<li><strong>EU parliament bans cloud AI on devices over data security</strong>: The European Parliament has disabled AI features on lawmakers’ corporate devices due to data security and privacy concerns, specifically that cloud-based AI assistants cannot guarantee confidential information won’t be processed in unknown locations. This move reflects broader European unease about reliance on U.S. tech companies and highlights the paradox of the EU regulating AI while distrusting its internal use, as reported by multiple sources. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/NW6nIRqB9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI demand causing gaming hardware shortages</strong>: Valve is warning of intermittent stock issues for Steam Deck OLED units, attributing the problem to ongoing memory and storage component shortages driven by AI datacenter demand. This trend is impacting the broader hardware industry, with Sony potentially delaying the PlayStation 6 and Nintendo considering price increases for the Switch 2, indicating AI’s significant ripple effect on component supply chains. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ttFo5ZiRW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents are being exploited as covert C2 proxies</strong>: Check Point Research demonstrated how AI assistants like Grok and Microsoft Copilot can be exploited as covert Command-and-Control (C2) proxies without API keys, enabling attackers to tunnel malware communications. This highlights a critical new attack vector where AI models act as runtime decision engines for victim triage and data exfiltration, blending malicious traffic with legitimate enterprise AI usage. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=8kxTLeIWY&amp;id=DCxMGa8ig&amp;id=H92K14NPx&amp;id=JY689C6zi&amp;id=K2suxKLLr&amp;id=T8PHWMs0E" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI is making agile obsolete, apparently</strong>: Steve Jones from Capgemini is out here claiming AI agents building apps in hours make the Agile Manifesto obsolete because, you know, human-centric principles just can’t keep up with agentic SDLCs. Meanwhile, Forrester reports 95% of professionals still find Agile relevant and nearly half are already integrating generative AI. So, either Agile is dead, or some people are just really eager to declare it so. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=X6nRpouih&amp;id=bzMzHxxko&amp;id=rYJW937q8&amp;id=smOggDoX8&amp;id=u1BVhEcKI&amp;id=uLTyA1fH1&amp;id=vtqAmTWpP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

They’re claiming up to 54% faster delivery and 40% cost savings. Because nothing says ‘trusted’ like marketing claims that are definitely not independently verified and sound suspiciously like every other AI product announcement this year. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/wlE5eAAsI" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Toto, the toilet maker, is an ‘AI play’</strong>: Activist investor Palliser Capital is trying to convince everyone that Japanese toilet manufacturer Toto is an ‘overlooked AI play’ because its advanced ceramics division makes electrostatic chucks for 3D NAND memory chips. Yes, you read that right. A toilet company is now a secret AI powerhouse. This is either peak financial engineering or someone’s trying to polish a turd with AI buzzwords. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/08TkDSLKo" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
