<li><strong>TSMC sees endless AI chip demand, plans massive investment</strong>: TSMC reported record Q4 earnings for 2025, with revenue up 25.5% year-over-year, and forecasts 30% growth for 2026, driven by what its CEO calls “endless” demand for AI chips. The company plans $52-56 billion in capital expenditures for 2026, with up to 80% dedicated to advanced process nodes like 7nm and 2nm, indicating a strong commitment to cutting-edge AI manufacturing. Major customers like Apple, Nvidia, and AMD are reportedly booking production slots years in advance, signaling sustained industry confidence, according to TSMC’s official financial reporting. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/aTc9ls9yL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Critical WordPress plugin vulnerability grants admin access</strong>: A critical privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2026-23550) in the Modular DS WordPress plugin, affecting versions 2.5.1 and below, allows unauthenticated attackers to gain instant admin access. The flaw, with a CVSS score of 10.0, stems from faulty API routing logic and is actively being exploited. With over 40,000 WordPress sites estimated to be vulnerable, administrators are urged to update to version 2.5.2 immediately and audit for unauthorized accounts. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/D6wKV3WK1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>OpenAI and Microsoft face jury trial over nonprofit mission</strong>: Elon Musk’s lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft, alleging a breach of OpenAI’s founding nonprofit mission, is heading to a jury trial. A federal judge rejected motions to dismiss from both companies, meaning a jury will now decide if OpenAI prioritized profits over its original commitments and if Microsoft aided in those alleged breaches. This legal battle centers on the organizational shift to a for-profit model and the adherence to OpenAI’s stated mission. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/pwpD2QRjm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>OpenAI’s targeted ads: free access or just more data mining?</strong>: OpenAI is rolling out targeted ads for free and Go ChatGPT users in the U.S., claiming it’s to support ‘free access’ and generate revenue. They assure us ads won’t influence responses and user data won’t be sold, but these claims come directly from OpenAI, with no independent verification. So, we’re supposed to just trust that the AI overlords, who are already losing billions, have our best interests at heart while monetizing every conversation? How quaint. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/DQh9IAXNl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-powered coding: the ultimate productivity hack or just more debugging?</strong>: Developers are gushing about AI tools like Claude cutting development time from a day to an hour for simple CLI tools. Yet, the same developers admit AI struggles with ‘nuanced software requirements’ like robust resume functions, requiring manual intervention. So, AI handles the easy stuff, and we’re still stuck with the hard parts? Sounds like a great way to generate more boilerplate code and then spend twice as long debugging the AI’s ‘creative’ solutions. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=SqdiiasJQ&amp;id=YfWBhNQB7" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Enterprise AI: just throw money at it, what could go wrong?</strong>: A survey claims over half of enterprise AI projects are delayed or canceled due to ‘infrastructure issues,’ with 66% finding their AI environments ‘excessively complex.’ Meanwhile, MIT research suggests 95% of organizations see ‘zero measurable returns’ from generative AI. Apparently, simply deploying AI agents at an 82:1 ratio to humans isn’t enough. Who knew that throwing cutting-edge tech at a mountain of technical debt wouldn’t magically produce ROI? Shocking. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=k12AAd1Ej&amp;id=tr8ZpGHVk&amp;id=31oswUgqu&amp;id=96JMSYGET&amp;id=zsNUfuuUT" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
