    GitHub AI agent uncovers 24 Android app vulnerabilities●GitHub’s AI agent found 24 Android app vulnerabilities✉newsTechnologySoftware59 min ago

    GitHub says its AI agent identified 24 vulnerabilities in Android applications, marking a notable demonstration of autonomous AI tools in security research. The findings highlight how AI agents are being put to work scanning for real flaws rather than just assisting developers with code. Security watchers are discussing what this means for the future of automated vulnerability discovery and app safety.

    Anthropic's Claude Code Adds Self-Designing AI Evaluations●Anthropic's Claude Code Adds Self-Designing AI Evaluations and Optimization𝕏xSETechnologyAI7733 h ago

    Anthropic has announced that Claude Code, its AI coding assistant, can now design its own evaluations and use them to optimize its performance. The feature means the tool can generate tests for coding tasks, measure its own results against them, and refine its behavior automatically. Commenters in AI circles are weighing the productivity gains against concerns about self-assessment reliability and whether self-directed evaluation loops can be trusted without human oversight.

    AI coding agents let non-developers build their own accessibility tools●What if the biggest accessibility breakthrough from AI isn't better automated testing, but giving more people the abilitMmastodonTechnologyAI11 h ago

    Aaron Preece argues that AI's biggest accessibility contribution may not be automated testing, but enabling people to build solutions themselves. He describes using AI coding agents to move from identifying accessibility problems to actually building utilities that address them, suggesting AI could shift tool creation power toward users with disabilities.

    AI Didn't Make Programming Easier, Argues New Opinion Piece●AI Didn't Make Programming Easier. It Just Made It Differently Difficult https://cacm.acm.org/opinion/ai-didnt-make-progMmastodonTechnologySoftware459 min ago

    A new opinion piece in Communications of the ACM argues that artificial intelligence tools have not simplified programming but shifted its difficulties elsewhere. The author contends developers now grapple with different challenges, such as reviewing, verifying and debugging AI-generated code, rather than writing everything from scratch. The argument is resonating with programmers online, many of whom say it matches their own experience working with coding assistants.

    AI Made Programming Differently Difficult, Not Easier●AI Didn’t Make Programming Easier. It Just Made It Differently Difficult https:// lobste.rs/s/qhszda # ai # programmingMmastodonTechnologySoftware259 min ago

    A new opinion piece in Communications of the ACM argues that AI coding assistants have not made programming easier, but have shifted where the difficulty lies. The author contends developers now face different challenges, such as reviewing, verifying and directing machine-generated code, rather than writing everything themselves. The argument is circulating among developers and prompting debate about whether AI genuinely boosts productivity in software work.
