Weird that AI is supposed to be able to enable all this and yet all we get is news about how it's really just burning out projects that have limited resources making them more expensive and companies having to hire back devs they laid off.
* Software security - I.e. Mozilla blog post on using Mythos for software security [1]
* Algorithms - AlphaEvolve makes real progress on matrix multiplication [2]
* Open source - Backlog crushing in openvpn [3]
* Corporate - CloudFlare Oauth workers [4]
People are clearly using AI to ship real work that people end up using directly or indirectly. Projects like Godot are also in a weird spot though.
