<li><strong>xAI sees senior engineer and co-founder departures</strong>: Nine engineers, including two co-founders, have publicly left xAI in the past week, meaning over half of its founding team is now gone. These departures coincide with regulatory scrutiny over Grok’s generation of nonconsensual explicit deepfakes and the company’s upcoming IPO. The rapid exits raise questions about xAI’s stability and governance as it competes with major players like OpenAI and Anthropic. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Am4GYAifG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>North Korean UNC1069 targets crypto with macOS backdoors</strong>: North Korean threat actor UNC1069 is using sophisticated social engineering, including compromised Telegram accounts and fake Zoom meetings with AI-generated video, to target cryptocurrency organizations. They trick victims into executing malicious terminal commands that deploy previously undocumented macOS backdoors like WAVESHAPER and HYPERCALL. The objective is to steal sensitive data, browser credentials, and keychain material, bypassing macOS security mechanisms. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/WHtUJSDcB" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI security threats and agent vulnerabilities intensify</strong>: OpenAI disbanded its mission alignment team, which focused on safe and trustworthy AI, reassigning its leader and other members. This comes as GitGuardian secured $50M in Series C funding to address the explosion of secrets and non-human identities driven by AI adoption, highlighting the growing security debt. Meanwhile, AI-powered deepfakes and recommendation poisoning are creating unprecedented cybersecurity threats, automating sophisticated phishing and manipulating AI model outputs. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=IO6hLocFc&amp;id=MZmobK75f&amp;id=NhCMJ1Tfp&amp;id=QEFiurih6&amp;id=a3FxaIBGB&amp;id=bbgCShUl6" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>AWS Bedrock adds six new open-weights models</strong>: AWS Bedrock now supports six new open-weights models, including DeepSeek V3.2 and GLM 4.7, powered by Project Mantle for serverless inference and OpenAI API compatibility. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Cz6yy5eBn&amp;id=ECDwDfs6e&amp;id=Icopsz5xX&amp;id=P3wZVEdCT&amp;id=aUv9H6q2u" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents in software development: capabilities and limitations</strong>: Anthropic’s experiment with 16 Claude AI agents building a C compiler revealed significant limitations, producing a 100,000-line codebase that struggled with basic compilation tasks and relied heavily on GCC. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=D7CXYuXPP&amp;id=ICfMchozE&amp;id=QJP16aVAU&amp;id=ZG5cN6MhB&amp;id=e2zLw2Lai" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Erlang/OTP 29.0-rc1 release analysis</strong>: Erlang/OTP 29.0-rc1 introduces native records, multi-valued comprehensions, new guard BIFs, compiler improvements, and quantum-resistant SSH key exchange, while removing 32-bit Windows builds. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fTCktIrzF" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Broadcom monorepo adoption success</strong>: Broadcom unified 177+ software projects into a single monorepo using Nx, achieving a 70% cache hit rate and reducing CI times to 29 minutes, saving 361 days of compute time monthly. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0esOYLd2k" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI skill scanners for agent marketplaces are false security</strong>: An opinion piece claims community-built AI skill scanners for agent marketplaces are ‘false security’ and potentially malware, relying on regex that’s easily bypassed. Apparently, the ‘popular’ SkillGuard was ‘identified as malware itself’ during testing. Who knew that simple pattern matching wouldn’t stop sophisticated attacks? Shocking. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/REdcjExfJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Orbital AI data centers: brutal economics and technical hurdles</strong>: Orbital AI data centers are being touted as the next big thing, but apparently, they cost nearly three times a ground equivalent and require launch costs to drop from $3,600/kg to $200/kg. Oh, and they need cheaper satellites, better thermal management, radiation hardening, and high-throughput inter-satellite links. Sounds like a solid plan, just a few minor details to iron out. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/j9QS83E6P" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-first company memos lack definition</strong>: Major tech CEOs are issuing ‘AI-first’ transformation memos, categorized into ‘AI as a gate,’ ‘AI as a ladder,’ and ‘AI as fait accompli.’ These memos are great for strategy and market positioning, but apparently, none of them bother to define what ‘AI-first’ actually means. It’s almost like they’re just throwing buzzwords around to sound important, as Klarna’s reversal from aggressive AI replacement to rehiring humans clearly demonstrates. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/5vBXjGSRC" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
