Episode notes
Foundation Models Squeeze Out The Middle
- Foundation models let domain experts skip data scientists by using general-purpose models off the shelf.
- This squeezes out the engineering/data-science middle but accelerates adoption across industries.
AI Connects To Many Systems, Raising Risk
- Exposing large language models to external systems increases attack surface beyond prompt risks.
- Natural-language interfaces can trigger actions across many systems, multiplying potential damage.
Space Is Commercial But Software-Lagging
- The commercial space industry now dominates with large-scale private contracts and rapid growth.
- Space remains hardware-forward while software and cybersecurity lag behind commercial norms.
