<li><strong>AI coding agents are a security nightmare</strong>: The rapid adoption of AI coding agents, now embedded in chat platforms, is democratizing code creation but introducing severe security risks. With 85% of developers using AI tools and 41% of code being AI-generated, organizations face new threats like prompt injection, credential exposure, and code deployments bypassing review. This shift from IDEs to chat-based coding demands strict governance, tiered permissions, human approval for critical changes, and comprehensive audit trails, as highlighted by Security Boulevard. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/3wv1aKzIr" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Europe pushes back on US cloud dominance</strong>: Europe is taking significant steps to reduce its reliance on US cloud providers, which currently control about 70% of the region’s market. Citing concerns over service disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and data sovereignty, the EU is drafting a cloud sovereignty framework and a Cloud and AI Development Act. Countries like Germany, France, and Sweden are already developing sovereign digital platforms and replacing US software with open-source alternatives, according to multiple reports. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/BxeJ5ByjW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Hardware wallet scam nets $282M in crypto</strong>: A single victim lost approximately $282 million in Bitcoin and Litecoin due to a hardware wallet social engineering scam. The attacker quickly moved the stolen funds to Monero and bridged Bitcoin across multiple blockchains, complicating recovery. This incident, revealed by blockchain investigator ZachXBT, underscores the persistent risks of social engineering despite advancements in security measures, even as overall crypto exploit losses have declined. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/1fY01VpIR" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>AI coding agents struggle with novelty, apparently</strong>: Apparently, AI coding agents can’t generate truly novel solutions because they’re too busy regurgitating statistical patterns from their training data. So, if you want an unconventional game, you have to trick the LLM by calling checker pieces ‘UFOs’ instead of, you know, just telling it what you want. Who knew creativity was the bottleneck, not the AI itself, as reported by RUBYLAND? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/gov03HPhm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AI coding agents are electricity hogs, but don’t worry, it’s less than your dishwasher</strong>: Claude Code sessions use about 138 times more electricity than a typical chatbot query, with daily usage comparable to running a dishwasher. But don’t fret, it’s still less than driving a car or using air conditioning! So, while your AI assistant is busy burning through watts, just remember it’s for ‘productivity gains,’ not just for fun, according to Tech Lead Digest. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ex1Cm3GIg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Quantum cloning breakthrough, no-cloning theorem be damned</strong>: A new quantum protocol claims to enable ‘encrypted cloning’ of quantum states, supposedly circumventing the no-cloning theorem—a foundational limit in quantum mechanics. The article touts potential impacts on quantum data storage and security, but conveniently omits any technical details, independent verification, or even who made this ‘breakthrough.’ Sounds like someone found a loophole in physics, or maybe just a good PR person. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/z7OYuDS7t" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
