New ask Hacker News story: Ask HN: Speculate About a Hypothetical Cyber Exploit That Would Leverage AI

Ask HN: Speculate About a Hypothetical Cyber Exploit That Would Leverage AI 2 by burnerToBetOut | 1 comments on Hacker News. It seems kinda inevitable. Some modern-day equivalent of the latter-day Kevin Mitnick is bound to be out there somewhere. Wouldn't you think? I was trying to imagine… • What sort of AI-related exploit is more likely to be one of the first? • What might be the nature of a cyberattack the black hat vibe coders might be vibing up for us? Of course, I hope I'm wrong. I hope that all the MCP servers or whatever and the other AI network infrastructure is as secure as we're told they are.

New ask Hacker News story: Tell HN: I found the article that is the cause of the YC/HN Swartz blackout

Tell HN: I found the article that is the cause of the YC/HN Swartz blackout 8 by ypsilon | 2 comments on Hacker News.

Since this isn’t a traditionally blacked-out topic, I dig around a bit and I believe I found the cause. I archived it here. It’s an opinionated essay for sure: https://ift.tt/ogIP8lm I’m not saying I agree or disagree, but I can’t get on board with the suppression of discussion.

Ask HN: Moved to SF to build a startup. What next? 2 by kvaranasi_ | 1 comments on Hacker News. Hey guys, I've come all the way to SF to build a startup. But honestly doesn't feel like much has changed. Is there anything I need to do in order to leverage SF better? Or does being in SF doesn't really matter that much?
