<li><strong>Kubernetes RCE flaw identified, fix delayed</strong>: Edera Advisory identified 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 are urged to scan for RCE attempts and implement fine-grained authorization controls to mitigate risk, 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 companies explore major mergers for AI and space dominance</strong>: Elon Musk’s SpaceX, xAI, and potentially Tesla are in early merger discussions to form a trillion-dollar super-company. The proposed consolidation aims to combine rockets, satellites, AI, and electric vehicles, with a key rationale being the development of space-based AI data centers to reduce model training costs. This move could also strengthen Pentagon contracts and military AI integration, though building data centers in space is noted as a risky proposition given AI’s rapid evolution. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/wMYF638eZ" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Meta escalates AI infrastructure investment to $135 billion</strong>: Meta plans to invest a staggering $115-135 billion in AI infrastructure in 2026, nearly doubling its 2025 investment.

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>

<li><strong>Container security: developers prefer hardened images, but don’t prioritize security</strong>: A BellSoft survey found that nearly a quarter of developers experienced container-related security incidents last year, with human error being the primary cause. Developers ‘prefer’ pre-hardened images, yet 86% of organizations prioritize performance over security when selecting base images. So, everyone wants security, but nobody wants to actually <em>do</em> security or pay for it. Classic. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/I55IVTrKU" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>GDC report: AI adoption up, layoffs up, industry confused</strong>: The 2026 GDC report highlights a 17% increase in game industry layoffs and 52% of respondents believing generative AI harms the industry. Yet, generative AI adoption grew to 36%. So, AI is bad, but everyone’s still using it, and people are losing jobs. Sounds like a perfectly sustainable model for the future of gaming. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/REyf1LA3H" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
