<li><strong>Kubernetes RCE flaw identified, fix delayed</strong>: Edera Advisory has uncovered a critical design flaw in Kubernetes that allows remote code execution (RCE) in any container on a node via commonly used <code>nodes/proxy GET</code> permissions. While the problematic permission is slated for removal in Kubernetes 1.36, expected in April 2025, many production clusters will take months or years to update, leaving them vulnerable. Organizations should implement fine-grained authorization controls and regularly scan for RCE attempts, as reported by Edera Advisory. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/phMyeDnVg" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Musk’s companies eye trillion-dollar merger</strong>: Elon Musk’s SpaceX, xAI, and potentially Tesla are in early discussions to merge, aiming to create a trillion-dollar super-company. The proposed consolidation, which could see SpaceX and xAI combine before SpaceX’s IPO, seeks to integrate rockets, satellites, AI, and electric vehicles. A key driver is the plan for space-based AI data centers to reduce model training costs, as reported by multiple sources including TechCrunch and Bloomberg. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/wMYF638eZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Microsoft’s Xbox gaming division in decline</strong>: Microsoft’s Xbox gaming division reported significant declines in Q2 FY26, with console sales down 32% and overall gaming revenue dropping 9% year-over-year. This marks the sixth consecutive year of declining Xbox console sales, following price increases and multiple layoffs throughout 2025. Despite strong performance in cloud services, Microsoft expects continued declines in Q3, according to their official Q2 FY26 earnings report. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/uKbAAElcM" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>Google DeepMind’s Project Genie: infinite worlds, limited reality</strong>: Google DeepMind launched Project Genie, an ‘experimental web prototype’ that generates ‘infinite, interactive environments’ using their Genie 3 world model. While it sounds like a game-changer for game prototyping and AGI (of course), it struggles with photorealism, object interaction, and is limited to 60-second generations. Meanwhile, 52% of game developers now believe AI negatively impacts their field, probably because they’re too busy being laid off to appreciate Google’s ‘whimsical’ claymation worlds. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/iit38VC43" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Meta’s Reality Labs: still losing billions, now with more AI!</strong>: Meta’s Reality Labs reported another $19.2 billion in losses for FY25, bringing its total deficit to a cool $83.6 billion since 2020. But don’t worry, Mark Zuckerberg says FY25 will be ‘peak losses’ as they pivot to ‘AI-integrated wearables’ and bring Horizon to mobile. Because nothing says ‘we’ve learned our lesson’ like doubling down on a money pit and slapping ‘AI’ on it. At least they cut 10% of staff, so that’s something. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/ALCffHVkc" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Meta’s AI infrastructure: spending like a small country, for ‘personal superintelligence’</strong>: Meta plans to invest a staggering $115-135 billion in AI infrastructure in 2026, nearly doubling last year’s spend. This colossal sum, comparable to Kenya’s GDP, is apparently for ‘personal superintelligence’ agents and integrating LLMs with ad platforms. They’re even signing nuclear energy agreements. Because when you’re losing billions on the metaverse, the obvious solution is to spend even more on AI, hoping it magically makes the ad revenue flow. What could possibly go wrong with that much compute power in Zuckerberg’s hands? <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/JHGPGk0MW" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
