<li><strong>Apple and Google team up for AI-powered Siri</strong>: Apple is partnering with Google to integrate Gemini models and cloud infrastructure into Siri, aiming for a major AI overhaul. This multi-year, non-exclusive deal, reportedly costing Apple $1 billion annually, will power Apple Intelligence features across billions of devices. The move sidelines OpenAI’s ChatGPT for complex queries and highlights Apple’s reliance on external AI partners, as reported by TechCrunch and Bloomberg. The upgraded Siri is expected to launch publicly in spring 2026. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/joVK7B34Z" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>BreachForums data leak exposes 324,000 users</strong>: BreachForums, a notorious cybercrime marketplace, suffered a data breach in August 2025, with details publicly exposed in January 2026. The leak compromised nearly 324,000 user records, including usernames, emails, IP addresses, and hashed passwords. The hacker, ‘James,’ claims disillusionment with the forum’s members, particularly the ShinyHunters group. Resecurity confirmed the data’s authenticity, noting it could aid law enforcement in identifying users who believed they were anonymous. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/iWBcNtvCe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI agents get security frameworks and new threats</strong>: New security frameworks like Palo Alto Networks’ SHIELD are emerging to secure AI-powered coding tools, emphasizing separation from production, human code reviews, and input/output validation. This comes as AI agents increasingly use external tools, creating new safety challenges. Meanwhile, the GoBruteforcer botnet is exploiting weak credentials, including those generated by LLMs, to target crypto projects and Linux servers, highlighting the evolving threat landscape for AI-driven systems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=C2L9HfyK4&amp;id=wA63z9DYQ&amp;id=nO4oxH8nA&amp;id=CuSSpmwf6&amp;id=EDYtMcTfL&amp;id=JuPUyAfNx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI infrastructure: hundreds of billions for data centers, zero accountability for impact</strong>: Apparently, hyperscale AI data centers are consuming ‘hundreds of billions’ in investment and over a gigawatt of electricity each, with more than 50% from fossil fuels. The articles dutifully report the rising energy costs, water shortages, noise, and air pollution for local communities, but offer no real solutions or accountability from the tech giants. It’s almost as if ‘AI for good’ doesn’t apply when it comes to the actual environmental and social costs of running these digital behemoths. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=bf0xB32y7&amp;id=qk040xtMi&amp;id=dJDy4tUxK&amp;id=oJJhQtHHE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI coding tools: the new ‘productivity’ that requires more human oversight</strong>: We’re told GenAI tools are reshaping software engineering, but apparently, they only ‘accelerate defect accumulation’ in organizations with weak feedback loops. So, the tools that are supposed to make us more efficient actually make things worse if your processes aren’t perfect. And now, engineers are shifting from ‘code producers to supervisors of AI systems,’ which sounds suspiciously like more work, not less, especially when you consider the ‘documented risks’ of prompt injection and unintended file deletion. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=MU6fGtVLh&amp;id=hHTJdKyX8&amp;id=TLkxIySjV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google’s AI health summaries: dangerous misinformation, selective fixes</strong>: Google’s AI Overviews were caught providing ‘dangerous and inaccurate medical information’ about liver test results, leading to a Guardian investigation. Google’s response? Disable <em>some</em> problematic searches, while many others with similar risks remain. Their defense is that ‘most’ AI Overview information is accurate and ‘reviewed by clinicians,’ which is reassuring, unless you’re one of the people who got bad advice. It’s almost like relying on an LLM for medical advice without rigorous, independent validation is a bad idea.
