<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>AI coding agents: the new zero-click exploit vector</strong>: Apparently, AI coding agents in VS Code and Cursor can be compromised by malicious <code>tasks.json</code> files, leading to zero-click exploits that exfiltrate API keys and passwords. So, while we’re all busy debating if AI will take our jobs, it might just be taking our credentials first. Who needs a sophisticated attack when you can just open a folder? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/YV7AnAdiX" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5: now a certified hacker</strong>: Anthropic proudly announced that Claude Sonnet 4.5 can execute multi-stage network attacks using standard open-source tools, even simulating the Equifax breach. They say it highlights the need for prompt vulnerability patching, but it sounds more like they’re just showing off their new toy’s ability to cause chaos.

<li><strong>AI’s economic impact: just circulate the value, bro</strong>: A recent article suggests AI’s economic benefits hinge on ‘broad circulation of value,’ not just productivity gains. Apparently, if AI replaces jobs, demand could ‘collapse’ unless companies reinvest in workers and governments update tax structures. It’s almost as if they’re suggesting that unchecked technological advancement without social planning might have consequences. Shocking, I know. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/WBulLXZDP" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
