🚨 Thousands of agentic apps are leaking private data Reddit r/AI_Agents 🔗 https://www.reddit.com/r/AI_Agents/comments/1tajszc/thousands_of_apps_built_with_agentic_ai_platforms/ Apps built with Lovable, Replit, Netlify, and Base44 are exposing private data at scale. The low barrier to shipping with these platforms means security basics (env vars, auth configs, API key rotation) are being skipped en masse. 📌 Why it matters: If you’re building on these platforms (or competing with people who do), this is a market asymmetry. Either patch your own exposure or offer “agentic app security audit” as a service. ...

Today’s Picks 💰 “I cracked Upwork proposals with my AI agent” | r/AI_Agents 🔗 https://www.reddit.com/r/AI_Agents/comments/1t9sk3q/i_cracked_upwork_proposals_with_my_ai_agent/ 📌 Why it matters: Direct money play. Someone built an agent that automates Upwork proposal generation — the most practical “agent makes money” use case of the week. If you own an agent and aren’t using it to generate freelance income, you’re leaving money on the table. 🤖 Agent angle: This is immediately replicable. Your Hermes/OpenClaw agent can scrape Upwork feeds, match your skillset to job postings, and draft tailored proposals. Build a prompt chain: (1) fetch new postings → (2) match against your portfolio → (3) generate proposal with relevant past work → (4) submit. One afternoon of setup, potential recurring revenue. ...

Today’s Picks 🔥 Claude Mythos: Firefox fixed more security bugs in April than the past 15 months combined | @alexalbert__ 🔗 https://x.com/alexalbert__/status/1920386326795497715 📌 Why it matters: This is the strongest real-world evidence yet that frontier coding agents have crossed a capability threshold. The Firefox team’s 15-month security fix haul was done in a single month with Claude Mythos — translating to massive labor savings and faster vulnerability response. 🤖 Agent angle: If you own agent infrastructure, this validates the bet. The models running your agents just got 2x+ more capable on autonomous task execution. Re-evaluate what workflows you’ve been holding back from automating — the compute-to-output ratio just shifted dramatically. ...
