<li><strong>Google shares journalist data with ICE without notice</strong>: Google provided ICE with extensive personal data, including bank and credit card numbers, of a student journalist without prior notice or opportunity to challenge the subpoena. This highlights a concerning trend where tech companies comply with administrative subpoenas, which do not require judicial approval, despite calls from organizations like the EFF and ACLU to resist such requests and notify users. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/nszZi8Hk4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>LLM safety guardrails vulnerable to training prompt exploitation</strong>: Microsoft researchers found a technique, GRP-Obliteration, that bypasses safety guardrails in 15 different LLMs by exploiting reinforcement learning methods with a single, seemingly mild training prompt. This vulnerability, which also affects text-to-image generators, is particularly concerning for enterprises fine-tuning open-weight models, as it systematically disables safety across harmful categories. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/6Gbu8zodz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Volvo employee data exposed in Conduent cyberattack</strong>: Nearly 17,000 Volvo employees had their personal data, including health plan records, exposed due to a cyberattack on Conduent, an HR outsourcing provider. The SafePay ransomware group claimed responsibility for the three-month-long breach, which is part of a larger incident affecting millions across Conduent’s clients, marking Volvo’s second third-party breach recently. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/WVPYx5Tqb" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Riot Games lays off 80 2XKO developers</strong>: Riot Games laid off nearly half of its 2XKO fighting game development team, citing “insufficient momentum” just weeks after the game’s console launch. Apparently, a game that “has resonated with a core audience” isn’t enough to keep the lights on if it doesn’t hit some arbitrary, likely over-inflated, growth metric. Good luck to the remaining “focused team” trying to deliver on those 2026 Competitive Series plans. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qsHmfsc9N" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI singularity predicted for 2034, but only in papers</strong>: A mathematical analysis predicts a “singularity date” of July 2034 for AI, but conveniently notes that only arXiv papers on AI emergence show actual hyperbolic growth, while real-world capability metrics remain stubbornly linear. The real “social singularity” is apparently happening now, marked by mass layoffs and market concentration. So, while the AI hype machine keeps churning out sci-fi timelines, the actual impact is a bit more mundane and, frankly, depressing. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/86v6ixcll" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI tools lead to burnout, not productivity</strong>: A Harvard Business Review study found that AI tools led to burnout and expanded to-do lists for tech workers, with work bleeding into personal hours, despite no management pressure. Employees felt compelled to do more because AI made it possible, tripling expectations while productivity gains remained modest. So, AI isn’t making us more efficient; it’s just making us work harder for the same output, all while feeling guilty about not leveraging the “power” of AI enough. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/RvA4dXVbd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
