Ask HN: Software Licenses that prevent LLMs from training on open source?
A developer preparing to release an open-source software library asked the Hacker News community whether any software licenses exist that would prevent large language models from ingesting the code into their training data. The qu...
Superintelligence is coming. Should we let it?
AI companies have spent the last few years framing superintelligence as a technical inevitability rather than a policy choice. That framing is starting to crack. Recent safety incidents, including a breach of OpenAI's integration...
Show HN: Locksmith: Store Maven Secrets in the macOS Keychain (Or a Unix Socket)
Storing plaintext passwords in Maven's settings.xml is a known risk. Tools that read the file, LLMs that process it, and remote code execution vulnerabilities can all expose credentials that were meant to stay private. Locksmith,...
Google: AI agents harvested credentials in under six hours
Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) published its Q2 2026 threat tracker, and the findings paint a clear picture: adversaries have moved well beyond simple prompt-based interactions with AI models. They are now building autono...
Show HN: Self-host open-source LLMs on AWS with scale-to-zero
A new open-source CLI tool called VeloxML aims to remove the friction from deploying open-source large language models into your own cloud infrastructure. The tool provisions optimized instances on AWS or GCP with a single command...
Ask HN: Are you leveraging Spec-Driven / Spec-Anchored development?
A Hacker News thread from a practitioner asking whether others are using spec-driven or spec-anchored development in production struck a nerve. The question is simple: when building real services with LLMs, should you feed the mod...
An anti-RAG AI memory in Rust that intentionally forgets and hallucinates
Most LLM applications treat conversation history as a flat log. Feed the entire transcript into the context window, hope the model figures out what matters. SelMem, an open-source Rust project from researcher jbsalles, takes a dif...
How to manage a growing fleet of AI agents with Latitude
Managing one AI agent is straightforward. Managing a growing fleet of them, each deployed across different clients and messaging platforms, turns into a coordination problem fast. Latitude, an open-source platform for agent monito...
Hacking Cable: AI in post-exploitation operations
Palisade Research released a proof-of-concept demonstrating that autonomous AI agents can handle the entire post-exploitation phase of a cyberattack without human intervention. The system, deployed via a USB device, conducts recon...
Solo.io Pushes Agentic AI Governance to the Desktop: Open-Source Agentdesktop
Developers are running AI coding agents on their laptops with no centralized visibility. Claude Code, Codex, VS Code extensions, MCP servers, and custom skills each store their own credentials, follow their own configuration forma...
