has the biggest budget of any law enforcement agency in America.

“ICE and Customs and Border Protection have long been the most rogue, kind of renegade and certainly pro-Trump police agencies in the federal government,” explained Radley Balko, a journalist who’s covered policing for decades. “What I think we are seeing right now is Trump is attempting to build his own paramilitary force. They want people whose first, ultimate loyalty in this job is going to be to the president.”

Balko is the author of “Rise of the Warrior Cop: The Militarization of America’s Police Forces.” And he’s been tracking the changes at ICE and the Trump administration’s escalating law-and-order tactics on his excellent newsletter, The Watch.

Trump's decision to create "specialised units" of National Guardsmen to carry out policing and public order tasks is dangerous, unlawful and the basis for countries moving towards civil war warns Malcolm Nance, former naval officer and national security expert.

Rachel Maddow looks at the big picture of high profile national security firings and the lowering of standards for entry to the FBI as part of an overall "deprofessionalizing" of the U.S. military and law enforcement, which suggests that Trump is intending to use those forces in a way that is different from what they've been trained for.

Tech companies are pumping hundreds of billions of dollars on infrastructure to ramp up artificial intelligence. Some projections show the spending may be fueling nearly half of this year’s estimated GDP growth. Economics correspondent Paul Solman looks at how AI is already impacting the economy, and whether a new risky bubble could be forming simultaneously.

Ella Al-Shamahi grew up as a Muslim creationist, part of a ‘tribe’ that believes that humankind was created whole by a higher power. At university, she enrolled in courses that studied evolution, specifically to prove her professors wrong - but the plan backfired when she became fascinated by evolutionary biology and came to the conclusion that Darwin was, in fact, right all along.

Now an accomplished paleoanthropologist, she explores the complex journey of human evolution and the origins of Homo sapiens. In this episode of Ways to Change the World, Ella joins Krishnan Guru-Murthy to discuss her remarkable personal transformation from creationism to science. She also explains why she believes humans haven’t fully evolved to meet the demands of the modern world, and shares her unwavering faith in humanity’s resilience and potential.

 We Left the USA for South Africa — Our Dream Home Here Would Cost $500,000 in America

Meet Asad El Malik, a native of New Orleans who made the bold decision to leave the United States and start a new life in Johannesburg, South Africa. After years of traveling the world — from Paris and Morocco to Mexico and the Caribbean — it was South Africa that truly felt like home.
In this documentary-style video, Assad invites us into his Johannesburg home and shares his journey: the moment he knew America was no longer enough, why South Africa gave him peace and belonging, and how life in Joburg compares to the fast-paced grind of the U.S. From reflections on the Black American experience to the deep connections he’s found in South Africa, his story is both powerful and inspiring.
If you’ve ever wondered why more African Americans are relocating to South Africa, what life in Johannesburg is really like, or how the diaspora is building new roots on the continent — this is a story you won’t want to miss.

Tom's Favorite Things List: https://amzn.to/41Ftt7e

In today’s Deepdive, Tom pulls back the curtain on some of the most urgent issues facing America—and what we can do about them. With government trust at historic lows, the middle class hollowed out, and debt spiraling out of control, Tom explains why these aren’t just isolated problems, but warning signs that echo the same patterns seen in societies right before they collapse.

Tom dives deep into the anatomy of societal breakdown, from historical collapses in Rome, the USSR, and Argentina, to the cultural and economic pressures building in America today. He explains how elite overproduction, populism, and the erosion of trust in institutions fuel a cycle that puts the very fabric of a nation at risk.

But it’s not all doom and gloom—Tom also lays out a pragmatic five-part playbook for how you can protect yourself, your family, and your future, even if society at large ignores the warning signs. If you want to understand where we are on the collapse timeline, and more importantly, what practical steps you can take to weather any storm, you won’t want to miss this episode. So grab your notebook—and maybe a cup of coffee—and get ready for a thoughtful, urgent, and actionable deep dive.

00:00:00 Intro
00:02:45 Part 1: The Anatomy of a Collapse
00:09:58 Part 2: How Do You Stop a Country From Bleeding to Death?
00:16:47 Part 3: Countries Always Collapse From Within
00:28:11 Part 4: Everyone Eventually Gets Mugged by Reality
00:36:07 Part 5: The Playbook - AKA How to Win in Wild Times

On Times Radio, former Labour adviser Matthew Torbitt, and pollster from More in Common Luke Tryl join John Pienaar to discuss the Pentagon's announce that Donald Trump is deploying more National Guard troops to Chicago, and the asylum protests being organised by a banned Tommy Robinson supporter in Norwich.
