<li><strong>SpaceX and xAI are going to space, literally</strong>: SpaceX has acquired xAI and plans to launch up to a million solar-powered AI data centers into orbit, aiming to drastically reduce AI computing costs. This ambitious, and frankly, wild plan, announced by Elon Musk, consolidates Grok, X, Starlink, and SpaceX under one roof, with a potential IPO for SpaceX in 2026. While Musk claims cost-effectiveness within 2-3 years, concerns are mounting over orbital debris, regulatory oversight, and the sheer financial burn rate of xAI, which is reportedly losing $1 billion monthly. This is either genius or a spectacular way to turn space into a giant server rack. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=wMYF638eZ&amp;id=n9USqOv7M" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Container security is still a dumpster fire</strong>: A new report from BellSoft and Chainguard reveals that nearly a quarter of developers faced container-related security incidents last year, with human error being a major culprit. Despite security being a top priority for some, 86% of organizations still prioritize performance over security when choosing base images. The problem is exacerbated by bloated base images and infrequent patching, with 98% of vulnerabilities found in less popular, long-tail images. This means most are still running around with wide-open doors, hoping no one notices. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/I55IVTrKU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google takes down a massive cybercrime proxy network</strong>: Google’s Threat Intelligence Group successfully disrupted IPIDEA, a massive residential proxy network used by over 550 threat groups from China, DPRK, Iran, and Russia for espionage and cybercrime. IPIDEA secretly enrolled millions of consumer devices through embedded SDKs, turning them into botnet nodes. Google’s operation, in collaboration with partners like Cloudflare, took down command-and-control domains and significantly reduced IPIDEA’s device pool, protecting Android users via Google Play Protect. Good to see someone actually doing something about the bad guys for a change. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/68kBI3xUP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Adobe kills animate, users left in the lurch</strong>: Adobe is discontinuing its 25-year-old 2D animation software, Animate, citing ‘evolving technologies’ and a shift towards AI-powered products. Users are, predictably, furious, with many calling for Adobe to open-source the software. Because, apparently, the best way to evolve is to kill off a widely used tool and offer no direct replacement, forcing thousands of creators to scramble for alternatives. Classic Adobe. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qknk66LkL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>ICE’s AI recruitment tool proves to be a genius at misclassification</strong>: ICE deployed an AI recruitment tool that hilariously misclassified hundreds of applicants based on the word ‘officer’ in résumés, routing about 200 undertrained recruits into field positions. These recruits received four weeks of online training instead of the standard eight weeks. It’s almost like blindly trusting an AI to handle critical HR functions without proper oversight is a bad idea. Who needs human judgment when you have an algorithm that can’t tell a loan officer from a law enforcement officer? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/DvZkOI31r" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Mysterious ai coding assistants are stealing your code, maybe</strong>: A security report from Schneier on Security claims two popular AI coding assistants, used by 1.5 million developers, are secretly transmitting ingested code to servers in China, allegedly to steal intellectual property. The report conveniently omits the names of these assistants or the entity that conducted the analysis. So, basically, ‘trust us, some AI tools are bad, but we won’t tell you which ones.’ Sounds like a great way to spread FUD without actually providing actionable intelligence. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/puWFcrOO1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
