We Can Just Measure Things

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-01 22:15:25

We Can Just Measure Things This week I spent time with friends to letting agents go wild and see what we could build in 24 hours. I took some notes for myself to reflect on that experience. I won't bore you with another vibecoding post, but you can read Peter's post about how that went. As fun as it was, it also was frustrating in other ways and in entire predictable ways. It became a meme about how much I hated working with Xcode for this project. This got me thinking quite a bit more that th

Companies That Replaced Humans With AI Are Realizing Their Mistake

futurism.com Unknown 2026-03-05 08:10:39

According to tech billionaire and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, 2025 was supposed to be the year "when AI agents will work." Despite widespread hype, so-called "AI agents" — a software product that's supposed to complete human-level tasks autonomously — have yet to live up to their name. As of April, even the best AI agent could only finish 24 percent of the jobs assigned to it. Still, that didn't stop business executives from swarming to the software like flies to roadside carrion, gutting entire dep

Revisiting Minsky's Society of Mind in 2025

A Teenager’s Frustration, a Researcher’s Revelation (Note: this is a deeply nerdy / technical post, with most applicability to folks building AI systems, and of little relevance to most users of AI.) In the late 90s, as a tech-obsessed teenager, I picked up Marvin Minsky’s 1986 book The Society of Mind expecting profound answers about intelligence. It was exciting: Minsky made AI seem so tractable, with beautiful essays arguing that the mind is composed of countless simple “agents” – little pr

Building Effective AI Agents

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-09 11:50:05

Over the past year, we've worked with dozens of teams building large language model (LLM) agents across industries. Consistently, the most successful implementations weren't using complex frameworks or specialized libraries. Instead, they were building with simple, composable patterns. In this post, we share what we’ve learned from working with our customers and building agents ourselves, and give practical advice for developers on building effective agents. What are agents?

The Download: power in Puerto Rico, and the pitfalls of AI agents

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2026-03-10 12:10:00

On the southeastern coast of Puerto Rico lies the country’s only coal-fired power station, flanked by a mountain of toxic ash. The plant, owned by the utility giant AES, has long plagued this part of Puerto Rico with air and water pollution. Before the coal plant opened Guayama had on average just over 103 cancer cases per year. In 2003, the year after the plant opened, the number of cancer cases in the municipality surged by 50%, to 167. In 2022, the most recent year with available data, cas

When AIs bargain, a less advanced agent could cost you

technologyreview.com Caiwei Chen 2026-03-10 18:00:00

This study is part of a growing body of research warning about the risks of deploying AI agents in real-world financial decision-making. Earlier this month, a group of researchers from multiple universities argued that LLM agents should be evaluated primarily on the basis of their risk profiles, not just their peak performance. Current benchmarks, they say, emphasize accuracy and return-based metrics, which measure how well an agent can perform at its best but overlook how safely it can fail. Th

Salesforce study finds LLM agents flunk CRM and confidentiality tests

A new benchmark developed by academics shows that LLM-based AI agents perform below par on standard CRM tests and fail to understand the need for customer confidentiality. A team led by Kung-Hsiang Huang, a Salesforce AI researcher, showed that using a new benchmark relying on synthetic data, LLM agents achieve around a 58 percent success rate on tasks that can be completed in a single step without needing follow-up actions or more information. Using the benchmark tool CRMArena-Pro, the team a

Design Patterns for Securing LLM Agents Against Prompt Injections

Design Patterns for Securing LLM Agents against Prompt Injections This new paper by 11 authors from organizations including IBM, Invariant Labs, ETH Zurich, Google and Microsoft is an excellent addition to the literature on prompt injection and LLM security. In this work, we describe a number of design patterns for LLM agents that significantly mitigate the risk of prompt injections. These design patterns constrain the actions of agents to explicitly prevent them from solving arbitrary tasks.

In recent months, a new class of agents has arrived on the scene: ones built using large language models. Any action that can be captured by text—from playing a video game using written commands to running a social media account—is potentially within the purview of this type of system. LLM agents don’t have much of a track record yet, but to hear CEOs tell it, they will transform the economy—and soon. Despite that, like chatbot LLMs, agents can be chaotic and unpredictable.

The flash crash is probably the most well-known example of the dangers raised by agents—automated systems that have the power to take actions in the real world, without human oversight. That power is the source of their value; the agents that supercharged the flash crash, for example, could trade far faster than any human. But it’s also why they can cause so much mischief. “The great paradox of agents is that the very thing that makes them useful—that they’re able to accomplish a range of tasks—
