Irrational Exuberance

<h2>Must know</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Anthropic and OpenAI drop new models, AWS invests big in AI infrastructure</strong>: Anthropic released Claude Opus 4.6 with ‘agent teams’ for parallel task execution and a massive 1 million token context window, aiming for broader enterprise appeal. Not to be outdone, OpenAI quickly followed with GPT 5.3 Codex, which reportedly outperforms Opus 4.6 on benchmarks and offers real-time steering. Meanwhile, AWS announced a staggering $200 billion investment in 2026 to double its data center capacity by 2027, specifically for AI infrastructure, indicating a massive bet on the future of AI compute, as reported across multiple sources including those covering the new model releases and AWS’s financial statements. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=G7Sre82A1&amp;id=Ijw4mCG7B&amp;id=CZUzCGBQG&amp;id=1BAlXIloL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI bot traffic escalates, sparking an arms race with publishers</strong>: AI bots are now a significant portion of web traffic, with two main types: those scraping for model training and those retrieving real-time info for AI agents. Data from Akamai and TollBit shows a rise in both since mid-2025. Publishers are deploying aggressive defenses, leading to an ‘arms race’ as bots develop sophisticated tactics to bypass protections. This conflict is predicted to fundamentally reshape the internet, potentially changing its primary users. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/5O2tzW5oh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Old driver flaw allows EDR bypass, Microsoft builds LLM backdoor scanner</strong>: Threat actors are exploiting a legitimate, decade-old EnCase forensic tool’s Windows kernel driver to disable security products, bypassing modern verification due to Windows’ backward compatibility policies. This BYOVD attack targets 59 security processes to blind endpoint defenses. In response to growing AI supply chain risks, Microsoft developed a scanner to detect backdoors in open-weight AI models by identifying attention hijacking, data leakage, and fuzzy trigger matching patterns, addressing a critical enterprise vulnerability. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=9GskJTmwz&amp;id=O9jvh85A8" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Vibe coding: the next big thing or just prompt engineering with extra steps?</strong>: Apparently, ‘vibe coding’ is the new hotness, an ‘evolution’ of prompt engineering where AI agents autonomously operate within ‘predefined frameworks.’ So, instead of writing code, we’re now just writing really good specs for our AI overlords. It’s not about building from scratch, mind you, but ‘extending and enhancing existing codebases.’ Sounds suspiciously like what we used to call ‘maintenance’ but with more buzzwords and less actual coding. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/wypgtlifg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Modular monoliths: rediscovering the wheel, again</strong>: Kevlin Henney at NDC London 2026 pointed out that ‘modular monoliths’ aren’t some groundbreaking new concept, but rather a re-discovery of fundamental software design principles from the 60s and 70s. It seems the industry keeps forgetting that good design—modularity, information hiding, separation of concerns—is timeless, regardless of whether you call it a monolith, microservice, or a distributed cluster of artisanal hamsters. We’re just repackaging old wisdom with new names. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/MfDT4eL1e" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-optimized phone plans: because your phone needs more AI, obviously</strong>: SpaceX is apparently exploring a Starlink-branded mobile phone ‘optimized for AI neural networks.’ Because what everyone really needs is a phone that can run more AI locally, rather than, you know, just connecting to the cloud. It’s almost as if they’re trying to find new ways to justify all that satellite infrastructure by making us believe our phones are too dumb for the future without their special sauce. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=MXFPbStCq&amp;id=afU8DAFQ0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
