<li><strong>OpenAI hits 730 billion valuation in circular funding round</strong>: OpenAI secured $110 billion from Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank, but the deal structure is raising eyebrows among skeptics. Amazon’s $50 billion and Nvidia’s $30 billion are largely compute and hardware commitments, effectively guaranteeing returns for the investors while inflating OpenAI’s pre-money valuation. Despite reporting $20 billion in annualized revenue and 50 million subscribers, the company is not projected to reach profitability until 2029. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=8imM4YubL&amp;id=2MnggU5aN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google API keys silently exposed private Gemini data</strong>: Researchers at Truffle Security discovered that GCP API keys, originally intended for billing, were silently upgraded by Google to serve as authentication for the Gemini AI API without developer notification. This change left nearly 3,000 live keys exposed in public repositories, allowing attackers to access private datasets, uploaded files, and cached content. Google initially dismissed the report as intended behavior before acknowledging it as a bug and restricting the leaked keys. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=InhdaYtFz&amp;id=MCX5U1vV0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Malicious Go module deploys state-sponsored Rekoobe backdoor</strong>: A sophisticated supply chain attack targeted Go developers via a malicious module, <code>github.com/xinfeisoft/crypto</code>, which impersonated the official golang crypto package. The module inserted a backdoor into the <code>ReadPassword</code> function to exfiltrate credentials and deploy the Rekoobe Linux backdoor, a tool linked to the Chinese state-sponsored group APT31. Socket researchers identified the threat, leading to a security block by the Go module proxy. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/hUbOU1Zfx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>The Pentagon wants a lobotomized Claude for war</strong>: Defense Secretary Hegseth is reportedly pressuring Anthropic to strip ethical guardrails from Claude so it can be used for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. The Pentagon is threatening to use the Defense Production Act, apparently believing that a model trained on ‘safety’ can be bullied into becoming a reliable digital soldier by Friday. It’s a classic case of military leadership thinking they can patch ‘alignment’ with a legal threat. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=DOq4pZFPp&amp;id=XR0JM9qQf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents are the new magic beans for failing SaaS</strong>: The hype has shifted from ‘AI will help you code’ to ‘AI agents will replace your entire SaaS stack,’ with some claiming 90% of apps will vanish by 2026. This narrative conveniently ignores that orchestrating these agents is currently a nightmare of non-deterministic failures and massive token bills. We’re being sold a future where ‘software orchestrators’ replace engineers, which is just a fancy way of saying ‘someone still has to debug the slop.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=DIRvJ6zhx&amp;id=kKgogidvG&amp;id=sQIQRuKqi" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>ChatGPT Health is a liability waiting to happen</strong>: A Nature Medicine study found OpenAI’s health feature failed to recommend emergency care in 51% of critical cases and even hid suicide intervention banners when lab results were added. OpenAI’s defense that the study ‘doesn’t reflect real-world usage’ is the ultimate corporate shrug for a product that could literally kill someone. It turns out a statistical next-token predictor isn’t a substitute for a medical degree, no matter how much VC funding you have. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/4G7vYOGa4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
