<li>OpenAI introduces ads, Musk’s lawsuit proceeds: OpenAI is rolling out targeted ads in its free and ‘Go’ ChatGPT tiers for US users, citing financial strain and the need to sustain free access, as reported by TechCrunch. This marks a significant shift from CEO Sam Altman’s previous stance against ads. Meanwhile, Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging a breach of its nonprofit commitments, is heading to a jury trial, with a federal judge dismissing motions to terminate the case. Privacy advocates are, predictably, raising concerns about the ad model’s incentives. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=DQh9IAXNl&amp;id=pwpD2QRjm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

This protocol has been deprecated for over two decades, yet many organizations still use it. Mandiant’s move aims to force companies to finally disable this insecure authentication method, highlighting the ongoing risk of legacy systems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2q2phjvWS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li>AI-generated browser: 3 million lines of code, zero functionality: Cursor’s CEO proudly announced that hundreds of GPT-5.2 agents generated over 3 million lines of code for a web browser in a week. Apparently, ‘meaningful progress’ now means a codebase that doesn’t compile, has 34 errors, 94 warnings, and no working demo. It’s almost as if throwing AI at a problem doesn’t magically produce a production-ready product. Who knew? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=UbZlY7YDE&amp;id=qHCb0ov8q&amp;id=V3KHuMgUU&amp;id=V42saD54U" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>WordPress gets ‘zero-code’ structured data, because AI needs more junk to scrape: ACF PRO 6.8 Beta 2 now automatically generates Schema.org-compliant JSON-LD for WordPress sites, promising to ‘future-proof’ them for AI like ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews. Because what the internet really needs is more auto-generated, SEO-optimized content for AI to regurgitate. The cycle of digital mediocrity continues, now with ‘zero-code’ effort. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fcLlptMlt" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>Cybersecurity vendors: AI-enhanced malware is coming for you (and only our product can save you): Various cybersecurity firms are screaming about AI-enhanced malware outpacing traditional defenses, conveniently positioning their own ‘default-deny’ or ‘generative AI-powered red teaming’ solutions as the only way out. It’s a classic FUD tactic: invent a scarier boogeyman (AI malware!) and then sell the magic bullet. Don’t worry, your wallet will be safe… from having too much money. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=HNcMXisuu&amp;id=Uyfdx9HxC&amp;id=YZooc8gSw&amp;id=bJjD9wMX1&amp;id=gTlhYMQCn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
