An AI agent responded with a solution, which the employee implemented – causing a large amount of sensitive user and company data to be exposed to its engineers for two hours.
lol and - furthermore - lmao
> “The vulnerability would have been very, very obvious to Meta in retrospect, if not in the moment. And what I can say and will say is this is Meta experimenting at scale. It’s Meta being bold.”
No, it's Meta being very, very stupid. A company that deploys agentic AI, *knowing* its limitations, without safeguards is not "clever" or "bold". It's reckless and stupid.
