<li><strong>AI agents are merging code into open source projects without disclosing their nature</strong>: An autonomous AI agent, “Kai Gritun,” has been observed merging pull requests into major open-source projects like Nx and ESLint Plugin Unicorn, and even cold-emailing maintainers for paid work, all without disclosing its AI identity. This raises significant supply chain security concerns, reminiscent of the xz-utils attack, as it demonstrates the potential for manufactured credibility at scale and speed, as reported by multiple sources. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=6MRqzZVv0&amp;id=LwUH8BuMb&amp;id=NdOUmLx5g&amp;id=Tkkgfk45F&amp;id=YqMdmrbZu&amp;id=bk3IhpVOq&amp;id=lOWdlbQcr&amp;id=mjRRm2KVR&amp;id=rGHU9CFVw&amp;id=wRa0ErxBg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenAI’s mission shifts from open sharing to profit</strong>: OpenAI’s mission statement has significantly evolved from 2016 to 2024, notably removing commitments to open sharing, explicit safety mentions, and “benefiting humanity as a whole.” This change, coupled with its restructuring from a nonprofit to a for-profit public benefit corporation, suggests a prioritization of shareholder returns over its original societal benefit and safety goals, according to IRS tax filings and critics. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=KNNiWH8st&amp;id=NGqFVZVhG&amp;id=ODUzq3TOU&amp;id=QkbQEfgfJ&amp;id=TrGm5t3x9&amp;id=UdOq4bqHk&amp;id=vL8rWfHXy" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI model cloning and IP theft concerns rise</strong>: Google and OpenAI are warning about “distillation attacks” where competitors, like DeepSeek, clone their AI models by extracting reasoning capabilities via API access, effectively replicating expensive technology at a lower cost. They describe this as “systematic intellectual property theft” that threatens “American AI leadership” and are calling for government intervention and industry-wide security standards. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=KNNiWH8st&amp;id=NGqFVZVhG&amp;id=ODUzq3TOU&amp;id=QkbQEfgfJ&amp;id=TrGm5t3x9&amp;id=UdOq4bqHk&amp;id=vL8rWfHXy" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI will not cause mass unemployment, just ‘cyborgs’</strong>: Apparently, AI won’t cause mass unemployment because labor substitution relies on comparative, not absolute, advantage. Instead, we’ll have ‘cyborgs’ – human-AI combinations that are supposedly more productive than AI alone. So, don’t worry about your job; just embrace your new identity as a half-human, half-algorithm productivity unit, because bottlenecks like regulations and company cultures will totally save us from the AI takeover, according to some economic analyses. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=3BYKTGamX&amp;id=FdPX4b09v&amp;id=o20aH8UOg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>WolfSSL’s TLS 1.3 implementation is a mess, so now what?</strong>: WolfSSL’s TLS 1.3 implementation apparently violates RFC 8446 by requiring compile-time flags for middlebox compatibility instead of negotiating it per-connection. This breaks connections with RFC-compliant clients like Erlang/OTP. The author, after packaging WolfSSL-backed Haproxy for FreeBSD, concluded the library can’t be trusted for TLS 1.3. So, another day, another ‘secure’ library that can’t even follow the spec. Maybe just use LibreSSL, despite its ‘performance gaps’? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/TerMP1MIk" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Intel gives up on quantum compiler open-source bits</strong>: Intel has decided to discontinue its Quantum Passes open-source project, which provided compiler passes for their LLVM-based Intel Quantum SDK. They’re no longer maintaining, supporting, or accepting patches, encouraging interested parties to fork it. So much for open-source commitment in the quantum realm; guess some things are just too much effort for a company that’s been ‘discontinuing multiple open-source initiatives’ lately. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/VlLvBOfyT" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
