<li><strong>AI agents are here, but so are the headaches</strong>: AI agents are now capable of complex research and data analysis, but their real-world deployment is proving tricky. <a href="http://Monday.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Monday.com</a>, for instance, had to pre-compute statistics server-side to prevent LLM hallucinations when querying platform data, as reported by Changelog News. This highlights the ongoing challenge of ensuring reliability and preventing ‘AI agent psychosis’ in production, requiring robust engineering and human oversight to avoid erratic behavior. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=AJzG7x8FZ&amp;id=AS53pzdrZ&amp;id=ATZPMmQn8&amp;id=NG1jOcpWT" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AMD’s SEV-SNP security bypassed by new StackWarp vulnerability</strong>: A new hardware vulnerability, StackWarp (CVE-2025-29943), has been discovered in AMD Zen 1–5 CPUs, allowing privileged attackers to bypass SEV-SNP protections in confidential virtual machines. This exploit manipulates the CPU stack engine to hijack control flow without reading encrypted VM memory. While AMD has released microcode updates, this seriously undermines a key security feature and requires immediate patching and potential hyperthreading disabling on critical systems. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/9DURDnZX3" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Enterprise AI pilots are mostly failing to launch</strong>: Despite widespread interest, 70% of enterprise AI pilots never make it to production, with only 5% delivering measurable business value. The problem isn’t the AI models themselves, but fragmented infrastructure, data accessibility issues, and rigid integration pathways. IDC predicts that by 2027, 75% of global businesses will adopt composable and sovereign AI architectures to overcome these challenges, emphasizing cost savings and data ownership. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=QJmBgvguS&amp;id=zDjVyaxS1&amp;id=ing2AgJbz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sequoia Capital: Because conflicting interests are just ‘diversification’ now</strong>: Sequoia Capital, already invested in OpenAI and xAI, is now throwing money at Anthropic’s $25 billion round. Apparently, the old VC rule about not funding direct competitors is out the window, or maybe they just really like hedging their bets on which AI overlord will win. Sam Altman must be thrilled about his investors sharing secrets with the competition, or maybe he’s just too busy counting his own billions to care. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/yuiHTajaU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>NVIDIA allegedly training AI on pirated books: Because ethics are for the little guys</strong>: NVIDIA is being sued by authors who claim the company explicitly sought access to millions of copyrighted books from Anna’s Archive, a known pirate library, for AI training. The lawsuit alleges NVIDIA executives approved this, despite warnings about the illegal content. It seems when you’re a tech giant, ‘intellectual property’ is just a suggestion, especially if it helps you build bigger, better AI models. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2IcgLruSE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI coding tools: The more things change, the more they stay the same (but faster)</strong>: AI coding tools are supposedly revolutionizing development, but according to various reports, they’re mostly just amplifying existing processes. They’re great for rapid prototyping but struggle with complexity, often generating lower-quality code for nuanced tasks. So, while you might get code faster, you’ll still be spending plenty of time fixing its ‘creative’ interpretations, proving that human oversight is still very much in vogue. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=3DI7vnha4&amp;id=ATZPMmQn8&amp;id=DdiXGTqPN&amp;id=L2hSWhbgY&amp;id=LJqUceZbE&amp;id=Y8gY63ibF&amp;id=aGFVTrinz&amp;id=aKVj0i6Bm&amp;id=j91dGf3TP&amp;id=tJZLXej6S" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
