<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI agents need human guidance, shocker</strong>: New research on SkillsBench, a benchmark for agentic AI, found that AI agents perform significantly better with human-provided skills. Apparently, agents without human input or those generating their own skills showed no improvement. Who would’ve thought that giving an AI agent a curated set of instructions would make it better than letting it flail around on its own? Truly groundbreaking stuff. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/c3BmZNVYL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agent development: The new gold rush for buzzwords</strong>: Reports suggest 90% of software professionals use AI agents daily and 41% of global code is AI-generated. Yet, 96% of developers don’t trust AI-generated code without manual review, spending 24% of their week auditing it. So, we’re just shifting the toil from writing code to reviewing AI’s questionable output, all while hyperscalers give away open-source agent frameworks to lock you into their paid inference. Sounds like a perfectly sustainable ecosystem, for them. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=0RZnFaVdx&amp;id=0tsahmoqQ&amp;id=1T2QibIEj&amp;id=4oT58cxD6&amp;id=5PVGTElyC&amp;id=63WlQ6f1b&amp;id=6KUpHm9AN&amp;id=7kGySrWe9&amp;id=8XgrajBbi&amp;id=9BZKHffMq" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agent security: More problems, more products</strong>: MIT CSAIL’s 2025 AI Agent Index found most agents are closed-source, lack safety disclosures, and create complex dependency chains. Naturally, this means a new wave of products like Lasso Security’s Intent Deputy and Adversa AI’s SecureClaw are emerging to monitor and audit these agents. It’s almost as if creating opaque, complex systems with no clear accountability just generates more opportunities for security vendors. Who could have predicted that? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=07WAnPuNo&amp;id=0j71k63Zt&amp;id=0mtJL7Uoa&amp;id=2REed6AzP&amp;id=3vnyKPx4I&amp;id=4AGiB2Xt1&amp;id=4YRSUVlsV&amp;id=4qcuXiEwl&amp;id=6Mw1oOOok&amp;id=6q2Np6XR7" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
