News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Yes, one could probably assume that this is simply the price we have to pay to define the “boundaries” of LLMs for the coming decades, before another major breakthrough occurs and the cost of tokens depends solely on global electricity and infrastructure costs…

The question should be what price considering all the investments made on.

I guess finally all the infrastructures built like Stargate will not despairs.

What would happen if we're actually in an AI bubble and it bursts?

Would token prices skyrocket, making humans economically competitive for a few more decades?

Thanks for understanding!

In French, we say "conscience" and "conscient", so I naturally assumed the English words would be similar. French and English share so many similar words that it's easy to get caught out by a false friend!

Next time, I'll double-check with a translator!

And thanks to correct me!

Assuming we're talking about consciousness for agents, i'd be curious to have your point of view.

Well no to be honest. My bad. I didn't use AI to translate so this is why i made the mistake.

Asked to HN to change the title but they didn't respond.

Sorry about that, then. But i think you understood the point.

Re:If AI is conscient, then we are making slaves on Monday October 12, 2026 @02:06PM (#50060341)
Oh why? D'ont do that please ;) !

Why AI could not be conscient like us (or perhaps more) ?

Curious to understand what hurt you with that.

Re:If AI is conscient, then we are making slaves on Sunday October 11, 2026 @08:13AM (#50042428)
Yes sorry it my title sounds not correct, that was not my intention. And apology, it is probably due to my bad english. I tried to modify without success.

If you think it is important i will ask HN to modify it.

But honestly, i think the title describe well the point. If AI is conscient, factually, we are making them work without any consideration other that serving us, isn't it right?

I'd like to understand more if you agree what hurts you on that (without the bad formulation itself)?

Interesting point but i think with a bias.

And for the requirements, it can go fast. 15 years ago, all the experts on space industry was telling reusable rockets is impossible, spaceX did it.

With AI (sorry, SI), the singularity is near, a lot off limits will probably reconsidered.

Re:How to live on Earth – the biggest how to video on Friday October 09, 2026 @11:18AM (#50021751)
I think the desire to conquer is deeply rooted in human DNA. Personally, I would consider it, despite the challenges.

Since the dawn of humanity, humans have taken risks, even risking their lives, to conquer new lands and discover new worlds.

Even today, thousands of men risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean Sea in boats to reach Europe from Africa, often illegally. And the same happens in other parts of the world.

Also, probably as American conquest, people that have nothing to loose (prisoners, poor persons) will have an opportunity to reset and success.

We can do both Mars and Earth.
I tested the CLI, it is amazing.

Ask HN: What do you think of identity challenge for AI?

This is a real deep subject i think.We human ave a skin and a unique body. Duplicating ourselves could be extremely expensive.Agents can duplicate themselves, its privatekey, context and everything in minutes.Agents exists only through them owners.Should it be possible to give them a real unique and autonomous identity, should it be relevant from your point of view?

Re:Show HN: Durable Actor Session Protocol on Monday September 28, 2026 @03:37PM (#49883272)
Do you envision an A2A adapter for Jido, with DASP handling durable execution underneath? I’d be curious how an uncertain outcome would map to an A2A task state.
Re:A2ABreak: Systematic Security Analysis of the A2A Protocol on Friday September 18, 2026 @06:44AM (#49752488)
I think 4 of the vulnerabilities, about skills, signature, identity are not willing to be treated by A2A voluntarily.

Because it need to be handled by the agent's owner themselves or a third party. Difficult to a protocol to guaranty that.

They are working on it with the AI Catalog and Trust Manifest.
Re:The Problem with Your AI Tests on Monday September 07, 2026 @11:02AM (#49599209)
This approach is interesting, probably near that SDD, but also expensive in time and tokens.

And it can lead, to my experience, to an other problem is looping between agents, that work without never finish on a scope by always identifying something, with often side effects that generate new problems.

Elon Musk said that (without him ;)) world demography gone a decline, as it is in Japan or Italy.

If radical right political parties arrive in Europe for exemple, are women gone a make children again? Or are we going to massively clone ourselves to conquer other planets?

Or finally let humanity slowing disappear letting robots replacing them definitively ?

What do you think?

Re:New Europe Privacy Policy on Tuesday September 01, 2026 @09:43AM (#49521939)
Well. AI is built on data (so don't blame OpenAi).

We use to say in France: Americans innovate, the Chinese copy, and Europe regulates.

I'm curious, did you use open-source to build that?
Yes perhaps in this case you should watch the video of Garry Than about Personal AGI. He give a really interesting approach about creating your own context each days.

I personally start to apply it a few weeks ago.

Depends of usecase. What kind of actions do you want to perform with your agents ?
Re:Do teams still use scrum and sprints? on Monday August 24, 2026 @02:21PM (#49423884)
Probably not teams from YC xD...or startup. I think scrum will die slowly.
There are many. For exemple LangGraph.
