<li><strong>Meta secures massive nuclear power deals for AI data centers</strong>: Meta has inked agreements with Vistra, Oklo, and TerraPower to procure over six gigawatts of nuclear power for its data centers, driven by escalating AI workloads. Vistra will supply 2.1 GW immediately from existing Ohio facilities, with an additional 433 MW by the early 2030s. Oklo and TerraPower, both advanced nuclear startups, are slated to deliver 1.2 GW and 2.8 GW respectively, targeting operational dates between 2030-2032. This move signals a significant shift in the tech sector towards long-term nuclear energy procurement, though the cost-effectiveness of small modular reactors (SMRs) remains unproven, as reported by TechCrunch. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/1sXfoaLc2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Snowflake acquires Observe for AIops and observability</strong>: Snowflake is acquiring Observe, an AI-based Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) platform, to bolster its observability offerings. The goal is to enhance the diagnosis, monitoring, and management of production AI systems by unifying visibility over data pipelines, AI model behavior, and infrastructure health within a single platform. This acquisition aims to address challenges in monitoring AI-driven applications, promising more affordable and streamlined solutions by treating observability data like other enterprise data, according to Snowflake’s announcement. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XlAd95QPv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>North Korean hackers exploit QR codes for credential theft</strong>: The FBI attributes malicious QR code spear-phishing campaigns to North Korean state-sponsored hackers, Kimsuky/APT43, targeting U.S. think tanks, academic institutions, and government entities. These ‘quishing’ attacks use fake login pages for Microsoft 365, Okta, or VPNs to harvest credentials and bypass multi-factor authentication via session token theft. The use of QR codes allows attackers to circumvent traditional enterprise detection tools, as mobile devices often operate outside managed security perimeters, as detailed in FBI advisories. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XmPhFlPf5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>Google’s AI-powered Gmail overhaul: because you needed more AI in your inbox</strong>: Google is launching an AI-powered Gmail overhaul, promising a ‘proactive inbox assistant’ with AI Overviews, ‘Help Me Write,’ and ‘AI Inbox’ features, all powered by Gemini 3. While conversation summaries are free, the ‘advanced’ features will require a paid AI Pro or Ultra subscription. Because who doesn’t want to pay more for an AI to summarize emails you probably didn’t want to read in the first place, and then write replies that sound exactly like everyone else’s AI-generated drivel? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/8lOS5k1vH" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI is not replacing developers anytime soon, says expert (duh)</strong>: Stefan Mischook, a seasoned developer, confidently states that AI is not replacing developers anytime soon, citing AI’s lack of true logical reasoning, fragility with bad data, and inconsistent progress between versions. He argues that software development requires problem-solving and architectural decisions that AI simply can’t handle. It’s almost as if complex, creative work requires actual intelligence, not just pattern matching. Shocking, I know. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/4FklVf4AA" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GameStop’s grand strategy: close everything, pay CEO for market cap fantasy</strong>: GameStop is closing 390 stores in the US, exiting four European countries, and seeking buyers for operations in France and Canada, all while net sales dropped 27.5%. Meanwhile, CEO Ryan Cohen was awarded a $35 million performance incentive, contingent on raising GameStop’s market cap to $100 billion. So, the plan is to shrink the company into oblivion while hoping for a magical market cap surge? Sounds like a solid strategy, especially for a company that still exists. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/t6Y3Ssj5q" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
