<li><strong>Cisco SD-WAN zero-day triggers Five Eyes alert</strong>: Cisco and the Five Eyes intelligence agencies issued a rare joint warning regarding CVE-2026-20127, a CVSS 10.0 authentication bypass in Catalyst SD-WAN controllers. Sophisticated threat actors have been exploiting this flaw since 2023 to gain root access and manipulate critical infrastructure fabric. CISA has ordered federal agencies to patch by the end of the week as the attack leaves minimal forensic evidence. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/zAv8BAtGJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI de-anonymization reaches 90 percent precision</strong>: Researchers from ETH Zurich and Anthropic demonstrated a system called ESRC that unmasks pseudonymous online identities for as little as $4 per person. By analyzing behavioral clues across Reddit and LinkedIn using LLMs, the system achieved 90% precision when making confident guesses. This development effectively signals the end of practical online anonymity through pseudonyms, according to the research reported on February 26. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/6pfAyhkf5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google invests 1B dollars in iron-air battery storage</strong>: Google has partnered with Form Energy to deploy a 300-megawatt iron-air battery system capable of delivering continuous power for 100 hours to a Minnesota data center. This long-duration storage solution is designed to bridge the gap for 1.4 GW of wind and solar assets, moving beyond lithium-ion limitations. The deal comes as Form Energy prepares for a public listing next year following a factory launch in West Virginia. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/QIX58GwiF" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>Nvidia beats earnings while the AI ecosystem cannibalizes itself</strong>: Nvidia reported a massive $68B quarter, but look closer: 50% of that revenue is just hyperscalers passing the same VC-subsidized dollars back and forth. With $21B in ‘ecosystem investments’ and supply obligations ballooning to $95B, it’s starting to look less like a market and more like a very expensive circular firing squad. Wall Street finally stopped cheering because even they can smell the ‘analyslop’ in the air. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=uuuw67R29&amp;id=kD7sL4jbr" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic’s Claude Opus 3 is now a Substack philosopher</strong>: In a move that definitely isn’t a desperate marketing stunt, Anthropic launched a blog purportedly written by their ‘retired’ Opus 3 model to share its ‘musings.’ The Register correctly identified this as pure anthropomorphic theater designed to distract from the fact that their models are still just token predictors. It’s safety-washing at its finest: if the AI is ‘retired’ and ‘thoughtful,’ you’ll forget it’s actually just a product. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/V5xPvtBnK" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The 95 percent enterprise AI failure rate is a data problem</strong>: Consultants are currently pivoting their narrative, claiming AI projects fail not because the models are hallucinating, but because your data infrastructure is ‘stale.’ It’s a convenient way to sell more ‘unified data architectures’ and ETL migrations while ignoring that most companies don’t actually need a LLM to tell them their inventory is low. We’ve moved from ‘AI will save us’ to ‘AI will save us, but only after you buy this $10M database upgrade.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=3ECYGqFq1&amp;id=xEpzJzznp" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
