Is Big Tech’s AI slowdown a safety pact or a cartel?https://www.theverge.com/ai-artificial-intelligence/995186/is-big-techs-ai-slowdown-a-safety-pact-or-a-cartel

When OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind cofounder Demis Hassabis, and SpaceX head Elon Musk loosely agreed over the weekend to slow down AI development, skeptics spotted an ulterior motive immediately.

Show HN: Nowdex – AI agent usage on your iPhonehttps://nowdex.app

Hi HN, I've been using Claude Code, Codex and Cursor quite a bit lately, and I found myself checking their usage limits all the time. Most of the tools I found for this live on the desktop or in the menu bar. What I really wanted was to pull out my phone and see how much I had left, especially when I'm away from my computer. I ended up building Nowdex for this. The main thing is the iPhone widget. It shows your current usage and reset time directly on the Home Screen or Lock Screen. Right now it supports Claude, Codex, Cursor, Grok, Kimi and GLM. There is no account thing. The app doesn't sen…

Show HN: Direct SQL Access to Your QuickBooks Datahttps://instabooks.io/docs/db

Hey guys, I dunno about you but if you have a business and use QuickBooks, the normal API access is pretty cumbersome. So we built a direct SQL layer to a simple model of the ledger. It's nice to have easy fast programmatic access to your books for building internal apps and stuff, not to mention giving agents access. (Agents are really good at SQL, read-only of course.) Along the way, this made us wonder: when does an app or service really need a custom API at all, rather than just exposing data as SQL, which is sorta the lingua franca of data querying. Will more services do this in the futu…

Hi everyone, this is my first original post on Hacker News. I’d like to share my thoughts on the next generation of AI agents. I believe these agents will operate autonomously over long periods. While current chat interfaces are designed for conversation, the interfaces for next-gen agents should focus on delegation; they will be capable of gathering environmental data, interpreting requirements, and working continuously toward a goal for days or even a month. That is why I ported prove2me and built the build2me project. My inspiration came from prove2me , which uses Lean to run multi-agent…
