The day in intelligence. Each weekday, [YOU] on AI gathers the artificial-intelligence stories that actually mattered and tells them with depth, context, and a duty of care — the sunrise and the cost. A ~15-minute briefing for people who want to understand the AI age, not just keep up with it. Hosted by Edo Segal.
On Tuesday, October 20, 2026, AI dominated every front simultaneously: a lone hacker breached 100+ companies with a $5,000 AI agent arsenal, DHS formally banned DeepSeek from all federal civilian systems, OpenAI raced to close a $30 billion round before Anthropic's mid-November IPO, Anthropic's own workforce data revealed junior tech hiring had plummeted from 27% to 9% as agents logged six times more hours than humans, and a cascade of new agent platforms—from Notion to Motive to Microsoft's risk controls—showed both the breathtaking promise and the structural cost of the agentic era.
