Will AI developers be on the bench of future Nuremberg-like trials?

The Nazis basically said ‘i was just following orders’ - i.e. ‘chain of authority defense’. Will ai devs follow the same pattern of defense once/if an ai swarm does something serious that harms a lot of people beyond a reasonable degree? ‘I was just coding a reward function’, ‘i was just perfecting an algorithm’, ‘i was just trying to get the work done so i could get home’ - i’m curious if new laws will have to be enacted and retroactively applied to ai devs, similarly to what happened with the ...

Ask HN: Which class of business model is most resilient to build in the AI era?

If you were to start a company today, what type of business model would you choose? Most new businesses have some form of AI in them, and this makes some sense during a gold rush, but it’s also a crapshoot. And the rate of change is so insanely fast and unpredictable that it’s becoming difficult to read the market with any confidence beyond three months. Even if you hit traction, there’s no guarantee your moat won’t evaporate. And it’s cheap for everyone to build now. Personally I think the smar...

Tell HN: Man, AI is killing my brain

I was among the last to resist, but then I was given a subtle hint that if I won't "improve my productivity and be on par with my colleagues" my work will be at risk. So I started to use Claude Code about a year ago. At first, I'd give it small tasks, review every line it wrote, opened a proper PR, review again, ask questions, ask it to fix stuff I don't like. But I saw that my colleagues were shipping more, and so I started to ease on my reviews. At first, I would push small features straight t...

Show HN: OpenWand – A mission to remove chat interface from working with AI

Hi everyone, I'm working on OpenWand, an "LLM chat interface" that is optimized for AI co-work. Its function is to truly integrate AI into your workflow, so no more switching windows, no more copying context, less prompt typing. You can focus on working, not prompting. You can think of it as a free Chatgpt (the interface/frontend) alternative for your everyday work. I would be very grateful for any help, testing, feedback and/or bug reports. What's shown here is just my current implementation. B...

Ask HN: Should we disclose AI use in our work?

Tim O'Reilly just published an essay arguing that AI is a medium, like photography or painting. His key line: "I judge the output, not the means used to produce it." He describes his own process: a 300-word prompt becomes a 660-word draft, which he rewrites into a 3,000-word essay. Maybe 40-50 words are Claude's. He's proud of how he uses AI. He says we're still in the "filmed stage plays" era of AI writing, and the masters will emerge. This resonates with me. I'm an engineer, not a writer. Over...
