Web scraping has quietly become the backbone of AI training data. But legal gray areas and sophisticated anti-blocking measures make success tricky. This guide reveals what works in 2025.
Sean Grove from OpenAI says coding is dead. Instead of writing code, developers should write specifications that generate software. AWS just launched Kiro to make this real, while GeneXus claims they've done it for 35 years
OpenAI's AI now controls computers while Trump prepares an order forcing AI companies to prove political neutrality for federal contracts. Tech giants must choose: adjust development or lose billions as China advances without limits.
Microsoft caught Chinese hackers red-handed in a massive supply chain attack. The group, Silk Typhoon, breached cloud storage services and remote management tools to spy on US organizations. They didn't just peek - they grabbed encryption keys to unlock sensitive customer data.
The hackers targeted state governments, tech companies, and anyone holding juicy information about US policy and law enforcement. Their December hack of the US Treasury Department shows they mean business - they compromised 400 computers while presumably enjoying their holiday season.
Microsoft's threat intelligence team calls Silk Typhoon "well-resourced and technically efficient." That's corporate speak for "these folks know their stuff." The group has crashed through healthcare, legal services, education, defense, and energy sectors like a digital bull in a china shop.
Why this matters:
China's elite hackers aren't just window shopping - they're raiding America's digital vault through trusted cloud services
When Microsoft calls a hacking group "well-resourced," it's time to double-check your digital locks
Tech translator with German roots who fled to Silicon Valley chaos. Decodes startup noise from San Francisco. Launched implicator.ai to slice through AI's daily madness—crisp, clear, with Teutonic precision and deadly sarcasm.
Trump's new AI plan promises deregulation for infrastructure but demands political neutrality from AI models. Companies seeking federal contracts must prove their systems aren't biased—a move that could slow US progress while China races ahead.
Washington blinked first. After trying to choke China's AI ambitions with chip bans, the U.S. reversed course in July 2025. The reason? Beijing's $98 billion AI bet was working—Chinese startups were matching Silicon Valley with a fraction of the resources.
Microsoft used Chinese engineers to maintain Pentagon's most sensitive systems for nearly a decade. Top Defense officials had no idea. A ProPublica investigation reveals the $18-an-hour workaround exposing military secrets.
Trump reverses China chip ban after Nvidia CEO's White House visit. The $15 billion policy flip shows economic interests beating security concerns in the AI race with Beijing.
