<li><strong>Gemini AI model faces extraction attempts and nation-state misuse</strong>: Google reported that over 100,000 attempts were made to extract proprietary reasoning capabilities from its Gemini AI model using distillation techniques. They consider these coordinated efforts intellectual property theft. Additionally, Google’s threat report revealed nation-state actors from China, Iran, North Korea, and Russia are integrating Gemini into attack operations, including social engineering and phishing, with new malware families like HONESTCUE embedding Gemini’s API to generate malicious code that bypasses safety filters. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/OQLlwLpSw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic secures massive funding as AI investment surges</strong>: Anthropic secured a massive $30 billion Series G funding round, doubling its valuation to $380 billion, driven by a reported $14 billion revenue run rate from enterprise adoption of its Claude AI models.

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Anthropic’s AI-built C compiler: more hype than help</strong>: Apparently, Anthropic’s AI-built C compiler, created by 16 Claude Opus agents in two weeks, was just marketing fluff. It reportedly failed basic tests without manual configuration and relied on GCC for assembly and linking. So much for AI replacing actual engineers, huh? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/mZHhw9XzP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Gartner predicts 40% AI project failure: shocker</strong>: Gartner, in its infinite wisdom, predicts 40% of AI projects will fail by 2027 due to ‘unsustainable velocity’ and ‘fragmented systems.’ Who knew rushing things and not having a coherent plan could lead to failure? Truly groundbreaking insight there. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ZY9MBJa3v" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Auth0’s ‘flexible’ b2b plan updates</strong>: Auth0 announced some ‘updates’ to their B2B plans, claiming it’s all based on ‘developer feedback.’ Now you can add Enterprise Connections incrementally and get M2M token add-ons without a full plan upgrade. Because nothing says ‘flexibility’ like paying more for features that probably should have been there in the first place. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/UzL5CQ1eX" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
