[cron:a4879bcf-8726-4f97-9628-ebb3ea4d6e5c Magoo Morning News Brief] MORNING BRIEF: Perform a deep scan of all major news, GitHub trends, and community breakthroughs (r/openclaw, r/Claudecode, r/localllama) from the prior 24h. Provide a high-signal summary with links.
Current time: Friday, February 27th, 2026 — 10:30 AM (UTC)

Return your summary as plain text; it will be delivered automatically. If the task explicitly calls for messaging a specific external recipient, note who/where it should go instead of sending it yourself.


The user is requesting a morning news brief. According to my SOUL.md, I need to:
1. Perform a deep scan of GitHub trends, AI news, and community updates from the prior 24h
2. Provide high-signal headlines with links
3. Use date filtering (freshness="pd" for web_search)

Let me start by searching for news across the required categories. I'll make multiple parallel searches to gather comprehensive information.

Perplexity API error (401): {"error":{"message":"Missing Authentication header","code":401}}


The web_search tool is failing due to authentication issues. I should fall back to using the SearXNG skill as mentioned in my TOOLS.md. Let me read that skill file and use it instead.


---
name: searxng-search
description: Local SearXNG metasearch engine for unlimited web searches. Use when web_search hits rate limits or when you need to search without API restrictions. Queries Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, and other engines via local SearXNG instance.
---

# SearXNG Search

Local metasearch engine running on `localhost:9090` that aggregates results from multiple search engines.

## When to Use

- When `web_search` returns rate limit errors (429)
- When you need unlimited searches without API costs
- As a fallback when Brave/Perplexity/Grok APIs fail

## Usage

Run the search script via exec:

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "your search query" [count] [freshness]
```

**Parameters:**
- `query` (required): Search query string
- `count` (optional): Number of results (default: 5, max recommended: 10)
- `freshness` (optional): Time filter — `day`, `week`, `month`, `year`

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic search
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "OpenAI news"

# Get more results
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "latest AI developments" 10

# NEWS: Filter to last 24 hours (ALWAYS use for news searches)
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news" 10 day

# Filter to last week
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "GitHub trending repos" 5 week
```

## Output Format

Returns JSON matching OpenClaw's web_search format:

```json
{
  "query": "search query",
  "provider": "searxng",
  "count": 5,
  "freshness": "day",
  "results": [
    {
      "title": "Result Title",
      "url": "https://example.com/page",
      "description": "Snippet text...",
      "engine": "google",
      "published": "2026-02-13T10:00:00Z"
    }
  ]
}
```

## News Searches

**For any news/current events search, ALWAYS use `day` freshness:**

```bash
~/.openclaw/skills/searxng-search/scripts/search.sh "AI news today" 10 day
```

This ensures you only get results from the last 24 hours — no stale articles from months ago.

## Requirements

- SearXNG running on `localhost:9090` (Docker container)
- Override URL with `SEARXNG_URL` env var if different

## Notes

SearXNG aggregates from multiple engines (Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Qwant) so results may be more comprehensive than single-provider APIs.


Good, I have the SearXNG skill. Now I'll use exec to run the search script for all my queries with "day" freshness for news.

As more than 100 million people watched the Super Bowl, the battle for the future of artificial intelligence spilled out into a massive public arena.
In a series of viral commercials, AI upstart Anthropic broadcast to football fans that they should avoid AI with ads. The commercial was obviously targeting OpenAI, which plans to add ads to ChatGPT. Anthropic’s bot, Claude, will never have ads, it says.
In one of the Super Bowl slots, a short man asks a representation of an AI assistant how to get six-pack abs. The super supportive AI trainer says he has a workout plan for the man before abruptly pivoting to a pitch for height-increasing insoles.
Sam Altman, co-founder and chief executive of OpenAI, fired back on social media, calling the ads “clearly dishonest.”
The public spat between the dueling San Francisco companies showcased an intense rivalry between OpenAI and Anthropic as they go head-to-head in a battle that could shape the technology’s future. While both companies are still very young, their grappling could emerge as the next big clash between brands like IBM vs. Apple, Coke vs. Pepsi or McDonald’s vs. Burger King.
While there are other AI behemoths — including Google, Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and others — OpenAI’s tension with Anthropic is telling because it stems from their shared origins and different philosophies.
OpenAI has historically favored quick, free, public releases of its latest AI models, such as ChatGPT. It believes that feedback from many users helps improve its models and make them safer.
Anthropic, co-founded by Dario Amodei, who left OpenAI in part because of its direction, says it is taking a more cautious approach. It says it is focusing on how to build AI products slowly and safely. It tries to control who gets the latest tech before unleashing it on the masses.
That difference in stances — OpenAI’s need for speed versus Anthropic’s stress on safety — has helped trigger the tension. Experts say OpenAI seems more likely to push boundaries with broad public access, while Anthropic initially prefers incremental steps through partnerships. Each wants to steer the conversation on what responsible AI will mean.
Of course, it is also a fight for market share in a fas

