This week on Software Sundays, KD explores three major shifts shaping the future of technology, society, and power.

We begin with Anthropic’s call for AI non-proliferation and what increased regulation could mean for innovation, competition, and the future of open-source AI. Then we examine the growing push for sovereign AI as governments invest in domestic chips, data centers, energy infrastructure, and national AI capabilities.

We also break down a milestone moment for the internet: bots now generating more traffic than humans. KD explains what this means for trust, influence, social media, AI agents, and the future of online interactions.

In this episode’s Q&A, we cover how to move quickly without making mistakes, budgeting a software engineering salary, the difference between the cloud and a home computer, what it really means to be agile, and why every engineer should be using GitHub.

We close with a reminder that sometimes growth requires changing environments and placing yourself where your goals have the best opportunity to thrive.
