Up to 8 AI models running in the cloud weighing in on ambiguous business issues? Sounds affordable

Since it has become obvious that AI is great at finding security flaws, has anyone pointed it at some formally proven software? I'm thinking seL4. In theory it should find nothing, right? Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49090089 Points: 4 # Comments: 1

Tour of the AI kill chain maps the risks of ubiquitous surveillance and flawed algorithms

Employees of OpenAI and Anthropic, as well as Google, Meta, Thinking Machines, Microsoft, Mistral, and other leading AI labs, have written a statement to the US government supporting a potential slowdown of sorts for frontier AI development - or at least a speed-up of global coordinated governance efforts. "Al could help create a dramatically better […]

31 tech UK. Have people transitioned into a different career successfully and found more fulfilment? Looking to leave tech as senior software at FAANG. AI world has made me realise I don’t care about any of it at all and it’s making me feel like I’m wasting my days away. Curious on career transitions at my age.

It's earnings season, and investors got an unpleasant surprise from Google: an increase on its spending estimate, to as much as $205 billion - from the last quarter's projection of up to $190 billion. Even the lower end of Google's new projected range - $195 billion - is much more than the company had previously […]

Instacart is posing the provocative question: What if most of the work your engineers do today should, in fact, be done by machines? At VB Transform 2026 , CTO Anirban Kundu argued that dev teams continue to waste their time on draining, repetitive, high-volume work; this should be absorbed by AI agents so that humans can focus on problems that require judgment, intent, and exception handling. In fact, in 97% of cases, Instacart’s builders don’t even read code anymore. “In the past, the tactical

I anticipate a raft of answers along the lines of "AI + robots will automate everything eventually", but am more interested in areas where you think there is an inherent or structural bias against near-term AI or LLM-ification. More for my own intellectual curiosity than that I'm personally looking for business niches. For reference, I am seeing this in my own work (govauctions.app). AI can search and summarize the digital surfaces (ie government auction sites), but every large-ticket item (a ve

Secret to their success: Using the right model for the right security job

Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview found weaknesses in key cryptographic algorithms, including a better attack on HAWK, a post-quantum signature scheme that human experts had reviewed for more than two years. The model found it in just 60 hours at an API cost of about $100,000. The findings don't affect systems in use today, but they show how AI could challenge core assumptions behind internet security, Anthropic says. The article Anthropic says its Mythos model found vulnerabilities in cryptogra

According to NASA, two of the three reaction wheels that control the spacecraft's alignment have failed, and there are problems with one of the spacecraft's thruster systems.

Anthropic says Claude Mythos Preview helped derive an end-to-end key-recovery attack against HAWK-256 and a 200- to 800-fold speedup for an attack on seven-round AES-128. The HAWK attack exploits a previously unused symmetry in the lattice behind the signature scheme. Anthropic's released implementation gives an expected end-to-end runtime of about three hours and 42 minutes on a 96-core server

Dear HN, For the past months, maybe a year, I have lost any interest in technology, software and hardware. When I was a teenager, I had very big passion to software engineering, and have seen technology as something good, a way to improve peoples lives. With the arrival of AI, everything changed. Don't get me wrong, I like that I can tell Claude what to do, while I can do something else, but I can't keep closing my eyes onto the fact that I'm basically pushing myself out of the job market. Sure,

Software engineers at General Motors' (GM's) autonomous driving division spend only 15% of their time writing code, according to Rashed Haq, GM's VP of autonomous vehicles, in a recent onstage interview at VB Transform 2026. GM is now using AI agents to accelerate much of the other 85%—including analyzing vehicle data, triaging problems, running experiments and testing potential fixes. The result, Haq said, is roughly three times as many merged pull requests across GM’s autonomous vehicle engine

Runway spent weeks trying to engineer its way out of a stubborn bug: AI-generated avatars would drift off-center during real-time video generation. The fix wasn't a back-end patch — it was a new front-end feature that just worked around the problem. That's the kind of lesson Ryan Phillips, head of enterprise product at Runway ML, walked through at VB Transform 2026 , arguing that even companies not building foundation models themselves can learn from how Runway builds, evaluates, and ships them.
