Walk into any developer conference and you’ll see a predictable parade of laptop stickers: the cloud-native darlings, the hip new database, the obligatory mascot or two. It’s the developer variation of virtue signalling or calling out one’s tribe. What you won’t see—at least not often—are the logos of the companies that quietly push more code

As AI-assisted coding becomes more common, a new pattern is emerging: multi-agent workflows. A multi-agent workflow refers to using various AI agents in parallel for specific software development life cycle (SDLC) tasks, whether for planning, scaffolding, writing code, testing, debugging, log analysis, or deployment. “A generalist ‘coding agent’ is not enough,” says Harry Wang, chief

As organizations double down on developer experience, one of the most meaningful, and technical, investments they can make is in an internal developer platform (IDP). Not the mythical one-size-fits-all “platform in a box,” but a fully composable, tailored set of tools, services, and workflows that reduces friction between development and operations. For years, platform engineering

Generative AI brain fade?  The impact on our brains of using technology has long been a source of contention. Does satnav capability stop us reading maps? Not having to remember phone numbers makes us dumber in some way?  This week one of our smart (and human) Computerworld contributors argued that smart people use AI to

As the AI spending bubble swells, so too are the numbers of people being drawn into delusional spirals by overly-confident chatbots. Joining their ranks is Allan Brooks, a father and business owner from Toronto. Over 21 days, ChatGPT led Brooks down a dark rabbit hole, convincing him he had discovered a new “mathematical framework” with

Billionaires have, for a few years now, been insisting that artificial intelligence is clever enough to take huge swaths of jobs while curing disease and solving the energy crisis. As such, we presume that the loudest among them will be first in line to test out a super-safe submersible created by AI to avoid the sort

There’s no denying that modern, app-filtered dating can be a nightmare. Apps like Tinder and Hinge are cynically monetized, poorly moderated, and run by shady algorithms. A lot of profiles are fake, conversations don’t progress past terrible pick-up lines, and half the people are on there just to kill time. Worst of all, it replaces

A man trying to cut out salt from his diet learned the hard way that ChatGPT isn’t to be trusted with medical advice after the OpenAI chatbot’s toxic suggestions landed him in the hospital. As described in a new paper published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, a 60-year-old man ended up coming down

Users are finding that Google’s Gemini AI keeps having disturbing psychological episodes, melting down in despondent self-loathing reminiscent of Marvin the Paranoid Android from Douglas Adams’ “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.” As Business Insider reports, users have encountered the odd behavior for months. “The core of the problem has been my repeated failure to

Though it’s still pretty niche, AI-generated adult content is already becoming a huge problem for some men — and they’re imploring others to avoid it at all costs. In an interview with Wired, a 26-year-old man referred to only by his first name, Kyle, said he began to go down the rabbit hole of AI
