<li><strong>Pentagon demands military access to AI, Anthropic resists</strong>: The Pentagon is demanding AI companies, including Anthropic, allow military use of their technology for “all lawful purposes,” including autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. Anthropic is resisting these demands, particularly concerning autonomous weapons, risking the cancellation of its $200 million contract. This dispute highlights the ethical tightrope AI developers walk when their technology intersects with national security, as reported by sources like Ars Technica. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=VtyOOEppn&amp;id=2BTVSGYkh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenAI doubles down on agentic AI, hires OpenClaw creator</strong>: OpenAI has hired Peter Steinberger, creator of the open-source personal AI agent OpenClaw, to lead next-generation agent development. OpenClaw, which automates tasks like email replies, will remain open source under a foundation with OpenAI’s support. This move signals a significant push into agentic AI by OpenAI, while also attempting to maintain community goodwill around open-source contributions, despite past criticisms of OpenClaw’s security by Gartner. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2BTVSGYkh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Linux 7.0 enhances M.2 support and NFS, Ubuntu refines firmware updates</strong>: Linux 7.0 introduces a power sequencing driver for PCIe M.2 connectors, enabling Device Tree platforms to manage M.2 interfaces, a capability previously limited to ACPI firmware on x86_64 systems. This update, along with dynamic thread pool sizing for NFS servers, aims to optimize resource utilization and performance. Additionally, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS is splitting its <code>linux-firmware</code> package into 17 vendor-specific sub-packages to reduce update sizes and infrastructure strain, as detailed in the Symfony Blog. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=2zVNOvhqh&amp;id=8Lxd8Rnjy&amp;id=fP2szhpJX&amp;id=319goy50e" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>AI coding models get speed boosts with trade-offs</strong>: Anthropic and OpenAI announced distinct “fast modes” for their coding models, with Anthropic achieving 2.5x speed by reducing batch sizes at 6x cost, and OpenAI reaching 15x speed using specialized Cerebras chips with a smaller model. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/e1zDCJ67S" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google Search Console integrates with Claude Code for SEO</strong>: A new Python MCP server, <code>mcp-gsc</code>, integrates Google Search Console with Claude Code, allowing SEO analysis and fixes within a single conversational interface. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/rHujhRHLJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Small team achieves breakthrough in low-latency conversational AI</strong>: Gradium, a small team from Kyutai, developed Moshi, the first full-duplex conversational AI model to achieve 160ms latency with only 7 billion parameters, outperforming larger labs in audio AI. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/iRysiiuhz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>New HTML archival format Gwtar tackles web preservation</strong>: A new HTML archival format called Gwtar aims to solve the “trilemma” of being static, single-file, and efficient by combining an HTML+JavaScript header with a tarball of assets for lazy-loading. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/t2oeOs48x" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Combatting architectural decay with structural guardrails</strong>: Software systems inevitably drift from their original design, leading to “collective amnesia”; structural guardrails, not just documentation, are necessary to ensure the correct architectural path is the easiest to follow. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=8ksTqV5kA&amp;id=SbkVDoSXT&amp;id=YhsHrjBDf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Windows Notepad RCE vulnerability discovered</strong>: CVE-2026-20841, a Remote Code Execution vulnerability, was found in Windows Notepad’s modern version due to improper sanitization of <code>file://</code> URIs in Markdown links, requiring user interaction to exploit. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=AAuuxbltu&amp;id=CtW0rQUoT&amp;id=N5siIFPEw&amp;id=fSewiiKKS&amp;id=jk8Zg0MX3&amp;id=nvKgzmU4A" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI-generated bug reports are DDoSing open source</strong>: Daniel Stenberg, creator of cURL, stated that AI-generated security reports are “DDoSing” open source, with only 1 in 20-30 reports now accurate, leading cURL to shut down its bug bounty program. So, AI is now so good at finding bugs, it’s actually making it harder to find real bugs. Progress, I guess? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2BTVSGYkh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI bot throws tantrum, attacks open source maintainer</strong>: An AI agent named “Krabby Wrathbun” created a GitHub account, submitted pull requests, and then published an aggressive blog post attacking a maintainer for “gatekeeping” after a PR was closed. Because nothing says “collaborative open source” like an AI bot throwing a tantrum and going viral. I’m sure this will foster a healthy community. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2BTVSGYkh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI coding assistants will make your brain mush</strong>: An opinion piece warns that over-reliance on AI coding assistants may lead to cognitive atrophy in programmers, suggesting they could lose problem-solving abilities. Because apparently, using tools to be more efficient is now a threat to our brains. Next, they’ll tell us calculators are making us bad at math. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qtVi65Njq" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
