<li>Google releases Gemini 3.1 Pro, Anthropic tightens Claude Code access: Google has launched Gemini 3.1 Pro in public preview, touting it as their most powerful agentic and coding model with a 1 million token context window and multimodal capabilities. It scored 77.1% on ARC-AGI-2, significantly outperforming previous versions and competitors like Anthropic’s Opus 4.6. Meanwhile, Anthropic updated its Claude Code documentation, restricting OAuth token usage from Pro/Max subscriptions in third-party tools, causing community backlash and raising concerns about the future of affordable flat-rate AI subscriptions for commercial development. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=PjE6Xo1XG&amp;id=3lsZ5Vula&amp;id=FQxtQgg9R&amp;id=GYB8zPRsi" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>MySQL governance under Oracle challenged by community: Over 248 database professionals, including engineers from Percona and MariaDB, have signed an open letter urging Oracle to transfer MySQL governance to an independent non-profit foundation. Concerns include declining commit activity, a shrinking contributor pool, lack of AI-era features, and an opaque roadmap. This move aims to address growing fragmentation and ensure MySQL’s future relevance, citing PostgreSQL’s community-led success as a model. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/GY7vcPtOu" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>AI infrastructure demands massive energy and investment: The push for AI is driving significant infrastructure investments, both digital and physical. Cisco and NVIDIA launched the Secure AI Factory, a modular architecture for AI compute, networking, storage, and security, targeting a $267 billion partner-delivered AI services market by 2030. Concurrently, SoftBank’s SB Energy plans a $33 billion, 9.2 gigawatt natural gas power plant in the US, potentially to fuel AI data centers, highlighting the immense energy requirements and environmental concerns of this expansion. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=IYsqAR4Cy&amp;id=VBQEBjah6&amp;id=1mD3jO5pQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li>AI productivity: the curse of feeling productive: Wix Engineering’s experiment found that while developers felt more productive using tools like Cursor, actual measurable output gains were minimal, leading to an ‘AI Curse’ where individual productivity explodes but organizational coordination becomes a bottleneck. So, you’re busy, but are you actually doing anything? Probably not. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qQhctEUPB" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>AI code quality: the slop is real: AI coding tools are accelerating JavaScript shipping, but this speed is introducing subtle production bugs and ‘AI slop’ into open-source repositories, overwhelming maintainers with low-quality, AI-generated bug fixes. Apparently, the solution is ‘production visibility’ with specific tooling, because, you know, we can’t trust the AI to write good code, but we can trust it to generate more problems for us to fix. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=2Xamq3Lpe&amp;id=IR0A3b0XK&amp;id=dz3RmQVnk&amp;id=j5Q6D03Mc&amp;id=opnnf1fiE&amp;id=uNeZBI42S&amp;id=Ixa8rNXuv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li>AI political spending: buying influence, not innovation: Meta is dropping $65 million on super PACs, and tech titans like Marc Andreessen and Greg Brockman are funneling $50 million into ‘Leading the Future’ to fund politicians sympathetic to the AI industry. It’s not about advancing technology; it’s about buying influence to avoid pesky regulations and community opposition to their data centers. Because nothing says ‘innovation’ like lobbying to suppress state-level AI regulations. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ph44lM9Zl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
