News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Does anyone else have trouble telling how much of this news (along with the 'AI escaping and hacking' stories) is genuine, vs how much is just AI firms overstating their capabilities due to strong commercial incentives?
Love the idea!
The solution is regulations to turn of recommendation systems by default in the apps.

They are also more intuitive to understand when you are able to actually see how the model...

Show HN: I built Deep Research for stocks

https://app.deepvalue.tech/

Hey there HN,I'm a data scientist and amateur investor. I've been using OpenAI's Deep Research to get quick overviews of investment candidates, and I saw an opportunity for a version specialized for stocks.So in the last month I built an MVP with a simple UI: pick a stock (or multiple!), click "research," and in ~5 minutes it produces a report. Here's the demo:...
