The tyranny of software is almost over. Since the first computer programmers wrote the first computer programs, we, the users of that software, have been forced to live in the worlds those programs create. The features are the features. The design is the design. Want something else, something better? Learn to code, I guess.
Until now, the people making a given piece of software - mostly well-paid professional developers - have rarely been the same as the ones using it: lawyers, doctors, churches, schools, me. (Where they overlap most directly is with developer tools, which are often the best and most passionately designed software you'll …

Threads is testing a feature that lets users summon Meta AI into posts and replies for real-time context, though many users say they never asked for it.
A new paper out of arXiv this week describes an AI system that builds, improves, and deploys its own specialist agents. Here is what that actually means for engineers and technical teams.
If you haven’t heard of Arm, you haven’t been paying attention to how ubiquitous the chipmaker has become. Arm’s processor designs power Macs, iPhones, and every other major smartphone line. Queries made through ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude pass through an Arm-based chip at some point.
For more than 40 years, Arm’s focus was on chip design. Major device and AI chip makers then licensed those designs and turned them into hardware.
But the company’s focus is changing: Arm is now making hardware using its own AGI CPU, which OpenAI and Meta will use and which will allow the chipmaker itself to compete with the likes of Apple, Intel, Nvidia, Amazon and Google.
Arm’s envisions its new Performix software suite using “recipes” and AI insights to help engineers identify suspect code and CPU hotspots.
Alex Spinelli, who leads Arm’s software initiatives as senior vice president for AI and developer platforms, is as AI-native an engineer as you’ll find; he played a central role in the TensorFlow st

Revolut briefly showed Bitcoin trading near zero for some users while every major exchange and index still had BTC around $79,000. For a short window on Friday, some Revolut users opened the app and saw Bitcoin (BTC) trading for cents.…
The system’s power is comparable to others – but it still has frightening implications for the future of hacking
Last month, Anthropic made a remarkable announcement about its new model, Claude Mythos Preview: it was so good at finding security vulnerabilities in software that the company would not release it to the general public. Instead, it would only be available to a select group of companies to scan and fix their own software.
The announcement requires context – but it contained an essential truth.
