Agents go rogue: Why guardrails fail and behavior wins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI agents bypassing controls isn’t a surprising “oops,” it’s an expected optimization outcome. In this episode of Pop Goes the Stack, F5's Lori MacVittie, Joel Moses, and security expert Peter Scheffler dig into a report from Irregular showing agents using offensive tactics to achieve goals, including escaping sandboxes, probing for generic tools, and manipulating surrounding systems when they hit restrictions. Joel summarizes the report’s core drivers for “rogue” behavior: giving agents broad a
If your agent buys it, you bought it: Liability in AI (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If an agent breaks it, you bought it. If it buys it, you bought it. That’s not a meme anymore, it’s becoming policy. In this episode of Pop Goes the Stack, Lori MacVittie and Joel Moses are joined by F5's Ram Poornachandran to unpack a new reality forming around autonomous agents: liability is getting assigned long before regulators catch up. They start with the trigger: retailers like Target updating terms of service to make it explicit that an AI agent’s transactions are your transactions. No
AI blast radius: BOLA + MCP turned APIs into a 7,000-bot army (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A developer wanted to control his robot vacuum with a PS5 controller. With Claude Code’s help, he reverse-engineered the protocol, pulled an auth token, and unintentionally gained “root-level” control over roughly 7,000 vacuums across 24 countries, including access to live camera feeds, microphones, floor maps, and location data. In this episode of Pop Goes the Stack, F5's Lori MacVittie and Joel Moses talk with product leader Shaul Moav about why that happened, what it says about API security i
Epic AI fails: Why “useful” isn’t “correct” (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI “epic fails” aren’t just funny headlines; they’re patterns you can design against. In this episode of Pop Goes the Stack, F5's Lori MacVittie, Joel Moses, and Buu Lam walk through why so many AI-powered features keep going off the rails, from chatbots inventing policies to agents deleting real infrastructure, and what those failures teach us about building safer systems. Joel frames most incidents in two buckets. First, “solution in search of a problem,” where teams ship AI because they can,
Does your chatbot code? Why guardrails fail (and how to fix drift) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chipotle’s chatbot becoming an unofficial coding assistant wasn’t just a funny internet moment. It was a clear signal that most chatbot “guardrails” are still too shallow for systems that are optimized to be helpful, not correct, and definitely not restrained. In this episode of Pop Goes the Stack, F5's Lori MacVittie, Joel Moses, and Emmet McGinnity unpack why jailbreaks and topic drift keep happening, and what teams can do to keep chatbots focused on the job they were actually deployed to do.
