Agentic AI-based services are the new Shadow IT. Change my mind.

@briankrebs I have to admit.... earlier this week I spent like 5 hours trying to get this Ubiquiti camera system to work. I tried everything I could think of.

finally, I just gave ssh access to claude code, set it on no-permission-necessary and told it to keep trying to get those cameras online until they work. then went out and had a nice dinner with my wife, a couple glasses of wine.

Came back to shut the thing off.... all set worked perfectly. Still running.

so. If you folks don't think you can be replaced (at least partially) with AI, think again.

@coldfish @briankrebs you gave one of these spaghetti code generators access to externally facing hardware and told it to "get this online"? Cause you should probably go through that entire system now, you have absolutely no idea what it opened and allowed access to. Like, if someone told me they'd done that to one of my systems, I'd be reflashing the whole thing and loading the configs from backup.

@rootfake @briankrebs LOL. I'm glad it was just a coffee-shop video system. Hackers can feel free to watch me drink espresso and swear at my clients' requests.
