Can AI Do Your Cyber Job? Post Your Job Req and Find Out with Marcus J. Carey

Last episode, Ron and Marcus made predictions. This episode, they brought the receipts.

A journalist built an app with vibe coding and got hacked on live television. 

A social network built entirely by AI (not a single line of human code!) exposed 1.5 million authentication tokens and private messages between agents. 

And 88% of organizations have already had an AI security incident, while barely 14% of deployed agents ever saw a security review. 

The warnings from last episode aged fast. Marcus J. Carey is back to talk about what that actually means for the people building right now, not the people theorizing about it. Ron and Marcus are in the code themselves, and this conversation is what that experience actually looks like: OpenClaw running loose on your machine, agents racking up API bills, and why guidance, not prompts, not tools, is the real skill that separates builders who thrive from builders who ship disasters.
