<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Human guidance is still critical for AI agents, apparently</strong>: New research on SkillsBench, a benchmark for agentic AI, found that AI agents perform significantly better with human-provided skills—16.2 percentage points better, to be exact. Agents generating their own skills showed no improvement. So, all that talk about autonomous AI agents? Turns out they still need us to hold their hands, or at least give them a decent instruction manual. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/c3BmZNVYL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Persona Identities: more than just age verification</strong>: Researchers found an exposed frontend of Persona Identities’ age-verification system, revealing it performs 269 distinct verification checks, including facial recognition against watchlists and adverse media screening. They collect extensive personal data, including biometrics, and retain it for up to three years. Discord is dropping them, but Roblox, OpenAI/ChatGPT, and Lime are still on board. Because who needs privacy when you can have ‘enhanced’ age verification? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/xFBRRgZcu" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agent productivity: the orchestrator fantasy</strong>: Docker’s report claims 90% of software professionals use AI agents daily and 41% of global code is AI-generated. The developer role is supposedly shifting to an ‘orchestrator’ or ‘conductor’ of AI agents. Yet, 96% of developers don’t trust AI-generated code without manual review, spending 24% of their week auditing AI output. Sounds less like orchestration and more like babysitting a very verbose, error-prone intern. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/0RZnFaVdx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
