<li><strong>Chrome zero-day under active exploitation</strong>: Google just patched Chrome’s first zero-day of the year, CVE-2026-2441, a use-after-free bug in CSS font parsing that’s already being exploited. This vulnerability, reported on February 11, 2026, could lead to arbitrary code execution within the browser sandbox. The fix involves preventing modification of the underlying map during traversal, highlighting the ongoing battle against memory safety issues, which Rust’s ownership model aims to prevent. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ISqaRw1RF" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft Copilot chat leaked confidential emails</strong>: Microsoft confirmed a security bug (CW1226324) in Copilot Chat that allowed the AI to bypass confidentiality labels and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies, summarizing emails from users’ Sent Items and Drafts folders without authorization. This flaw, active since late January, underscores the significant enterprise anxiety around AI tools accessing sensitive corporate data, a concern that led the European Parliament to block built-in AI features on work devices. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/jSmIdhAQU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Critical vulnerabilities in popular VS Code extensions</strong>: OX Security disclosed critical vulnerabilities in four popular VS Code extensions—Live Server, Code Runner, Markdown Preview Enhanced, and Microsoft’s Live Preview—totaling 128 million installs. These flaws enable file theft, remote code execution, and local network reconnaissance. While Microsoft silently patched Live Preview, three other maintainers never responded, leaving millions of developers exposed and highlighting significant supply chain risks in the developer tooling ecosystem. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/IuDICegHN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI productivity gains are a myth for most companies</strong>: An NBER survey of nearly 6,000 executives found over 80% reported no measurable impact from AI on productivity or employment, with 89% seeing no gains over the past three years. Yet, they anticipate AI will eliminate 1.75 million jobs by 2028. So, AI isn’t making us more productive, but it’s definitely coming for your job, according to the folks who are supposedly implementing it. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/rfmYnNc4e" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic’s Claude C compiler: a marketing masterpiece of misinformation</strong>: Anthropic’s marketing video claimed Claude built a C compiler ‘from scratch’ with ‘no human intervention’ that could compile Linux. Turns out, it used 37 years of GCC test suites, an online GCC oracle, required human restarts, cost $20,000 in API calls, and couldn’t even boot Linux. The real achievement of 16 AI agents autonomously running for two weeks to produce a 100,000-line functional compiler was completely overshadowed by their ‘dishonest marketing language.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/poO8tUjKL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-generated code: the new ‘instant legacy’</strong>: Microsoft republished an AI-generated, error-ridden Git branching model diagram, and the discredited ‘Lines of Code’ metric is back in vogue. Developers are finding AI makes code generation effortless but leaves judgment unchanged, accelerating the creation of ‘instant legacy code’ that’s hard to understand or debug. So, we’re just generating more garbage, faster, now with a fancy AI label. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/okTNHJRhB" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
