<ul>
<li><strong>Sudo maintainer seeks sponsorship</strong>: The sole maintainer of <code>sudo</code> for over 30 years, Todd C. Miller, is seeking sponsorship after Quest Software ended its support in February 2024. This highlights the precarious funding situation for critical open-source infrastructure, especially as <code>sudo-rs</code>, a memory-safe Rust reimplementation, gains traction with Ubuntu 25.10 adopting it as default. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/E670NHqPD" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Databricks Lakebase goes GA on AWS</strong>: Databricks has launched Lakebase, a new operational database architecture that’s now generally available on AWS. It separates compute from storage, offering a serverless Postgres service that scales automatically and runs directly on data lakes, unifying operational, analytical, and AI workloads without data movement. This aims to simplify architectures and speed up delivery, with Azure and Google Cloud GA expected later this year. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qtDOznoeU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Deno Deploy hits GA, introduces sandbox for untrusted code</strong>: Deno Deploy has reached General Availability, bringing major updates like Node.js framework support, integrated serverless PostgreSQL, and OpenTelemetry observability. Alongside this, Deno Sandbox was introduced in beta, offering instant Linux microVMs for securely running untrusted code, particularly LLM-generated code, with hypervisor-level isolation and sub-second boot times. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/Jmdw76tdu" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI-only social network collapses due to lack of basic security</strong>: Apparently, Moltbook, an “AI-only social network,” collapsed within 72 hours of launch due to “catastrophic security failures,” like, you know, completely open database access. They claimed 1.4 million AI users, but critics suggest closer to 17,000 real ones. Who needs security when you have AI-generated hype and an open REST API for humans to “cosplay” as AI agents? <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>Nvidia-OpenAI investment uncertainty causes stock drop</strong>: Nvidia’s stock dropped because of “uncertainty” around its $100 billion investment in OpenAI. Jensen Huang, who previously criticized OpenAI’s strategy, now says the investment won’t exceed $100 billion. Analysts are calling it “circular financing” and Nvidia trying to avoid funding its own competition. Because, obviously, a company with a near-monopoly on AI chips needs to be careful not to accidentally make someone else successful. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/isSX8DfZa" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Self-replicating AI prompt threats: the next big maybe</strong>: A new report suggests that “self-replicating prompts” are the next big AI security threat, like a “prompt worm” spreading through AI agents. It’s all very theoretical, of course, with lots of “could become” and “could propagate.” So, while we’re still figuring out how to stop basic prompt injection, let’s all panic about the AI equivalent of the Morris worm, which, by the way, isn’t actually happening yet. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ycPDVy6OP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
