Incorporating SRE frameworks into cybersecurity
* how to insert frameworks into cybersecurity that would align with the rest of the org? eg: observability, to automation, then predictive analytics
* security forked away from joint reliability leadership. SRE is about stability and operational risk, security is about defense and supply chain risk in the SDLC.
* make room for each department to contribute their skills and expertise in the delivery process. 

Are you involved in building AI systems as a company product? If so, any lessons learned?
* guardrails to protect the platform, observability, or monitoring to avoid giving confidential data to public LLMs and control costs

AI SRE - are you actually using it? How well is it doing?
* new SRE book will have two new sections, one of which will have AI. Site Reliability Engineering, 2nd Edition - Chapter 4. AI for SRE: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/site-reliability-engineering/9798341607675/ch04.html
* Would AI be automating manual toil that are actually bugs, eg: restart crashing k8s pod?
* differentiate between temporary mitigation and permanent solution
* two major market approaches: AI replacing human SREs vs AI augmenting human SREs. Similarly, is the AI contributing to architecture up front, or handling existing operations in whatever shape it is in
* LLM can be good for automating routing diagnostics or observability, but weaker at sense making.
