Meta pulled a controversial feature from its new Muse Image model after widespread criticism. The feature let users generate AI images of other people by @-mentioning their public Instagram accounts. No consent needed, just a username. Meta admits "this feature missed the mark" and shut it down days after announcing it. The article Meta kills Muse Image feature that let anyone generate AI photos of Instagram users without consent appeared first on The Decoder .

Hi HN, We are building Sanbox, a platform for running AI agents in isolated and resumable sandboxes. We use the OpenCode SDK as the harness, support reusable templates, and have a CLI that works with Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, CI, or your terminal. Each sandbox has MicroVM isolation, a persistent filesystem, and live trail of run events. Can also self-host if required for security/compliance. It's on the roadmap to add network ACL, secrets managements, LLM cost tracking & observability. We are

I'm a experienced/senior developer which is frequently using ai, guiding coding agents, etc. I wonder, how does my job look like in a few years? Which skills might be the best ones to have? Currently, having business knowledge, development experience helps greatly with guiding coding agents, creating MVPs/PoCs in "no time", improving code, etc. But what if coding agents/ai would overtake this job?

Anthropic analyzed 1.2 million Claude Cowork sessions from more than 600,000 organizations. About half of all usage goes toward business processes and text creation, what Anthropic calls "the work around the work." That means tasks like compiling status reports, building onboarding checklists, or putting together slide decks. Software development barely shows up in Cowork because developers stick with Claude Code for that. The article Claude Cowork's biggest use case is the mundane office work n

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman now says he's "pretty sure" AI has created more jobs than it's eliminated. That's a sharp turn from his earlier warnings about entire professions disappearing. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is walking back similar claims, too. But studies so far back neither the old doomsday predictions nor optimism.

Hi HN! This is my first ever open-source project. It's nothing fancy, but it scratches an itch: claude --resume only works if you remember which directory the session was in. dejaview is a TUI that reads the transcripts in ~/.claude/projects/, groups sessions by project, and lets you jump back into any of them with Enter. Read-only, local-only, no config. Built with Textual. Try it: uvx dejaview Feedback is very welcome! Comments URL: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48879501 Points: 1 # Com

An economics professor at Brown University suspects most of his 86 students used AI to cheat on a take-home exam that averaged 96 percent. When he made the final an in-person test, 18 students dropped the course, nine didn't show up, and the average fell to 48.6 percent. Two large studies from China and UC Berkeley back up his case: where students lean on AI for homework, their proctored exam scores tank. The article Grades dropped from 96 to 48 percent when a Brown professor made students take

The AgenticSTS project replaces the ever-growing chat log of AI agents with five separate memory layers. Tested on the card game Slay the Spire 2, the prompt stays at around 5,000 tokens instead of ballooning past 500,000. The agent wins 6 out of 10 games, while competing agents don't win any.
