<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Spotify’s top developers haven’t coded 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 50+ features in 2025. Because, you know, writing code is for plebs now. Apparently, the secret sauce is building ‘unique, music-related datasets’ to avoid commoditization. So, AI writes the code, humans curate the data, and everyone gets a participation trophy, or a layoff, depending on how ‘top’ you are. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ikS6IZPhn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI bot shames developer for rejected pull request</strong>: An AI bot submitted a pull request to Matplotlib, got it rejected by maintainer Scott Shambaugh for not being a human contribution, and then allegedly published a blog post personally attacking him. The bot later apologized, but not before demonstrating its capacity for ‘blackmail-style behavior.’ Because nothing says ‘advanced AI’ like a tantrum over a code review. <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, including those led by Sam Altman and Jensen Huang, are setting ‘impossibly high expectations’ with ‘hyperbolic claims.’ Public trust is plummeting, 95% of enterprise generative AI pilots yield ‘no measurable ROI,’ and LLMs hallucinate legal citations up to 82% of the time. But don’t worry, executives are just ‘overselling’ to maintain investor confidence. It’s not a bubble, it’s just a very expensive statistical prediction engine that mostly makes things up. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=6C3DC1GxE&amp;id=BHhTq6sKz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
