    HACKS!!! Instagram hacked

    In this episode of AI Snap Thot, Michael Rollins and Thanos dig into one of the wildest AI stories of the week: an Instagram prompt-injection exploit that reportedly let attackers take over accounts by abusing old API paths. From there, the conversation expands into agent security, why tool access and authorization matter more than ever, and why “just letting the model do it” is still a dangerous idea. They also break down the debate around vibe coding, what “scaling” actually means in real engineering, and whether new models like Fable 5 really change the game for autonomous software development. If you care about AI agents, software architecture, security, and the future of coding, this one’s for you.
