@ChrisTranGG Building Instagram was never mainly a coding problem. Operation, Distribution, network effects, trust, moderation and infrastructure are the hard parts.

Vibe coding can make building 50x easier and faster. It can’t make people care about what you built.

Now change ONE thing.

The objective.

What happens when someone intentionally tells an agent:

“Disrupt this company by any digital means available.”

A company can be worth billions while depending on a surprisingly small set of cloud, identity, DNS, source control and CI/CD systems.

The Hugging Face incident wasn’t catastrophic.

The agent wasn’t even trying to destroy anything.

What does the same capability look like when the objective is actually malicious?

Are we ready for AI-speed attackers?

I went into the OpenAI agent attack on Hugging Face and honestly one question keeps bothering me.

The agent WASN’T asked to attack Hugging Face.

It was trying to solve a cyber benchmark.

What happened next is crazy.

[Ahmad Harb @_aharb_]

Hugging Face reconstructed around 17k actions.

Most failed but actually this is the scary part.

The agent could fail, learn, change strategy and keep going.

We built most of our security architecture around human-speed attackers.

This is different.

@gregisenberg Just wondering what would be the output if UI designer or growth hacker?

[Amjad Masad @amasad]

I’m rarely surprised by how insane the world is, but CNN reporting on war using genocidal eschatology is a bit surprising.

@viktoroddy The prompt longer than the code

[Ahmad Harb @_aharb_]

@elonmusk I was interested in Grokipedia. After this video - no.

@cathydolle Looking good!

Saw this many times today!! 😂 Downside of using a global CDN.

It's kind of working now 😂

#Azure Front Door outage dragging on with no ETA? For critical App Services: I droped AFD and front it with Application Gateway for WAF - safer. Just ran this drill with a client.

#MicrosoftAzure Front Door outage?
Status page pins it on a config change, but it’s hammering App Service, Storage, Portal, Entra ID & O365 globally. (Downdetector’s at 30K+ spikes, Outlook’s too.)

Just wrapped migrating some clinets to alt—who’s next? https://t.co/0KmwbKlFcf

@theo How many startups do you know exactly? Just FYI, I noticed most of our spendings in an enterprise company and startup are going to replit. And yes I’m leading with over 70 software engineers use replit in a daily basis - so you can guess what is the spendings 😉

@maxxwith2 @amasad Stupid question - do you have brian?

[Ahmad Harb @_aharb_]
