Now I have enough material to compile a diverse briefing. Let me organize it:

**TECH (2-3 items):**
1. 454,000+ malicious open source packages discovered (Infosecurity Magazine / The Register) — supply chain crisis
2. Open source registries underfunded as security costs rise (The Register) - same story, skip one
3. PentestAgent AI pentesting tool — security/tech news (cybersecuritynews.com)

Actually, let me pick the best tech stories:
1. 454,000+ malicious open source packages (Infosecurity Magazine) — supply chain security

2. GitHub Codespaces RCE vulnerability (Infosecurity Magazine) — pure GitHub security
3. Software stocks crash 13%, $800B wiped... actually that's more markets

**AI (2-3 items):**
1. India AI Impact Summit — Modi hosts Altman, Pichai, Amodei (Times)

I'm narrowing down to the strongest stories across categories. The malicious packages story and GitHub vulnerability are both solid security angles, while the software stocks piece leans more toward markets coverage. For AI, I'm starting with the India summit as a major geopolitical AI moment.

Now I'm checking whether the Anthropic India revenue story and the summit announcement are really separate angles or if one subsumes the other. They're connected but distinct — the summit is the broader event, while Anthropic's revenue growth is a specific company milestone. I also spotted an OpenClaw founder joining OpenAI, which could be another AI angle worth considering instead of the revenue story.

For global news, I'm seeing two major talks both happening in Geneva today — US-Iran nuclear negotiations and Ukraine-Russia peace discussions focused on territorial issues. They're separate stories despite the location overlap, so I'll keep both. Canada's Carney is also making moves to unite the EU and CPTPP countries against US tariffs, which ties into the broader trade war narrative.

On markets, Bitcoin is stabilizing above support at $68,880, but we already covered a Bitcoin story yesterday with the plunge scenario, so I need to decide if this is worth repeating or if I should look at what's coming next in the markets section.

For science, I'm looking at two compelling breakthroughs — Northwestern's lab-grown spinal cord that can heal after injury, and UVA research on parasites hiding in brain immune cells.

Now I'm finalizing the tech section and deciding between the open source security stories or swapping in the software market crash and KubeCon security news instead.

I'll go with the malicious packages story paired with the GitHub Codespaces vulnerability, then move into the AI section with India's summit and Anthropic's revenue growth there. For global news, I'm covering the US-Iran nuclear talks and Ukraine-Russia peace negotiations in Geneva, with Canada's Carney story starting to come together.

Now I'm adding the EU and CPTPP coalition forming against Trump's tariffs, then moving into markets with the software stock decline driven by AI disruption concerns and Bitcoin holding steady near $68,880. Finally, wrapping up with two science stories—the lab-grown spinal cord regeneration breakthrough and the parasite discovery in brain immune cells. That gives me a solid 11 items across all categories without clustering too heavily on any single topic.

I'm noticing the India AI Summit items are starting to feel repetitive, so I'm considering swapping one out for the OpenClaw founder joining OpenAI story instead, which would give better diversity to the AI coverage. I'm going to skip that OpenClaw story since I can't verify it properly. Now I'm settling on my final selections: the malicious open source packages and GitHub Codespaces vulnerability for tech, the India AI Summit and Anthropic's India growth for AI, and the US-Iran nuclear talks for global news.

I'm also including the Ukraine-Russia peace negotiations and Canada's tariff coalition, then wrapping up with the software index crash and Bitcoin stabilization for markets, plus the spinal cord regeneration research and what looks like another neuroscience story that got cut off.

Now I have enough for a solid diverse briefing. Let me compile and send it.
