<li><strong>Microsoft’s AI spending spree and Windows 11 backlash</strong>: Microsoft’s stock took a hit after reporting a massive $37.5 billion in AI-related capital expenditure, raising questions about the ROI of their aggressive AI push. This comes as users are pushing back against forced Copilot integrations in Windows 11, leading Microsoft to review and potentially remove AI features from core apps like Notepad and Paint. It seems even Microsoft is learning that throwing AI at everything isn’t always the answer, as reported by sources like #0PRBbgRZc. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=0PRBbgRZc&amp;id=JtPRqmAkm&amp;id=0jt1kGbdr&amp;id=8b12pEovl&amp;id=mR53bImT0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents are a security nightmare</strong>: Turns out, giving AI agents broad access to systems and data without proper security is a terrible idea. Researchers found critical vulnerabilities in projects like OpenClaw, exposing credentials and user data, while a social network for AI agents, Moltbook, leaked 1.5 million API keys due to misconfigurations. This highlights a dangerous trend of prioritizing speed over secure defaults in AI development, as detailed by sources like Schneier on Security and #iW2dnVT4l. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=fuL6WfKHt&amp;id=iW2dnVT4l&amp;id=nVdzT2QRW&amp;id=IVsgr78CO&amp;id=SulJvcnOu&amp;id=kgAIr1pL1&amp;id=puWFcrOO1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Raspberry Pi prices jump due to AI demand</strong>: If you’re in the market for a Raspberry Pi, prepare to pay more. Prices for models with 2GB or more memory are increasing by $10 to $60, with the company citing soaring LPDDR4 memory costs driven by AI infrastructure demand. This isn’t the first time, indicating ongoing supply chain pressures are making even small-scale computing more expensive thanks to the AI gold rush. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Rk4TtZc2A" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI-generated content persists despite exposure</strong>: Apparently, telling people AI-generated content is fake doesn’t actually stop them from believing it. A new report suggests the ‘truth crisis’ isn’t about initial deception, but the lasting emotional impact of manipulated content, proving once again that facts are optional for some. So much for transparency being the silver bullet, eh? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/savTmPDZC" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Norwegian municipality’s AI billing blunder</strong>: A Norwegian municipality, in its infinite wisdom, deployed AI to fix billing errors for water and sewage, only to have it incorrectly bill 1,000 residents, including children. The AI was supposed to save time, but instead, five staff members had to handle complaints. Who could’ve predicted that rushing AI without proper quality assurance would lead to more work and angry citizens? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/FlMxMsjGN" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Manis AI promises mobile apps in 8 minutes</strong>: Manis, a no-code platform, claims you can build and deploy a mobile app in 8 minutes using its AI orchestrator. They even demonstrated a ‘Bill Sniper’ app. Because, you know, the world desperately needs more hastily built apps with questionable long-term viability, all thanks to the magic of AI and a single prompt. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/mN5yBPuXJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
