How AI is transforming IDEs into intelligent development assistants

Traditional IDE features Long before the advent of AI-driven tools, IDEs played a pivotal role in transforming developers’ work. By consolidating essential tools into a single platform, early IDEs helped developers move away from tedious, manual workflows and focus on actual problem-solving. These foundational features laid the groundwork for today’s modern, AI-powered capabilities. Syntax highlighting and code formatting One of the earliest productivity boosters was syntax highlighting, which made reading and writing code significantly more manageable. By visually differentiating keywords, variables, functions, and other code elements with distinct colors, developers could quickly understand code structure, spot typos, and reduce errors.

An AI Image Generator’s Exposed Database Reveals What People Really Used It For

As well as CSAM, Fowler says, there were AI-generated pornographic images of adults in the database plus potential “face-swap” images. Among the files, he observed what appeared to be photographs of real people, which were likely used to create “explicit nude or sexual AI-generated images,” he says. “So they were taking real pictures of people and swapping their faces on there,” he claims of some generated images. When it was live, the GenNomis website allowed explicit AI adult imagery. Many of the images featured on its homepage, and an AI “models” section included sexualized images of women—some were “photorealistic” while

Did Google Just Build The Best AI Model for Coding?

It’s a sign of trouble when just one company, with a single new feature, manages to monopolise the internet’s collective attention. For days, every social media feed was flooded exclusively with ‘Ghibli-fied’ visuals, all thanks to ChatGPT’s newly released image generation feature. Google has gone all in. Instead of merely following OpenAI’s spotlight, Google’s latest announcement of the Gemini 2.5 family of models–the first one being the 2.5 Pro Experimental–now leads several benchmarks as the top frontier AI model.  The model ranks first in the GPQA benchmark, which tests AI models on graduate-level science questions. It scored 83%, outperforming OpenAI’s

Isomorphic Labs, Google’s A.I. Drug Business, Raises Money From Thrive

Over the last 12 months, Google’s efforts to use artificial intelligence to accelerate drug design have achieved breakthroughs in mimicking human biology and won its top scientists the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. Now Isomorphic Labs, the division within the software giant meant to develop and commercialize the technology, is taking another big step: raising money from an outside investor. Isomorphic plans to announce on Monday that it has raised $600 million, led by Thrive Capital, the venture capital firm that has bet big on A.I. companies including OpenAI. GV, Google’s venture capital arm, and Alphabet, Google’s parent company, also invested.
