<li><strong>NVIDIA GTC 2026 pivots to massive scale inference</strong>: NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang unveiled the Vera CPU and Vera Rubin GPU architecture, claiming a 3.5x speedup in training and 5x in inference over Blackwell. A strategic partnership with Groq integrates their LPU technology for ‘decode’ acceleration, signaling a shift from training dominance to large-scale agentic deployment. Microsoft Azure and other hyperscalers have already powered on these NVL72 systems to support trillion-parameter models. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=A6SkRNnSZ&amp;id=B4qhMcdbs&amp;id=CuNn0C5bn&amp;id=qCGriss0W" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>DLSS 5 introduces neural rendering and artistic controversy</strong>: NVIDIA announced DLSS 5, which moves beyond upscaling to generate lighting and materials via real-time neural inference. While it achieves photorealism in titles like Resident Evil: Requiem, early demos have faced criticism for altering character faces and changing the original artistic intent. NVIDIA released an FAQ detailing developer controls to mask objects and anchor AI output to original color data to mitigate the ‘AI-filtered’ look. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/te2HRAtVx" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Recursive Language Models bypass context window limits</strong>: A new Recursive Language Model (RLM) architecture treats the LLM context window as an external environment, using a root model to orchestrate sub-calls over data slices. This approach handles up to 10 million tokens without loading them into the model context, effectively mitigating ‘context rot’ and performance degradation. In benchmarks, RLM with GPT-5 achieved a 58% score on dense reasoning tasks where GPT-5 alone scored under 0.1%. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/nP44MMKRG" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The vibe coding performance review threat</strong>: Ramp’s CPO Geoff Charles is now claiming that engineers who don’t use AI tools like Claude Code are ‘probably underperforming’ and might not have a seat at the table. It’s a classic management move: replace rigorous engineering metrics with ‘vibes’ and use AI adoption as a convenient pretext for performance-based churn. Never mind that unreviewed AI code is already causing a ‘reckoning’ of 2,000x slower performance in enterprise apps. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=jtg4nZu8t&amp;id=VhO7qnQpo" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>ChatGPT as a legal consultant for wage theft</strong>: In a Delaware court ruling, it was revealed that Krafton’s CEO literally consulted ChatGPT to find ways to avoid paying a $250 million earnout bonus to developers. The court wasn’t impressed by the ‘AI made me do it’ defense, dismissing Krafton’s pretextual firings and ordering the immediate reinstatement of the Unknown Worlds CEO. It turns out LLMs are great at hallucinating legal loopholes that don’t actually exist in employment law. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/wVjQNYbQm" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Meta’s $2 billion child safety shell game</strong>: A researcher uncovered Meta’s massive lobbying effort to force Apple and Google into OS-level identity fingerprinting under the guise of ‘age verification.’ By using nonprofit shell organizations, Meta is pushing for legislation that conveniently exempts its own platforms while creating a persistent tracking layer for everyone else. It’s a masterclass in using ‘think of the children’ as a $2 billion moat to protect their data harvesting business. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fR7Petd3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
