<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The great data center construction mirage</strong>: Industry hype claims we’re building a 241GW AI empire, but actual data shows only 33% of announced US capacity is under active development. We’re essentially watching a capital misallocation bubble where NVIDIA GPU sales are being booked long before there’s a physical plug to stick them into. It’s a classic case of ‘vapor-infrastructure’ propped up by opaque industry reporting. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/X3my4Sf8s" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Cursor’s transparency oopsie with Kimi</strong>: Cursor launched its ‘in-house’ Composer 2 model to much fanfare, only for internet sleuths to discover it was actually Moonshot AI’s Kimi k2.5 in a trench coat. The co-founders eventually admitted the non-disclosure was a ‘mistake,’ but it’s a reminder that in the ‘vibe coding’ era, ‘proprietary’ often just means ‘we fine-tuned someone else’s open weights and hoped you wouldn’t check the API headers.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=0hBN6hU9R&amp;id=6IlX0UUsy" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The 1,000x performance fairy tale</strong>: SpacetimeDB is out here claiming 1000x faster performance than PostgreSQL by simply loading everything into RAM and pretending network latency is the only thing that matters. It’s easy to win a race when you ignore the safety requirements of a real database and benchmark against a straw man. Wake me up when they have independent verification that doesn’t involve ‘just trust our internal numbers.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/fgMT5xF5i" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
