<li><strong>AI is reshaping enterprise IT and outsourcing</strong>: India’s top IT outsourcers (HCL, Infosys, TCS, Wipro) have drastically cut hiring, adding only 3,910 employees last year, a stark contrast to previous quarters. This shift aligns with increased AI adoption for internal processes and client services, with a focus on AI-specific skills. Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Copilot AI is consuming significant capacity units on Fabric platforms, leading to unexpected cloud resource costs for users, as reported by Microsoft. This indicates a clear industry trend where AI integration is prioritizing over traditional labor expansion, but with new operational cost considerations. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=DLuyoqNjG&amp;id=nKPk64Gpl" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AMD CPUs vulnerable to StackWarp attack</strong>: A new hardware vulnerability, StackWarp (CVE-2025-29943), affects AMD Zen 1–5 CPUs, including EPYC 7003, 8004, 9004, and 9005 series. This flaw allows privileged attackers to bypass SEV-SNP (Secure Encrypted Virtualization – Secure Nested Paging) protections in confidential virtual machines by manipulating the CPU stack engine. AMD has released microcode updates and plans further firmware patches, advising users to disable 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>Malicious Chrome extensions steal enterprise session tokens</strong>: Five Chrome extensions, disguised as productivity tools, were found stealing authentication session tokens from enterprise HR and ERP platforms like Workday, NetSuite, and SuccessFactors. Socket.dev researchers reported that these extensions exfiltrated cookies, bypassing credentials and multi-factor authentication. Google was notified, but the extensions had already been installed by thousands, enabling attackers to access accounts with full user privileges. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/3ImoRkfEG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI agents: the new ‘psychosis’ or just bad engineering?</strong>: Changelog News is apparently worried about ‘AI agent psychosis,’ a fancy term for when AI agents act erratic in production. Meanwhile, <a href="http://Monday.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Monday.com</a> just built a Slack bot using LLM agents and solved their ‘hallucination’ problem by, get this, pre-computing statistics server-side. So, is it psychosis, or just a lack of basic engineering rigor and proper data validation? Seems like some folks are still trying to make AI sound more mysterious than it is. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=AJzG7x8FZ&amp;id=AS53pzdrZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Sequoia Capital: ‘conflict of interest’ is so last decade</strong>: Sequoia Capital, apparently bored with traditional venture capital norms, is now investing in Anthropic’s $25 billion round, despite already holding stakes in OpenAI and xAI. Remember when they forfeited a $21 million investment to avoid conflict with Stripe? Good times. Now, with new leadership, it seems ‘investing in direct competitors’ is the new ‘diversification.’ Sam Altman must be thrilled about his investors sharing confidential info with rivals. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s all about the money, and ‘norms’ are just suggestions. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/yuiHTajaU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>NVIDIA’s alleged ‘pirate’ AI training: because legal datasets are for amateurs</strong>: In a shocking twist, NVIDIA is being sued by authors who claim the company allegedly contacted Anna’s Archive, a well-known pirate library, to access millions of copyrighted books for AI training. Apparently, NVIDIA executives even approved this ‘collaboration’ despite warnings about its legality. Who needs to license data when you can just, you know, ‘access’ it? It’s almost like some tech giants think copyright laws are merely suggestions when it comes to feeding their hungry AI models. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/2IcgLruSE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
