The Enterprise Experience It's the 18th of August. Today is a special day for me, as it marks my one-year anniversary of working at $ENTERPRISE. Before this I had been a professional software developer for the best part of a decade, but entirely in startups and SMEs. This time last year I made the decision to sell out and hit the big leagues for fun and financial profit. After my interview the only feedback I received was that I didn't have much exposure to enterprise software development, whi

techcrunch.com Anthony Ha 2025-12-24 14:07:35

Netflix could soon lose the creative team behind one of its biggest hits. Earlier this week, Variety and other Hollywood publications reported that Matt and Ross Duffer, the brothers who created “Stranger Things” (and wrote and directed many episodes), were in talks to sign an exclusive deal with Paramount (now under the ownership of David Ellison’s Skydance). Then on Friday evening, Puck’s Matthew Belloni posted that the Duffers had in fact “made their choice” and were going to Paramount. The

New Research Finds That ChatGPT Secretly Has a Deep Anti-Human Bias

futurism.com Unknown 2025-12-23 02:30:50

Do you like AI models? Well, chances are, they sure don't like you back. New research suggests that the industry's leading large language models, including those that power ChatGPT, display an alarming bias towards other AIs when they're asked to choose between human and machine-generated content. The authors of the study, which was published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, are calling this blatant favoritism "AI-AI bias" — and warn of an AI-dominated future whe

Car Company Charges Monthly Fee for Its EVs to Drive Faster

Cars aren't just cars, these days. They have to be stuffed with smartphone-like tech. Maybe it was inevitable, then, that they'd start using the subscription model of a phone app. As Electrek reports, drivers of several Volkswagen EV models will have to pay a monthly fee to unlock the full horsepower of their cars — at least in the UK, though we wouldn't rule out the scheme expanding to other markets. The affected models are the Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4, which start at 201 horsepower. But if

Astronomers Say They’ve Finally Solved the “Little Red Dots” Mystery

When the James Webb Space Telescope first came online in 2022, it immediately spotted something astronomers had never seen before: "little red dots" peppering the ancient expanse of deep space, originating from around when the universe was just one billion years old. Ever since, we've struggled to explain what these faint signals could be. The prevailing theory is that they're some kind of extremely compact galaxy.
