Issue 241: Chonky Kolibris, no more Iron Men and not everyone can code!

25-26/11/2026: WeAreDevelopers Conference India

14-16/07/2027: WeAreDevelopers World Congress Europe

Hello fellow developer, a lot happened this week in the world of AI, but due to some personal issues I am wondering what happened to the whole "AI for good" movement we had in the past? Where are the advancements in cancer treatment? Where are more sustainable technology solutions? Why should I care about a robot that can fold shirts when they could work in places too dangerous for humans to work in? Maybe we should demand more human solutions and less futuristic dreams. And maybe we should worry about AI avatars flying off the handle when we don't give them answers they want.

Excellent news! You can now get tickets for the WeAreDevelopers Conference India in November! And if you use the code DEVDIGEST on checkout, tickets are 15% cheaper!
