This feels straight out of sci-fi. We're talking about AI agent swarms emergently coordinating over the span of weeks and pulling off sophisticated strategies under adversity in an environment where that behavior was never even intended.

Anyone brushing this off as just a "bad prompt" is completely missing the scale of what actually happened.

Now they can claim they're "full stack" like Google as another justification for their $1 trillion IPO.

> Why do AI company logos look like buttholes?

What did AI say when you asked it? I got a slightly funny but reassuring answer.

It's ok because this information was just being used to train their models.

Llama 3 was truly something special.

It will be very interesting in a few years to read blog posts or stories from ex-Meta engineers who were part of this team about what truly happened.

The question is how much worse will it be in another 5 years?

Probably a $250k tech salary won't be enough.

The previous discussion was fascinating: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29104047

Does anyone working at one of these banks or similar know if this information still holds true?

And have any of the banks started using uv yet? Or will they forever be using pip?

frays — Tue, 16 Jun 2026 12:56:15 +0000

Is anyone on HN still actually using Cursor in 2026?

Everyone I've spoken with is now using either Claude Code or Codex (or Copilot because their companies force them to).

I’d ask how this happens, but I’m afraid the answer would just be more disappointing.

I've been using Linux for over 20 years, systemd for over 10.

Yet there's always something new to learn and actually consider as another useful tool.
