<li><strong>Stripe considers acquiring PayPal</strong>: Stripe, now valued at $159 billion, is reportedly eyeing PayPal for an acquisition, according to Bloomberg. While talks are early, this move could significantly reshape the digital payments landscape. PayPal, valued at over $40 billion, has been struggling with slowing growth and increased competition from tech giants, making it a potential target for Stripe’s aggressive expansion. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/gB7UDBJXo" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Cybersecurity landscape worsens with AI-enabled attacks</strong>: CrowdStrike’s latest report paints a grim picture: average cyberattack breakout time dropped to 29 minutes, and AI-enabled attacks surged by 89%. Threat actors are integrating generative AI across the attack chain, with 82% of detections being malware-free, indicating a shift towards stealthier methods. This escalation highlights the urgent need for robust, proactive defense strategies, especially as AI systems themselves become targets. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/WsqeDq8OW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>npm supply chain attack targets AI coding tools</strong>: Socket researchers uncovered the SANDWORM_MODE campaign, an npm supply chain attack using 19 typosquatted packages to impersonate developer utilities and AI coding tools like Claude Code. This malware harvests credentials, injects malicious code into GitHub Actions, and deploys MCP servers for prompt-injection attacks, silently exfiltrating SSH keys and cloud credentials. npm has responded by tightening registry controls, but this highlights a critical new vector for supply chain compromise in the AI development ecosystem. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/q6c2RLQKH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Cursor launches autonomous cloud AI agents for software development</strong>: Cursor is now offering ‘autonomous cloud AI agents’ that can supposedly do your coding for you, producing ‘merge-ready Pull Requests with video and screenshot artifacts.’ They even claim over 30% of their own PRs are now AI-generated. Because nothing says ‘quality code’ like a video demo from an AI that can ‘reproduce vulnerabilities’ and has ‘smooooth’ low-latency remote desktop control. What could possibly go wrong? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/BbESdM4Ct" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Claude code introduces remote control feature</strong>: Claude Code now has a ‘Remote Control’ feature, letting developers ‘start tasks in their terminal and manage them remotely’ from a mobile device. Because what every developer needs is to be tethered to their terminal even when they’re ‘on a walk or in a meeting.’ Apparently, this is ‘increased productivity and flexibility,’ not just another way to never truly disconnect. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/nVKmTfT2y" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents accelerate feature development on personal site</strong>: Kent C. Dodds, a developer, proudly announced that AI agents like Cursor helped him clear his GitHub issues and implement semantic search on his personal site, a feature ‘on his backlog since 2019.’ So, after years of human procrastination, an AI finally got it done. This isn’t a testament to AI’s brilliance; it’s a testament to how much we’ve been slacking. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/HVH19Oob1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
