'I can't stop': 80% of developers find AI coding more addictive than helpful

Programmers find AI tools addictive, but exhausting. Coding speed can be lost due to delays in fixing AI-written code. AI programming tools can lead to programmer workaholism and burnout. Yes, yes, we get it.


AI watermarks are a good idea. They won't stop AI slop

PCWorld

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. AI watermarks are a good idea. Provisions in the EU AI Act for watermarking AI-generated text will likely struggle to keep AI slop purveyors in check. Starting soon, all text that's either generated or "processed" by Claude will bear invisible AI watermarks that can be detected with the right tools, a move made in response to new European Union regulations regarding the disclosure of AI-generated content. Anthropic's wide-ranging pledge to watermark Claude-generated text (including code generated by Claude Code) goes above and beyond the mandates in the EU AI Act, which took effect earlier this month.


75% of developers I surveyed prefer Claude Code - here's why they choose it over Codex

Here's what they say matters in daily AI coding workflows. Claude Code dominates, but Codex has crucial advantages. Whichever AI you choose, human review remains essential. I explained how I use both tools and provided some suggestions for exploring them.

Claude's Record-a-Skill cut my research from hours to 30 minutes - but the magic has limits

Claude turns narrated screen recordings into reusable skills. Last month, Anthropic announced a new Claude Cowork feature: the ability to narrate a screen recording and turn it into a Claude skill . I tried it and, well, as they say, All magic comes with a price. Let's set the stage by defining what we're after here. A skill is a very detailed canned prompt that can be run like a program from within Claude (and many other AIs).


The one command you should never let Claude Code or Codex run

PCWorld

When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. AI coding agents can move fast--but one careless rm -rf command can erase files, projects, or worse. Here's why you should block it before your next vibe-coding session. It's all too easy to get into the zone with AI coding tools like Claude Code, Codex, or Google's Antigravity. You point them at your project, give them instructions, and the code starts flowing, just like magic.


The new AI-enhanced Siri is quietly revolutionary. Here's why

PCWorld

PCWorld reports that Apple's new AI-enhanced Siri, now in public beta, takes a revolutionary business-like approach focused on practical tasks rather than companion-style interaction. The updated Siri efficiently organizes emails, retrieves specific information, and brainstorms ideas without attempting to bond with users like ChatGPT or Claude. This shift toward utility-focused AI assistance will reach wider audiences with the fall release of iOS 27 and macOS 27. After a couple years of false starts, the new AI-enhanced Siri has finally arrived on Apple devices via public beta. Its most revolutionary feature may be what it doesn't do - namely, it doesn't try to be your buddy. I've been testing the new Siri (which goes into wide release this fall once iOS 27, macOS 27, and the Apple's other OS 27's land) on my iPhone for the past few days, and I'm struck by how business-like it is.


Claude Science is Anthropic's newest flagship product

MIT Technology Review

At an event for pharmaceutical executives, biotech founders, and researchers on Tuesday, Anthropic announced Claude Science, a major new product intended to support scientific research in the same way that Claude Code supports software engineering. Like Claude Code, Claude Science can autonomously carry out meaningful work when given concise, high-level instructions, and it has access to tools that make it particularly useful for research in computational biology and drug development. Along with launching and previewing Claude Science, which is now available to all paid Claude subscribers, Anthropic also announced that it will be using the product to pursue some of its own research into drugs for rare, neglected diseases. This is not Anthropic's first foray into AI for science. In October, the company released plug-ins that help Claude make use of scientific software and databases under the heading "Claude for Life Sciences." But unlike this earlier release, Claude Science is a full-featured, standalone product. Anthropic's decision to elevate Claude Science to the same rank as Claude Code and Claude Cowork indicates that the company is taking AI's scientific applications very seriously--or at least wants to give the impression that it is.


Try One of macOS 27's Best Features Right Now

WIRED

Try One of macOS 27's Best Features Right Now Apple's fall macOS release will let you build Shortcuts by typing what you want to happen. But Claude Code and Codex users don't have to wait. Buried deep inside everything announced at WWDC this year was something I, an Apple Shortcuts enthusiast, can't wait to try: the ability to make Apple Shortcuts using generative artificial intelligence. In macOS 27, you'll be able to just type what you want a shortcut to do, and the app will build it. Anyone who builds shortcuts regularly knows the process of doing so can be tedious, even if the end results save you a lot of time.


America Is Headed Toward the Infinite Workweek

The Atlantic - Technology

The future of AI and jobs will be so much weirder than you think. This article was featured in the One Story to Read Today newsletter. Last year, Steve Yegge started "suddenly getting pounded by nap attacks in the middle of the day." Without fail, Yegge--a programmer and tech blogger--would "hit a wall, fall over, and sleep for 90 minutes," he told me. Like many developers, Yegge no longer writes code by hand; instead, he manages a legion of bots to do that for him.
