Developers say AI coding tools work—and that’s precisely what worries them

Developers say AI coding tools work—and that’s precisely what worries them

Software developers have spent the past two years watching AI coding tools evolve from advanced autocomplete into something that can, in some cases, build entire applications from a text prompt. Tools like Anthropic’s Claude Code and OpenAI’s Codex can now work on software projects for hours at a time, writing code, running tests, and, with…

Generative AI is eating culture. See how close it’s getting to disrupting dance

Generative AI is eating culture. See how close it’s getting to disrupting dance

Alisha Jucevic for CalMatters   Dancers say their craft can’t be duplicated by AI. Our tests show they’re right — for now. Bird singing and dancing, as practiced by the Cahuilla Band of Indians, tell a story about the creation of the world, and how the Cahuilla migrated to their current home in Southern California….
