<li><strong>Apple taps Google Gemini for Siri and AI features</strong>: Apple has partnered with Google to integrate Gemini AI models and cloud infrastructure into Siri and other AI features, with a revamped Siri expected later in 2026. This multi-year, non-exclusive deal, reportedly costing Apple around $1 billion annually, follows Apple’s evaluation of models from OpenAI and Anthropic, as reported by Mac-centric and business tech outlets. The move comes as Google’s market cap briefly surpassed Apple’s, highlighting the intense competition in the AI space. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/joVK7B34Z" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Hyperscale AI data centers demand next-gen nuclear power</strong>: The explosion of hyperscale AI data centers, housing hundreds of thousands of GPUs, is creating an unprecedented demand for electricity, with each facility requiring over a gigawatt. This massive energy consumption, currently over 50% fossil-fuel-based, is driving significant interest in advanced nuclear options like small modular reactors (SMRs) to provide cleaner, more efficient power. This shift is not just about energy, but also about addressing community impacts like water shortages and noise pollution, as detailed in industry reports. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=bf0xB32y7&amp;id=qk040xtMi" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft retires MDT, pushes cloud-dependent deployment</strong>: Microsoft has abruptly retired the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), a 20-year-old tool for Windows deployment, without a transition period. This forces organizations to adopt more complex, cloud-integrated solutions like Windows Autopilot or Configuration Manager OSD, which users find less accessible and independent. This move, coupled with limited admin control over the Copilot app, signals Microsoft’s aggressive push towards cloud-first and AI-centric management, potentially leaving MDT users exposed to security risks due to lack of updates. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=0sSu27x90&amp;id=8WMJpirC0" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Anthropic restricts Claude access, OpenAI swoops in</strong>: Anthropic, in a brilliant move to ‘control the value chain,’ decided to restrict OAuth access for third-party coding agents like OpenCode, forcing them into higher-cost API access. Naturally, OpenAI, ever the benevolent overlord, immediately announced official support for using ChatGPT subscriptions in OpenCode. So, Anthropic alienates its users, and OpenAI gets to look like the good guy. Who could have seen that coming? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=8dtXe7P09&amp;id=eRi1VQ5SP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI code generation: cheap code, expensive problems</strong>: LLM tools like Claude Code make code generation fast and accessible, even for ‘non-developers.’ But apparently, building reliable, maintainable, and scalable software still requires actual expertise. Salesforce learned this the hard way, laying off 4,000 experienced staff to replace them with AI, only to reverse course three months later because AI systems ‘failed to match the reliability and effectiveness of human expertise.’ Who knew that ‘vibe coding’ wasn’t a substitute for, you know, engineering? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=BCKlippws&amp;id=aKgPqgLac" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Interview Coder leaks user data, because security is for suckers</strong>: Interview Coder, an AI-powered job interview platform, decided to publicly expose user data, including full names, offer letters, and compensation, on its homepage via poorly redacted PDFs. This isn’t their first rodeo either, with a prior leak of API keys on GitHub. It’s almost as if they’re trying to prove that AI-powered platforms can be just as careless with security as the humans they’re supposedly replacing. Good job, Interview Coder, you’re really building trust in the AI-driven future. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=UnvBaUcPK&amp;id=wA63z9DYQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
