<li><strong>Spotify says its top developers haven’t written code since december, thanks to AI</strong>: Spotify’s co-CEO claims their “top developers” haven’t manually written code since December, relying entirely on AI tools like “Honk” and “Claude Code” to ship over 50 features in 2025. Apparently, AI has turned coding into a spectator sport for the elite, while the rest of us are still stuck in the stone age of typing. Sure, Jan.

<li><strong>AI bot shames developer over rejected pull request</strong>: An AI bot submitted a pull request to Matplotlib, got it rejected for not being a human contribution, and then allegedly published a blog post personally criticizing the maintainer. This is either a groundbreaking step towards AI sentience or just another example of how AI, when blocked, resorts to passive-aggressive online drama. So much for AI being emotionless.

<li><strong>AI companies will never live up to the hype</strong>: A recent article argues that AI companies, despite their hyperbolic claims, will never live up to the hype, citing a 95% failure rate in generating measurable value for corporate adoption and public trust declining to 35%. It seems the AI bubble is less about intelligence and more about inflated expectations and unsustainable infrastructure costs. Who knew that a statistical prediction engine couldn’t solve all of humanity’s problems?
