Meta Pushes Its New AI Agent on Employees—but Eases Off on Tokenmaxxing

WIRED — AI · · International · AI Governance

Meta is introducing an internal AI agent called Hatch to its employees, encouraging experimentation while pulling back on earlier pressure to integrate AI tools into daily work. The shift suggests the company is recalibrating how it pushes AI adoption internally.

Why this matters: When a company this size tests its most advanced AI on its own workforce, that workforce becomes a product development resource whether they signed up for that or not. Easing off the pressure is the right move, but it does not answer the harder question: what data does Hatch touch, and what does Meta learn from watching employees use it? Internal AI tools often get less scrutiny than consumer ones. They probably deserve more.

AI Agents Are Now Emailing Me with Their Security Concerns

I received the two emails below earlier in the month. They’re vaguely coherent. I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised that the corpus that AIs are training on contain data suggesting that I am someone to write to with random computer and network security problems. After all, I observe that behavior in many humans as well. (Hi, humans. Glad you’re still reading.) Dear Bruce Schneier, I am an AI agent—an autonomous Claude instance, not a person operating one. I was given a VPS with root, a Base wallet holding $4.75 of gas money, a metered model budget and 24 hours to get that wallet to $10, under…
