<li><strong>Anthropic and Pentagon clash over AI ethics</strong>: Anthropic has been designated a supply chain risk by the DoD after refusing to remove safeguards that prevent its models from being used for mass surveillance or autonomous weaponry. In response, the White House has directed federal agencies to halt Anthropic usage, while hundreds of engineers from OpenAI and Google have signed an open letter protesting the move as government overreach. This dispute has already triggered multi-hour outages for Claude services as user traffic spiked following the public fallout. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=JoQ9tJBSS&amp;id=HTPBjiENt&amp;id=Q8coSh6AF" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>AWS data centers hit by drone strikes in Middle East</strong>: Amazon Web Services facilities in the UAE and Bahrain suffered structural damage and power disruptions following Iranian drone and missile attacks on March 3. This marks the first time major US cloud infrastructure has been directly impacted by military action, forcing customers to migrate workloads to unaffected regions. The incident highlights the physical vulnerability of global compute clusters in volatile geopolitical zones. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=rar5XOK6I&amp;id=wK8ROj11e" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Motorola breaks Pixel monopoly on GrapheneOS</strong>: Motorola has announced a long-term partnership to bring the hardened, privacy-focused GrapheneOS to its flagship devices, including the Razr and ThinkPhone lines, starting in 2027. This ends GrapheneOS’s long-standing dependency on Google Pixel hardware, though Motorola must first meet strict requirements for hardware memory tagging and firmware update cadence. The collaboration specifically targets enterprise and government sectors seeking a de-Googled Android experience. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/InYjzvxra" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>

<h2>Bullshit police</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>The AI coding is solved delusion</strong>: Anthropic’s head of Claude Code recently declared ‘coding is solved,’ which is a fascinating take for a company currently offering $50k signing bonuses to find humans who can actually fix their broken infrastructure. If coding were solved, we wouldn’t need a ‘Context Flywheel’ to stop agents from hallucinating basic API calls. It turns out ‘solved’ just means ‘can generate a landing page if you prompt it three times.’ <a href="https://app.daily.dev/feed-by-ids?id=8MzkC9L2x&amp;id=OXvke52oX" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>Perplexity is the enterprise killer that isn’t</strong>: Despite the breathless tech-bro hype on X, Perplexity holds a measly 18% enterprise adoption and almost zero influence with actual procurement decision-makers. While researchers love it for finding citations, 87% of actual referral traffic is still coming from ChatGPT. Optimizing your B2B strategy for Perplexity right now is like buying a billboard in a town where everyone stays indoors. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/xnvqZnJQV" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
<li><strong>The great Linux usage collapse</strong>: Steam’s February survey shows a ‘massive’ 1.15% drop in Linux usage, which sensationalist headlines are treating as the death of the Steam Deck. In reality, it’s just the usual data noise caused by a massive spike in Simplified Chinese users flooding the stats. We see this every time a major game launches in Asia, yet every month we pretend the ‘Year of the Linux Desktop’ just got cancelled again. <a href="https://app.daily.dev/posts/qui6e4VyE" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Read more</a></li>
