<li><strong>AI agents are getting real, but so are the headaches</strong>: AI agents are now capable of complex research, analyzing thousands of papers, and generating reports autonomously, boosting productivity significantly. However, this comes with a new set of challenges, including ‘AI agent psychosis’—erratic behavior in production—and the need for robust engineering practices to mitigate hallucinations, as highlighted by <a href="http://Monday.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Monday.com</a>’s experience with their Slack-integrated bot. The shift demands clear specifications and human oversight, akin to managing junior developers, to ensure reliability and prevent unintended consequences, according to Import AI. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=AJzG7x8FZ&amp;id=AS53pzdrZ&amp;id=ATZPMmQn8&amp;id=NG1jOcpWT&amp;id=3DI7vnha4&amp;id=aKVj0i6Bm&amp;id=j91dGf3TP&amp;id=uk2RkuMbT" 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 the previously robust SEV-SNP protections for confidential virtual machines. This exploit manipulates the CPU stack engine to hijack control flow without needing to read encrypted VM memory. AMD has released microcode updates, with more firmware patches expected, and advises disabling hyperthreading on critical systems as a temporary mitigation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/9DURDnZX3" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>NVIDIA accused of training AI on pirated books</strong>: NVIDIA is facing allegations in an amended lawsuit that its executives actively sought and used millions of copyrighted books from pirate libraries like Anna’s Archive for AI model training. The lawsuit claims NVIDIA was explicitly warned about the illegal nature of the content but proceeded anyway, also utilizing other known piracy sources such as Books3 and Sci-Hub. This could have significant implications for AI ethics and intellectual property rights, as reported by TorrentFreak. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2IcgLruSE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI coding tools: the productivity paradox</strong>: Apparently, AI coding tools are reshaping development, with some developers seeing productivity boosts while others, especially experienced open-source devs, find minimal gains or even slowdowns. It seems the ‘magic’ of AI code generation often requires more time verifying and cleaning up than it saves, proving that even AI can’t escape the fundamental truth: there’s no such thing as a free lunch, or free code for that matter. Maybe we should just call it ‘AI-assisted busywork.’ <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>
<li><strong>The internet is dead, long live the bots</strong>: The ‘Dead Internet Theory’ suggests that since 2016, the internet is mostly bots talking to bots, generating content and interactions that mimic human behavior. A HackerNews thread even sparked reflections on whether an open-source project’s code and author comments were AI-generated, despite denials. So, next time you’re scrolling, just remember: you might be arguing with a very convincing algorithm, and the internet has officially become a digital echo chamber of its former self. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/JjrjV7tSv" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>ERP systems: satisfied, but not the future?</strong>: A survey of over 4,000 C-suite executives reveals a fascinating contradiction: 97% are satisfied with their current ERP systems, yet 70% believe these systems aren’t the future. It seems executives are perfectly happy with the status quo while simultaneously planning its demise. Perhaps they’re just waiting for autonomous, AI-driven systems to magically appear and solve all their problems, or maybe they just enjoy the thrill of vendor lock-in with Oracle and SAP. Either way, the future of ERP sounds like a delightful mess. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=QJmBgvguS&amp;id=zDjVyaxS1" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
