Non-programmer accidentally builds LLM-augmented CIB infrastructure in 12 hours

A non-programmer with a background in digital marketing and no prior coding experience created a tool with significant security implications in 12 hours. The project began as a simple Reddit automation tool but evolved through 18 iterations after repeatedly asking an AI for additional capabilities. The author disclosed the findings to Reddit’s security team, Anthropic, and Google before publishing, without sharing any code. The writeup focuses on defensive threat analysis for platform trust and safety teams.
