<li><strong>Meta goes nuclear for AI data centers</strong>: Meta has inked deals with Vistra, Oklo, and TerraPower to secure 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 plants, with more capacity planned. Oklo and TerraPower, both SMR startups, are slated to deliver 1.2 GW and 2.8 GW respectively by the early 2030s. This move signals a major shift in the tech sector towards long-term nuclear power procurement, though the cost-effectiveness of SMRs remains unproven. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/1sXfoaLc2" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>North Korean hackers weaponize QR codes for credential theft</strong>: The FBI reports that North Korean state-sponsored hackers (Kimsuky/APT43) are using malicious QR codes in spear-phishing campaigns to steal credentials from U.S. think tanks, academic institutions, and government entities. These ‘quishing’ attacks bypass traditional security tools by redirecting mobile users to fake login pages for services like Microsoft 365 and Okta, enabling session token theft. The FBI, as reported by Security Boulevard, warns that mobile devices often operate outside enterprise monitoring, making this a potent threat. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XmPhFlPf5" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Snowflake acquires Observe for AIops observability</strong>: Snowflake is acquiring Observe, an AI-based SRE platform, to enhance its observability offerings, specifically for diagnosing and managing production AI systems. The goal is to unify visibility over data pipelines, AI model behavior, and infrastructure health within Snowflake’s Data Cloud. This aims to address challenges in monitoring AI-driven applications and promises cost benefits over traditional vendors like Datadog and Splunk by treating telemetry data as regular data. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/XlAd95QPv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI agents need managers, because apparently, they’re just like us</strong>: Addy Osmani suggests that the highest-leverage developers will become ‘async-first managers’ for their AI coding agents, delegating tasks and performing verification loops. Because nothing says ‘cutting-edge AI’ like needing a middle manager to make sure it doesn’t screw up. It’s almost as if these ‘agents’ aren’t quite the autonomous geniuses we’ve been promised, and still require human babysitting. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/tmcYDkbnT" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI is not replacing developers, says guy who teaches people to code</strong>: Stefan Mischook, a guy who probably benefits from people learning to code, confidently declares that AI isn’t replacing developers anytime soon. He points to AI’s ‘fragility’ and ‘inconsistent progress’ as proof. It’s almost like he’s trying to reassure his audience that their jobs are safe, despite the fact that AI is clearly eating into certain aspects of development work. Keep telling yourself that, Stefan. <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 millions</strong>: GameStop is closing 390 stores in the US, exiting four European countries, and trying to sell off 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 the market cap to $100 billion. It’s a bold strategy: dismantle the company, reward the leadership, and hope for a miracle.
