<li><strong>Cloudflare challenges Vercel with AI built Next.js clone</strong>: Cloudflare has released Vinext, a reimplementation of the Next.js API surface built on Vite that was reportedly developed in one week using $1,100 in AI tokens. According to Cloudflare, the project passes 94% of Next.js tests while offering 4x faster builds and 57% smaller client bundles by bypassing Turbopack. This move directly targets deployment friction on non-Vercel platforms and introduces traffic-aware pre-rendering to optimize static site generation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=kuvbBXUUR&amp;id=5XUEq41aC" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Anthropic and OpenAI split over military AI guardrails</strong>: A rift has opened between major AI labs regarding Pentagon contracts, with Anthropic being designated a supply-chain threat by the administration after refusing to remove safety guardrails against autonomous weapons use. While OpenAI signed a Department of War deal, CEO Sam Altman publicly defended Anthropic’s stance on red lines for mass surveillance and lethal autonomy. Reports from sources like xURdvgDug suggest OpenAI’s actual contract may lack the explicit legal protections Anthropic demanded, despite the public solidarity. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=E9SeuQ49L&amp;id=VNmdoI3Re&amp;id=d0F5aH7Ci&amp;id=xURdvgDug" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>NVIDIA launches agentic AI blueprints for autonomous networks</strong>: Ahead of MWC 2026, NVIDIA unveiled a 30-billion-parameter Telco LLM and new ‘Agentic AI Blueprints’ designed to automate network operations and fault remediation. The release includes the Aerial Omniverse Digital Twin for simulating 6G RAN environments and open-sourced CUDA-accelerated libraries for software-defined 5G. Partners like T-Mobile and SoftBank are already demonstrating concurrent AI and RAN processing on GH200 hardware. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=N9cHfOw6g&amp;id=PJftzADbd&amp;id=pf0UFZRkY" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The MCP is dead long live the CLI manifesto</strong>: Critics are already calling the Model Context Protocol (MCP) overengineered ‘middleware for the sake of middleware’ that LLMs don’t actually need. The argument is that LLMs are already trained on CLIs, which are composable and debuggable, unlike MCP’s flaky initialization and coarse permissions. It’s a classic case of the industry trying to invent a new protocol for a problem that standard Unix pipes solved decades ago. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/lMlswjQmz" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>English is the hottest new programming language</strong>: IBM and others are pushing the narrative that ‘natural language’ is the only syntax you’ll ever need, effectively telling developers to stop learning code. While it makes for a great keynote slide, anyone who has tried to debug a 500-line prompt knows that ‘intent’ is not a substitute for deterministic logic. It’s a convenient way to sell more tokens while ignoring the massive technical debt created by non-deterministic ‘code’ generation. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/S7eeeCOoA" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Ad-supported AI chat is the dystopian future we deserve</strong>: A new satirical demo showcases ‘sponsored AI responses’ and ‘intent-based product cards’ integrated directly into LLM outputs. While framed as a joke, it highlights the inevitable pivot from $20/month subscriptions to the same ad-tech rot that ruined the web. If you thought hallucinated facts were bad, wait until your AI assistant starts prioritizing answers based on which brand paid for the ‘contextual text ad’ slot. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/I2C0gUrsS" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
