intended boundaries? Teleport’s “From Zero Trust to Agent Trust” white paper
details what needs to be in place to realize the promise of agentic designs.

24th June 2026

    In the last few months, I've started to see [job applications] that were
    clearly cowritten by an LLM, link to an LLM-generated portfolio site, which
    then links to LLM-generated GitHub projects, with purely LLM-generated
    commit messages. [...]

    My other reaction is that I don't know anything about these people.

    They haven't put themselves out there. They haven't said anything true.
    [...]

    The perfected, generated, prompted resume is generic and impersonal. It
    tells me nothing about this person, other than that they use particular
    tools.
