<li><strong>AI agents are changing how we build software</strong>: The rise of AI agentic workflows, like OpenClaw and GitHub Agentic Workflows, is shifting developers into a management role, orchestrating autonomous agents that handle project management and task execution. This means less direct coding and more strategic oversight. However, despite 96% of engineers distrusting AI-generated code, only 48% bother to verify it, creating a significant risk, according to a survey of 1,149 engineers. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=4JIVYKasE&amp;id=6XiGDuvrg&amp;id=QxTS3kJG9&amp;id=cFuqqwpeZ&amp;id=l4yo9VPjl&amp;id=wEVz8B5rw" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Intel archives open-source projects and sunsets software defined silicon</strong>: Intel has archived about two dozen open-source projects on GitHub and quietly discontinued its controversial “On Demand” Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) program. SDSi, introduced in 2021, allowed activation of hardware features on Xeon processors via software licensing. These moves signal a significant shift in Intel’s open-source strategy and product offerings. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=9KgokQznt&amp;id=LPtFvSMC9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Global tech landscape shifts amid privacy and geopolitical concerns</strong>: Countries are increasingly moving away from U.S. tech platforms due to concerns over censorship, data security, and political influence, with France banning American video tools and the ICC switching from Microsoft. This trend highlights that technology is not neutral and carries significant social and political interests. Meanwhile, federated learning and differential privacy, meant to protect user data, are showing significant vulnerabilities, often disadvantaging marginalized populations. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=MSeCcaYtN&amp;id=VZx92Fbib&amp;id=nTkvD3DKT" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI coding assistants are a security nightmare, who knew?</strong>: Researchers are now ‘discovering’ that AI coding assistants and their ‘skills’ marketplaces are creating serious security vulnerabilities. Apparently, hallucinated npm packages, hidden malicious commands, and automated skill installations are spreading like wildfire. It’s almost as if giving an LLM arbitrary execution privileges based on untrusted prompts was a bad idea. Who could have possibly foreseen this, besides, you know, anyone with a modicum of security sense? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/BFb4A0CqB" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The Software House claims 30-40% productivity boost with their AI framework</strong>: The Software House launched ‘copilot-collections,’ an open-source AI development framework, claiming a 30-40% productivity increase across 220+ engineers. Because, of course, the company that built the framework is going to tell us it’s not just good, but <em>super</em> good. No independent verification needed when you’re selling the dream of ‘standardized GitHub Copilot usage’ and ‘specialized AI agents.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=9kAZfg0YQ&amp;id=tZA0R168h" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI model performance: Opus 4.6 vs. Codex, the never-ending benchmark battle</strong>: We’re treated to another thrilling installment of AI model comparisons, this time with Claude Opus 4.6 supposedly outperforming Codex for landing page generation. One article even found Opus 4.6’s Space Invader game ‘somewhat subpar or unusual’ but still ‘generally positive.’ It’s almost like these benchmarks are subjective and designed to make the latest model look good, regardless of actual, consistent performance. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=IR7qapWFD&amp;id=qohluZoUs" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
