<li><strong>Ladybird browser pivots to rust with AI assistance</strong>: The Ladybird browser project is ditching Swift for Rust, primarily for memory safety, after losing a year on Swift due to poor C++ interop. Lead developer Andreas Kling used AI agents like Claude Code and Codex to translate 25,000 lines of C++ to Rust in just two weeks, a task estimated to take months manually. This human-directed AI workflow resulted in byte-for-byte identical output and zero test regressions, showcasing AI’s potential for accelerating large-scale refactoring efforts. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=bavH6r0ZC&amp;id=1QrlHS5ue" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic accuses chinese AI labs of industrial-scale model distillation</strong>: Anthropic is publicly accusing Chinese AI labs DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax of creating over 24,000 fraudulent accounts to distill its Claude models, generating 16 million exchanges to extract capabilities like agentic reasoning and tool use. Anthropic frames this as a national security threat, arguing distilled models lack safety guardrails and could be misused. This comes amidst US debates on AI chip export controls, with Anthropic using these claims to push for stricter restrictions, despite facing its own copyright infringement lawsuits for training on scraped content. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=YcZmCF704&amp;id=s76VxSBCH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-augmented fortigate firewall compromises reported by AWS</strong>: AWS detected a financially motivated, Russian-speaking threat actor compromising over 600 FortiGate firewall instances across 55+ countries using generative AI tools. The AI assisted in reconnaissance, generating exploitation instructions, writing scripts, and creating operational notes, enabling an unsophisticated group to operate at scale. The attacks leveraged exposed management interfaces, weak credentials, and lack of MFA, highlighting that basic security hygiene would have prevented most of the activity. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/azBzuZltn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>OpenAI updates AI coding evaluation standard</strong>: OpenAI, in its infinite wisdom, has decided that its previous benchmark, SWE-bench Verified, is ‘saturated’ and ‘contaminated,’ so now everyone should use SWE-bench Pro. Because when your AI models get too good at passing the old test, you just invent a new, ‘more rigorous’ one. It’s not about the models getting better; it’s about the goalposts moving, as always. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/oZGyDrjcX" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google deepmind claims image generation breakthrough</strong>: Some random Twitter user, @rryssf_, is breathlessly reporting that Google DeepMind ‘just solved’ one of the ‘dirtiest problems’ in image generation with an ‘embarrassingly elegant’ fix. Naturally, no actual details, technical specifics, or official announcements are provided. It’s almost as if vague, hyped-up claims on social media are designed to generate clicks rather than convey actual scientific progress. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fzJvtM3B4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenAI responses API websockets integration and performance impact</strong>: Steven Heidel (RT) announced that the OpenAI Responses API now supports WebSockets, claiming AI agents will run 30-40% faster. Cursor, an editor, also jumped on the bandwagon, claiming their OpenAI models are now up to 30% faster. So, WebSockets, a technology that’s been around for ages, is now suddenly a ‘breakthrough’ for AI speed. It’s almost like they’re just now catching up to basic web development practices and calling it innovation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/CNQCNZ2N0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
