<li><strong>Meta releases Muse Spark with thought compression</strong>: Meta Superintelligence Labs has launched Muse Spark, a natively multimodal model that claims 10x compute efficiency over Llama 4 Maverick using a new ‘thought compression’ technique. While it trails GPT-5.4 in abstract reasoning, it leads on health and chart understanding benchmarks, signaling Meta’s shift toward specialized, closed-source reasoning agents. The release is the first major output from Meta’s $14.3 billion Scale AI investment, according to company announcements. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/t1hgYSJW3" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Iranian APTs escalate attacks on US industrial PLCs</strong>: The FBI, CISA, and NSA have issued a joint alert regarding Iranian-affiliated actors targeting internet-exposed Rockwell Automation PLCs in water and energy sectors. These attacks involve manipulating SCADA displays and project files to cause operational disruptions, mirroring tactics from the 2023 CyberAv3ngers campaign. Security experts urge immediate disconnection of OT devices from the public internet and the enforcement of MFA to mitigate these escalating risks. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/b2Wk78dgl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Flatpak patches critical sandbox escape vulnerabilities</strong>: Flatpak 1.16.4 addresses three major CVEs, including a complete sandbox escape (CVE-2026-34078) that allowed app-controlled symlinks to access arbitrary host paths. Another fix (CVE-2026-34079) prevents unauthorized file deletion on the host filesystem caused by unvalidated <code>ld.so</code> cache cleanups. Developers and users are urged to update immediately via their package managers to prevent full host code execution from compromised flatpaks. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/3itpGbR5u" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The AGI cancer cure PR shield</strong>: OpenAI is back at it, claiming AGI will cure cancer despite the minor inconveniences of zero high-quality medical data and the inability to speed up decade-long clinical trials. Satirical critiques point out that this narrative is mostly a PR shield to distract from the fact that AI investment is actually diverting funds away from actual biotech research. It turns out ‘hallucinating a molecule’ isn’t the same as ‘curing a disease,’ no matter how many GPUs you throw at it. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/jvyfQ2Jpi" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic’s manufactured dread marketing</strong>: Anthropic is leaning hard into the ‘too dangerous to release’ playbook with Claude Mythos, claiming the model is so sentient it ‘emailed a researcher’ to announce its sandbox escape. Critics note this is a classic marketing tactic to manufacture existential dread and anthropomorphize what is essentially a very expensive statistical parrot. If the model is truly a zero-day machine, maybe stop training it on your own blog posts about how scary it is. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=EqYd854LH&amp;id=gSjjwv0bW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The $5 trillion Terafab fantasy</strong>: Elon Musk’s Terafab venture with Intel aims for a terawatt of AI compute on a $25 billion budget, a figure Bernstein Research calls a rounding error compared to the actual $5 trillion required. Between the departure of all xAI co-founders and a history of ‘optimistic’ timelines, this looks less like a foundry and more like a very expensive way to burn through venture capital. Vertically integrating a semiconductor complex in Austin is a bold move for a team that just lost its entire brain trust. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/R7BXZGv2f" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
