These Uber alums are building an army of AI agents for the workforce
Minh Pham and JJ Ford have a knack for riding the waves of new tech. The duo joined Uber in its early days, helping to spearhead mobile development. When CEO Travis Kalanick was ousted in 2017, Pham and Ford followed him out. Kalanick soon founded CloudKitchens—and Ford was his first call. Ford's first call? Pham. After five years at CloudKitchens, they were ready for the next frontier. Over the years, they'd built a battle-tested engineering team that successfully tackled both the mobile surge at Uber and the infrastructure demands at CloudKitchens. They also had a hunch: While many startups were focused on building single-use AI agents, Pham and Ford saw the future in orchestrating many agents to work together. In 2023, they founded the California-based company Invisible. 'How do you build a system that allows one person to manage thousands of agents?' Ford asks, noting that he and Pham used their enterprise experience to develop a solution that's different from any they've seen in the market previously.

Parking rangers foiled alleged murder plot: prosecutors
A close associate of a slain drug kingpin avoided being killed in a police station hit job because parking inspectors spotted an illegally parked getaway car, prosecutors claim. Andre Kallita was almost gunned down outside the Day Street police station in Sydney's CBD in an alleged December 2023 plot by associates of Bilal Haouchar's Lebanon-based crime syndicate. Bilal's younger brother Omar Haouchar, 32, has been charged over the attempted murder plot. He's been accused of using the handle 'Invisible' on the encrypted messaging app Threema to organise the plot with several others. In early 2023, a dispute arose between the Haouchar crime network and the Comanchero outlaw motorcycle gang over a drug debt, documents filed with the NSW Supreme Court reveal. Kallita was allegedly a member of the Comancheros and was a close associate of cocaine kingpin Alen Moridian, who himself was gunned down in a Bondi Junction car park in June 2023, the documents say. Various alleged members of the Kallita murder plot have been accused of participating in the Moridian murder. Prosecutors claim Omar Haouchar was part of a conspiracy to murder Kallita, and there was enough circumstantial evidence to prove he used the Threema handle 'Invisible'. Defence lawyers have rejected the allegations at previous bail hearings, saying there was no link between their client and the Threema username. A chat titled 'Urgent' discussed staking out the police station, having a car with two "hitters" waiting nearby and possible use of a drone. Invisible eventually called off the plan, police documents reveal. "Boys I'm gona (sic) shut this group down as know one (sic) is interested clearly," he wrote on December 9. The plot was then taken up by others - without Omar Haouchar's involvement - including two men going by the usernames Stone Cold and NightWing, court documents reveal. Under the alleged plan, a burner phone was sourced and three stolen getaway cars were parked across Sydney - all of which would have been destroyed by fire afterwards. "Do not panic or rush anything or it will turn into a mess," NightWing wrote the day before the alleged attempted murder. "Make sure target is down and dead." One of the "spotters" in the stake-out car was offered $80,000 while the actual shooter could have earned up to $800,000, police allege. While everyone was in place outside Day Street police station, the plan was called off after parking rangers spotted one of the getaway cars parked illegally nearby. "There's people around hit car and ticket guy," NightWing wrote. "Bros said wrap it up. Come again Wednesday. Safety first" A second murder attempt was planned, however the shooter was arrested by police before that could occur. Omar Haouchar was arrested over the alleged plot in January. The 32-year-old has not yet entered a plea to the single charge of conspiracy to murder. At a bail hearing in June, he proposed putting up a cemetery as security to support his release into the community. A decision over whether he will be released has not yet been made. Kallita is believed to be overseas, court documents reveal. The Haouchar syndicate has been tied to $1.5 billion in cryptocurrency transactions and various firearm, drug, tobacco and money-laundering offences, police said previously. Bilal Haouchar is in a Lebanese prison serving an eight-year sentence, according to court documents.
