As the UN warns traditional safeguards are ‘unravelling’, Donald Trump says he will encourage, not restrain, the AI race When the Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, sat down for an interview in the heart of Silicon Valley at the weekend he had known for two days that his was the first government known to have been attacked by a rogue AI agent.

Hello HN! I built Worktable as an open-source, file-based workspace for you and your agents to create docs, plans, and build small tools.

As a backstory, I run my Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw on a server at home and was consistently frustrated with the experience of trying to review/edit docs, share context between them, switch to other new agents, and more. In the last few months, it has become…

Hit the randomize button to get a good shape + colour combination, optionally tweak using the vector tool, save designs to local storage and export to image or video. What's the point?
