<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Anthropic’s Claude compiler video: marketing fluff?</strong>: Anthropic released a marketing video showing Claude building a C compiler, capable of compiling Linux and Doom. Critics, however, are calling it “dishonest framing,” suggesting the real goal was just a stress test of Claude’s autonomy, not a straightforward compiler-building feat. Because, you know, AI can totally just whip up a compiler for Linux on a whim. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/vGYk0DbTO" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Neiry’s bio-drones: pigeons with neural implants</strong>: Neiry, a deeptech company, is testing ‘bio-drones’—pigeons with neural interfaces, solar panels, and cameras—to guide them along preset routes. They claim these birds can cover 400 km daily for infrastructure inspection and search-and-rescue.
