Experts predict that 90% of code will be AI-generated within the next year. While this will further accelerate the software development process, it raises concerns about code quality, primarily due to the increasing prevalence of AI-driven code reviews. We now have numerous AI tools available that automate code review workflows.

Gonzalez Rogers ruled Apple was in “willful violation” of the court’s injunction on anticompetitive pricing and commissions, which would have seemingly allowed Fortnite to return to the App Store. But Apple sat on the submission for a week instead, neither approving nor denying the game’s publication, while its lawyers crafted a response.

Apple continues to disappoint.

Does Musk need authorization to make changes?

When asked about the “low code, no code” trend, Gosling expresses skepticism rooted in historical context: “People have been saying low code, no code for decades. That was the pitch for COBOL.” He noted that such approaches typically excel in narrow domains but struggle with complexity outside their specific focus areas.

“My biggest problem with AI and ML is just the names.” He suggests that “advanced statistical methods” would be a more accurate descriptor than terms that invite misleading analogies to human reasoning. In his view, these technologies represent “extremely complex hammers and screwdrivers”: tools that humans use rather than autonomous systems that threaten jobs.

..and my personal fav:

“You get started on a vibe coding session, and it can actually be pretty cool, but as soon as your project gets even slightly complicated, they pretty much always blow their brains out.”

Indicating that a rogue employee was to blame, the post added new measures would be brought in to ensure that xAI employees “can’t modify the prompt without review”. It said the code review process for prompt changes had been “circumvented” in the incident. A new 24/7 monitoring team is also being brought in to deal with answers not caught by automated systems, xAI said.

So now Musk is a Rogue Employee?
