So, no moratorium on state-level AI regulations. Those developing AI systems, get ready to learn and implement compliance measures for 50 different states. Woe to us.

Cloudflare makes a large step towards data monetization for AI training. Now all new data hosted on Cloudflare is inaccessible to AI crawlers by default. There is also a new option for the page to return code HTTP 402 (“Payment required”) and charge for access. Of course, Cloudflare will be an intermediary, which gives it significant control and financial power.
Moreover, it could spark an era of “dark crawling”, which will undoubtedly lead to cat-and-mouse games of crawer detection.
AI-assisted coding for teams that can’t get away with vibes
A very nice guide to using AI agents for coding efficiently. It’s brief, but it gives the idea where to dig.
Google search head reveals “game system” approach as AI mode begins advertising rollout
Google will show ads in its AI mode. An entirely expected move from the search giant, given that AI search and other features break the traditional ads model. It will be interesting to see how those new ad integration techniques will evolve, and what the new generation of ad blockers will look like.

About reusable instructions for coding agentsMicrosoft’s rekindling of Three Mile Island nuclear plant is ahead of schedule
Demand for AI is resurrecting nuclear power—the most efficient and carbon-free power source we currently posess. This serves as a stark reminder that one cannot consider immediate effects in isolation from their second- and third-order consequences.
State of Cybersecurity Resilience 2025
Only one in ten organizations is sufficiently protected against AI-related threats. Hasty adoption of AI-based tools dramatically increases the attack surface. It is crucial to carefully and methodically develop the security strategy for each system, collect the best practices and educate the stakeholders.
Apple formed a workgroup to support Android app development using Swift. It can be interesting for companies that already have iOS applications and would like to reuse the business logic on Android. The UI and other platform-specific components, however, still have to be written using native frameworks and libraries.
Build and share AI-powered apps with Claude
A new feature from Anthropic that allows you to create and share small AI-powered applications using artifacts. These apps use the end user’s Claude account for that. Turns out that Gemini already has had this feature for some time.
Gemini CLI: your open-source AI agent
Now Google has its own CLI coding agent. Massive context, generous free tier (it’s free for most cases), and fully open-source. I’m yet to try it, but it looks impressive.
