<li><strong>Microsoft’s AI code quality and security woes</strong>: Microsoft is facing increased scrutiny over its software quality, with two out-of-band emergency patches released in early 2026, continuing a trend of frequent post-Patch Tuesday fixes. This coincides with Microsoft’s claims that over 30% of its code is now AI-generated, raising questions about quality control. Meanwhile, the Notepad++ update infrastructure was compromised by suspected Chinese state-sponsored hackers, who delivered backdoored versions to select targets, highlighting broader supply chain security risks. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=H1aWwdchu&amp;id=diIJMavHg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agent security is a mess</strong>: Researchers found over 175,000 Ollama AI hosts exposed online, creating a security monoculture vulnerable to resource hijacking and remote attacks. A critical 1-click RCE was also discovered in OpenClaw, an AI assistant used by over 100,000 developers, due to excessive permissions and misconfigurations. These issues highlight significant security risks in widely deployed open-source AI systems, with thousands of OpenClaw instances discoverable on Shodan. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=2SdHHyeRJ&amp;id=iEIaVGrhd&amp;id=nVdzT2QRW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI-washing layoffs: the new corporate excuse</strong>: A Forrester report claims over 50,000 layoffs in 2025 were ‘AI-washed,’ meaning companies blamed AI for job cuts actually driven by financial pressures or pandemic over-hiring. Apparently, AI is now the convenient scapegoat for bad business decisions, allowing companies to sound innovative while shedding staff. Who knew AI was so good at PR? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/yXHHUa4yo" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Cloudflare’s ‘Matrix homeserver’ built on AI</strong>: Cloudflare proudly announced a ‘production-grade Matrix homeserver’ built on Workers, only for Matrix co-founder Matthew Hodgson to point out it lacked critical features like federation, authentication, and encryption. Turns out, their AI-generated code had ‘TODO’ comments in critical sections. It’s almost like AI can’t magically build complex, secure systems without human oversight. Shocking, I know. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Iq2RG6GgT" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Oracle’s 26ai: new name, same old skepticism</strong>: Oracle just dropped Database 26ai for on-premises Linux, complete with AI Vector Search and other buzzwords. But industry experts are already skeptical, citing Oracle’s extended support for 19c until 2032 and concerns about AI vendor lock-in. It seems slapping ‘AI’ on a product doesn’t automatically make everyone forget about the joys of Oracle upgrades and unclear release schedules. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Ppu6C3s7w" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
