<li><strong>Google shared journalist data with ICE without notice</strong>: Google provided extensive personal data, including bank details and IP addresses, of a student journalist to ICE in response to an administrative subpoena. This happened without prior notice to the journalist, denying them the chance to challenge the request. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) and ACLU are calling on tech companies to resist such subpoenas without judicial oversight and to notify users before complying, especially as government data requests continue to surge. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/nszZi8Hk4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>LLM safety guardrails bypassed by simple training prompts</strong>: Microsoft researchers found a technique, GRP-Obliteration, that can bypass safety guardrails in 15 different LLMs using a single, seemingly mild training prompt. This vulnerability, which exploits reinforcement learning methods, can make models permissive across harmful categories, even affecting text-to-image generators. The findings are a significant concern for enterprises fine-tuning open-weight models, highlighting that continuous safety evaluation is crucial as alignment isn’t static. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/6Gbu8zodz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI infrastructure bottlenecked by power grid issues</strong>: America’s AI infrastructure is facing a critical bottleneck due to 2-7 year wait times for electrical transformers and substations needed to connect data centers to the power grid. This crisis, stemming from outsourced manufacturing, material shortages, and labor gaps, is driving up electricity costs and could jeopardize the US’s competitive edge in AI development. Meanwhile, European datacenters are also facing environmental scrutiny and power access challenges amid surging AI demand. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=26XUA8lbK&amp;id=GCkJXahVJ&amp;id=I56P7Z2BC" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI startup funding continues to soar, because why not?</strong>: Runway, an AI video startup, just raised $315M at a $5.3B valuation to develop ‘next-generation world models’ beyond video generation. And Vega Security snagged $120M at a $700M valuation for its ‘AI-native security operations platform.’ Because apparently, we can’t just have good software anymore; it all needs to be ‘AI-native’ and worth billions, even if it’s just two years old. The hype train has no brakes, only bigger valuations. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=4IWqjNIV3&amp;id=DMWE4S7RE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI will fix your IPv6 migration, but not your budget</strong>: A university experiment claims generative AI reduced cognitive load on network engineers for IPv6 migrations by 65-72%, cutting completion times from hours to seconds. Great, so AI can finally do the boring stuff. But the university’s CIO is already warning about AI cost concerns like token pricing changes, vendor lock-in, and expensive on-prem alternatives. So, AI saves you time, but probably costs you more money and gives you new vendors to worry about. Progress! <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/e9OZK0ZNf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The ‘social singularity’ is here, and it’s just layoffs and market concentration</strong>: A mathematical analysis predicts a ‘singularity date’ of July 2034, but then admits only arXiv papers show hyperbolic growth, while actual AI capabilities remain linear. Instead, it suggests a ‘social singularity’ is happening now, evidenced by mass layoffs, regulatory failures, and market concentration. So, the AI apocalypse isn’t robots taking over; it’s just the same old corporate shenanigans, but with a fancier name. How… anticlimactic. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/86v6ixcll" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
