<li><strong>Tailwind CSS revenue collapses due to AI, leading to layoffs</strong>: Tailwind Labs, the creator of Tailwind CSS, laid off 75% of its engineering team after an 80% revenue drop. CEO Adam Wathan attributes this to AI tools generating Tailwind code and answering developer questions, bypassing their documentation—which was crucial for monetizing paid products. This situation highlights a growing crisis for open-source projects whose business models rely on documentation traffic, as reported by multiple tech news outlets. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=LLQ1zfubn&amp;id=f3fYMXuKZ&amp;id=RuMhQtj6W&amp;id=tFhv6QoOp&amp;id=d57ILPjBN&amp;id=re8TItYuD&amp;id=eugOrAHSX&amp;id=u4S1Vnazf&amp;id=mpCeVdjI4&amp;id=WagqERKHJ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<li><strong>OpenAI launches ChatGPT Health: your medical records, their encryption keys, what could go wrong?</strong>: OpenAI just dropped ChatGPT Health, letting you upload your entire medical history and wellness app data. They promise it’s encrypted and not used for training, but guess who holds the encryption keys? OpenAI. And while they say it won’t diagnose, there are already documented cases of AI giving dangerously wrong medical advice. So, go ahead, trust your sensitive health data to a system known for ‘hallucinations’ and a company that retains ultimate control. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/52NiUSgqi" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>India demands smartphone source code: ‘trust us, we don’t want it’ (wink, wink)</strong>: India’s IT ministry is proposing 83 new security standards for smartphone makers, including sharing device source code and retaining logs for 12 months. Publicly, they deny wanting source code, but Reuters reports internal documents say otherwise. It’s a classic ‘we’re just consulting’ move, while simultaneously demanding unprecedented access to proprietary tech. What could possibly go wrong with a government having access to everyone’s phone’s deepest secrets? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/C0BEamxdR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>CES 2026: the AI washing machine and other ‘innovations’ nobody asked for</strong>: CES 2026 was apparently a festival of ‘AI-washing,’ where every gadget from hair clippers to ice makers suddenly became ‘AI-powered.’ We saw a $500 AI noise-reducing ice maker and a $399 ultrasonic vibrating chef’s knife. Because clearly, what we needed was more AI in our kitchen appliances, not, you know, actual useful innovation. And let’s not forget the unstable prototype robots that are still years away from doing anything practical. The future is here, and it’s mostly just marketing fluff. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=egxVXviN9&amp;id=UyBvDFk8k&amp;id=Ixfjkj22m&amp;id=JD2EKdv97&amp;id=JidpOB81f&amp;id=kSFt8BS4h&amp;id=m5CiXYOTI&amp;id=pvTnfXARM&amp;id=ucJKsXBcW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
