**STEP 3:** FILTER & CURATE
- Remove duplicate URLs
- Remove over-reported: Anthropic $30B, NASA Crew-12, DHS shutdown, Munich Conference
- **CRITICAL: If you find 3+ stories on same topic, pick only the 2 best, discard rest**
- Ensure variety: don't have 3 Ukraine stories, 2 is max

**STEP 4:** Format briefing
📰 **Magoo Briefing** — [Time EST], [Date]

🛠 **TECH:**
🤖 **AI:**
🌍 **GLOBAL:**
💰 **MARKETS:**

Current time: Monday, February 16th, 2026 — 2:20 PM (UTC)


Let me break down this task:

1. Read memory to extract existing URLs (avoid duplicates)
2. Search broadly across 5 categories with freshness filters
3. Filter duplicates and over-reported stories
4. Ensure diversity (max 2 items per topic)
5. Format and send briefing
6. Append URLs to memory

Let me start by reading memory to see what URLs we've already reported.

I'll execute the diverse briefing protocol. Starting with memory check and then broad searches across all categories.

Good, I have the recent memory. Now I'll extract all the URLs to avoid duplicates and ensure I'm not over-reporting on the same topics.

URLs already reported (to avoid):
- OpenClaw/OpenAI hiring story (multiple URLs)
- GitHub security advisories
- ByteDance/Disney
- Instagram addiction
- Jimmy Lai sentence
- Nigeria attacks
- Orban/Rubio
- Syrian Kurds
- Navalny
- Savannah Guthrie

- PentestAgent (already covered)
- WebMCP (already covered)
- BaseAI (already covered)
- Tambo AI (already covered)
- claw-compactor (already covered)
- XandRouting (already covered)

Over-reported topics to skip:
- Anthropic $30B funding
- NASA Crew-12
- DHS shutdown

- OpenClaw/OpenAI acquisition (already extensively covered)

Now I need to do broad searches across categories with freshness filters. I'll use web_search with freshness="pd" (past day) for each category.

NPR’s David Greene is suing Google over its AI podcast voice.
The former host of Morning Edition and current host of Left, Right & Center claims that Google illegally replicated his voice for its male podcast host in NotebookLM. Google denies this, but Greene (and many of his friends and colleagues) say the resemblance is “uncanny.” As the [Washington Post](https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2026/02/15/david-greene-google-ai-podcast/) reports:
To Greene, the resemblance of the AI voice to his own is uncanny — and the harm is deeper and more personal than just a missed chance to capitalize on his most recognizable asset.
“My voice is, like, the most important part of who I am,” Greene said.

Western Digital says it’s “pretty much soldout” for 2026.
Enterprise customers, especially AI data centers, have already [gobbled up](https://investor.wdc.com/events/event-details/western-digital-second-quarter-fiscal-2026-earnings-call) the company’s capacity for 2026. At this point, consumer sales account for just[5 percent](https://www.tweaktown.com/news/110168/western-digital-runs-out-of-hdd-capacity-ceo-says-massive-ai-deals-secured-price-surges-ahead/index.html) of the company’s revenue, so it’s no surprise WD is prioritizing high-capacity drives for data centers.

Polymarket ran a popup ‘free grocery store’ in NYC because it has ‘market’ in its name.

The web_fetch results aren't giving me headline lists — just navigation elements or generic descriptions. Let me try a different approach: fetch directly from RSS feeds or API endpoints that provide structured news data, or try more specific news sites.

Let me try BBC News, Ars Technica, and some specialized tech news sites.

Web fetches not yielding headlines. Trying more specific news sources.
