<ul>
<li><strong>Upwind security raises $250M for runtime cloud security</strong>: Upwind Security, founded by the team behind <a href="http://Spot.io" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Spot.io</a>, secured a massive $250 million Series B, valuing the company at $1.5 billion. They’re pushing a “runtime” cloud security platform that analyzes internal network and API traffic, a shift from traditional agentless scanning. Despite initial hesitation from security teams about deploying internal agents, they’ve achieved 900% year-over-year revenue growth and doubled their customer base, including Siemens and Peloton, according to TechCrunch. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/LGgCBPA2D" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Laravel expands cloud, AI, and caching capabilities</strong>: Laravel’s January releases brought a Private Cloud for enterprise Kubernetes deployments, Valkey caching for improved latency, and expanded Cloud API coverage. Forge now supports Hetzner S3 backups, and Nightwatch gained AI-powered exception descriptions. The framework also added vector embedding support and JSON:API resources, while Boost 2.0 shipped Skills for AI agents, enhancing the Laravel ecosystem for AI-driven development. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/V83fhk3mp" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>WebAssembly quietly dominates edge and AI computing</strong>: WebAssembly is quietly becoming a foundational technology, celebrating its 10th anniversary by moving beyond browsers to edge computing, serverless runtimes, and embedded systems. Its deterministic, compact, and portable nature makes it ideal for AI workloads at the edge, enabling on-device inference and composable agent systems. This growth is happening “behind the scenes” because it’s often the go-to solution when containers are too heavy and predictability is key, as noted by Container Journal. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=XjOBMuNCm&amp;id=2VsBKezZr" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI-powered driving instructor promises rewards for good behavior</strong>: Discovery Insure launched an AI-powered Advanced Driving Instructor that uses telematics and generative AI to create personalized driving goals and rewards. Apparently, it’s so good, some customers earn fuel rebates equivalent to their monthly premiums. Because nothing says safe driving like gamified rewards and an AI watching your every move, right? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/LsXY4pcoJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Tesla robotaxi crash rates raise transparency concerns</strong>: Tesla’s robotaxi fleet in Austin recorded 9 crashes over 500,000 miles, making its crash rate 3x worse than human drivers for all crashes and 9x worse for police-reported incidents. This is all happening with safety monitors in every vehicle, while Tesla conveniently redacts all crash narratives. Meanwhile, Waymo, with truly driverless vehicles, has a better safety record. Transparency, who needs it when you have Elon’s reality distortion field? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/M8WkrOIKM" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
