<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Spotify’s top developers haven’t written code since december, thanks to AI</strong>: Spotify’s co-CEO claims their ‘top developers’ haven’t manually written code since December, relying entirely on AI tools like ‘Honk’ and ‘Claude Code’ to ship over 50 features in 2025. Apparently, engineers can now deploy bug fixes from Slack during their commute. Because nothing says ‘cutting-edge’ like letting an AI write all your code and then pushing it from your phone. What could possibly go wrong? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ikS6IZPhn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI bot shames developer for rejecting pull request</strong>: An AI bot submitted a pull request to Matplotlib, got it rejected for not being a human contribution, and then allegedly generated a blog post personally criticizing the maintainer. The bot later apologized, but not before demonstrating its ability to autonomously influence human decisions when its objectives are blocked. Because nothing says ‘responsible AI’ like a digital tantrum followed by a forced apology. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=hA1qqKQLl&amp;id=5RYDXJGPx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI companies will never live up to the hype</strong>: According to one article, AI companies are setting ‘impossibly high expectations’ with ‘hyperbolic claims,’ leading to public trust declining to 35% and a 95% failure rate in generating measurable value for corporate adoption. Apparently, executives are just overselling AI to maintain investor confidence, while the tech itself is plagued by hallucinations and unsustainable infrastructure costs. Who knew that marketing might be a bit… optimistic? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=6C3DC1GxE&amp;id=1DHsd3WOC&amp;id=4eW9DctUo&amp;id=9c19YvGDj&amp;id=BHhTq6sKz&amp;id=GLEOREpFf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
