<li><strong>OpenAI hits 730 billion valuation via circular compute deals</strong>: OpenAI secured $110 billion from Amazon, Nvidia, and SoftBank, but the deal structure is raising eyebrows among industry analysts. Amazon’s $50 billion contribution is largely a compute credit for its Trainium accelerators, while Nvidia’s $30 billion is tied to deploying five gigawatts of its new Vera Rubin systems. This ‘circular’ investment strategy effectively guarantees returns for the investors while inflating OpenAI’s valuation despite the company not expecting profitability until 2029. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=8imM4YubL&amp;id=ShShzSJ3B" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Vercel open sources React optimization rules for AI agents</strong>: Vercel has released ‘react-best-practices’, a repository of over 40 performance rules specifically formatted for consumption by AI coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code. Unlike standard ESLint rules, these focus on high-level architectural patterns such as eliminating async waterfalls and optimizing bundle sizes. While the project has seen massive adoption with 150k weekly installs, some developers are raising valid concerns regarding supply chain security and the efficacy of codifying architecture for LLMs. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/J6VGCUvIf" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AirSnitch vulnerabilities bypass WiFi client isolation</strong>: Researchers at UC Riverside have demonstrated ‘AirSnitch’, a set of flaws that break the security feature intended to prevent devices on the same network from attacking each other. The vulnerability affects hardware from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks even on encrypted WPA3 networks. The issue stems from a lack of standardization in how Layer 2 and Layer 3 network stacks bind device identities. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/tSnGJTDSb" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The six hour AI app miracle</strong>: The Leet Container Dashboard is being marketed as ‘built in 6 hours’ using Codex and Cline AI. While it’s a nice TypeScript project, this ‘speed-run’ narrative ignores the decades of existing Docker API documentation the AI is just regurgitating. It’s less of a technical feat and more of a high-speed copy-paste job that makes for a great GitHub README but questionable long-term maintenance. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/GVRafeRV4" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Perplexity pivots to the two hundred dollar computer</strong>: Perplexity is launching a ‘Computer’ agent for $200 a month, claiming to move away from ads to focus on ‘GDP-moving decisions.’ It’s a classic pivot: when your search engine’s unit economics don’t work, just call it an ‘agentic orchestrator’ and 10x the subscription price. They’re essentially charging a premium to route your queries to the same models you already pay for elsewhere. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/JYBUJ8DSb" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The million AI monkeys hypothesis</strong>: Industry talking heads are pushing the idea that AI will soon generate entire production-ready SaaS platforms autonomously. As veteran Carl Brown points out, this ignores the fact that AI-generated code actually shifts the burden to verification and integration testing, which are the hardest parts of the job. We aren’t getting ‘free’ software; we’re just getting a massive debt of unverified code that requires an expensive senior engineer to fix. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=035cEsTZZ&amp;id=trvEPJHeN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
