<li><strong>AI demand is delaying Valve hardware</strong>: Valve is delaying its Steam Machine, Steam Frame VR headset, and new Steam Controller due to industry-wide memory and storage component shortages. These shortages are primarily driven by the insatiable demand from AI data centers, causing RAM prices to more than double since October 2025. Despite the delays, Valve still aims to ship all three products in the first half of 2026, but is currently re-evaluating pricing and exact shipping schedules. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/iXYPYa4qJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AWS pours $200 billion into AI infrastructure</strong>: AWS announced a massive $200 billion investment in 2026 to double its datacenter capacity by the end of 2027, primarily for AI infrastructure. This comes after a strong Q4 2025 with 24% year-over-year growth, driven by both traditional cloud migration and AI workloads. CEO Andy Jassy stated that AWS is monetizing AI capacity as fast as it’s deployed, highlighting the significant capital expenditure required to keep up with AI demand. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=1BAlXIloL&amp;id=CZUzCGBQG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft builds LLM backdoor scanner</strong>: Microsoft has developed a scanner to detect backdoors in open-weight AI models, addressing a critical supply chain risk for enterprises using third-party LLMs. The scanner identifies malicious triggers embedded during training by looking for attention hijacking patterns, data leakage from poisoned training, and fuzzy trigger matching. While analysts see this as incremental progress, it’s a step towards securing the increasingly complex AI model ecosystem. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/O9jvh85A8" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI bots are taking over the internet, apparently</strong>: According to Akamai and TollBit, AI bots are now a “significant portion” of web traffic, leading to an “arms race” with publishers. Apparently, the internet is about to fundamentally change because bots are scraping content and bypassing defenses. Who knew that giving AI access to all human knowledge would lead to it trying to consume more? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/5O2tzW5oh" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Starlink wants to make an AI phone</strong>: SpaceX is reportedly exploring a Starlink-branded mobile phone “optimized for AI neural networks,” which will “rival traditional smartphones.” Because what we really need is another phone, especially one that’s “optimized for AI”—whatever that means in a handheld device. Maybe it’ll help you find better signal in space? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=MXFPbStCq&amp;id=afU8DAFQ0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Vibe coding is the new prompt engineering</strong>: A new concept called “Vibe Coding” is being touted as the evolution of prompt engineering, where AI agents autonomously operate within predefined frameworks. The idea is that developers write specs, and AI implements them, shifting focus from coding to “business requirements and architecture.” So, we’re just calling it “Vibe Coding” now when AI writes the boilerplate we used to complain about? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/wypgtlifg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