By Nishikant Dhanuka, Senior Director of AI at Prosus Group

At the beginning of February, 100 agent builders from across the Prosus portfolio gathered at AI House Amsterdam for our first-ever Agent Bootcamp. The goal: accelerate our agent roadmaps to deliver real business results. While building an agent is easy, getting one to work reliably in production at scale is where the real work begins. Nishikant Dhanuka, Senior Director of AI at Prosus Group, shared his perspective on the state of AI agents and where they're heading.

A year ago, the conversation across the AI industry centered on the question: which is the smartest model? Today, the conversation has shifted to something far more consequential: for how long can your agent work autonomously before it breaks? This transition from one-shot intelligence to endurance, from conversational AI to genuine autonomy, is the defining narrative of 2026. And much of the industry is still grappling with what this shift truly means.

#### 2025: The Year Agents Grew Up

2025 was a phenomenal year for AI agents, marked by several inflection points that compounded on each other. The year began with the DeepSeek moment, which democratised reasoning models—for the first time, we could see a model's thinking tokens separate from its output, enabling agents to plan before acting.

Soon after, Model Context Protocol (MCP) became the standard for agent-tool integration. Claude Code and other agentic Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) shifted how developers work, with many now spending more time in the agent panel than the code panel. Agentic browsers emerged, transforming the browser from a page-fetching tool into an agent capable of performing web tasks autonomously. If 2024 was the year of prompt engineering, 2025 became the year of context engineering.

The year concluded with OpenAI and Stripe's Agentic Commerce Protocol moving agents beyond information retrieval into real transactions, and two frontier models built specifically for agentic work: Claude Opus 4.5 and GPT 5.2. These models weren't built for chat – they were built for developers and agent builders. The benchmarks reflect this shift: agentic coding, terminal coding, tool use, comp

Vulnerability chain in OpenClaw allows any website to silently take full control of a developer's AI agent

, /PRNewswire/ -- [Oasis Security](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4628630-1&h=3330330545&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oasis.security%2F&a=Oasis+Security), the identity security platform, today released new [threat research](https://edge.prnewswire.com/c/link/?t=0&l=en&o=4628630-1&h=665957519&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.oasis.security%2Fblog%2Fopenclaw-vulnerability&a=threat+research) exploring a vulnerability chain in OpenClaw that allows any website to silently take full control of a developer's AI agent—with no plugins, extensions, or user interaction required.

OpenClaw, the open-source AI agent that rocketed to over 100,000 GitHub stars in five days, has become the default personal assistant for thousands of developers. It runs on their laptops, connects to their messaging apps, calendars, and dev tools, and takes autonomous actions on their behalf. It has also been trivially vulnerable to hijacking from any website the developer visits.

The Rise of OpenClaw
OpenClaw is a self-hosted AI agent that recently took the developer world by storm, becoming one of the fastest-growing open-source projects in history. Users interact with OpenClaw through a web dashboard or terminal, allowing it to autonomously send messages, run commands, manage workflows across platforms, and even form an emergent AI social network.

The Vulnerability
The vulnerability the Oasis Security Research Team discovered lives in the core system itself—no plugins, no marketplace, no user-installed extensions—just the bare OpenClaw gateway, running exactly as documented.

Here's the scenario: A developer has OpenClaw running on their laptop, with the gateway bound to localhost, protected by a password. They're browsing the web and accidentally land on a malicious website. That's all it takes.

The full attack chain works as follows:

- The victim visits any attacker-controlled (or compromised) website in their normal browser.

- JavaScript on the page opens a WebSocket connection to localhost on the OpenClaw gateway port (permitted because WebSocket connections to localhost are not blocked by cross-origin policies).

recently i haven't been following up on the latest AI dramas and just came back from a vacation. Did some looking around and found out that OpenClaw just blew up, looked into it but I didn't find anything significantly special. It just seems to be like a wrapper that has a huge amounts of pre-programmed function calls / skills / whatever built into it.

 Am I missing something? How is this blowing up? Respectfully, even for newbie programmers, they can probably simply vibe code a way more lightweight tool themselves in a day dedicated for their task at hand.
