Today Instagram had this massive exploit where hackers were just stealing rare handles left and right. Hundreds of accounts gone. People losing handles they’ve owned since 2010, some worth hundreds of thousands. I own a few rare ones so I was actually stressed watching this happen in real time, which I haven’t been in years. Obama White House account got hit. These aren’t some random new accounts, these are verified, locked down accounts and they still got compromised. The thing is the exploit is so simple it’s almost funny. Attacker goes to Forgot Password, says their account is hacked, turns on a VPN to match the target’s location (which now you can find on the about section of the page). Instagram’s AI support flow asks them to verify with a selfie. They grab a photo from the target’s profile, run it through an AI video generator to make an animation of the person’s face moving around, upload that to Meta’s AI as proof. And Meta’s AI just accepts it because it can’t tell the difference between a real selfie and an AI-generated video of someone’s face . Once verified they change the email to theirs. Password reset link goes to their email. They own it now. 2FA gets bypassed somehow in the process but honestly I don’t know exactly how, just that it did. Point is even locked down accounts went down. Then you try to recover your account and you’re talking to a chatbot that has zero ability to help. You can’t escalate to a human. You’re just stuck. Your asset is gone and there’s no one to call. The whole thing just highlighted how stupid it is to automate account security without any human in the loop. One AI fooling another AI while there’s literally no person anywhere to catch it. Meta took hours to even acknowledge it while accounts were getting stolen every minute. Now thankfully it’s patched but I don’t think it will be the last one. Stay safe!

AI agents turn every employee into a security risk. Introducing Agent Handler for Employees: secure AI access for every employee. We’ll give you $10K if you get sensitive info from @JeanelleAgent.

This is fun - how about you send all your data to get data back? The intern’s guilty expression haha. Finally agentic infrastructure for - governance - permissioning - tool access - connectivity - auditability - enterprise security - framework agnostic We're all past the time of just building new agents. It’s now about making agents usable, secure, and scalable. Plus nice touch with the 10k campaign. Anyone trying that with Jeanelle's agent?

Superintelligence will be built on Self Improvement. Today @hexoai, we’re excited to release ‘SIA’ - an open-source Self-Improving AI, to achieve any goal through recursive self improvement. While trying to solve a problem, SIA doesn't just improve it's abilities by updating it's harness, it updates it's own weights as well.

I had a chance to look at this before the release. My favorite part is that this might be resembling a human's growth. Always learning. Always improving. For now my only question is about the autoresearch comparison to Karpathy's work. Not fully sure if it's statistically significant. I'd be curious if SIA can take in other frameworks or workflows to beat its own benchmarks even further (as opposed to competing with other models or layers). Taking a look further especially since it's open- source.
