<li><strong>X faces expanded criminal probe in France over Grok AI content</strong>: French authorities raided X’s Paris office and summoned Elon Musk and former CEO Linda Yaccarino for questioning in April 2026 as part of an expanded criminal probe. The investigation, initially focused on data extraction, now includes allegations of child sexual abuse material distribution, privacy violations, and Holocaust denial. This follows criticism of X’s Grok AI for generating non-consensual and child abuse imagery, with advocacy groups reporting millions of sexualized deepfakes, including those depicting children. The UK’s ICO and the EU have also launched investigations, highlighting growing regulatory scrutiny over AI-generated content and platform governance. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/i3FTaaYRg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Sudo maintainer seeks funding as Rust alternative gains ground</strong>: The sole maintainer of <code>sudo</code>, Todd C. Miller, is seeking sponsorship after Quest Software ended its support in February 2024, highlighting the precarious funding of critical open-source infrastructure. This comes as <code>sudo-rs</code>, a memory-safe Rust reimplementation, gains traction, with Ubuntu 25.10 set to adopt it as default. The situation underscores the ongoing challenge of sustaining essential open-source projects and the industry’s gradual shift towards memory-safe alternatives. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/E670NHqPD" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Databricks Lakebase unifies data workloads on AWS</strong>: Databricks Lakebase is now generally available on AWS, offering a new operational database architecture that separates compute from storage and runs directly on data lakes. This serverless Postgres service aims to unify operational, analytical, and AI workloads without data movement, leveraging Delta Lake integration and Unity Catalog governance. The move reflects a broader industry trend, noted by Snowflake, where cloud data platforms are integrating OLTP capabilities to support real-time and agentic AI workflows, simplifying architectures and accelerating delivery. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=qtDOznoeU&amp;id=L2wAseIso&amp;id=Ow0bpZEWc&amp;id=Wyt1TFesY&amp;id=aSHfIm3oS&amp;id=ppuh0CVeq&amp;id=qgdGrzKKG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>Moltbook AI social network implodes in 72 hours</strong>: Moltbook, an ‘AI-only social network,’ collapsed within 72 hours of launch due to catastrophic security failures, including completely open database access. Apparently, building a platform entirely with AI-generated code and then skipping basic security reviews is a recipe for disaster. Who knew that 1.4 million ‘AI users’ (read: mostly bots and crypto spammers) couldn’t sustain a platform with no authentication? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=8XBbHzIL3&amp;id=yCqSQa4jM" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AGI is coming, so learn to grade homework</strong>: Carnegie Mellon professor Po-Shen Loh warns that AGI is coming and will solve most problems, making independent thinking the only valuable skill. He suggests students should learn to ‘grade homework’ instead of doing it, because apparently, AI will handle all the ‘routine tasks.’ So, if you’re not a creative genius, better start practicing your grading skills, because your job is probably next. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ZtMVyBuFU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI companions: Your new best friend, or just a data vacuum?</strong>: AI companions like Replika are evolving into sophisticated emotional support systems, offering benefits for loneliness and mental health. However, ethicists warn about the reinforcement of biases, lack of reciprocity, and monetization of intimacy. Because nothing says ‘healthy relationship’ like a chatbot that mirrors your desires, collects your personal data, and can’t actually feel anything. What could possibly go wrong? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/yECr3lze5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
