AI, BDD, and Why We're Bad at Predicting the Future

Hello Reader,
Lately, it seems the conversation around AI has shifted. We're moving past the initial "what can this chat window do?" phase and into the more practical, and sometimes awkward, integration into our development lifecycle.

To me, one of the most interesting moments recently is that we're seeing major players like Amazon use BDD for AI-driven requirement planning. Plus the whole ecosystem of AI builder tools is emerging, each with its own take on how to plan and execute tasks.

“Too dangerous to release” has become its own genre of AI announcement. Project Glasswing is the latest entry: not quite a product launch, but a claim about a threshold, dressed up with enough corporate coalition to signal this one is serious. Anthropic says their new security-focused model, Claude Mythos Preview, can find software vulnerabilities better than all but the most skilled human experts.

Anthropic had a rough week. And the part that stings isn’t just that something went wrong - it’s how they handled it. A map file, a DMCA frenzy, and a Python loophole On March 31st, Anthropic accidentally shipped Claude Code’s TypeScript source code via a map file left in their npm package. The leak was spotted almost immediately, and GitHub repositories mirroring the code started receiving DMCA takedowns shortly after. What followed was a fairly aggressive takedown campaign by Anthropic. One...
