<li><strong>AI coding tools are still a mess, but getting faster</strong>: AI coding tools like Claude Code and GPT-5.2-Codex are getting faster and more capable, but still struggle with quality and architectural understanding. Experiments show they can generate code rapidly, but often introduce vulnerabilities and increase code complexity, as highlighted by Tenzai and a Carnegie Mellon study. Developers are finding success by using AI for specific, well-defined tasks and implementing rigorous human oversight and testing, rather than relying on them for full autonomy, according to The Coding Sloth and Cursor. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=BJsnyHclD&amp;id=BlB3n2pFk&amp;id=DdiXGTqPN&amp;id=EZUXhYwRZ&amp;id=EqMZfdLoq&amp;id=6VeClUR4w&amp;id=na9DuypUm&amp;id=j91dGf3TP&amp;id=jHrHB1kVi&amp;id=STWE5tRXe" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Google’s AI overview is hallucinating criminal accusations</strong>: Google’s AI Overview feature falsely accused Norwegian politicians of purchasing sexual services from minors, prompting Norway’s digitalization minister to demand an apology and a temporary shutdown of the AI model. Google claims such errors are ‘unavoidable’ given the scale of its services, but critics argue this deflects responsibility and highlights the need for stricter AI regulation and accountability, as reported by multiple Norwegian sources. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=Q0w5Vg6fk&amp;id=QiN4er8h3&amp;id=knSCj49Cn" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-generated malware is here and it’s advanced</strong>: Check Point Research has documented VoidLink, the first fully AI-generated advanced malware framework, written in Zig. This modular malware includes rootkits and cloud-targeting features, demonstrating that AI can now accelerate sophisticated cybercriminal capabilities. This shift removes previous time and resource barriers for advanced malware development, posing a significant new threat to cybersecurity, as detailed by Check Point Research. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=nLTC7GTyu&amp;id=TaWMZZCV9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI agents are just API automation in a fancy new hat</strong>: Apparently, ‘AI agents’ are the hot new thing, but let’s be real, they’re mostly just a rebranding of API automation and web scraping that’s been around for ages. The hype, according to ‘AI agents framed as rebranding of API automation,’ is driven by investors looking for new ways to financialize old tech. It’s like calling a fancy calculator a ‘math agent’ – same old math, new buzzword. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/4rJ96gwiU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI-generated code: the gift that keeps on giving… technical debt</strong>: AI coding tools are cranking out code faster than ever, but apparently, that speed comes at a cost: a mountain of technical debt and security vulnerabilities. Tenzai’s experiment found all 15 AI-generated apps had flaws, and a Carnegie Mellon study noted a 30% increase in static code analysis warnings. So, while your AI assistant might be a whiz at boilerplate, you’ll still need a human to clean up its ‘creative’ messes, as highlighted by ‘AI coding tools reshape developer roles, productivity, and code quality.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=BJsnyHclD&amp;id=BlB3n2pFk&amp;id=DdiXGTqPN&amp;id=EZUXhYwRZ&amp;id=EqMZfdLoq&amp;id=6VeClUR4w&amp;id=GMebRSJNP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI productivity: the emperor’s new clothes for developers</strong>: Some folks are claiming AI tools give developers ‘over 10 hours of weekly time savings’ and boost productivity by 55%. Yet, other reports suggest developers using AI are actually 19% slower and code review times have increased by 91%. It seems the ‘AI productivity’ narrative is more about wishful thinking and marketing hype than actual, sustained gains, as noted by ‘AI coding assistants lead to increased productivity metrics but lower code quality and slower delivery.’ Maybe we should just call it ‘AI-assisted busywork.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=gMHZMigM0&amp;id=5khP9Wt37&amp;id=jSgoQLSoF&amp;id=wzh6JIlVF" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
