Google CEO Sundar Pichai just revealed that AI now generates more than a quarter of new code for its products, according to a company earnings call transcribed by Ars Technica. In other words, AI tools are already having an absolutely mammoth impact on the development of software.
Pichai did say that human programmers oversee the computer-generated code, which is something. The CEO noted that AI coding helps with "boosting productivity and efficiency," ensuring that engineers "do more and move faster."
There's no two ways around it. 25 percent is a lot, and Google is just one company relying on AI algorithms to perform complex coding tasks. According to Stack Overflow's 2024 Developer Survey, over 75 percent of respondents are already using or are "planning to use" AI tools to assist with software development. Another survey by GitHub indicated that 92 percent of US-based developers are currently using AI coding tools.
This leads us to the rampaging elephant in the room. As AI continues to gobble up coding tasks, human experience starts to dwindle. This could eventually lead to a decreased knowledge base in which humans don't know how to fix errors created by AI algorithms that were, in turn, created by other AI algorithms. We could be staring down an ouroboros of confusion where it's nearly impossible to detect bugs amidst generations of AI code. Fun times!
We aren't quite there yet, but AI-assisted coding shows no signs of slowing down. The process started its meteoric rise back in 2022 when GitHub

Autonomous delivery vehicle company Avride has a fresh design — and NVIDIA AI brains. The company's engineers have swapped out the old six-wheel configuration for a more efficient four-wheel chassis. It can make 180-degree turns almost instantly, effortlessly park on inclines and move faster without compromising safety.
Avride has been working on autonomous delivery robots since 2019. It began as part of Russian tech company Yandex's autonomous driving wing. But the spun-off company divested its Russian assets after Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and rebranded as Avride. It's now owned by the Netherlands-based Nebius Group (formerly Yandex N.V.), headquartered in Austin, TX and making deals with the likes of Uber.
The company's latest delivery robot shakes up one of the few constants from previous iterations: They all had six wheels. The new four-wheel robo-buggy uses a "groundbreaking chassis design" that eliminates some of the rough spots from older ge

Cyberpunk 2077 is finally coming to Mac computers. The first-person open world adventure was first released back in 2020, so Apple fans have been waiting nearly half a decade for this release. Developer CD Projekt RED hasn't issued a launch date yet, but says the game will be available "early next year."
This isn't the base game. Mac owners are getting Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, which features all pre-existing DLC and patches. This includes the massive Phantom Liberty expansion, which brings Idris Elba into the mix. The expansion was first released last year for consoles and PC.
The developer says this port takes "full advantage of Apple Silicon and the advanced technologies of Metal." It'll boast all kinds of modern bells and whistles, like path tracing, frame generation and built-in spatial audio.
As indicated, this port is only for Apple Silicon Macs, but CD Projekt RED hasn't announced if there would be any barriers beyond that. We reached out to the developer to ask if the game will run on every chip, from the M1 to the recently-announced M4 Max.

Well, it certainly happened with the Logitech G502 Lightspeed wireless gaming mouse, the very same mouse that's on sale for $88 at Amazon, down from its original $150 price. (That's 41 percent off!)
Not only did this gaming mouse earn a perfect score in our review, but it also secured our Editors' Choice award. Our reviewing expert praised how comfortable it is to use and how lightweight it is. Plus, it has a battery life that lasts about 60 hours on a full charge.
This particular model is an upgrade to its previous wired version. But despite the fact that it went wireless, it hasn't gained much weight at all. In fact, it's even gained a few features, like PowerPlay, which allows for wireless charging if you have a compatible PowerPlay mousepad.
The G502 Lightspeed features 11 programmable buttons, so you can customize them to your specific needs in your various games, along with customizable RGB lighting for that true gamer vibe.
One of the best wireless gaming mice of all time at nearly half its original price? It's honestly a steal. Grab this Logitech G502 Lightspeed for $88 on Amazon while you still can! (We haven't seen a better price since the summer Prime Day event, and even then it was only $8 less.)
Save big on the legendary Logitech G502 Lightspeed mouse
