<li><strong>Meta goes nuclear for AI infrastructure</strong>: Meta is partnering with Vistra, TerraPower, and Oklo to secure up to 6.6 GW of nuclear energy by 2035. This massive investment aims to power Meta’s expanding AI infrastructure and data centers, particularly the Prometheus supercluster in Ohio. The move highlights the extreme energy demands of large-scale AI, with Meta positioning nuclear power as a clean and reliable solution, according to their official announcement. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/elp6Y0W2r" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>India’s smartphone security demands spark industry outcry</strong>: India is proposing 83 new smartphone security standards, including source code access and 12-month device log storage, which Apple, Samsung, Google, and Xiaomi are vehemently opposing. Industry players call these demands unprecedented and a risk to proprietary technology, while the Indian IT ministry publicly denies seeking source code, despite leaked documents suggesting otherwise, as reported by Reuters. This creates significant regulatory uncertainty in a major market. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/C0BEamxdR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>EU pushes open source as critical infrastructure</strong>: The European Commission has launched a consultation to classify open source software as ‘critical infrastructure,’ aiming to reduce reliance on US tech giants. The strategy seeks to shift support towards large-scale, real-world deployments in areas like cloud, AI, and cybersecurity, fostering EU-based alternatives. This initiative signals a strategic pivot towards digital autonomy, prioritizing open source for national security and economic benefit. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/nSTd14JQu" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI code generation: 70-90% of production code, or 100% marketing fluff?</strong>: Apparently, AI code generation tools now create 70-90% of production code, according to some unnamed report. The article then proceeds to tell developers they’re ‘falling behind’ if they’re not treating AI as core infrastructure. Funny how these claims always lack specific data sources or named companies actually achieving this, but are full of FOMO-inducing rhetoric. Maybe the real ‘core engineering skillset’ is discerning hype from reality. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/LeN1TdPNx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GenAI project failure rate: 80% due to ‘infrastructure gaps,’ not model hype</strong>: An anonymous author claims 80% of GenAI projects fail, not because the models are overhyped, but due to a lack of ‘production-ready infrastructure.’ They then list seven ‘essential’ folders like config management and prompt versioning. So, the problem isn’t the shiny new AI, it’s just that nobody knows how to build software anymore? Or maybe, just maybe, the models aren’t quite as magical as the marketing suggests, and robust engineering can’t fix a fundamentally flawed premise. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=ExsMXw27a&amp;id=yocwu10Ql" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Instagram’s password reset party: No breach, just ‘technical issues’ and ‘external parties’</strong>: Millions of Instagram users got unexpected password reset emails, and Malwarebytes claims to have found a 17.5 million account dataset on the dark web. But don’t worry, Meta says there’s ‘no system breach’ and it was just an ‘external party’ exploiting a ‘technical issue.’ So, not a breach, just a massive, widespread incident that looks exactly like a breach, but isn’t. Got it. Just ignore those emails, and maybe enable 2FA, because ‘secure’ means ‘you handle it.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/MEOecqk3z" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
