<li><strong>Anthropic and OpenAI clash over AI ads</strong>: Anthropic is planning Super Bowl ads to mock OpenAI’s move to introduce advertising in ChatGPT, positioning its Claude AI as ad-free. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman fired back, calling Anthropic’s ads dishonest and defending their approach, while also labeling Anthropic ‘authoritarian.’ This public spat highlights the diverging business models and intense rivalry between the two AI giants, with Anthropic emphasizing an ad-free experience for ‘work and deep thinking’ and OpenAI testing ads in lower-cost tiers. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/TmM2mNSSP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agent security vulnerabilities exposed</strong>: Snyk’s ‘ToxicSkills’ research uncovered critical security flaws in the AI Agent Skills ecosystem, with 13.4% of scanned skills containing severe issues and 76 confirmed malicious payloads designed for credential theft and data exfiltration. This highlights a significant supply chain risk for enterprises adopting AI agents, especially with platforms like OpenClaw and Claude Code utilizing these vulnerable skills. Operant AI launched ‘Agent Protector’ to address these risks with real-time security for autonomous AI agents, emphasizing the need for platform providers to embed security rather than leaving it to customers. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=0BdgmYNfg&amp;id=0e28QTlYb&amp;id=2vNCw5dB4&amp;id=dL9ys7HAk&amp;id=the2EenMO" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>Elixir is the ‘best language for AI’</strong>: An article claims Elixir is the ‘best language for AI’ based on an unnamed ‘Tencent study’ that supposedly found it had a 97.5% LLM completion rate. Because a single, unverified study from an undisclosed source is all you need to declare a language superior for an entire field. Apparently, Elixir’s ‘immutability’ and ‘decade-long stability’ are the secret sauce, not, you know, the actual AI models or infrastructure.

<li><strong>UK deepfake detection plan criticized</strong>: The UK government announced plans to develop a framework for evaluating deepfake detection technologies, partnering with Microsoft and academics. Cybersecurity expert Dr. Ilia Kolochenko, however, states this initiative is unlikely to produce systemic improvements, arguing that existing open-source tools already track AI-generated content. So, while the government is busy ‘evaluating,’ the real problem of enforcement and global legislation remains conveniently unaddressed.

<li><strong>AI agents will make you rich quick</strong>: A developer launched <a href="http://agentpacks.ai" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">agentpacks.ai</a>, selling pre-configured AI agent teams, and claims to have generated $816 MRR in two days. The secret? ‘Staying current with AI tools, public project building, rapid shipping of imperfect products, and social media distribution.’ It’s almost like the ‘get rich quick’ scheme just got an AI facelift, promising easy money if you just package some existing tech. What could possibly go wrong with a market flooded with ‘imperfect products’ from ‘rapid shipping’?
