/ About this event

😱 Three true stories of AI and agentic nightmares, hosted by Heavybit, SVB and Tailscale during SF Tech Week.

πŸ‘» Every team has one story that haunts them. On October 6, three infrastructure leaders take the stage for 12 minutes each, one scary scenario apiece.

Matt Lenhard (Founder of Vectoral) on the unintended consequences that lead to inference theft and token fraud. J. Paul Reed (Senior Applied Resilience Engineer at NVIDIA) on AI agents, org dynamics and international state actors, told from incident command. Dr. Jennifer Prendki (Founder, Dyssonance.ai; former Head of AI Data, Google DeepMind) unpacks the horrors of frontier labs building on frontier infrastructure, where failures proliferate across organizations, products, and entire categories.

🫣 Doors open at 6:30 with food and drinks, and Q&A and open networking follow the talks. No pitches, no roadmap slides. Just chilling tales from the stack trace.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek, a week of events hosted by the top founders, funds, and companies to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
