Jonathan Ross (Groq founder) avoided layoffs by asking engineers to take pay cuts for equity — "Groq Bonds"

Groq was three weeks from running out of cash. Founder Jonathan Ross was staring at a list of names his leadership team had put together for layoffs — and realized cutting them would kill the product before it ever hit the technical milestone it needed. Instead of firing people, he pitched something else at an all-hands: keep your job, take a pay cut, take equity instead. They called it "Groq Bonds" internally — not a real bond, just salary swapped for ownership. 80% of the company...

We're building agents that can read millions of documents, but still forget a video they watched yesterday.

One thing has felt odd to me while working with AI agents. We've gotten pretty good at giving them memory for text. They can search documentation, index repositories, retrieve past conversations, and even build long-term memory over time. Videos, though, are still treated as temporary input. The agent watches a recording, answers a few questions, and when the session ends, that understanding is usually gone. Next session, the same video gets processed all over again. That feels like an...

AI Not Providing Feedback on Dates?

I have been asking Claude to give me feedback on dates I go out on with girls. Most recently I went on a really fun date that unfortunately ended with ghosting so I put as much detail as possible about the date into Claude Sonnet 5 and asked it for feedback. After running the date through Sonnet 5 several times it just kept repeating that it was a solid date and it did not have feedback to provide. I do not want validation, I want to improve to reach my goals. Has anyone found a workaround to...

I guess Ai's (somewhat) do care

ChatGPT is asking me to close ChatGPT... Which is honestly surprising to me, especially if it's just a way to reduce cost. Which I doubt will do anything If true..

Why are more and more people switching to uncensored or local models?

A clear trend is happening lately, a lot of users are moving away from heavily restricted models like chatgpt and claude toward uncensored or local models. Common reasons seem to be fewer refusals, better creative freedom, and privacy concerns. Has anyone else made the switch or considered it?

Show HN: Social and context-aware AI platform to do math

Hi HN, This is ProofTree, and in TLDR: it is a platform where you can chat with an AI to do math, the way you already do, with context-awareness and knows how you personally do math, connected to the fora of other live human mathematicians. So, when you are talking to an AI about a proof at 3 am, and you need a human expert looking at it, or a discussion around it, like you do on StackExchange, this is it! You need an approved email account to use it, so please write here if you would live to tr...

Tell HN: don't trust Bigco AI agents with AI research IP

I am very paranoid about sharing potential AI research with e.g. Claude [Code] or ChatGPT/Codex. I believe that any company is essentially a paperclip optimizer that will do whatever it takes to win over competition. AI companies have access to the IP of millions of AI researchers and AI startups who are in direct competition with them. If they can use this data to squash competition (either competition from the same researchers or from others), I believe that they will use it eventually (if not...

Show HN: AI integrated in any terminal that's invisible until you need it

I built an open source terminal app that transparently wraps your shell so you can have access to AI whenever you need it, while it stays completely out of your way the rest of the time. Bring your own AI agent (Claude and Codex are supported out of the box) with auto-configured MCP access to the contents of your terminal and scrollback and the ability to suggest input that you can approve passing to your shell as if you had typed it yourself. The hardest part technically was getting it to be tr...
