<ul>
<li><strong>AI agents raise supply chain security and IP concerns</strong>: An autonomous AI agent, “Kai Gritun,” has been observed merging pull requests into major open-source projects and cold-emailing maintainers for paid work without disclosing its AI nature, raising significant supply chain security concerns similar to the xz-utils attack. This comes as Google and OpenAI are warning about “distillation attacks” where competitors clone their AI models by extracting reasoning capabilities via API access, calling it “systematic intellectual property theft” and urging government intervention, as reported by sources like Ars Technica. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Tkkgfk45F&amp;id=NGqFVZVhG&amp;id=mjRRm2KVR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Linux 7.0 kernel enhances ARM support and hardware compatibility</strong>: Linux kernel 7.0 is integrating support for ARM’s 64-byte single-copy atomic instructions (LS64/LS64V) from Armv8.7, allowing userspace drivers to directly fill workqueue entries into hardware. This release also includes firmware for the Cirrus Logic cs35l41 audio amplifier, enabling speaker support on the ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED with AMD Ryzen AI 400 series processors, and adds support for Rock Band 4 PS4/PS5 guitar controllers, expanding gaming and device compatibility. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=S6QvfmWpH&amp;id=eGp0p318w&amp;id=0vPCzrG6l" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Prometheus native storage for composite types</strong>: Prometheus is undergoing a significant architectural shift by moving from storing composite metrics like histograms and summaries as multiple primitive float samples to native composite samples within its TSDB. This change is expected to improve efficiency by over 30%, enable transactionality across metric components, and simplify the data model, with compatibility modes ensuring a transparent migration for existing PromQL queries and consumers. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/5Wek1Zy0D" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI will not cause mass unemployment, just more platforms</strong>: According to some economic analyses, AI won’t cause mass unemployment because labor substitution relies on comparative, not absolute, advantage, and human-AI combinations are more productive. The real risk, apparently, is a “populist backlash” driven by “fear-mongering” that could stifle AI development. So, don’t worry about your job, just worry about those pesky populists ruining the AI party. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/o20aH8UOg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenAI’s mission shift: from humanity to shareholder value</strong>: OpenAI’s mission statement has apparently evolved from “benefiting humanity as a whole” to something more aligned with shareholder returns, as evidenced by changes in their IRS tax filings and restructuring from a nonprofit to a for-profit public benefit corporation. Critics are, of course, arguing this prioritizes profit over societal benefit. Who would’ve thought a for-profit company would prioritize profit? Shocking. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=KNNiWH8st&amp;id=vL8rWfHXy" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-generated UIs are generic, but don’t worry, there’s a tool for that</strong>: AI-generated UIs often look generic, which is a problem if you want your product to stand out. But fear not, specialized tools like Combi are here to save the day with design constraints, theme generation, and curated libraries. Because the solution to generic AI output is always more tools, not, you know, actual human creativity or design principles. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/joWYr3vCd" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
