An AI session watched a security thread every 15 minutes through an incident day

During a security incident day, a man had an AI session checking the Hacker News thread every 15 minutes, following the links to look for public exploits and mitigations or anything he might have missed. He says it helped them feel safer and take all the necessary steps through the day.

How it works

  1. He sets an AI session to check the thread every 15 minutes
  2. It follows the links looking for public exploits and mitigations
  3. Findings feed the steps the team takes through the day

Why it’s worth knowing

Through a whole incident day, an agent read every new link in a fast moving thread so the humans only had to act.
